Post-Game Talk: The Powerhouse* at Devils | 7:00 pm | MSG

That's true.

The blind squirrel is right twice a day.

Haha knew you were alluding to the fact they only get outs or HRs when there’s men on base.

 

[Oscar Lindberg]

The amount of people in the building who thought bum city Brinkley was going to score on that breakaway is astounding

 

[BleedBlueNYR]

That’s a BS call.

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

Horrendous call

 

[Rempe73]

I liked Pavel Zacha at the draft.

Never liked McLeod.

I didn’t like McLeod, and I was never a big fan of Zacha either (but preferred him over McLeod). Ty Smith is probably their best value pick, in my opinion. I was so pissed when he fell to them. Other than that, pretty rough draft history. In hindsight, even Hischier wasn’t the best pick.

 

[effen]

what is this defensive posture. skate at the pointmen you idiots dont stand there

 

[Machinehead]

Andersson goes to the front of the net, which is good, but once he gets there he just kind of stops. He's not active or really moving at all, and he won't then slide behind the goal line to become a pass option when there's no chance of a shot

This is a great observation.

The best net-front guys learn how to be active and drive the net at the right time. This was a huge adjustment for Kreider as he went from rookie to vet.



On this play you can see how Kreider loses the D and catches Holtby moving because he didn't hit the crease until the shot is teed up.

Prior to that, he made a play along the boards behind the net which led to the goal just as much as the tip.

The good news is, this is very common and very coachable.

 

[Vinny DeAngelo]

That’s a blatant dive

 

[bl02]

hank the tank

 

[Rempe73]

This isn’t a must-lose game, is it?

 

[JESSEWENEEDTOCOOK]

hank the tank

yurp

 

[Oscar Lindberg]

Hank going all in on the tank I see haha

 

[effen]

which of you chuckleheads was crying about how the Rangers were gonna win out haHAA haHAAh

 

[Glen Sathers Cigar]

Why does Pionk still play PK?

 

[Mandar]

Garbage call on ADA

 

[Glen Sathers Cigar]

Hank going all in on the tank I see haha

I mean that was absurd deflection through a 3 layer screen. That puck got deflected from high glove to the 5 hole.

 

[bl02]

let's not forget devils were up pretty early last time we played I believe before we blew them out.
Hank looks out of it with his mannerisms

 

[Vinny DeAngelo]

Why does Pionk still play PK?

Because ruff likes him

 

[effen]

Why does Pionk still play PK?

he's like the only one willing to try to lay the body

 

[Richard Banger]

Lundqvist has been bad since the middle of January.

I didn’t like McLeod, and I was never a big fan of Zacha either (but preferred him over McLeod). Ty Smith is probably their best value pick, in my opinion. I was so pissed when he fell to them. Other than that, pretty rough draft history. In hindsight, even Hischier wasn’t the best pick.

The good news for our rebuild is that we do tend to be a pretty strong drafting team all things considered -- we just haven't given ourselves the opportunity.

Yeah, McIlrath was stupid, but the fact that that pick was our only legit kick at the can for eight damn years (before Kravtsov) says more than the pick itself.

I won't judge Lias in that way because it just wasn't a great draft.

 

[NYRKING30]

Hank the Tank commander taking charge of this one.

 

[bl02]

which of you chuckleheads was crying about how the Rangers were gonna win out haHAA haHAAh

We all knew they weren't but almost as silly as the ones who thought they would lose out before the st louis game

 

[Richard Banger]

Because ruff likes him

Ruff can take him when he's fired.

 

[BleedBlueNYR]

Why does Pionk still play PK?

Why does he play at all?
