Post-Game Talk: Rangers @ Predators -- 10/21/21

[HockeyBasedNYC]

Blais will win the McDonald award. Called it before the season. It’s only a matter of time

 

[LiveLongandProspal]

Igor and Foxy are carrying this team to wins

Saros feeling the sorrows right now

 

[FIRE DRURY]

Honestly, if Blais is healthy I think the return isn't that bad and I don't say that lightly. I was really upset about the Buch trade.

I think a lot of us are feeling the same way. Especially if that 2nd round pick becomes something useful.

Blais, Goodrow, Hunt and Reaves are everything this team was missing last year.

 

[will1066]

Laf and Blais are gonna be best buds

 

[LiveLongandProspal]

Saros feeling the sorrows right now

Hell, I feel bad for him

Healthy and remain cheaper

 

[CasusBelli]

This is deep

Thanks. Been reading Wittgenstein recently.

 

[Glen Sathers Cigar]

Kudos to Goodrow on that EN sequence. He was very strong in the D zone and up through the NZ applying pressure. Strong stuff for him there to get his first goal as a Ranger.

 

[AWall THE CLAW]

mmmmm..... yes.

[HockeyBasedNYC]

The French connection.

Keep them together

 

[Rongomania]

What a game man.

Nash's PK was fantastic.

Shesty 5 ga in regulation in four games.

laf 2 GWG's in 5 games.

 

[THE BIG WHISTLE]

This is deep

I actually got headache after reading that

 

[Machinehead]

mmmmm..... yes.

LMAO

 

[DialUp]

French Chytil is the new American Buchnevich

 

[SnowblindNYR]

I didn't see the Montreal game, but the last two third periods were something we've been missing under Quinn. Really tightened up. But I also have to say as much as I love Igor, last year he didn't shut it down in the third period either, so it wasn't all on Quinn or the team defense.

 

[Levitate]

This team has serious puck management and support issues in the defensive zone

That SHOULD be coachable and something they can improve upon, but damn do they need to figure it out before they're gonna get anywhere

 

[HockeyBasedNYC]

There is no reason that Georgiev should see the ice for the foreseeable future , you ride Igor he is 25 he can handle the load ..

plenty of time between games.

Going into Canada it was 6 in 14 nights. No reason why Igor shouldn’t start the next 3

First time I read this I went back to 2015

Loved the Laf/Chytil/Blais line.
Our 4th line guys (all 5 of them) busted their asses all game long. f***ing warriors.
The top line seemed disconnected the whole game and still created a ton of chances. If they can get used to each other for a few games? Could be one of the best lines in hockey.
I'm not going to say anything about Shesty until Sunday. That is God's allotted day, after all.

The only two I was really not high on for this game were Panarin and Lundkvist. The former just seems disinterested too often. Not sure what's going on with him, but I'm not seeing the same level of energy or the joy on the ice that we're used to seeing from him. Lundkvist just seems overwhelmed. The game is moving too quickly for him right now. A stretch in Hartford wouldn't be the worst thing in the world for the kid.

 

[THE BIG WHISTLE]

Vally is right. Blais brings freshness here. Because before him, no one tried to go in the middle.

Yeah the only guy driving the net was the Zamboni driver

 

[Levitate]

Also glad Chytil's line took advantage of Nashville focusing on the Zibanejad line. they needed a breakout game

 

[smoneil]

We've had "American Buch." In the interests of line cohesion, perhaps we need Quebecois Chytil? New 2nd line: Alexis LaFreniere--Philipe Chytois--Sammy Blais. The French Connection.

 

[nyr2k2]

I'd like to see Jones get a look while Lundkvist has a spell in Hartford.
