Post-Game Talk: Rangers vs. Lightning 02/27/19 - 7:30 EST

[LeetchisGod]

At least they deserved better tonight.

This isn't a loser point that bothers me, the one on Sunday and a bunch of others from the first half of the season did.

Fair enough.

 

[Machinehead]

@jas is extremely old, almost as old as @Killem Dafoe

Killem was on a line with Bill and Bun Cook

 

[Machinehead]

It still comes in second to having skill and talent. But, if you can match skill and talent, and then have that extra edge, you win.

And it sure is fun, too.

 

[Ghost of jas]

And what? We win the lottery and draft the next Pettersson? You guys are following the wrong team if you think anything like that is going to happen.

We get another Zibanejad who can slide right in behind him and and give us two quality top six centers.

 

[Machinehead]

I know we get a first rounder, but if you think I won't root against that team in the SCF, you underestimate how petty I am.

That was the best part of tonight.

I mean, to be fair, Pettersson happened to Vancouver, and they're just as f***ed as we are.

 

[effen]

Since the whole "worthless points" thing isn't an box we can uncheck when we got to watch the Rangers every game, I'm not gonna worry about it and instead will find joy in a lost season.

They are in significantly worse shape.

Meh, I’m keeping my expectations low.

 

[JESSEWENEEDTOCOOK]

f***ing hell it just explodes my mind how old that man is

 

[Machinehead]

They are in significantly worse shape.

I wouldn't say that. Their depth is non-existent right now but their core is incredible.

 

[duhmetreE]

Meh, I’m keeping my expectations low.

That's fine... As for me... We're winning the lottery, WPG is losing the division and going out in the first round, DAL will re-sign Zucc after their miracle run in the playoffs.

Dude Vancouver is probably more curse than we are and they got Pettersson

Their Gm is f***ing Jim Benning and it still didn’t matter

Fate intervened

Same with the Chiefs when the heavens parted and they moved up to 10

 

[Machinehead]

You know what the silver line was of Washington winning the Cup, tho? It was freedom. Once you're already dead inside, nobody can hurt you. People on the mainboards talk shit and I'm just like

 

[will1066]

The Tri-Lambs gave the Alpha Betas a run tonight

 

[JESSEWENEEDTOCOOK]

We get another Zibanejad who can slide right in behind him and and give us two quality top six centers.

Zibby and Kirby gonna look real nice down the middle til 2027

That’s true lmao.

Outside of Petterson, Horvat, and Boeser I see a whole lot of nothing.

Demko is a goalie so who knows.
Hughes is several years away physically.
Juolevi has been a big disappointment.

And they have a murderers row of shitty contracts all over the place. It's not their bottom 3 defensemen like the Rangers have, they have f***ing anchors on every line and pairing for the next 3+ years.

 

[Machinehead]

And then there's the Yankees. They go to take a piss and find two elite talents sitting in the toilet.

 

[mrhockey193195]

Buchnevich looked fantastic tonight. Say what you want about Quinn and the coaching staff, clearly something they've done has worked with Pavel.

That's two first line centers and an elite wing. There doesn't need to be a whole lot of anything else.

There does if over half your roster is actual negative players.

 

[Machinehead]

That can be fixed. What's hard to find is already in place.

 

[mrhockey193195]

Actually you can view it from Kuch’s pov, and Namestikov was sort of following through on a hit on the puck carrier (Kuch), who had just released the pass. Smart play from Kucherov imo

Kucherov is so f***ing good. And he's gritty and a POS on the ice as well. The perfect superstar. Other than McDavid, there is no one I'd rather have on my team (hot take, I know).
