Post-Game Talk: Sixty Nine

[LaffyTaffy13]

Meanwhile zib kills all momentum with a patented headass one timer.

Laf still not earning PP1 at this point is legitimately embarrassing.

Laff’s been driving play and probably our 2nd best 5v5 forward? Hes earned a shot at pp1 over mika.

If laff was on pp1 all season hes likely close to a ppg player

 

[RangerLifer]

Lame that Laffy didn’t get third star, goal and primary on the only ranger goals, obviously ‘buck and shiefele should’ve been 1/2 but come on, man

I love the way Laffy has played this year.

Went almost exactly as I expected

Was off on the Eng by a minute tho lolView attachment 838595

did you bet it?

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

Roslovic the only good player on the top line right now fr fr

 

[Mike in Houston]

F*** Chris Kreider. Turning it over right inside the blue line and then just staring at the breakaway.

Then missing the game tying goal at the end. F*** that entire line really. I hate the wonder douches.

Yikes.

 

[Mike in Houston]

Today is like Christmas morning for the Kreider haters. And there is a lot of them. Holy shit!

 

[Atax]

I like Kreider. I think he needs to be separated from Mika and maybe do some load management for the playoffs. But lets be honest, he had a really bad game. It happens.

Exactly. Players have them from time to time.

2nd loss in the No Trouba Era - 7-2, scoring 35-20

 

[The Crypto Guy]

Kreider should be scratched next game. He needs a wakeup call.

 

[KevinFinnerty]

Winn is the blandest team of all time

 

[KevinFinnerty]

such a vanilla team bleh

 

[egelband]

I have issues with how Kreider plays in the offensive zone five-on-five. That said, he’s fine. He and Mika cover a ton of ground in the NZ and basically smother their opposite numbers. They’re a true shutdown line. In the O-zone they do some weird things but the hate they both get seems misplaced to me.

From the Kreider perspective I will go to my grave blaming Larry Brooks for starting the whole, "Did you see Chris?" narrative.

Anytime he doesn't score, he's a ghost. Invisible. Took the game off.

The guy will be sorely missed the day he's gone.

Neither Kreider nor Mika are showy in their effort. And if even say they both do their share of gliding when the puck doesn’t go where they expect it to go. But indeed, they’re both excellent players. One issue I think is that they’re considered the Number One line when really theyre more like an elite third line style wise.

To be honest with you I couldn't give shit about what line they are. But one thing I would have like to have seen more with Kreider is hitting people. But I think I understand why he doesn't considering his size and speed. He gets penalized for hitting essentially every time he does it.

Yeah. That’s my issue with even-strength Kreider too, sort of. I want him digging around the net more, aggravating the goalie. Hitting too, would be nice. But I don’t think it’s in his nature. People say he changed his game following the Carey Price thing, but did he? Really? Was he ever a particularly aggressive player? I think he was probably a bit more straight-line when he came up. But his game evolved.

 

[NYRfan85]

Tough loss against a top defensive team with a goalie playing out of his mind, after a brutal stretch of 6 games in 9 days. It was bound to happen.

Laffy has really stepped it up this year! He was the best player out there last night for the Rangers.

 

[romba]

For such an in form goalie we sure didn't make things too tough on him by getting in his personal space, maybe offer him an ass or two to sniff, not until late in the 3rd with Cuyle giving a few whacks looking for a rebound. No accidental falls, attacking the net and getting tripped into the goalie etc. Rempe would have made a big difference with that frustrating him, regardless of thundering hits or not.

 

[Mac n Gs]

Haven't seen enough love for Cuylle's game last night. The kid's been working his tail off lately and deserves to get bumped back up to 3LW. Definitely shot way too soon on his breakaway, but his steal off the forecheck and wrister earlier in P1 were great plays

Oh, we are still going with that excuse why Kreider isn’t physical?

“He’s too strong! He gets penalized for hitting people so it’s better he doesn’t hit”

Literally the funniest thing this board has ever come up with.

Rangers fans in 2011: "Kreider should become a 30-30 guy."

Kreider: *does that*

Rangers fans in 2024: "I hate this somehow."

It's like I always say, "No one hates the Rangers more than Ranger fans." At least on the internet anyway.

Yeah but did you ever consider that he could basically be Eric Lindros 2.0 if he simply just skated a bit harder every shift?

 

[Machinehead]

What would happen if Kreider did go out of his way to be way more physical?

Would we score 59% of the goals when he's on the ice instead of 58% of the goals?
