Post-Game Talk: Waffles

[mike14]

Good win. We were the better team and overcame some so-so goaltending and near misses to eek it out.
Fox was awesome, KAM was great and a lot of forwards played well, but their lack of scoring for all the opportunities generated is starting to be felt.

Are we sure GG was coaching that game? No kids were benched after errors/turnovers/penalties, kids got OT time and even SO attempts...

 

[Kords]

If Kreider misses significant time, it should be KK season on that PP1. The bad news is that Carpy and Blais are almost certainly locks if he and Goat are week to week.

Kakko rips pucks, can't score. Flubs it in shootout, goes in. More on this shocking development at 11.

Fox, Miller and who? No one. Give Fox extra.

You called it or jinxed us...one or the other in the Game thread post #63

Stole that win. Some lackluster play in many areas. But Miller and Fox were outstanding.

Cannot wait until we upgrade Harpur. He sucks.

Brodzinski shows every shift why he is an AHL player. Great motor but he makes so many mistakes out there. Mishandling pucks, chasing plays, not able to finish, cant pass. Good guy but he just isn’t it.

Lafreniere looked better at times and other times looked lethargic and a step behind.

We’ll see what happens with Gauthier and Kreider. Blais in. Do they call up Cuylle? Rydahl?

 

[SnowblindNYR]

Couldn't watch after Mets lost Correa, just couldn't do sports today but I caved and watched shootout.

What does baseball have to do with sports?

 

[ViD]

Igor with a weak game still gets a W and over 0.905%

 

[EdJovanovski]

Just need a few more injuries to wingers and we'll finally see the greatest 3v3 player in the history of hockey take to the ice

 

[Machinehead]

The shootout is pants but you know what?

 

[Boris Zubov]

Yeah well I was sick and I missed a couple. I owe you a pizza.

Lucky for you he likes the cheap stuff. You can probably buy him 2 larges & some breadsticks for $7.

 

[Raspewtin]

Adam Fox was on the ice for 40 of our shot attempts at ES and only on the ice for 11 against

He's simply magnificent. The light of my life, actually

The Wild are lucky they didn't lose by 3. I have no idea how the Rangers "stole" this win.

 

[mike14]

To beat that dead horse, even outside of the Goat injury Reaves was more noticeable than Laf throughout the game

 

[Boris Zubov]

Kakko was an animal tonight. Of course the scoresheet won't show it, but he really played well.

 

[irishlaxburger2]

I’m not quite sure why Filip Chytil is not our 2C.

I have an inkling it has something to do with our moronic head coach, but I’m not totally sure.

 

[Kaapo Cabana]

Can someone explain to me why our best shootout player and one of the best in the league in Panarin is not one of the top two shooters? There's a non-zero chance he won't even get a chance to go. I'm not a genius but this seems f***ing preposterous to me.

I think it’s good they put Kakko out. He’s been playing well and it’s a vote of confidence.

I’m fine with it.

Possible he tells the coach when he shoots in the SO.

 

[RangerLifer]

That shootout had some hilarious goals.

Kakko scores because Fleury does everything in his power to not save it

Zuccarello scores on a shot so quick that Igor doesn't even move or react to it

Panarin scores because Fleury is felled by a sniper's bullet.

I loved the close-up of Panarin going in the shootout with a smile on his face.

Now that's a rare sight

The Wild are lucky they didn't lose by 3. I have no idea how the Rangers "stole" this win.

The second period might have been the best period of the season.

First and third were even, great game, and can end the “they never bail out Igor” meme.

 

[Bacon Artemi Bravo]

Rangers dominated for some long stretches of this game. That’s a very good Minnesota team.

 

[FireGerardGallant]

We dominated the wild that whole game but Adam Fox also willed us to a victory. Best defenseman in the league

 

[RangerLifer]

Pray to the Hockey Gods that Kreider and Goat aren't out for long.

Makar can suck it.
