GDT: RANGERS @ Panthers | 7:00PM EST

[NYR]

I'm struggling with this anology because running a marathon and playing hockey are so different
But playing 24 mins a night isn't beyond a well conditioned athlete, and it appears Panarin understands how to pace himself shift to shift so he's not always running at 100%. The team doesn't play again until Wednesday so there's plenty of recovery time.

In other words.. If you're going balls out for 2 mins at a time (no such thing as pacing yourself unless you want to give up goals) , how are you going to have any energy toward the latter part of the game?
They're athletes not super heroes

 

[Raspewtin]

nice shift by McKegg

 

[bbny]

McKegg has had a very strong game. Nice feed to Howden in the slot

 

[Richard Banger]

Jesus Howden sucks. Freaking one timer in the slot and you shoot it in the goalie.

 

[Fitzy]

One of Howden and Andersson will go down when Zib returns but it should really be both of them.

 

[Glen Sathers Cigar]

Howden and Andersson both stink. Difference is that one of them is being treated like he stinks and the other isn’t. Why not swap them and see if it can jump start both of them? I don’t understand why they won’t at least try it. For a period even.

 

[Embryo]

So close....damn these Panthers - Rangers games make for some good hockey. If we were 100% healthy and didn't take penalties we are the superior team easily, though.

Panarin is most definitely a super hero

 

[Mandar]

McKegg has had a very strong game. Nice feed to Howden in the slot

you know who taught him how to do that? That's right...it was Panarin…...

 

[Kovalev27]

It won’t be Howden. This Howden hate has kind of taken off here it’s silly.

I will say next tim anyone tells me again that Lias is the one stuck with McKegg instead of vice versa I will laugh

Of course you can pace yourself, especially when you gain and control the puck in the O zone.
But think about it; a hockey period goes for approx 35 mins. If Panarin plays 8 mins a period (24 min game) his work rest ratio is somewhere around 1:4. He then gets a full 18 minute rest after that. That's not unsustainable.

 

[Richard Banger]

Oh my God fast you are the worst offensive player in our top 9

 

[Glen Sathers Cigar]

How many wide open nets vs Florida is Fast going to miss? Between this game and last time we played them he’s missed like 5 wide open nets from less than 3 feet out.

 

[Kovalev27]

How many more points would Panarin have if he didn’t have Fast out there hacking and whacking away aimlessly

 

[Jaromir Jagr]

It won’t be Howden. This Howden hate has kind of taken off here it’s silly.

I will say next tim anyone tells me again that Lias is the one stuck with McKegg instead of vice versa I will laugh

Why is it silly? He sucks.

 

[Chaels Arms]

Fast was reading a bernmeister trade proposal on the bench

 

[NYRangers16]

Oh my God fast you are the worst offensive player in our top 9

Puck was bouncing... but I do think he needs to be on our 3rd line.

 

[Shesterkybomb]

The fast play was a bouncing puck, relax

 

[NYR]

Panarin is most definitely a super hero

He is right now but I doubt you'll be claiming the same thing at the 50 game mark

 

[NYRangers16]

No chance.

 

[Richard Banger]

Hank has slowed down so much.

 

[DrMom9900]

This first line is f***in awesome

 

[Jaromir Jagr]

Trouba looks off. I think he's still not well.

 

[NYR]

Of course you can pace yourself, especially when you gain and control the puck in the O zone.

I'll agree to disagree.
There's a reason why the best coaches and most successful teams play short tight shifts.

Your perfect example is Kovalev and that SC winning team

 

[Kovalev27]

Like I said we’d need at least 5 tonight to cover for Hank. Another bad one and he knows it. Thought he had it sealed
