Post-Game Talk: Gluten-Free Ovechkin

[will1066]

They did, great performance by them. Panarin was really fighting for his ice last night, which was great. Laf made so many subtle plays to keep possession or help transition.

Those quick cuts into the middle of the ice were insane.

 

[Captain Lindy]

Trouba's elbow coming out was reactionary. When the objective is to hit the guy, that's what the mind is set to even when Necas ducks. I don't think it was dirty. It's why we see hits from behind so often when the guy turns, especially towards the glass, at the last second. It's hard to pull back when the hitter is preset to hit mode.

All the morons are talking about the Trouba elbow that never happened but fail to talk about that POS who tripped Igor, saying Igor dove. It's just ridiculous at this point.

Message from NHL Department of Player Safety:

There will be no further action on NY Rangers' Jacob Trouba for his missed hit on Carolina Hurricanes' Martin Necas.


There, I'm glad it's settled.

Is this a joke??

 

[Cuckoo4Kakko]

Pesce has yet to skate apparently. That's big. He'd make things a lot tougher.

Absolutely.

It’s also great having two really good scoring lines right now (what a boost it would be to get scoring from the third line too). Jack R gets some heat but his speed and getting into the o zone has been solid.

 

[RangerBoy]

Carolina played 9 forwards last night. All of their forwards played major minutes.

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

The pre scouting they did has really shown and they've manifested chances and goals in so many different ways.

Carolina started to back off on some of the later PP's and had better success, both in defending chances and pushing pucks for chances going the other way. The OT goal was a broken ass play that the Rangers just happened to put in the net. Very much giving the Canes a taste of their own medicine.

 

[Cuckoo4Kakko]

Coach saw what we all saw. He sucked. Guy who supposed to do well against man to man Carolina defense completely invisible. Washington gifted him a goal otherwise he would be zeroes across the board.

You must be fun at parties. Before yesterday he was doing pretty good this series. Yesterday he was middle of the pack. We are 6-0. Enjoy.

 

[huerter]

I guess Trouba is out too.

 

[Kords]

Also gotta think Jarvis is banged up after that Fox hit. He looked in a bad way but got through on adrenaline.

 

[pld459666]

If Chytil is healthy, getting him in Game 3 will significantly hurt the Canes hopes of trying to isolate Rempe with the last change.

Get Wennberg on the 4th line and the hoped for mismatch is very much negated.

 

[Hunter Gathers]

Liberating is the perfect word.

When some Devils fan is going nuclear about how Trouba is extremely dirty and you reply with, “yep” is a 10/10 feeling. Like whether I agree with you, argue a middle point or disagree with you is irrelevant. Nothing we say is going to change Trouba’s hits.

I don’t care.

What if you are like me and you have fun defending him even if your heart isn't in it JUST to see how nuclear those f***ing clowns get? It's so God damn fun. They are all so dumb.

 

[HatTrick Swayze]

I can’t believe anyone is actually talking about Trouba’s non hit. “His elbow was up” I mean LMAO.

If that’s all that is getting the rabble roused, that’s a great thing.

The camera caught him popping pills on the bench.



Definitely not 100%.

Hit him as hard as humanly possible every time he's on the ice.

What's your diagnosis, HFDoc?

Oh, and I love the Devils poster in the main board thread saying that the calls are helping the Rangers and if there was more 5v5 time things would be different, when the Canes had the best kill and the second-best man advantage all season.

 

[aufheben]

You have to actually open the box score of the game. Then they give you the full highlight of each goal video

So dumb lol

 

[Chytilmania]

I like Trouba, but he fûck up to many easy ones. I'm guessing Drury & Co sees the same and try to shop him this upcoming summer.

And his (captain) replacement is leading the charge. With another one who can be groomed.

 

[Levitate]

honestly I'm surprised the game graded out the way iti did for the Rangers...even disregarding the raw shot disparity it felt like Carolina was a little mroe on top of it but actual scoring chances/high danger were in the Rangers favor....

Kakko's problem last night IMO is he just never got the puck. He's gotta find ways to get the puck and do stuff with it. that's on him to figure out somehow to be a puck magnet

 

[Chytilmania]

He was making hilarious faces on the bench. Wish I screen grabbed a few.

 

[Kovalev27]

Everyone should hit him as hard as possible, then, next game. Force him out again.

They are and he’s shying away from contact consistently

Kakko needs to step it up. We would be really tough to beat if the 3rd line played as well as they did when Kakko came back from his injury.

That came after the Fox hit. Jarvis struggled to get to the bench. He sat by himself in back of the bench before popping the pills. Jarvis was hit from behind by Kreider and then Trouba hit Jarvis on the same play in game one.
