Mr. Preachy
Aside from Zucc, we didn't really do much in the shootout. Their moves were just...way better.
Not even mad.

Just do that until somebody scores. How long could it last?

I've wanted 4-on-4 for five minutes then 3-on-3 for the next 5 minutes.

Hmm, shitty point. No win for Hank and another useless point to add. Hopefully the Oilers win tonight.

Seems to be the case most shootouts for us. It’s Zucc or nothing.
Zib and Spooner both tried the same move and Luongo stopped both without knowing it because they were weak moves.
As for the actually hockey portion of tonight’s game:
Kevin Hayes is the real deal. He’s been so good lately i think seeing friends get traded really motivated him. Be better or become expendable and get moved.
Spooner-Hayes-Zucc was excellent.
Skjei-TDA looked good from the eye test, not sure about the stats.
Honestly I’m good giving the Panthers the second point, hope they pass the Devils.

Actually, aside from getting an unneeded point, there was a lot to like about that game. Zibanejad is so much better with Kreider, Hayes and Spooner are a perfect fit, Namestnikov and Buchnevich looked pretty good together, and Skjei-DeAngelo were superb as a pairing. And, Zucc maintains the all-important trade value for the draft.

The Rangers tried. Should give them credit for that. Did we need the point? Not really but......
Congrats to Hayes--his first ever 20 goal season. It looks to me like he's become one of our leaders.
Mika also with his 20th goal.
Spooner with a couple more assists.
The defense as crappy as it is sometimes is not making the same kinds of lackadaisical errors we saw in the month + that led up to the trade deadline. Their errors tend to be just from not being that good or that ready to play at the NHL level--not so much from being outworked or being brain dead.

Fun game. I like this group.
Maybe trade Zucc, other than that I stand pat. 5 picks in the top 45.
Fire the coach. Probably stink next year but continue to improve as much as we can. Try some reclamation projects in UFA and see if one sticks. Give Chytil and Andersson ice time and see what they have. Inflate their Quality of Teammates and put them in a position to succeed. Fill holes in the summer of 2019. Plan to play competitive hockey in the 2019-20 season. If not, fine, but be proactive about this thing.

Not much defense played on either side. But I thought the Rangers were better. On the whole.

He's just mad he got scored on. I used to throw my bat after every strikeout.
Over the course of the 65+ minutes he seemed a lot more relaxed. I think he understands what we're embarking on and he seems to want to be involved.

Positives: DeAngelo and Skjei pairing, Zibanejad w/ Kreider is a different player, and Spooner is a heck of a throw in.

Rob O'Gara has lost the new player smell. Now it's just dirty suede car seats and undersized cup holders. You'd think players who have no idea how to move the puck can play better defense.

Hayes has great wrists. He can make most passes he wants to make. Many cannot. He’s also learning how to position himself really well. It really appears to be coalescing for him.

Welcome to the dark side. It's like these past few weeks you've been gradually nudged into seeing the light. Everything you've said there is pretty much what most of us on this side have been saying all along.
