Post-Game Talk: Undefeated when Ryan Reaves plays!

[NYR2007]

Schneider looks ready. I have no problem sending him down but he will be a Stud

 

[Glen Sathers Cigar]

I thought Nils was largely excellent tonight. Had Hajek around his neck like a boat anchor and still looked good.

Kakko looks ready to go. Reaves is such an effective 4th line player, Blais is going to be huge for us, Wall looked good.

Georgiev stinks.

yes, this. it's annoying and should be called or we should be doing this more/

If we did it, we'd be shorthanded all game.

Gauthier is Schroedinger's Cat right now or Gallant's Goat. He's driving the net, putting pucks on net, skating with purpose but simultaneously having no impact on the score sheet on both ends of the ice. He'll continue to get chances and ice time and looks but eventually he'll have to add some playmaking or finish on his chances to stay relevant with so many kids and vets pushing.

When he’s playing with better linemates I think the havoc he causes will start resulting in goals…For us, mostly

I do think the Rangers in general really tightened up the defense too.

They did. Something clicked after the first period. They got better with Boston's stretch passes and switches in the o-zone. Still got pinned pretty good for long stretches but was bend-but- don't-break.

Considering the difference in quality between the rosters, they didn't really give up many big chances.

Lots of volume, but not a whole lot that could be considered grade "A".

Hunt must've been thinking that tonight he hadn't been held that much since he was in the hospital maternity ward. He drew like 3 surefire holding penalties.

He's never gonna get better linemates unless our top 9 gets decimated though

Also works for Ullmark thinking about the Laf winner or THE HANDS.

1) Rooney
2) Blais
3) Wall

HM: Kakko, Lundkvist

Welcome to another shitshow.

Well, this post did not age well.

Blais has (much) more value than he's been given credit for.

 

[Daves a mess]

Tyler Wall was excellent.

Georgie with a little pee pee in his pants with 2 ex games left.

Looked solid after the burn though.

Robertson as expected looks like he needs time in the AHL.

Schneider doesn’t look like he will have to be there long at all.

Hajek and Gaut are on their way to Waivers tonight

He did. Seemed he got acclimated to the pace and intensity

The problem with Gaut is other than knowing how to drive to the net he's an airhead on what to do after that or when he can't drive to the net

 

[Mugless]

When Schneider gets his man strength, he's gonna be tough to deal with.

nils!

I voted for

3. Kakko for actually standing out positively in a game where they collectively got shelled.
2. Nils. This was a tough matchup for him and he still pulled some straight up wizardry in the OZ. He made 3 plays that were better than the ones he got points on. The apprehension is gone and he still scares the shit out of me defensively but this was against a full NHL roster who played one of the league's best lines.
1. The Hands. No explanation needed.

I think Nils positioning is excellent. Watch him closely and he is always in a good spot in his own end. Similar to Spurgeon. Once he gets stronger he will be exceptional. He will inevitably get outmuscled at times but so far I haven’t seen any issues.

He got outmuscled tonight a couple times by the net. I like him, i just think it would benefit him to spend some time getting used to the north american game in Hartford
