Post-Game Talk: Teeth

Those charts are grade 3. It's literally blue good red bad. It's Dr. Seuss.

Red chart, blue chart, one chart, two chart.

advanced stats are just too hard for some people. they'd rather rely on hits and blocked shots.

 

[Levitate]

The thing that gives me pause about Fox/Miller is I’d rather not watch Fox have to hang back because Miller is the one deep in the zone with the puck

It could work, they could figure it out, but usually the “offense paired with defensive guy “ is because of the whole one puck problem

But still, good players could make it work

 

[Fitzy]

There also isn’t a crime in paying Lindgren to be an excellent 3rd pairing guy with the occasional promotion, much as Kevin Klein was.

Besides matchups it doesn’t matter much, he’d get his minutes and do well with them

 

[SnowblindNYR]

Lots of negativity and I get it they havent been great lately but I figured I'd share a stat that blew my mind. For the first time since the 78-79 season the Rangers didn't have back to back losses in October and November. This is loss stat and not a win stat so if anything the shootout and overtime made it harder as there are now more opportunities to lose.

Lavi had some nice things to say about Breads line in the post game presser.Singled out all 3 and even commended Bread and Laf for their defensive play.That's why he had Laf out there the past 2 games late defending the lead with the goalie pulled.He also called them the line driving our entire offense.He is such a breath of fresh air over Caveman Gallant

Johnny Brodz probably feelin' right now, confident and making it seemingly impossible for them to send him back to the AHL. Can't wait to see the look on his face when they dump him for Whacko Kakko.

The longest angriest poster winner telling us to be more positive should really make us reflect. Lets enjoy this season, guys and gals.

A win is a win

Those Sharks uniforms look pretty sharp when they have the teal helmet with the away jersey, a good decision by the NHL to allow them now. At least something for their fans to be happy about...

I’ve always liked Jonny and never understood the hate for him around here. It also seems like something has clicked for him recently.

He was 1.5PPG in the A this year. Currently PPG in the show right now. And didn’t he have a nice tournament in the summer too?

The guy deserves to be playing with the big club.

We're 18-4-1. It's pretty crazy if you take a step back and look at it.

If this continues, it will create a bit of dilemma for Drury. I don't think trading Kakko away is the smart thing to do asset management wise, considering his value is pretty low right now.

It's giving Rick Jeanneret calling the Sabres "scary good" energy.

Instant jinx.

It's better to play with Panarin and Jonny against Kakko than vice versa. Sell.

 

[Baby Punisher]

The Rangers better start stiffing up on defense or they aren't going anyway come the playoffs.

 

[Irishguy42]

Embarrassing past two games, tbh. Record be damned

 

[MysticLeviathan]

gonna be a rough weekend. Rangers should beat ottawa, but like last week we’re looking at 3 games in 4 nights and it’s another trap game letdown type of situation against a mediocre team. Next weekend the same thing, though the competition is way tougher. Traveling back from a night game Saturday against Warshingtin to face LA who face the Islanders on Saturday. We travel, they don’t. Then on Tuesday we’re home against Toronto who’s another really good team. 3 games in 4 nights is tough.

We have a bit of a gauntlet coming up.

 

[IronBloodedLion]

The Rangers have played 9 games in the last 15 days. The schedule and travel the last few days is even more insane. It matters. Fatigue causes defensive breakdowns. Yet they still managed 4 points this weekend.

Not enough people are looking at this. The schedule has been really brutal to start the season, and yet they’re still winning. These guys are high level athletes, but they’re still human beings.

 

[Larrybiv]

An entertaining game, to say the least. Just wanna finally say, I told ya' so, about Tro. He's finally getting the recognition he deserves, Lavy and Troubs giving him a great shoutout. Way back before he got picked up by Carolina, I wanted Tro on this team. When we were in DIRE need of a center, Drury couldnt have made a better choice. I remember many here that they com plained of his salary. Anyone still complaining? Question; why weren't we paying attention to getting better at the dot last year? Possession, that doesn't matter (sarcasm). You don't go to jail nor score goals if you don't have possession.

Yeah, whereas once upon a time you got a point for a tie, and no chance at a loss. Hated ties, like the preverbial saying....."it's like kissing your sister. No satisfaction". Get rid of shootout, 10 minute O.T. 4 on 4. 1st goal wins. After 5, switch sides (after play stoppage) with 5 minute break. Then next 5. Still tied, then it's a tie.
Win, lose and tie as a TEAM. NO loser points. Fight to the end.

Literally did that prior to here. Just gazing, staring and totally enjoying that unbelievable record. Solid, so solid and not an illusion. Guess this is what T.B. and Boston fans have been somewhat used to. Me likey!

If this continues, it will create a bit of dilemma for Drury. I don't think trading Kakko away is the smart thing to do asset management wise, considering his value is pretty low right now.

Don't they have the option to send him down? Like said, Brodz deserves to be here, not that KK doesn't BUT, many thought he could have used some time there to gain major confidence. That seems to be part of it, the others are him missing a fellow Finnish and NOT having any Finish.

The last few hours have been really productive at work!

This just means you didn't spend enough time refreshing until it came back.

More clicks on the refresh button/60 than you think!

 

[Peltz]

That was a dumb game. But we won, and lots of goals were scored, so yay I guess. Always nice to see a hattrick.
Defensively we were terrible.

3 stars would be Panarin, Tro and then meh (maybe Miller?)
