Post-Game Talk: Rangers at Canadiens 11-16-2013

[JESSEWENEEDTOCOOK]

3 stars:

1. Kreider - just all over the place, creating so much. Price robbed him 3 times.
2. Talbot - so calm and cool in net. The team played near perfect defensive hockey in front of him, but he came up when they needed him to. Now 8 goals allowed in 5 games. Impressive.
3. Falk - throwing him a bone, this could have been Callahan or Richards. Very pleased with his game tonight, he was sound in his own end, made some nice plays to keep the forecheck/cycle alive a few times, and was nasty in front of the net. Keep this guy in the lineup, please.

Someone go buy Cameron Talbot a steak dinner.

You do it.

 

[Net Front Presence]

I really can't believe that happened.

 

[member 116805]

see now ive got to start disliking Jagr too. ********..

 

[JohnC]

Talbot for Calder

 

[BarbaraAlphanse]

The announcing corps was exponentially more prepared and mistake averse without Sam there!

 

[member 116805]

Oui oui *****es!

 

[Carlos Ranger]

shutting out the habs in MTL? ?

 

[lJuicel]

You do it.

Oh I will, but I'll never think about calling him in the morning.

 

[haveandare]

Interesting comparison. If Cam keeps it up, there's gonna be some goalie controversy.

Having a controversy where one of the goalies is Lundqvist is probably the best possible problem a team could have.

 

[Thirty One]

Talbot for Calder

Is he eligible? What's the age restrictions?

 

[NYR Viper]

Falk played well with his minutes tonight. Physical, in your face, took no **** and cleared the crease. I like em

 

[GFiP*]

Keep mdz away pls

 

[Anthony Eclair]

Keep mdz away pls

Mdz for Zibanejad pls

 

[Kakko]

Is he eligible? What's the age restrictions?

Nope

 

[BarbaraAlphanse]

Mdz for Zibanejad pls

Throw in Brassard and they might bite.

 

[aemoreira1981]

So Lundqvist can actually be fresh for the playoffs now. Cam Talbot could easily play 25 games or so this season and relieve Lundqvist from time to time. This was by far Talbot's biggest test so far.

 

[Anthony Eclair]

Throw in Brassard and they might bite.

How about a 2nd?

 

[trilobyte]

Someone should carbon date Markov and find out how old he is

 

[The Gloaming]

When I hear that a backup is playing, now I'm not dreading the game.

Cam for Prez.

 

[Nico Cauzuki]

gg guys my 3 stars would be

1-Kreider ( didnt score but was everywhere on the ice creating chances,hitting etc.. )

2- Price ( another solid night for Carey but like always the offense cant score )

3- Talbot ( great game for the rookie,tbh had no clue who he was wen i saw the starting line up and called AV crazy for not starting Henrik against us but worked out great and Talbot was solid in net )

i know the rangers are normally horrible at the bell center but yall played great tonight,could of easily finished 3/4-0 if it wasnt for Price

 

[mrhockey193195]

Stralman was spectacular.

 

[Anthony Eclair]

So Lundqvist can actually be fresh for the playoffs now. Cam Talbot could easily play 25 games or so this season and relieve Lundqvist from time to time. This was by far Talbot's biggest test so far.

His presence is essential, you raise a great point. Our biggest problem with the playoffs were our crazy March and April schedule and that Lundqvist got extremely tired in the postseason. With Talbot, it could definitely take some pressure off his back.

 

[trilobyte]

Callahan is showing some finesse lately. He had another nice deflection a game or two ago, forget which.

 

[RangerBlues]

all of canada atm

Brilliant!
