Post-Game Talk: Laine 3 New York Rangers 0. Yay!

[bustamente]

Coming to the Central Standing very soon

 

[SensibleGuy]

50 percent is unsustainable. I'll bet my left nut

Well, ok...if it levels off to 25% that wouldn’t be so bad...

 

[HannuJ]

Laine on his way to the rocket. Mason great in backup role.

Schief better be ok. They were digging into his clavicle so maybe soft tissue?

yeah. pec or deltoid.
didn't look too, too serious, but he may be out for a week with a sprain.

 

[KingBogo]

Maurice will be in trouble with Chevy and Chipman for putting Patrik out there with an EN when there's a clear directive to keep his numbers down.

Pretty funny, but not as funny as all the conspiracy theories along the way.

 

[Adam da bomb]

I think that game goes a long way towards answering the question people keep insisting that Armia could be a 2 or first liner if given the opportunity and played with skilled guys.

 

[Atoyot]

So what is unsustainable for the best shooter in the game? I think it is yet to be defined really.

He's shooting 50%. That is unsustainable.

 

[ATLbound]

A win is a win. And we keep winning so that is good. But for the potentially best top 9 and deepest forward group in the league we have a lot of cold players right now. Laine is single handily carrying us on offence

 

[Tom ServoMST3K]

After that Zucc chance hit the post, and Laine scored to make it 1-0, I was 100% confident we would win this one.

I'm getting used to this "winning" thing.

 

[SensibleGuy]

That second goal by Laine (well...goes without saying lol) was filthy. Amirite?

 

[10Ducky10]

I think that game goes a long way towards answering the question people keep insisting that Armia could be a 2 or first liner if given the opportunity and played with skilled guys.

Sure, base it on 5 shifts...

 

[Tasteless Beaver]

Maybe Laine said "cut me loose for the rest of this season, I'll make my bonus, and re-sign over the summer at Scheifele's contract"...

 

[robertocarlos]

It's not Armia's fault Grandpa missed. And Armia set up other goals. He just can't score himself and loses the puck easily. Maybe he is injured*.

*Am I doing it right?

 

[Adam da bomb]

Sure, base it on 5 shifts...

How often do players get more than that to prove themselves. You get one opportunity you better be ready when that opportunity knocks.

 

[bustamente]

Noodles said during the broadcast that Lowry was on the cusp of coming back, doesn't replace Chef but this team has proven they can win without being 100% healthy

 

[Tommigun]

So happy for Mason, he really needed that shutout. Really liked his positioning and glove. I was bummed at first as was hoping to see Hutch again but I’ll take that any day!

Kulikov with the worst game I’ve ever seen him play, he’s been pretty good up ‘til now but that was just putrid. Morrow I didn’t like either.

Hope Scheif is ok but I think they just shut him down for maintenance, not worried yet.

Oh and congrats Laine!

 

[robertocarlos]

Maybe Laine said "cut me loose for the rest of this season, I'll make my bonus, and re-sign over the summer at Scheifele's contract"...

I agree. Laine only scores on half his shots so he should only get half his money.

 

[Instincts]

Remember those days when we couldn't win three games in a row (last year) ?

 

[Guardian17]

Hope Scheifele is okay.

Great job by Mason on getting the shutout.

Laine with another hattrick!



All in all a great night in Peoplehatten!

 

[DharmaBum]

I haven't seen goalies look this uncomfortable when facing Laine since Canteen Boy went on the Boy Scouts camping outing.

 

[Kratti]

Nice to see Mason get a shutout & Laine get the hatty. Didn't see the first half of the game, thought the Jets looked unremarkable yet solid in the latter half. Routine win.

Let's hope Scheifele's injury isn't too serious and he's back in time for the playoffs. Wonder what lines PoMo'll run if/when he's out.

[Jetsfan79]

Quick question..as I cant remember at the moment> If the Jets finish 2nd in their division, and eventually play Vegas who won their division, who has home ice if the Jets have more points?

 

[Tom ServoMST3K]

Noodles said during the broadcast that Lowry was on the cusp of coming back, doesn't replace Chef but this team has proven they can win without being 100% healthy

Lowry was in the lineup for two games with Scheifele. We played the best team in the east, and the best team in the west in those two games, and gave up 1. ONE! even strength goal.

 

[10Ducky10]

Vegas

 

[puck stoppa]

Oh, and I should add, Laine making NHL goalies look like they're blindfolded is a thing of beauty!
