Post-Game Talk: One of the games in NHL history

How'd arthur kaliyev look?

Who?

 

[SnowblindNYR]

There's a regular hat trick, a natural hat trick, and a Gordie Howe hat trick. Introducing the Mika Zibanejad hat trick. Three missed breakaways with the game on his stick.

THAT good eh?

Going to love the meltdown on this board when the Rangers make the playoffs.

Until tonite, I was pretty sure we would sneak into the playoffs, but after tonite I can’t see it. Definition of mediocre.

Fortunately the teams we need to pass are even more mediocre.

3 breakaways for Mika from center ice and all poor attempts. He’s shot

Past 60 games in a row without a game winning goal for Mika, if my math is correct

Hes 31 years old folks

He's on the "me" aging curve.

Not noticeable good or bad. Not what you want from a forward.

 

[LOFIN]

Eh, deserved a regulation win. Definitely deserved a shootout win. Not going to complain about our first shootout win after over 40 games.

It was more of an observation as a whole in the NHL points system. Should either go with W/L, or 3-2-1-0 like in Europe. The current system where some games are worth more points than others, and OT/SO wins are woth the same as regulation wins is just bland. Obviously Bettman and co. love it, because it increases parity.

Wasn't fan of the trade but Borgen has been...kinda a breath of fresh air on d.

 

[Flan the incredible]

Well that seems like a stretch at this point lol

Oiler fans said that last year too

This team was also 2 wins from a trip to the finals last year and that was with Trouba and Goody. Carrick has played better than Goody and Borgen has been better than Trouba. If a few guys put it back together they could easily be a tough out. Half the team isn't playing great and they are 5-0-2 in their last 7.

This team is Jekyll and Hyde.....no clue which one shows up.

Thnx. Glad rangers got a w

I'm some what famous for my great ideas and I just had another great one.

I would make shootouts be limited to 5 skaters. If the skaters can't score then the goalies have to shoot on each other. If the goalies don't score than the head coaches have to shoot. If the head coaches don't score then the teams announcers have to shoot.

I also would reward the winning teams players with 30 chicken, pineapple, and bacon pizzas from Pizza Hut for extra incentive.

Okay guys who is with me?

 

[mandiblesofdoom]

…and with the 14OA pick in the 2025 draft the Rangers pick 5’10” 178 lb LW from the SM-Liga Lias Kakkotsov.
Chris Drury commenting on Lisa, “What he lacks in passing, foot speed and shooting, he more than makes up for in grit”

"His play in the tournament was nothing special, but he blew me away when he jumped out of a pool & then threw a medal. Unique talent, just what we need."

How'd arthur kaliyev look?

invisible

 

[SnowblindNYR]

Defense is actually playing better than last year, in part because they're playing more conservatively. This defense is more than enough, the offense looks bottom 10 at best.

The Oilers literally have the best player in the world, and two of the top-3 forwards in the game. The Rangers have neither.

kakko - hate to see him go, love to watch him borg

He and Kreider had tip-ins that hit the post/crossbar. Otherwise pretty much invisible.

Musta fit in REAL good

And the Rangers have Fox and Shesty while the Oilers defense and goalie have always been an issue.

And what do they have to show for it?

I’m not so sure anymore.

Plus a failed Michigan. And I'm fine with all of Mika's attempts in comparison to Lafreniere, who looks like he's been chugging New England clam chowder before every period.

And what do they have to show for it?

I was rooting for Florida but Edmonton seemed like the better team. Almost pulled off an incredible comeback.
