Post-Game Talk: Pingu

[Machinehead]

I shall bestoweth upon Quick an official forgiveness ceremony for 2014.

I'll just be that much madder at Drew Doughty instead.

 

[Kovalev27]

5-1 at home. Only that Nashville stinker otherwise we’ve been very good.

Really looking forward to the bruins game. Will be going to the one here in Boston in December but feels like a 2 horse race right now for top dog in the conference.

 

[Clark Kellogg]

Do you guys like the two defenseman power play with a late lead?

Not me. I doubt they practiced that. Everyone out there needs to know their job. No need for confusion in the waning minutes of the period.

Like if the first unit sucked I’d understand it but they’re dominant. They manage defensive pressure extremely well and I think they let PIT off the hook there. Fox-Gus I think would be fine but that was just a disaster class

 

[huerter]

At least they've been good defensively and a net even, which is allowing us to stay the course.

If they started producing, and nothing else changed, we'd be real dangerous.

How is Mika a net even when he's top 10 in the league in EV GF%, which only increased tonight.

No one is gonna talk about Barkley Goodrow missing from the poll?

 

[Clark Kellogg]

Glad Trouba got a bad game out of his system during a win.

 

[RangerLifer]

Sorry if I said this already but I hope we start Quick in Philly.

 

[HockeyBasedNYC]

I felt Mika was better in this one.

Was skating with more of a purpose = hair flowing in the wind a little more.

First was one of his best periods this season. Had the assist and Jarry made a nice save on a sneaky shot.

He did a lot of great work on the pk too. As the game went on he fell back into defensive shell Mika which is a little understandable but we still need more from him offensively.

 

[inranger94]

I have banned Goodrow from the poll

Why? I was going to vote for Barkley

 

[CLW]

So, who is more important to this team: Offensive wizard Fox, or offensive clod Lindgren? Take Lindgren out and the D looks horrendous. Take Fox out and the points keep coming...

 

[DialUp]

Sorry if I said this already but I hope we start Quick in Philly.

Wouldn't be mad if Quick starts against Boston

 

[HockeyBasedNYC]

Quick reminds me of one of those older ex semi pro goalies that shows up out of nowhere to fill in at a beer league game and nonchalantly shuts the door and pitches an easy shutout, because he’s been there and done that like 12,000 times

 

[HockeyBasedNYC]

Someone please post the deserve to win meter!

Thanks

 

[PuckLuck3043]

Great win and well deserved. We should have been up 3-0 after 2. Both goalies were great. Mika's best game of the year. 5-1-1 without Fox and Chytil. 2-1 during this tough stretch of road games. This team is good.

 

[mas0764]

Still need Kakko to break out like Laf. Still need any other line besides the Breads line to break out. Still need 2 high end centers in our pipeline.

 

[FultonReed]

have a great Thanksgiving, guys

 

[GG96]

I will continue to be annoyed probably for the rest of time that the Rangers play great team D in front of backups since 2005. Valiquette, Biron, Talbot, Raanta, Halak, Quick.

Meanwhile letting Hank and Igor to be magicians when they are starting

 

[BleedBlueNYR]

I love that this team has been winning in every way possible. Need to score 5 goals against the devils? No problem. Hold on for a 1-0 shutout? You got it.

This is me

So the next two are back to back. Which game does Igor get which game does quick get? This is actually a tough calll. You very well may see Quick against Boston at MSG

 

[Gardner McKay]

To try and save a shot with your bare hands... Quick must have the biggest set of balls in the NHL. Dear god that is insane.

 

[Clark Kellogg]

Gotta give Laviolette credit Putting players like Jones and Schneider in critical situations. Makes sense with the team’s cap space. If it works out he’ll know what he has and if not, Drury will know what he needs.

 

[bobbop]

Do you guys like the two defenseman power play with a late lead?

Yes. Smart coaching.
