Post-Game Talk: Prey

[NCRanger]

What was up with Sam and Joe talking about Nashville rebuild for the last 8 minutes of the game.

Unlike 80% of the other broadcast teams in the league, the MSG broadcast doesn’t disparage other teams.

 

[hackeyman]

Missed every goal of the game.

That's okay, we just need you for the Goaltender commentary .

 

[JRinNYC]

My 4th consecutive night at MSG has come to an end!! 6 out 8 nights at MSG. Tue: WSH vs NYR - win; Thu: PIT vs NYR - win; Fri Muse with Evanescence opening; Sat: PIT vs NYR - win; Sun: NSH vs NYR - win; Tue: CAR vs NYR - hope they win.

And my 601st hockey game watching the New York Rangers. LGR!!

Fantastic game by Jaroslav Halak. Glad to see he got rewarded with a shutout.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

Anyway, this team wasn't going to win every game like the last two but with the performance like they had the last two is it really crazy to think that some of us thought they were underachieving when they barely scored 2 against Buffalo. I hope this is the beginning of something special.

 

[Kaapo Cabana]

I know the flash is there but this team is playing much smarter in the neutral zone than they were 2 weeks ago or son.

very true.

i will freely admit I was very worried about our play around the trade deadline. Logic dictated that they would improve but being a ranger fan my entire life brings on the pessimism.

These last 2 games have been so fun

 

[RangerLifer]

Just gotta stay healthy. Don't think it really matters how they're playing the rest of the season. Can't help but remember last year being concerned with the Kid line being total trash late last year only to end up being our best line in the playoffs.

The playoffs are just a different game.

Exactly. I'm not worried about them one bit.

 

[McRanger92]

Halak is now 26th all time in shutouts ahead of Tukka Rask that’s wild

He’s a great OGWAC candidate for us

 

[RangerLifer]

They can't help themselves.

 

[Machinehead]

Anyway, this team wasn't going to win every game like the last two

SMH at this negativity

 

[Circus86]

Halak has actually been a solid backup after some struggles early in the season. I would give him a one year extension.

 

[LeetchisGod]

I’ll take us over anyone in a 7 game series. More playoff games against the Canes this week. Metro Division is within reach with a couple wins. Bring it on.

Not the Bruins. That team has toyed with us this season.

I know the flash is there but this team is playing much smarter in the neutral zone than they were 2 weeks ago or son.

It starts with the net front defense. I think they're realizing that when you can get the puck back after your goalie makes the save, you're simply in a better position to start your offense with all your players tight to each other. And the smarter neutral zone play is created from that, when they move up as a unit of 5.

 

[bl02]

all this while keeping the majority of our prospects

Were in really good shape going forward

and the better of the first rounders this year with hopefully that possibly being around 22/23 overall

 

[Ranger Wolf]

Yes. Most unanswered goals the Rangers have scored in 50+ years.

The most since right before I was born. That’s just nuts.

 

[PuckLuck3043]

Unlike 80% of the other broadcast teams in the league, the MSG broadcast doesn’t disparage other teams.

It's the complete opposite. They make every team sound like the 84 Oilers.

 

[Killem Dafoe]

I missed this game. So...you know...f*** me.

 

[Bob Richards]

Unlike 80% of the other broadcast teams in the league, the MSG broadcast doesn’t disparage other teams.

Won't lie tho, It'd be pretty funny to hear that wonderful Sam Rosen voice drop some heaters like that.

Sam: Oh.....Joe.....I don't know. The Predators look dreadful tonight. John Hynes should get stuffed into a barrel and rolled down a hill.

Joe: They're just not good Sam.

Sam: Not at all.

 

[McRanger92]

Not the Bruins. That team has toyed with us this season.

Big whoop. Canes owned us in the regular season last year

 

[will1066]

What team comes away from a back to back not giving up a goal and scoring more than a dozen?

Not even Team Canada playing Germany and Switzerland in group action.

 

[rangerlp]

Honestly, I didn't not have Rangers winning 7-0 on my bingo card...

 

[Glen Sathers Cigar]

Not the Bruins. That team has toyed with us this season.

Boston is the best team in the league but they haven't even seen this version of the Rangers this season. Closest was the last time we played them but that was just Kane's second game with us and we were only dressing 5 D that game and no K'Andre.

 

[Filip Chytil]

Filip Chytil, with stick in hand,
Skates onto the ice, a fearless man.
The game is on, the puck in sight,
He'll do what it takes to win tonight.

He flies down the rink, past one, two, three,
His speed and skill are plain to see.
He fakes out the goalie, shoots and scores,
The crowd erupts, their cheers encore.

For Chytil's goal, his twentieth this year,
Is something to celebrate, something to cheer.
The Rangers dominate, 7-0 the score,
The Predators left with nothing more.

Chytil's name will be remembered,
For his goal that crushed the Predators.
A shining star on the Rangers' team,
A player that fans will forever dream.

So let us raise a glass and cheer,
For Filip Chytil, the hero of the year.
May he continue to light up the ice,
And lead the Rangers to more victories nice.

 

[hackeyman]

Can't help but remember last year being concerned with the Kid line being total trash late last year only to end up being our best line in the playoffs.

It's interesting how myths get started. They were 7th,8th, and 11th in team scoring . Mika scored more points than the three of them combined.

 

[Hunter Gathers]

What a blast of a time. I went to the game with a client and a coworker and we were all just having a blast. My coworker's first game, too! She's not a big sports person but had an absolute BLAST. May have found a new Rangers fan!

So much fun. Have never been to a game that has ended up like this.

The last insane game I went to was the game that Orr put Fedoruk on a stretcher. And that wasn't a crazy score, but just a wild game for that event and all.

13 goals in the last 2 games. Let's hope they can keep this up! Or at least some semblance of it, LOL!

Oh, yeah. Now I am going to smoke a ton of weed and relax. Wish it was Saturday and not Sunday!
