Post-Game Talk: pgt

Hahahaah no. 94’ had a good core and added to it. Like what we did this year. They just didn’t have this many people bitching and whinnying about it back then.

Didn't they trade their stars for grinders? It was much closer to what they did last year (minus the trading of stars). Last year Copp and Vatrano paid immediate dividends and everyone is telling us first ballot Hall of Famer Kane gets a pass when he does nothing.

Imagine what the post would have been like during the Devils series ..........

The overreactions here are comical. They are playing their 4th game in 6 nights, all of them with 11 forwards and 5 defensemen (one of them with effectively 4 defensemen). Multiple guys are playing banged up, Fox and Trouba played 27 mins + two nights in a row. Oh, and their #2 and #3 defensemen are both not in the lineup. Ben f***ing Harpur was relied on for 20+ mins two nights in a row.

Let's calm the f*** down

I’d want to see Tarasenko and Kane swapped. Let Kane and Panarin be the facilitators

Trochek and Kreider aren't good enough finishers for Kane. Let him set Zib up and tell Lafreniere to just go to the net and simplify his game.

What's the difference between Ben Harpur and Niko Mikkola besides Sam butchering Mikkola's name? They play exactly the same way: like big oafs.

I actually wish Mikkola stuck to playing like an oaf.

His issues come to the forefront when he’s trying to be Adam Fox.

 

[Machinehead]

Panarin was a net positive. If someone told me before the game that 88 was Jake Leschyshyn I'd believe them.

That was 13. Your contacts must have popped out.

 

[PuckLuck3043]

If f***ing nuts how so many don't understand this.

Stunning actually.

 

[The Gloaming]

I know he puts himself into vulnerable positions sometimes, but this one was just so unlucky. Watson just went full gorilla on him when he wasn't even eligible to be hit.

Ofc he gets a pass. How about you go work for a company after devoting your life to a success company from the ground up for 10+ years. Wouldn’t you have some adjustment?

Stop with the "dynamic east to west passing"

Im gonna puke

It's just baffling to me that Mikkola turned into Patrik Nemeth as soon as he put a Rangers jersey on. Guy was a rock in STL.

 

[HonestGabe]

Panarin and Kane were our only decent line 5v5

Not sure what people were watching asking to break them up. Panarin-Trocheck-Kane shouldn't be touched.

I'd be in favor of switching Kakko and Tarasenko to be honest to give Laf and Chytil a shoot first player on that line

 

[The Gloaming]

Always the same doomers here after losses.

We are missing 2 top 4 defensemen. We will be fine.

I hope they put someone on LTIR and go get another defenseman though.

 

[DanielBrassard]

Remember when everything Chytil touched went into the back of the net? 0 goals in 11 games. Yep 0.

Keeping that AAV down

 

[Glen Sathers Cigar]

Pittsburgh is still in play to catch us. We’re 10 points up on them but that’s a little misleading. They have two games in hand on us AND we play them three times in the rest of the season. If they win the games in hand and sweep us we’re tied.

We need to get our D back.

**edit**
Pittsburgh won tonight so it’s one game in hand and 8 points back with 3 head to head games left.

 

[will1066]

Rangers load up on Ferraris and Lamborghinis

Then get outclassed by Pinto

Details at 11

 

[fm]

Laf 3-1 in his last 10 and 1-0 in his last 5
KK 2-2 in 10, 1-1 in 5
Chytil 04- in 10, 0-2 in 5

When the Kids go quiet, they go submarine quiet...

Well ya that’s no power play time for you

 

[Machinehead]

Dude Vatrano sucks.

I'm going to say that every time somebody mentions Vatrano.

He actually is every bad thing I said about Patrick Kane.

 

[LiveLongandProspal]

Ben Harpur is DEATHLY afraid of pinching in. I mean he will always err on the side of caution. There could be a puck a foot away from him and he'll skate back into his own end.

 

[irishlaxburger2]

It’s not even dynamic many times. It’s forcing it to a player who many times isn’t even in a dangerous scoring position. It’s cross ice passes for the sake of cross ice passes.

If you’re going to attempt them, at least ensure they’re going to lead to a scoring opp assuming they connect.

 

[Kords]

Harpur is a stationary traffic cone and Mikkola is all over the ice but also a traffic cone. Oh, also one that takes about a penalty a game.

 

[PuckLuck3043]

The team won 2 of 3 games playing 11/4 or 11/5. Some understand that this is a good result and then some don't.

Holy shit its one game. There still like 20 left in the regular season plus playoffs.

He's very slow. He can't take the risk

Rangers curse, my boy. You suck while here, but before and after, you do much better.
