Post-Game Talk: Pittsburgh Penguins at New York Rangers - October 17, 2017

[Mike in Houston]

This should definitely get consideration for the Trojan ENZ Boner of the Week award.

 

[NYRFANMANI]

Am I crazy, or was AV clearly puking on the bench right before OT?

I thought he choked on his gum. I laughed.

Otherwise it was great reading the GDT.

 

[Ori]

What was Henrik doing - it must be Staal, right, RIGHT?
It can`t be our Allstar Ryan Mc, lol.

 

[Ori]

I thought he choked on his gum. I laughed.

yeah, it could be naughty if it was one of his candy - I thought he was suffocated. ))

 

[Ori]

Anyway we are married in bad and good days - now there are some rough days in Ranger Town as long we keep a couple of players we can get a winning streak going!

 

[Ori]

Rangers are just not a good hockey team. Pens didn't even show up to play today and they managed to find a way to win. This team won't make the playoffs.

Management needs to decide whether they are serious about rebuilding.

At least we denied Crosby in 2014 - how much the Pens fans complained and moaned at that time - coach was fired among other things.

We’re the last team to eliminate them......so there’s that we can at least hang our hats on

 

[Ori]

I still have my 2014 cup & t-shirt eastern champs
But Darryl S. out coached us - if you can`t beat them you need to hire him right to compete for next cup?

I`ve notion my table prediction is accurate unfortunately, but if we are lucky in the lottery and Lias & Chytil ready next year - we will be a great team!

 

[Gardner McKay]

He's had a great season so far with one bad play.

Machinehead, please. Don't let facts get in the way of anything. McDonagh has been bad this year. Y? Cuz people say so.

 

[Ori]

Yeah Ryan Mc. is merely a shadow of himself this season - he will be stronger in the next couple of games for sure.

 

[RGY]

Lol mcdonagh...lol.

 

[Kaapodonna]

6 give aways for Mac... Ouch. This one was not on AV. I thought they played well for the most part.

 

[Kovalev27]

From 2013 to Present: Henrik Lundqvist has saved 54.27 goals above average. That is second best. Crawford No. 1 with 56.65.

Facts are fun.

Was that Hank's best game ever? Eh, probably not one he tells his grandkids about.

But on that tying goal? Can't really blame him. Goaltending is about seeing and reacting. If you get beat from behind, you never saw it and you can't react.

It's a fluke that stays out 99 times out of 100.

This is fundamentally false and any goalie with any legit training will tell u the same. The tying goal is 100 % on him. And if it were just bad luck it wouldn’t happen to him as often as it does.

Folks the team isn’t coming in not prepared to play. Our small old goaltender getting beat clean one or two times a game as soon as the puck drops is. Playing from behind every night it’s laughable.

Hank isn’t even an average nhl goaltender anymore.

 

[Ori]

In theory Buch should get top 9 role next game if AV math is accurate - he scored on PP - let the kid PLAY, AV!!!

 

[Larrybiv]

Am I crazy, or was AV clearly puking on the bench right before OT?

He was choking on his post game gum. Knew there would be tough questions to answer.

How were the Rangers able to snatch defeat from the hands of victory?
Why was Shatty even on the ice the last minute of play? Is he really one of our best defensive defenseman?

 

[Ori]

Zucc has been slow by the way - his 4 pts. at Toronto was just a fluke. Another slow start as I expected. He had barely 1 assist last game - maybe he will start to produce next game, still very early in the season though. He is not playing well with little confidence in his own skills.

 

[Siddi]

Waiting to see how the Henrik defenders spin the tying goal.

I have already stated in the game thread that it was inexcusable. Sorry to shatter whatever view you had of us Hank "fanboys".

 

[Mamas Mustard]

I'm gonna play nhl18, maybe we can win some games there..

The team sucks virtually too. At least on paper

 

[Siddi]

Why wouldn't I be?. Looks like train wreck so far to me

Well between yout username and the absurd things you have posted are you really surprised?

 

[Siddi]

So with this loss, what are the new chances of making the playoffs?

Well, we wont win the october cup thats for sure.

 

[will1066]

McDonagh + Rongo = McDongo?

We can all agree that Smith is playing even worse than McDongo and even Staal at this junction? He is unwatchable when he is on the ice.

 

[Dr. Ogrodnick]

I have already stated in the game thread that it was inexcusable. Sorry to shatter whatever view you had of us Hank "fanboys".

Good for you. Usually we get comments like "that was a dynamite no look backhand snipe from behind the goal line that no goalie would have stopped"

 

[Siddi]

Unless its a Lundqvist jersey. I would be cool with that.

I wish I was as cool as you.

 

[Siddi]

Screw corsi and expected goals!

Also,some website says we're gonna miss the playoffs because we're 1-5-1 lol much insight.

I wonder if the same site has Vegas, Devils and Avs as contenders

 

[Kaapo Cabana]

We lose in very spectacular ways
