Post-Game Talk: Waffles

[HockeyBasedNYC]

So lucky to have Fox. Spoiled

I missed the start of OT, was Kakko out there? I definitely saw Laf at one point so Kakko better have gotten a shot.

 

[Boris Zubov]

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

I don't know how skilled they are, but they are certainly a bear to play against. They are gonna wear out any team they face in a 7 game series.

 

[HatTrick Swayze]

Very well deserved 2 points. Better team for the vast majority of the night.

Hopefully Kreider isn't seriously injured. Kreider-Zibanejad-Kakko is so hard to contain when they are cycling well.

Oh and nice to know, win or lose, we get to watch Adam Fox. Special player.

out there with Zib

 

[will1066]

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

 

[McRanger92]

Nice hard fought victory against a fellow team that no one will want to see come playoff time

 

[Sayba]

Anyone else regretting not paying KeAndre in the offseason?

 

[Machinehead]

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

Chytil was fire.

Jimbo was unironically solid (again).

 

[JT Kreider]

I drafted Panarin over Fox in my fantasy league. AMA. Fade me.

 

[mike14]

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.

Yup. In half a season Tro-Panarin really haven't shown much. Give Chytil a crack at it

Started with Zib and Fox

When did Gauthier get injured?I missed it giving the wife her birthday present

 

[Fitzy]

This will be the first time the team's depth is tested with injury.

Some of these forwards need to finalize their claim to this roster. Brodzinski and Blais should not be safe spots if they're outplayed by others.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

This game was in my opinion better than the first one, the Wild were just blocking shots and passes more this game and Fleury was better.

Would love to see them come playoff time. means we made the SCF!

 

[Kovalev27]

Shesterkin was absolutely terrible tonight. I’m glad he shuts it down to finish the shootout for his own well being. But make no mistake. Getting beat clean like this over and over is absurd for him

Fox can win a Conn Smythe if he plays like this. He’s still just a kid. If he can elevate to this level I like our chances.

Hate to see Kreider hurt but honestly might be good for lafreniere who we need to get going

been saying it. not sure how it is not a no brainer at this point???
he's got more skill than all of our young forwards combined right now

 

[Machinehead]

Talk about analytics...

Adam Fox just picked up the rink and tilted towards Minnesota's goal like Hercules when he fights Kratos.

Gallant isn't interested in getting Laf going.He will just bump Goodrow or Blais up to line 1..sad but true

 

[Machinehead]

Kakko was good in that game.

Wish he would get a bounce now and then but he was legitimately very good.

 

[TopShelfSnipes]

I missed the start of OT, was Kakko out there? I definitely saw Laf at one point so Kakko better have gotten a shot.

He did start OT, but barely touched the puck. Zibanejad mostly skated the puck around for a minute until that trio changed. He was key in them winning the opening faceoff.

At least they are trying to possess the puck in overtime instead of playing defense for up to 5 mins in the OT 'till they give up a goal.

2nd period was great. 3rd was so-so. Still too many soft plays in their own zone and at the opposing blue line for my blood.

Krav had a very good game.

I want to see Laf be more assertive. He goes into the corner earnestly trying to play the puck instead of physically to establish body position and THEN make a play.

Kakko passed up a great shot to try and set him up in the 3rd. Seems like the team is trying to get him one to get his confidene back.

 

[will1066]

Fox needs a chiropractor. His back is tired from carrying 19 other guys the whole night.

So lucky to have Fox. Blessed

Fixed

 

[mas0764]

Schneider has surpassed Trouba on the depth chart.

Called that shit months ago

 

[Whoot Whoot]

He had some balls putting out 72 and 13 again
