Post-Game Talk: Rangers @ flyers

[will1066]

Losing Kreider is devastating for this team.

Hopefuly Quinn doesn’t lose his mind with the new line combos. Lemieux should be nowhere near the PP. I don’t care if he’s scrappy in front of the net, the idea that he’s going to replace Kreider is just lunacy. They need to find a way to rework the PP in Kreider’s absence and not try and just plug Lemmy in there, because that ain’t it.

Give Gauthier and Kakko top 6 tries. Don’t start to overplay Howden. I feel like the decisions to try and rework the lines can completely torpedo the team. Make the wrong combinations and now instead of just losing one line now you’ll lose all of them.

I'm done with Kakko for 2019-2020. Not expecting anything of substance from him.

Time for Henrik to turn the clock back to 2014.

Quinn starting Huska in net at the Garden on Sunday

 

[EdJovanovski]

Zibanejad seemed checked out after losing Kreider both on the ice and in that interview. This guy does not strike me as captain material at all, it’s got to be Kreider or Panarin.

 

[thethirdhockeyman91]

Canes are gonna lose!

 

[Shesterkybomb]

I'm hopeful we can add someone other than Mckegg. I dont know if Kravtsov is ready but we need top 9 players not 4th line guys.

 

[Crease]

We've been holding back our organizational secret weapon, deep in the nether realms training for our dire time of need comes. You're time to shine Lias.

It's time to unleash the beast. Come on down Kravtsov.

Just looking at the standings, how the hell does Torts have 14 OT losses?

 

[Allan92]

Lundqvist plays lights out on Sunday. Book it

 

[EdJovanovski]

Carolina & Columbus with regulation losses

it’s not devastating and some fans are losing their minds

my gosh, it’s a rebuild and a team still trying to find their way ( despite these delusions)

 

[Glen Sathers Cigar]

We weren’t going to go 22-0 to end the season a letdown was going to happen. The bigger concern is Kreider missing too much time.

LUCKILY, CBJ lost and Carolina lost so we didn’t lose any ground. They just need to regroup and not let this snowball.

No Panarin

[Shesterkybomb]

Was bread man even in tonight ?

I like Hayes the more I watch him lately but I hate all those years on his contract.

he is exactly what most posters have been saying we need. A selfish shooting player lol

We weren't keeping him and Kreider.

 

[Machinehead]

To be fair, we'd be in the playoffs if we had an average amount of charity points.

 

[Ghost of jas]

Gonna try to get this one in before the thread turns into a tire fire: yes, losing Kreider and Shesty came at the absolute worst time. However, it's still a really good opportunity for the younger players to learn what it takes to play in meaningful, tight games down the stretch. We may fall off a bit over this month, but you can't discount how important these experiences are for the kids. Let's just hope CAR continues to struggle too so we can add two more high picks to an already loaded roster of young talent. They'll still have some fat to trim, but these last 30 games paint a really bright picture for what the future of this team can hold.

Carter Hart's a good goalie. Give the kid credit.

What are you doing, bringing this ray of sunshine into this dark place?

In what world is it not devastating to a team in a playoff race to lose one of their top players?

I’m very clearly not talking about the rebuild or long term.

 

[NYSPORTS]

They had to lose sooner or later.

losing 1 out of 10 is apparently “embarrassing”

 

[Crease]

Every team needs to go through a devastating injury that costs them a playoff spot before they can win the Cup.

have a bowl or sugar and calm down lol. It’s a rebuild, look at the roster

 

[aufheben]

Columbus and Carolina both lost. Playoff odds drop from 44% to 39%. Not the end of the world considering we could have potentially lost 13% tonight instead of 5%.

 

[Kords]

Not saying you are wrong, but Mika always sounds like that on those mid game interviews. I've noticed it as well, just don't think he likes to do them.

 

[Tob]

Quinn needs to sit down and figure out what he really wants to do with Gauthier, Lemieux, Chytil, Kaapo, and Howden. If he keeps staying within his comfort zone with middling decisions and middling results without giving guys with more upside a chance, we're not going to survive this Kreider injury.

 

[Fvital92]

I certainly don’t remember him being a shooting player, I remember him being a stupidly hold on to the puck trying to dangle for way too long until there’s no shooting opportunity player

Basically Kakko now, when he is not invisible on the Ice.

 

[EdJovanovski]

He has a pretty cold personality in general, yet doesn’t have much edge or intensity either. I don’t get where this huge push from the fanbase started and why he’s the de facto captain. I’d choose ADA for captain of course, but Panarin & Kreider would be next in line
