Post-Game Talk: lightnings @ RANGER

[chosen]

I was at Rangers Flyers 1979 playoffs - were you ?

What are you trying to say?

 

[THE BIG WHISTLE]

What are you trying to say?

I guess that some of us are getting old and we have watched a lot of Ranger hockey, just a guess though

Remember Kreider's first goal, in the playoffs against Washington? It was a rocket of a slapper. Has the guy taken a single slapper since then?

Actually, I think it was against Ottawa. Although, he had a similar goal against Washington that playoffs as well.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

Been saying it for a few weeks. He’s our third best defenseman now. And the sky’s the limit.

Is #2 Trouba or Lindgren?

 

[egelband]

Okay so we beat and shutout Tampa decisively in regulation while missing our best forward in Panarin and our 1 LD, 3 LD and 4C.

Two straight wins against the best team in the league.

Does that count? Does it not count because we got outshot? Or maybe it doesn’t count because it was a day game?

Day game. TB a mess after being up all night at the casino.

I was also really impressed with Jones and Lundkvist. Tampa is a tough assignment and they answered the bell.

The whole D corp in general deserves credit, even Hajek, who I think hasn’t been that bad since coming back.

Hajek has made some bad decisions but has also shown promise. He’s big and starting to play that way.

Trouba, of course. Miller has surpassed Lindgren…in my opinion.

It was

you’re right

8 mil Mayfield > 3 mil Brodin?

Me slowly learning to join the K'andre Miller supporters

 

[bhamill]

Great game overall. Mika breaking out. Laf is coming along nicely. Sure I wish he was on a 70 point pace already, but he doesn’t worry me. He’s going to be an excellent well rounded hockey player.

 

[Do you want ants]

I really hope we go with Seinfeld playoff avatars this year. I know this is unrelated but I just wanted to put it out there lol

This was supposed to be the summer of Georgiev…over the gif of him not congratulating Shesty…

 

[SnowblindNYR]

I was confused for a second.

 

[AWall THE CLAW]

GAH! I be watchin' football and I miss Streaky Zib's Magic Hatty? Darn. Go Rangers.

I sure hope you didn't watch the Jets or Giants instead of this game. (Though I guess the Jets played well).

 

[McRanger92]

It feels like they can win any game with Igor and the star power they have. Just get in to the dance and we’ve got a shot in 7 against anyone

 

[CommaSynapse]

Very happy to see Jones play well. He's a very good skater and seems to almost have a Fox-like elusiveness in terms of avoiding hits.

He's deserved to be on the team since the start of the season.

 

[Creepingjeff]

Nice game against a good team. There is a lot of talk about what is sustainable for this team. I look at it a bit different. Here is what is sustainable over the next two years:

- Top 10 Power Play - Since we got Panarin, we have a great PP. No reason to think this won't continue

- Top 10 PK - Your goalie is your best PKer, and we have good pieces on it

- Norris caliber defenseman

- Top 10 Forward

- Top line Center - Even with his struggles, Zibs has still produced as a number one

- Great RD depth - Fox and Trouba are great. I think Nils is coming along just fine and we have Schneider progressing

- Vezina level goalie

- Legit good NHL coach

None of these things are flukes. That is some major good things to have. I am not even mentioning a lot of good pieces we have. We have some holes, but almost all teams do. We have four players that can take over a game at times. I am going to sit back and enjoy this while it lasts.

I'm, strangely enough, a lifelong Eagles fan. Go Birds.

I can't believe that coach got that team playing that way.

just means you're old.

Alright enough of that now.
AND STAY OFF MY LAWN!!!


anybody seen my choppers?

 

[SnowblindNYR]

Someone on the Caps board said that the Rangers got "outplayed again by a skeleton crew from Tampa and would be a bottom 5 team in the NHL without Shesterkin". 1) First of all most of their players were back. 2) Expected goal differential was almost even. 3) Since the first Florida game out expected goal differential has been higher than our opponents' almost every game, or have been at least close (this does include PP because it counts). 4) Georgiev who has been awful to start the season is 5-3-2. Take a look at Tampa when Vasilveskiy was out.

We're not "ride those loser points" good like the Capitals but we're ok.

Are you really expecting anything more from the Caps board than utter drivel? They've been Wilson apologists for years.

Guess I shouldn't.
