Post-Game Talk: Rangers @ flyers

[Kords]

Lundqvist plays lights out on Sunday. Book it

I already have anxiety about it. Lord help this fanbase if he has a bad game.

 

[aufheben]

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

And if the NHL had a real points system.

 

[Irishguy42]

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

I fully expect the following to happen on Sunday:

 

[Oscar Lindberg]

Hopefuly Quinn doesn’t lose his mind with the new line combos.

This is a given with Quinn

 

[PuckLuck3043]

Kreider loss is huge but I thought this team was going to be in trouble when they lost Mika for 13 games. They actually played well during that span so I'm hoping we can repeat that.

 

[Anthony5967]

We caught a break and didn’t. Canes lost in regulation and could’ve put a hurting on us with a win tonight, and Kreider is done. The latter is a killer. I’ll chalk this up to an emotional week of hockey, exhausting third last night, and a 3am arrival in philly. We’re going to **** the motha****** **** out of these Philly Phuccs Sunday. Ps- I’m so tired of Kevin ****** Hayes. Trouba, can you line him up Sunday, please?

 

[Kords]

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

If they don't plan on extending him, he can hold it down until Fox gets a little more seasoned. Been saying it for awhile, he has the potential to be the perfect Captain.

 

[Glen Sathers Cigar]

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

Again, I'm not talking about this in the context of the rebuild. I'm looking at the team being 2 points out of a playoff spot and trying to get in. From that perspective, losing Kreider is a significant blow. I'm not whining, I don't think this loss was embarrassing. I'm just saying losing Kreider sucks for a team that is currently trying to make a playoff spot. I'm also not saying missing the playoffs will be the end of the world or anything so you don't need to keep bringing up the rebuild and that they'll be fine long term, I know that.

Being in the Blueshirts Bar after a loss just angers me more

 

[DelZottoHitTheNetJK]

Not even mad about losing the second half of a back to back against a good team on the the road when the rest of the division lost

 

[May Rih]

Well that sucked.

Just poor execution all game in the D and neutral zone. Too many turnovers - some credit goes to Philly's forecheck, but most were unforced errors.

Good games from a few guys (Panarin, Fast, Georgie, Trouba), some bad games from a lot more - Staal, Smith, Chytil, Strome and Buch were notables.

Let's hope they're pissed off on Sunday and get one back.

 

[archanfelnsx]

At least Carolina and Columbus lose tonight so no ground lost. They are simply going to plug McKegg into the lineup on Sunday so there won’t be Kravtsov just yet.

Gauthier-Zibanejad-Kakko
Panarin-Strome-Fast
DiGuiseppe-Chytil-Buchnevich
Lemieux-McKegg-Howden

D stays the same

The King

 

[CasusBelli]

No Kreider and no Igor means no playoffs. Whoops. And of course Giroux with a great game. Hate that toothless prick.

Maybe try VK for PDG — just for kicks?

 

[CasusBelli]

Georgiev did the best he could
Fast always tries
The rest of the team had (understandably) no legs

Never liked Giroux but its Voracek who always turns into Gretzky against us. Gritty lookin ass.

no Panarin means no playoffs. Georgiev has been fine.

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

This game was predictable.

This group was worked so damn hard, they deserve better than to have to play alongside Staal game in and game out. Hes a massive problem.

 

[Whoot Whoot]

Oh well we were due for a stinker - sucks about CK20.

Philly played well also - it wasn't like we lost that on our own - they made some good plays and got some saves.

 

[CasusBelli]

no Panarin means no playoffs. Georgiev has been fine.

You misunderestimate the Kreids.

 

[GAGLine]

We were bound to lose one eventually. With Carolina and Columbus both losing, we're still good. Gotta win on Sunday though.

Him and Voracek, two orange humanoids.

 

[WojtekWolski86]

I hope Gauthier replaces Kreider on PP1. We could use another RH shot on that unit.

 

[Machinehead]

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

What captain in the NHL today has edge and intensity?

The paint on my wall has more personality than Toews or Crosby.

It’s ok to say hemorrhoids. They are what they are.
