Post-Game Talk: Tony Hawk

[ohbaby]

If I am totally being honest,... I would not like more wins like this. I could have fell asleep midway through the game if I didn't pinch myself. I never thought I would say this,... but I think I would prefer posters here bitching about winning close games. LOL!

 

[Clark Kellogg]

Whoops! Wrong game

Right you are.

 

[TopShelfSnipes]

They seem to have found the right mix between the kids, the stars and the depth guys. Kravtsov and Harpur have been upgrades around the edges of the roster. And Igor is finally back to being Igor. If they continue to win and climb the standings they will be obligated to go for Kane. Until then, let’s finish strong against 2 big rivals next week. LGR.

TBH, if the situation presents itself, I'm not entirely against a Kane trade provided several very important preconditions:

#1 - Goodrow to the 4th line. Kane can play with Panarin, so there's no reason to keep Goodrow in the top 9.
#2 - We aren't giving up any studs or phenomenal picks, or if we give up a first we're in a position that it doesn't project to be anything other than a late round pick
#3 - Since Laf was frequently compared to Kane in playstyle (and this is a legitimate comparison), Kane is told when he arrives that one of his main responsibilities is to mentor Laf and teach him how to prepare and play like Kane did in his prime.
#4 - Vesey remains on the bottom line as well, and Kravtsov remains in the lineup regardless.

So, strictly as a rental, you'd be looking at:
10-93-88
13-72-24
20-16-74
Some combination of 91/21/26/76/12 (although as noted elsewhere I'd prefer to move Blais for a 6D).

I did not realize that 3 former Rangers were on the Blackhawks.

Yes, Amonte, Anisimov and Holland

 

[duhmetreE]

He needs some time off.

Yeah I think Chytil could use an IR stay to get his head right. Let him rest through the new year

It might be wise to give him a month or so off.

We're now entering a realm of scary permanent long term damage

It may have been a little late but it was straight on , so I’d think Chytil was braced. As opposed to the blind side drive by he took against the Blue Jackets (?) which was worse than this one, at least upon first glance.

It's definitely his fault for puck watching. He needs to be way more aware

 

[nyr2k2]

Doesn’t look all that late tbh. I didn’t see the game but that replay looks more like kind of bad luck. Did he hit his head on the boards maybe?

The angle from lower on the ice, shoulder goes straight into Chytil's jaw.

 

[Levitate]

The hit was late and high and probably technically boarding as well (though it’s not often called like that if ever)

But…Chytil’s gotta protect himself. Guys still coming at you, put your stick up, something. Don’t assume everyone’s gonna play within the rules

 

[Rangers in 7]

 

[duhmetreE]

It's not luck if you pass the puck and stare at it instead of protecting yourself, the hit was late and high but he could have avoided it or atleast protected himself.

100%

Ben Heartburn. The only reason he's playing is because of his size.

Go get Chychrun.

 

[nyr2k2]

Agreed with those that think the hit was late, but also that Chytil needs to not admire his pass and should be looking to protect himself.

 

[duhmetreE]

I'd also much rather have Toews than Kane

Right you are.

Is it me, or does it sound like Emily Kaplan's mic gets muted by the audio guy as Panarin's pass to Kravtsov connects in the neutral zone?

 

[duhmetreE]

In MMA after someone suffers brutal knockouts/concussions, they are shutdown for extended periods.

Chytil might need at least a month or two off. I would shut him down completely and let him start skating in February.

 

[PuckLuck3043]

It's almost a full second after Chytil passes the puck. I thought the standard for late was 0.5. This one seems a little later than that.

It was late and high and should have been penalized. This is about the 10th time he has been injured the last 2 years. I don't think we see him for awhile unfortunately.

nah

He probably despises her voice more than anyone....he's listening to her off camera rambling every night.

The audio guy was awful tonight.

-Random volume spikes whenever the puck was near the right side end boards.
-The ref's mic randomly activating like 3-4 times during the telecast and going live in the middle of gameplay.
-The audio randomly dropping twice for a few seconds during the live feed.
-During a commercial break, the feed randomly just went dark for about 20 seconds.

ESPN (and Disney) is a joke. They can't even do basic things right. If this were a matchup of broadcast teams, MSG would have won 7-1.

She may have just stopped speaking because she saw a play developing but it really does sound like whoever was at the mixing console went "That's quite enough of that"

I swear, it's like the media is trying to make hockey fans miss Pierre McGuire or something.

 

[PuckLuck3043]

Did Gallant give his usual day to day when asked about Chytil?

 

[Boris Zubov]

I swear, it's like the media is trying to make hockey fans miss Pierre McGuire or something.

If only the NHL promoted their stars as well as ESPN does with Leah Hextall & Emily Kaplan

Not you. I think the producer saw Kravtsov on the breakaway and wanted to go back to the PxP guy.

 

[mas0764]

You can easily see Krav as a quality top 6 player. They better not trade him or let him leave.
