Post-Game Talk: The Powerhouse at Winnipeg | 2/12/19 - 8PM - MSG

Lundqvist lost us this game bar none. I saw 3 of the 4 goals and all 3 were soft. I missed the second goal though.

Weird game for Hank. Three of the goals, I'm sure he wants back, and were certainly stoppable. But he also made a ton of high-quality saves throughout the night. Considering how many chances he faced, and how he overperformed on the high quality shots but underperformed on the lower quality shots, 4 goals seems just about average for him.

I mean sure Winnipeg is really good and stuff, but the Rangers could have easily won that game. Hank should’ve had one maybe even two of the goalies against, though he did stop a bunch of shots that prob should’ve gone in so he was basically evened out to be just normal.

McQuaid just conceding ice all night like he’s Neal Pionk or something. And on the last goal didn’t do anything then decided to slide for no reason into Hank, preventing him from making the save. I thought that was the worst game I’ve ever seen McQuaid play.

Pionk also had a rough night but these coaches love him, it seems like he’s always out there. I just find him either committing an unforced icing or getting hemmed in his zone for an extended period after failing to clear, I feel like those two things describe 90% of his ice time at 5v5.

Kreider had a tap in there to tie the game. Need to put that in. Hayes deked out their whole team and just couldn’t finish, would’ve been nice.

Zucc dumping the puck in with 3 seconds on the clock was hilarious though.

I thought Myers got a stick on that and almost knocked it in himself.

I was going to say, this reminds me so much of the Czech-Mates from 99-00 and 00-01. Let's hope Zibby keeps up this level and isn't just another Nedved.

I was a Nedved fan, but, Zibanejad is a horse. Zibanejad is stronger and more physical.

"Well, if you're not perfect..."

He ****ing sucked, Vally.

I can’t believe he said that. At least Maloney isn’t sugarcoating it.

First and third were bad and should be stopped.

Second and fourth were not on the goalie.

Well for a goalie of his caliber he's expected to make tough saves AND not give up softies. So it's a below average game for him.

Why does Gianone talk like he’s channeling Chaucer with his post game comments?

 

[ReggieDunlop68]

I’m truly shocked by the content of this post from you.

Is shocked now slang for expected.

Likewise, and agreed. Also - that was 18 effing years ago!?!? What on earth happened...

Agreed. Zibanejad doesn’t seem to have any flaws this season, other than only being a 20 ft. player.

Yeah he did seemed like. So much net there you’d just love to see Kreider get it in. I guess a tough angle for him though.

 

[PuckLuck3043]

Dave Maloney just said team played very well and Hank needed to make a save. He was bad.

 

[Ghost of jas]

He did. Kreider still almost put it in after that.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

I’m truly shocked by the content of this post from you.

And I'm truly shocked that you can't take criticism of the golden boy again. I give him credit when he makes good saves or has good games. You just only focus on the negative posts because you can't stand any criticism of him.

Oh wait I forgot my sarcasm emoji.

They would beat Tampa into submission.

If they could catch them. They are a lot dirtier/nastier than I thought. That is a good thing come PO's. Then again, playing the Rangers......really nothing to be afraid of.

First and third were bad and should be stopped.

Second and fourth were not on the goalie.

The fourth goal was a good chance but he had it.

The fourth was pretty much on him as well, although McQuaid could have done better.

Stank lunqvist again tonight. For what he's being payed...hes just another ranger not worth his price tag. 3 soft goals cost us thus Winable game.

I have less hair and a lot of it’s gray.

This is such a formulaic post.

 

[Larrybiv]

Well, I did say Georgiev should have played tonight. Would have been our best chance based on the kids last game. Ride the HOT hand. Has nothing to do with Hank being subpar, old or not particularly successful against Winnipeg. I mean when, exactly WHEN will ypu give this kid a chance to run with some success?

 

[RangerLifer]

1 line team vs a cup contender. It is what it is. Atleast they are fun to watch, wont be for long once the trades are made.

You had me up until the comma.

 

[Webster]

When you hate losing but remember that you'll soon be telling people how to pronounce the name on your new "Kakko" jersey.

He looks unhappy with the offers...

Also, he's probably worried about Hank, who looks lost out there. I'm afraid he's not good enough to win a cup anymore.

But that’s the problem. Hank is good at making the amazing, high-danger saves, but then lets in a softie or two.
