Post-Game Talk: Leafs @ Rangers 1/26/13 "Boyle stole DZ's goal" Edition

[Ail]

Holy cow can't I think about it first? Might even make one up especially for you...

Ha, yes, next game is your deadline!

 

[17futurecap]

I like all dem shots!

 

[SixGoalieSystem]

Very good comeback win. Needed this to build confidence.

POTG: Gaborik
The Good: Nash, MDZ, Ferreiro, Staal, Boyle
HM: Hagelin
Bad: The fights
The Powerplay: The Powerplay

 

[Panfork]

That was truly beautiful. I knew they'd pick the game up after the 1st and take the win. The negativity in the first thread was brutal, they played great hockey all game long.

 

[Net Front Presence]

Stanley Cup, here we come!

Gabby handing that puck to the little girl was cute.

Agreed. Classy move.

 

[Levitate]

Good game overall. even being down 0-2 they outplayed the Leafs all night and finally the goals came

Del Zotto is being pretty awesome this year...he's not perfect but he looks like he's taking another step forward offensively and he's moving the puck with authority and reading the play really well in terms of when to jump up, etc. Torts is giving him a lot of icetime now and he's handling the right side pretty well. Still could clean things up defensively at times but he's been pretty solid, and I feel like that pairing is becoming the "offensive pairing" while McD and Girardi are the "defensive pairing"

Fierrero looked pretty good in the time he got, I think he stays up. Still woud like to see the lines rolled more but with the Rangers having to play from behind all game it makes sense

Nice to see the 3rd line get a goal and generally they all seemed to play pretty well

Lundqvist was solid, though he didn't have a lot of work. Not a lot he could do on those goals

Hopefully they keep it up, that was a good game

 

[Maaxse]

I'm quite happy and positive, but i think we call agree we can't afford those defensive lapses against the Flyers.

 

[MorrisWanchuk]

Feels Good Man

 

[Clown Fiesta]

Ha, yes, next game is your deadline!

Sounds good!

 

[Kokoschka]

Good: DZ, Staal, Nash, Gaborik; I thought Ferreiro was okay.
Bad: didn't like Richards on the PP;
Redden: TOR even having a shot in this game...that's not on anybody though

-Gaborik
-Nash
-Del Zotto

Gaborik is lighting **** on fire. Nash is 1000x better than I expected him to be, what a talent he is. I feel blessed to have him on our team. Enough said. Richies best game so far, Staal played great minus being out of position on the 2nd goal. Our defense still needs to work on their positioning as its easy to see its not there yet. Hank is coming along. Lets hope this is the start of a beautiful thing.

 

[NYR Viper]

I know most people will talk about that first line but I like the way the 2nd and 3rd finished the game.

Pyatt-Boyle-Stepan
Hagelin-Ferreiro-Callahan

Seemed to be legit chemistry there

 

[pld459666]

Toronto is pretty bad.

Nice comeback win by the Rangers, but man Toronto has given up some leads early this season.

 

[bumrusherer]

Best total effort this season...awesome to see our 3 main guys dominate the game like that.

And credit to our back end for shutting the door after a slow start.

 

[Fitzy]

Over a condensed season, we are going to have to find a way to better evenly distribute the minutes. I don't think the 4th line saw the ice in the third.

 

[MrEctions]

Really really like what Ferriero brought to the team. Speed, grit, tenacious. Big fan of him tonight.

 

[Clown Fiesta]

Gaborik, Richards, Nash, Staal, and Del Zotto all a +4.

 

[mike14]

Only saw the last period, but the 3 lines they were rolling looked really good. the staal-DZ pairing was also flying.

I need to watch more games, I saw the first period of the Boston game (2 goals) and last of today (4 goals).

 

[FultonReed]

GG boys.

 

[JESSEWENEEDTOCOOK]

Three stars:

1)As a unit, the EW&F line. 8 points. Count 'em; EIGHT!!!

2)Marc Staal. Great on D and fueled the comeback on offense.

3)What the hell, I lied Ferriero's effort, I'll toss him a bone.

MSG needs to play September when that line scores.

 

[Thunderhead]

Great , great Win.

 

[Swedish Fish]

Gabby
DZ
and me for not punching a hole through my tv after the first period.

 

[DoTheBlue]

Nice game. Something to build on.

 

[NYRKING30]

Also I maybe in the minority on this one but the Gabby-Richards-Nash line should be broken up to spread out the offense on this team unless Hagelin steps up to be a true goal scorer. We cannot have Rupp on the as our 3rd line rw. It will sprwad things out and IMO create a more balanced attack. I think that line should only be used for pp situations and late in the game 3rd period down 1 goal moments.
