Post-Game Talk: Sad Storm

[hackeyman]

Amazing from Panarin (duh).
Igor with an excellent performance.
Great defense from Trouba.
How did they retrofit MSG so quickly to look like the Bolts’ arena?

Yes those three were great and to think they had to carry that piece of shit Trocheck !

I wish this was true

I doubt he really knows anything about the injury situation. He just likes to speculate and is very often wrong.

 

[McRanger92]

2 years ago? Heh...

We had Rooney, Hunt and Braun playing in a win or go home playoff game, I stand by it. And I’m always an optimist

 

[mxyxptlk]

Brooks knows nothing.

I'm inclined to agree with Our Mr. Brooks on this.

 

[Brutananadilewski]

That was another huge goal to stop Tampa right where they were.

I don't remember a guy on the Rangers ever that gets them when we need them as consistently as Kreider does.

I guess we're going to forget the playoffs against them...twice!

He broke the story that he’s going back to Europe. He’s been around the team forever. Brooks is a yapper, but he’s still plugged in to the macro storylines.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

They definitely f***ed up.

Maybe they take possession stats into account too.

 

[Profet]

I was insinuating that this current roster has one and two thirds of a top 6... everything else is 4th liners/ahlers.

Wheeler is in our top 6 for Christ's sake.

Wheeler can still play! He just needed time to adjust to a new conference after being in the peg. Hell be a third liner by the playoffs

Yes, considering that Kreider has more goals facing elimination than Wayne Gretzky, Alex Ovechkin, and Mario Lemieux, I'm choosing to excuse the games he didn't score in. Thanks for asking.

Huge goal. We were garbage in the 2nd. Created little and Tampa had lots of shots. Getting to the 3rd up 2 was huge.

 

[Machinehead]

Brooks' opinions are whack but when it comes to whether something happened or didn't happen, he's usually well-informed.

 

[Machinehead]

Perhaps there's something, but I'm inclined to believe this particular result was simply in error.

Even if you want to throw score out the window and argue we did nothing the last 40 minutes, it still couldn't have been that lopsided.

Josh Anderson for Filip Chytil article is burning a hole in his laptop

 

[romba]

can we please start calling that shithole in Belmont 'PMS Arena'? It has the loveliest ring to it.

*Go rags go.

Just FYI, calling them the Rags is kind of equivalent to alternative team names such as the Piles, Debbies, Cryers, Maple Laughs, and Shitsburgh.

Neither of the 3 played as many Game 7s. We played one last post-season.

Regular season is fine and dandy, we are still 0-2 against them since '15.

I guess we hope that Chytil still has an NHL career ahead of him. Losing him for the season would suck.

From 2011 to 2015 this team was the absolute master at having a series go 7.

There was a time people thought Crosby would never play again due to concussions Mika had concerning head/neck injuries too. I hope some time away helps Chytil. Young players can get through injury issues like this. Hell a difference maker when he comes back

People have thrown out many times before that Kreider's goal total in elimination games is excess of opportunity and that's simply false.

His 29 such games is tied for 18th all-time. He's tied for first in goals. His performance is actually entirely disproportionate to the opportunity.

Ovechkin has been in 28 such games. Kreider has he and Gretzky beat in goals per game.

 

[Levitate]

Concussions and recovery aren’t standard or linear so no one has any real inside info on whether chytil will recover or not. He could wake up tomorrow and feel great and that could be the “end” of this one
Or it could linger indefintely

It’s of course concerning it hasn’t cleared up and the rangers can’t bank on him getting better this season IMO but no one knows for sure how it’ll end up right now

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

Nice way to end the year and lead into Aho destruction day

Yeah but the Lightning have Tanner Jeannot who, I am informed, is so good that they traded nine draft picks for him.

I wanted him but that was an insane price to pay
