Watching Chytil turn into a player makes the Lias debaucle so much more tolerable. That's a 12 foot poop hoagie without him.

Loving the young guys. Happy for Hajek. He better stay in the lineup when Trouba comes back. Thought that Howden and Lemieux had good games for a change which is important because Gauthier needs to be given a regular shift to see what he can do. When Bread gets back, our top 9 s/b

Bread Mika Buch
Kreids Strome KK
Laf Fil Gaut

Then I think PDG and Blackwell are the odd men out to start. Then 48, 21 and 17 have to play well or they can easily be scratched.

There were a few shifts in the first period where Kakko basically ended up playing center in the D zone. He was down low stopping the Devils forecheck, while Strome and Kreids were at the wing positions. And Kakko was very effective down there. With his size, strength and stick it was like have a 3rd D man. I don't know if that was purposeful or accidental, but it definitely allows Strome to play more to his strength to make that switch in the D zone. I wonder if they will make that a more purposeful choice going forward.

Kakko and Chytil. Not nessecarily top-3 but really good especially after their long breaks.
Georgiev is not Igor, but he did some good stuff too, and deserves a few points in the poll.
 
I'm ok with Georgi's game. He makes mistakes. If he didn't he would be a starter and not a backup.

They basically are avoiding having Kakko tied up on the transition by doing this, as well. In the offensive zone he is playing third man high.
 
I’m sure it got discussed in the game thread but what an awkward interaction Giannone gave us during this game

Vally: “John are you a betting man?”
Giannone: “I DO NOT bet on sports games”

Sheesh

I missed the first 10 minutes....did the Devil announcers say why McLeod was out today ? I was surprised on that move . He has been a thorn in Ranger games of late .

I really like that 3rd line.

This season is no biggie in my book so just let the kids grow and hope for a full season against all NHL teams next year.
 
It would be stupid to sit Gauthier when Panarin is back...which of course is what will happen.hes really looked good with Chytil and should stay there on his wing

I noticed this as well. He was deep in the corners in the D zone battling for pucks.

Like. I realize we are so deep at wing. But, I can't help but feel we are going to miss the boat on this kid of we ship him out before he breaks out. He is learning. That matters. He could be a low cost bottom 6 nightmare.

I know this is not an equal comparison but I feel like we're going to get Knubble'd by Gooch if we give up on him too soon regardless of what player we get in return.

Oh I heard alright. It sounds like someone who has a lot to discuss with the misses after Casino Night. Or any trip near Vegas or AC for that matter.
