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

[PhilJets]

That 3rd goal of Laine, he just like.. I'm going to shoot this mother@$@ wherever I am. Don't care

 

[raideralex99]

Nice to see the Mason haters gone for a day.
I wonder who they can hate on tonight?
Can we please stop hating on a player if he has a bad game or makes a mistake or does not score 5 goals for you?
The Jets are a top elite team and a true SC contender ... enjoy it.

 

[ocdaddy]

Maybe the Professor was right all along... Laine just needed the right center to work with!

 

[MrBoJangelz71]

I disagree. I think it shows that he is not a top 6 player for us.

You got your full impression of a player’s ability to mesh with 2 other players, from observing 6 minutes of them being on the ice at the same time?

Add to it, one of those players was forced to play out of position?

 

[CorgisPer60]

Hope Scheifele is okay.

Great job by Mason on getting the shutout.

Laine with another hattrick!



All in all a great night in Peoplehatten!

You mean Ushatten.

 

[10Ducky10]

Play Helle the next three games and give Mason the Preds game.

Myers sucks...

 

[tntkid]

I am still here until he can be consistent and own the net.

Mason sucked ass all season so lets not wear beer goggles when he has one good game.

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

No. The whole "3rd" line is doing that. Not just Laine.

Remember how many points Copp got when he was in the top 6 and not even that was good enough long term.

Maurice on Scheifle injury: "It has nothing to do with his previous injury."

Translation: "It has everything to do with his previous injury."

Also Maurice: "I am hopeful but he needs to be checked out again tomorrow"

RIP Scheifele.

Maybe we can give hm a chance to play a few games without getting concussed and see how he does?

 

[MardyBum]

L-S(t?)-E for life. Even if Scheif is injured, don't touch it. I'd like to keep Wheeler at W but Mo is gonna Mo. A healthy Lowry would be nice.

 

[ocdaddy]

Jets now tied with VGK for 2nd in the West.

C'mon Dallas...

 

[Tom ServoMST3K]

Lundqvist is still an elite goalie, BTW. Strong performance from him.

 

[AlphaLackey]

Happy for Mason, good solid night for him.

I am also happy with the win but didn't like how we went into a shell in the third.

I'm not picking on you because other posters have echoed this sentiment. But all I can say to that is that the team is now 32-1-1 when ahead going into the third, so I'm hard pressed to criticize their 3rd period strategy with results like that.

Definitely kept the Rangers in the game and he might of won the game for them if it wasn't for that flashy Finn.

 

[MardyBum]

Lundqvist is still an elite goalie, BTW. Strong performance from him.

He was pretty great tonight considering the shots he faced. I don't blame a goalie for not stopping a Laine shot, even when he doesn't score you can see goalies have trouble with it making a save, they fumble the puck, look around for it, etc. He was lights out against everyone else.

Poor guy wants to be there for their rebuild, hopefully it's quick with the money and attraction of talent they have.

Yeah once again I never felt very threatened by the rangers in the 3rd.

I like that we’ve led 34 times going into the 3rd.

 

[Mud Turtle]

Full 60 minutes. Awesome effort!
Laine? What else can we say? Insane!

 

[Gm0ney]

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

I don't think his 2.33 goals/game pace he's had over the last 3 games is sustainable...

He could actually be a 20% shooter though...it's insane.

 

[AlphaLackey]

actually, Manhattan comes from the First Nation's name for the island, which means "island of many hills".
so your attempt to make fun of political correctness is a wee bit lost.

Not lost in the least, given that political correctness often gives zero f***s about the actual etymology of the word. See which, complaints about "obvious sexism" in words like "history" or the "obvious racism" in words like "Racial Slurrdly". Objective reality doesn't matter when someone of a sufficiently high scoring Victimhood Coefficient is offended.

Better luck next time.

Yeah, Mason has had a bad start. But you don't judge a goalie from such a small sample size. Mason is 4th overall in 5v5 save percentage for goalies since 2014 (including this season). I have complete confidence with either Mason or Helle in the net.

 

[WPGChief]

Scheifele injury = bad.
Ehlers-Stastny-Laine = very good.
Perreault-Little-Roslovic = better, but still struggling.

Welcome back, the real Steve Mason.
