Post-Game Talk: PS #5 - 09/26/18 | islanders @ RANGERS | 7:00 - MSG

Hank got scored on in the first 5 mins of a game? Alert the media there’s a shocker.

 

[haohmaru]

I really hope this coach has the stones to put Staal where he belongs - in the press box.

 

[Oscar Lindberg]

is there a website for live corsi? I remember one from last season.

Naturalstattrick is good

 

[Tob]

Naturalstattrick is good

thank you! exactly what I was looking for. Hockeystats.ca is over it looks like.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

Barzal is noticeable every shift. I'm really jealous.

 

[Machinehead]

McQuaid lol

 

[Filthy Dangles]

good breakout by fish...once barzal gets wound up ike that a grade a scoring chance is gonna commence

 

[nevesis]

Barzal is noticeable every shift. I'm really jealous.

He’s an unreal, underrated talent. Going to tear the league up (and us) this season.

 

[effen]

People are crapping on them for talent reasons, but a Trotz team is gonna be on proper position most of the time, and they all look fairly big and fast.

If they structure holds, they'll look good. Whether they'll be good or not is another question.

To follow up, looks like they play 1-1-3 in the neutral zone to slow, and the wingers have orders to charge the points if the attacking team can retrieve the puck and get it back to the D.

If they can break it up on the first attempt in each facet (neutral zone, initial dump in, back pass) they'll look really strong and frustrating. If you can weather it and maintain control they'll tire quickly and spend shift after shift in their own zone "pressuring" but not really getting the puck out and eventually break down.

Strong but brittle. Kinda the opposite of the Rangers gumby style defense of years past.

Barzal could honestly be better than Matthews.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

He’s an unreal, underrated talent. Going to tear the league up (and us) this season.

He's unlike any other player in the league the way he skates and stick handles.

 

[FultonReed]

they seem to forget that the right side of the D zone exists

 

[Leonardo87]

Barzal is noticeable every shift. I'm really jealous.

He is just fun to watch, even if he is scoring goals or picking up assists, against you.

 

[Glen Sathers Cigar]

Shattenkirk leaves much to be desired defensively. Not surprising in the least.

I’m pretty worried about fronting the opponent in front of the net being part of the system. That’s what we did under AV and it lead to tons of screened goals and tip goals and stuff.

 

[nyr2k2]

When I hear the name Fritz, I instinctively assume it's Mitch Fritz.

I also remember we briefly had a Pelech in the system. Unless I'm remembering one of the other ones, he was ugly and looked like a brontosaurus or something.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

As bad as our O has been we've had good discipline defensively for the most part.

 

[Glen Sathers Cigar]

Hank got scored on in the first 5 mins of a game? Alert the media there’s a shocker.

Oooo now tell us you don’t think Anderson is a good enough skater for the NHL!

Play the hits!

 

[nevesis]

Hank having a solid period. Team in front of him finally starting to pick it up.

 

[Placid]

Heavy shot by Zib there.

 

[Ghost of jas]

This will be the only line the Rangers can count on nightly.

 

[member 116805]

Good shift. Looks like the zib hay is back btw haha

 

[Machinehead]

From what I've seen so far, Gettinger drives play.

You know who doesn't? Staal.

 

[Tob]

Corsi against

McQuaid 4
Skjei 3
Crawley 1
Pionk 2
Shattenkirk 9
Staal 12

 

[nevesis]

Nice to see Shattenkirk finally playing physical.

 

[Mac n Gs]

Love Shatty dropping Beauvillier
