HF Habs: Out of Town Thread: 2024 Playoff Edition

[sheed36]

Do these guys realize I have to work tomorrow??

Apparently yes.

 

[Redux91]

Scored 50 doing that this year
Wasn't missing that one lol

 

[The Real Timo]

Reinhart was a flame once too, no?

 

[Whitesnake]

So grateful for my sleep schedule....

 

[Rapala]

Damn that didn't take long I barely had a chance to get tuned in.

Terrible play by Zib and an awful line change there. Florida deserved that.

Zibanijad was pretty bad in this one he looked pedestrian more often than not.

 

[Redux91]

What a touch pass by Barkov, instead of rushing it and risking Reinhart fumbling

For me The Panthers looks like the superior team. It's a tight series but except for Game 2 I feel Florida was the better team.

Love this matchup. Game 5 will be fun.

Zibeejad was crap. Naturally the only time you want Kreider to do something he plays like shit.

His father Paul was. Sam was drafted by the Sabres and traded to Florida. You may be thinking of Sam Bennett instead maybe?

No, Buffalo Sabres.

 

[BozoTheClown]

Not sure why Trouba, while on the PK, goes all the way mid zone to check Tkachuk when the puck just went from D to D, and 2 of your forwards checked them leaving one dmen with 2 players. One of the 2 players left is a 57 goals scorer.

I know hockey media won't get on him, at least not harshly, because he's a relatively big centre playing in the playoffs, but that might be one of the worst performances I've seen by a 1C in my life. If it turns out he were injured, it still wouldn't explain how every puck touch seemed to have a negative effect.

Sam's brother, Max was. He was a fairly touted prospect, too I believe.

Shesterkin’s play has kept this a close series, otherwise Fla might’ve already swept IMO

Shesterkin has taken over for Vasilevsky as best G

Griffin was a 4th overall pick that didn't pan out.

I had this realization earlier today. This series hasn't been as close as the scores/2-2 would have you believe. I really thought the Rangers skaters were better than this.

My productivity at work has decreased a lot because of these 8 and 8:30 PM starts , Oh well

So what is the crowd to Kreider — a convenient recipient of garbage?

Imagine all the places that thing could have landed, including someone’s $30 nacho plate. Watch it go on sale, online.

There could always be injuries at play, but observing this series has revealed the following mini points:

1. Trocheck and Lafreniere can raise their games and have been great
2. Panarin is not nearly as visible when the pace quickens
3. Kreider is dependent on linemates to be productive...
4. ...and Mika has been horrendous enough to prevent Kreider production from happening, a complete disaster

However, the largest point I've observed this far: for all the talk about having size on defense, Rangers often get hemmed in because of their inability to handle the puck at even average levels. Fox is hurt, that is clear, and he's the only guy who has poise with the puck. Others panic when it's on their sticks.

He apparently didn't according to 32 thoughts.

Glove is on it followed by Kreider seen throwing something into the crowd. Bizarre.
