Post-Game Talk: RANGERS @ canadiens

[bobbop]

true, but if we play .700 hockey and the chips fall our way, we're in

Actually if we go 12-7, that equals 98 points. I’d stand with that number.

 

[Bob Richards]

It's become his go-to move when the team is down and struggling. And this is at least the second time it's worked. Love it.

Also, Gauthier on the wing?

I'd say his days on the 4th line are numbered...

f***ing loved that trade.

when the going gets tough, Panarin-Zibanejad the other team to death

 

[Fugazy]

Their SOS from here on out ramps up like a mother f***er.

They've been in "playoff mode" for a few weeks, but the push really starts now.

It’s definitely going to be a big challenge.

 

[GAGLine]

YES!!! St. Louis ties it!!!

 

[nyrage]

Pretty damn cool stuff as every game the rest of the way is going to be like a playoff game and it's awesome experience for all our young guys and even our vets some of whom haven't experienced playoff type games in awhile.

I think I've only missed 2-3 games live at most and if I do, I will watch the game on DVR. I already gave my girlfriend the Rangers schedule for the rest of the season and I told her not to make any plans on those days. She can make whatever plans she wants when the Mets play though.

Fox had the 2nd-highest Game Score of all players (Tatar was 1st) with 2.95, his season average is 0.74.

Btw, the highest Game Score of any player in the NHL this season was Panarin with 7.08 on 01-13-2020, DeAngelo 5th with 6.41 against the Devils.

Yeah but those numbers dont show trends. There's teams falling and teams that are on fire.

The one's I post are weighted by recency. Winning streaks don't necessarily mean teams are playing well anyway. Georgiev stole the last two games.

 

[Leetch3]

mika scoring 30 in only 50 games is insane...thats just shy of a 50 goal pace over 82 games

 

[aufheben]

YES!!! St. Louis ties it!!!

And looking fabulous too in those 90s jerseys.

[Brooklyn Rangers Fan]

Correct, it's between 35-45% depending on the source. I'm not getting comfortable yet, although ultimately this run will be significant for this roster whether they make it or not.

This.

The point you make is exactly why, despite being one of the biggest advocates for the rebuild (something I've been wanting them to do since the late '90s), I loathe the idea of "tanking". As the GM, you make the moves you need to make to build the roster. But everyone else? From the coach down to the backup goaltender, you play to win.

Then, if you don't make the POs, let the chips fall where they may with the lottery.

 

[Leetch3]

how is this guy only a rookie?

 

[TheGortonConspiracy]

Haven’t seen a lot of Gauthier yet... but Quinn had him on with Mika and Panarin tonight. What an endorsement, I have a feeling this kid is going to be a monster for us, potentially even top 6

[NCRanger]

We'll have much more clarity on our playoff situation after these 2 games against Philly. This is a hugely important weekend, potential for an 8 poont swing. If we win both games we're 1 point behind Philly with the same games played.

Take both against Philly, can start thinking about 3rd place if not second.

 

[egelband]

Georgiev sending a big "f*** you" to all the posters here who declared us dead after Shesterkin got hurt.

Montreal fans having a laugh at him after the Tatar goal. I guess they thought it was all over with the two goal lead at home.

 

[Black Aces]

Blues win in OT

Pick up a point on the islanders

 

[Ail]

Blues win!!!

 

[bl02]

Islanders another loser point.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

we would beat boston

f*** those fake tough guy losers

shouldn’t be scared of those p***yes at all

RIP liberal HF censor.

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

Islanders another loser point.

They're having a season similar to the one the Rangers had in 2015-16.

Ride one really hot stretch of games into the playoffs. Get dismantled in round 1.

 

[LOFIN]

The Islanders still managed a point :/

 

[Maximus]

YES!!! St. Louis ties it!!!

YES BLUES WIN IT!!!!

It’s the Rangers version of Crosby-Malkin or for us older folks Mikita-Hull.

To be fair if we get into the playoffs we'd also have one really hot stretch to get in there.

 

[Kovalev27]

Georgiev isn’t going anywhere he’ll be signed
