[Captain Lindy]

isles also played today and their flight is longer…..and they fly coach

They had most of the week off.

Win-o-Meter?

Overall expected goals for this game are skewed because of the empty net.

This is a relatively generous o'meter given the other metrics. Taking score into account heavily in addition to the empty net, I think.

 

[duhmetreE]

grind out 2pts. This is a tough stretch of schedule.

I don't care how it looks. We've seen what they look like with rest and practice. This slop happens with the NHL scheduling. It is what it is.

Get 2 more points tomorrow

How many posts did we hit in this game?

Tro had 2 alone on that one shift on the PK, Zibs hit one that than ricochet off Jarry's face mask. I think there were at least 2 more. Those could have deflated the Pens a lot sooner.

Four, I believe.

All before we scored on the double powerplay.

We were playing pretty good before the score got wide.

ESPN said that Bread is the first player in Rongos history to have 3 straight 90 point seasons??

That’s some sad shit .


But good for him.


BTW I’m officially part of the ten year club.

I hope you all start to treat me with the respect I deserve.

Interesting that Miller has all these votes in the poll.

Anybody can just avoid criticism by putting up points except for Kreider.

And he’s homegrown too, makes no sense

5.

Kreider smoked one in the 3rd.

They've hit 12 or 13 in their last 4.

Yah I’ve been hearing a lot of pings lately.

Especially from Vinnie

Ferraro was cracking me up saying we miss him protecting a lead.

1) No.

2) We're not in the lead if he's playing. We played a very good game right up until 5-3.

Ferraro is an idiot. I thought the move from NBC to ESPN was going to be good and make nationally televised games more palatable. Wrong. Beating the flightless birds on a national game always highly satisfying, tho, broadcast station regardless!

 

[Machinehead]

Kreider is closing in on top 30 in the league in scoring.

Like, the whole league.

Late to the party, but:

1) I kept the ABC stream going post-game, and the local NYC sports-caster while recapping the game read off the teleprompter “the bearded man” while showing Panarin’s second goal lol
2) IMO, Jack Zones should never be scratched again. Ruhwedel can enjoy watching from the Chase Bridge.

this is why i said they threw away a pick for Ruhwedel... Jones is much better.

I was told he sucks.

I’m just not a schedule complainer, the Rangers get one of the easiest road schedules every year travel wise just for their proximity to a majority of the teams in the East.

That's true, but that's not "THE RANGERS FAULT". I don't complain either, but every year it seems we play the most b2b's (okay, no big deal) but those 3 in 4's, and 3 LONG vacations?
How does THAT make sense?
Increases the chances for injuries. The guys will be wiped. Jeez, I think 9 in 14 or 15.

 

[Larrybiv]

Live look in at Crosby trying to intimidate the Rangers:

I've seen that movie many times, and now watching that, it made me lol, seriously

 

[Larrybiv]

What the hell is it that I'm looking at here? Did someone forget bed robes aren't made for TV?

Is there a bed in the studio? A female awaiting him? Already showered and robed? Was my first impression Mess got a very good laugh.

 

[Larrybiv]

Some folks were saying Laf has been light lately. I think he looks just fine. He's not a super star, but he is absolutely playing like a top 6 wing. He still has terrible luck though.

Terrible, terrible luck. He easily could have 25. When he crosses that line into "becoming a veteran" those pucks will go in and will rack up the points. His shot is lethal man. Just a little adjustment, lol

I was thinking during the game that when they start going in for him, they're going to come in buckets.

 

[mandiblesofdoom]

They've running this narrative for 2-3 years now, "Jones is great but he's too small. Not an everyday player on a championship team. Kind of a boutique player." Now half the fan base believes it, & management makes decisions as if it's true.

If they're smart they'll leave him in the lineup. It was good to see the coach compliment him the other day.

Yeah, like Mika buckets when he's hot. Want the kid to have steady success along with those types of streaks. You could just see it in his face, success is coming and feeling like a HUGE part of this team, and ever rising confidence.

This statement I "ran into", you know where. (Kept the name out to protect the innocent)
"Uncle Gary will provideth if we get in reach of that pick".

You see, even the Pens fans believe what we've been believing for 30 years now, or is it 20?

Looks like it was a fun game yesterday. Missed it unfortunately.
