When the team doesn’t “have it” and they still beat one of the best teams in the league on the road, you should feel good.
They play the powerplay like it's 5 on 5.Couple of observations, the second power play unit is to easy to play against, they don’t shoot and just try to look pretty, I certainly don’t understand the logic behind just cycling and not shooting the puck.
next item is how much Chytil has regressed. Wasn’t my favorite player ever and still not.
still think he stinks. Sorry but that’s just one man’s opinion. Wouldn’t mind seeing him gone
This place is depressing even after wins.
That's because this is a win that was gift wrapped on a silver platter to us and we can't generate anything when there are 5 skaters from our team and 5 skaters from the other team on the ice at the same time
The only reason this game was in OT to begin with was that Chytil got a penalty that you might see once a season.
If only there were a way to deny the opposition a powerplay goal with a goalie that has the highest post ELC contract in history at his respective position
..or if only there were a way we could score a goal 5 on 5 so we don't need to utilize abhorrent officiating in OT
Yeah, that is not the only reason the game went to OT
This team the night before shutout St Louis 5 zip. We took all that they could throw at us, and came out on top. "Gift Wrapped" "Silver Platter",... these things aren't possible unless we are competitive and making a game of it.That's because this is a win that was gift wrapped on a silver platter to us and we can't generate anything when there are 5 skaters from our team and 5 skaters from the other team on the ice at the same time
Couldn’t agree more. Been saying this for a while now and believe it’s one of the main factors for our 5v5 struggles. It’s possible that they’re tired 5v5 since they both play PP1 and PK1. I don’t think many players do that.Kreider has been pissing me off for a while now. All he wants to do is stand in front of the net on the PP and score tip goals. He's a complete non-factor at even strength. It's only frustrating because he could be so much better he just blatantly chooses not to be.
Zibanejad has also been ass 5 on 5 dating back to early last year. He usually starts slow but dude needs to start creating at EV.
Remember, new coach, May struggle at first? Long road trip, let’s hope for a split?rangers need to be better. they’ve got some really bad habits and have been getting pinned in their zone way more than I’d like. they have only two functional lines 5v5. its infuriating to watch
Those need to be the poll options.Cron Krier picks up the assist.

And then the CC doesn't even try and just goes with "K." Fair enough.

it was so insanely blatant. because the doofus trips on nothing he falls near the puck. but he flings the puck towards the neutral zone trying to clear it with no one around but the ref. the ref is staring at him as he tries to move the puck from the ground. you can’t grab the puck and try and move it like that. it’ll get called every time. this wasn’t a scrum situation where no one can see who’s who and what’s what.The only reason this game was in OT to begin with was that Chytil got a penalty that you might see once a season.
