Post-Game Talk: Rangers @ Jackets

[nevesis]

Hopefully Fox is okay.

Me too. Although if he can’t play tomorrow it would be fitting that the defense lets Henrik down one last time.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

Georgiev is an absolute bum that if he plays might string together a few slightly above average performances. So sick of this guy.

The fact that he's like .500 this season is a direct contradiction to the Rangers being terrible outside of Shesterkin.

 

[17futurecap]

Expected goals 1.82 for Columbus in all situations is a real kick in the nuts

 

[Machinehead]

People who aren't eternal pessimists would say this was a step in the right direction 5v5, but whatever floats your boat

I'll believe it when I see it based on everything I've ever known about this team

 

[Mandar]

Meh. Shit happens. Let’s win for the King tomorrow

 

[Machinehead]

I find it funny that that was the game where we had more shots, more corgis, more xG, and more high danger chances.

Why?

We had the puck like, two entire periods.

 

[Whoot Whoot]

Schneider was rolling - hope Fox is ok

that was the worst passing game ive seen in a while - maybe the ice was shit

 

[tomobson]

I don't know. I want to buy in on the Barron hype but Chytil looks light-years ahead of him right now. After the break that third line needs Goodrow stapled on it. Leave Laf somewhere in the top six please.

 

[CupSeeker]

Got rid of the wrong "bad teammate with a negative attitude" last year. Georgiev sucks and is just a drain on the team. Boot this guy and reward the team. Drury and Gorton are both arrogant pricks that bought out Henrik for this absolute cow crap.

Negative. Let it go. That punk TDA is gone and will stay gone. Has nothing to do with Geo.

 

[McRanger92]

Panarin, Goodrow, Schneider, Lafreniere, Rooney all had noticeably good games. The rest was very meh. Didnt love the effort level until late but its hard to complain about 39 shots on goal in addition to the 3 posts they hit. Tip the cap to Korpisalo.

Say what you want about the turnovers by the D in this game (there were many), but 4 goals on 18 shots against is on Georgiev. He's turned back into a pumpkin.

At a certain point it makes you almost think more critically about the credibility of those metrics

 

[HatTrick Swayze]

Frustrating, but on the whole actually a pretty good effort. Except Geo reverting back to his old ways...just awful.

Really hope Fox isn't out long term.

 

[Shesterkybomb]

I don't know. I want to buy in on the Barron hype but Chytil looks light-years ahead of him right now. After the break that third line needs Goodrow stapled on it. Leave Laf somewhere in the top six please.

Chytil and Gauthier not being on the 3rd line is why Laf looked better all game and subsequently why he was moved up.

I would simply fill my roster up with Julien Gauthiers

 

[HatTrick Swayze]

Why?

We had the puck like, two entire periods.

Also confused. Thought the metrics really told the story, which is that the Rangers played well and Geo was horrific.

 

[CupSeeker]

Better team overall, but could solve Korpi and our D/Geo had too many brainfarts.
Glad GG put Laf back on the top line, not leave him there for a few games...
Really liking Schneider's game, looks pretty much like a vet already.

Schneider, Panarin and Goodrow for my 3 stars

Goodrow is a big part of the reason we lost. If he had more skill, he would have scored 4. Panarin and Fox gave him gimmies and he didn't bury the puck. Still love him but he's not a star of this game.

 

[Machinehead]

It makes me think people are led through the nose by wins and losses which are a coin toss in a one-game sample.

 

[Glen Sathers Cigar]

Georgiev putting in a vintage performance to remind everyone that the Rangers bought out Henrik freaking Lundqvist because they didn't want to lose him. He filled in admirably while Shesty was hurt but I still can't wait for this guy to be gone. His biggest issue is between his ears, he's a mental midget.

Just hope Fox is alright.

 

[mrmovies779]

Korpisalo stole that for them.Laf, Gauthier looked good.Hajek and Schneider looked very good together

 

[Whoot Whoot]

Yeh Rooney's feet were on fire - good stuff from him

 

[Machinehead]

Also confused. Thought the metrics really told the story, which is that the Rangers played well and Geo was horrific.

Then again, folks were shocked the metrics were bad against Arizona.

The analytics don't measure DidWeWin?/60

 

[CupSeeker]

Yeh Rooney's feet were on fire - good stuff from him

Agree on Rooney. One of his better games.

 

[MetalJaws]

I wonder how much longer Georgiev will be here. God I hope Drury figured this out.

 

[will1066]

Schneider was really good. I thought Laf played well too.

Georgiev was not good at all. I know he’s the backup, but he has to make a save.

Hopefully Fox is okay.

The Rangers have to make a move for a Top 6 RW. I can’t stand seeing Hunt getting major minutes, Gauthier can’t score to save his life, and Reaves is what he is.

"Got banged up a bit. He's fine. Nothing serious. Day to day." --upcoming Gerard Gallant at his press conference

 

[SnowblindNYR]

Honestly, I'll be unusually positive today. This is really the first loss in regulation that the Rangers have had to a bad team. It came against a team that got historically embarrassed last night and we had our awful backup in net, they had their awful backup who played out of his mind and got 4 posts in his favor. Not happy but I think I'll survive.
