Post-Game Talk: Jazz

[LOFIN]

Zibanejad still sucks

2nd line continues from where they left off

3rd and 4th lines are awesome

Carry on

But yeah the narrative this year is everybody should be rooting for Utah but not me. Sorry these terrible teams don't interest me one bit.

Hated Vegas from day one by the way, and I couldn't have been more right because look what that scumbag organization has become.

Successful?

 

[Kords]

Vally was spot on. Too many times do the Rangers get suckered into track meets with sloppy transition teams.

 

[Breaded Fox]

Low energy, stupid long hair Mika, needs to go.

 

[Machinehead]

We were horrible defensively.

We had a lot of breakdowns but Utah converted high-danger chances at a 67% rate. That's insane.

 

[noncents]

hfnyr gonna love killing igor and mika after this so id rather talk about positives, 3rd line, jones, etc.

but lemme just say that if you put derick brassards heart in zibanejads body you'd have a helluva centreman

So, this is Planet Rangers. --Reilly Smith

Odell Miller Jr should go the Dennis Rodman route and dye his hair every game. I’m starting to worry about Mika, is he on a serious fast decline? This isn’t based off of 2 games, this is basing it off of how awful he was at even strength last year and how he’s continuing to just be a non factor 5 on 5.

 

[Graves97]

I’m sure he cares and hates sucking but he just sucks ass. You can’t will yourself into not being cheeks

You don’t just start sucking overnight and it’s not like he’s at an age where his play should naturally slowdown.

Like I said, the team never met a track meet they didn't like

 

[CasusBelli]

I don’t get the ruling on that disallowed goal in the second. The officials argued that our player had his skates in the blue crease, but the goalie instigated contact, and the rule that let to Brett Hull’s controversial Cup winner is defunct.

Otherwise, it was an entertaining game, no doubt there. Would like to see more finish from Mika and Miller, and CK (amazing conditioning and speed from him so far!) needs more support; he can’t do it all on his own (Smith hasn’t done anything for me). The power play needs work. PK was impressive.

Still early days, though, so I won’t jump to conclusions. Utah just outplayed us.

 

[Whoot Whoot]

Mika doing Mika stuff

 

[noncents]

Like I said, the team never met a track meet they didn't like

track meets are probably really fun to play in.

 

[17futurecap]

Miller and Fox were dumb on the 4 on 4 goal, but Lindgren and Fox should never be a thing again. They had the puck in the offensive zone all game again at five on five.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

Igor after last game: Yep! I'm gonna get more than 11 million.

Igor after this game: Maybe more than 11 million rubles...maybe....

No goalie ever is worth that money (given the salary cap). And Igor is not that guy, he's not Hasek, Brodeur, or Roy. He's a Swayman level goalie at best.

 

[Breaded Fox]

Mika early favorite for the Redden award. I think I was fair with him last year.. but I'm done

Honestly, I had a much bigger problem with the goalie interference call on Cuylle. That was some bogus shit.

 

[CasusBelli]

He might just need a change of scenery. It looks like that kind of situation. He doesn’t seem engaged. I don’t know what’s going on there.

 

[Stugots]

Didn’t we have a game like this against this team last season early on or am I misremembering? Either way, very annoying team to play against.

yeah people crowing about miller with fox i don't get at all. third period they absolutely dominated possession.

Two games without Lindgren, two games with good underlying numbers.

 

[Brutananadilewski]

Remember when people were saying his slow play last year was because he had a kid?

Good times. Good times.

 

[mas0764]

Not horrible to lose an early OT game to a western conference team of young upstarts.

But the thing to take away from this is that they need to be actively searching for how to move Mika’s contract next summer and also not to pay Igor.

 

[CasusBelli]

Honestly, I had a much bigger problem with the goalie interference call on Cuylle. That was some bogus shit.

I forgot about that one. I don’t know how the guy is supposed to make an effort to get out of the way, when he has his head down, skating full speed, and the goalie comes charging at him. Just asinine.

insane save by ingram on that play though.
