Post-Game Talk: Smash

[Mandar]

If they lose tomorrow, should give them a mulligan. Travel, back to back game, against a bad team, classic trap game.

They took care of business tonight. Obviously a win tomorrow would be epic but won’t be too upset if they lose.

Nope….no mulligan. Not for a team that fancies themselves a cup contender. They are probably all ready back home, so no travel excuses.

They are raising expectations now….a loss to the Sharks isnt “acceptable “ in any way, shape, or form.

Just take care of business,

Why does Vinnie always keep punching Lafs face after the wins. lol

Is this really a thing? Must be quite a sight.

 

[BlueShirtGal]

I want to see the Trocheck facewash again!

 

[I Eat Crow]

The Rangers are 17-0-0 this year when outscoring the opponhent.

Big if true.

 

[bobbop]

Nashville has a good team. Don't forget that.

And yes, Wheeler does look cooked. Unfortunate.

 

[Rongomania]

Big if true.

We are a very good hockey team. I expected a snoozer. They made that game exciting and shut them down after tying it.

 

[PuckLuck3043]

Nashville has a good team. Don't forget that.

And yes, Wheeler does look cooked. Unfortunate.

I expected more from Wheeler and he hasn't been very good but it was still a good, no risk signing. Oh well.

 

[Daves a mess]

Rangers pre-shower: 0-2
Rangers post-shower: 4-1

You're welcome

Take a shower before 6 tomm ty...

Solve the riddle:

Lindgren had his worst game of the season and is now having twice as good of a season. How?

 

[hardnosed]

I have to go with Creedence suing John Fogarty for singing Creedence songs.

Actually John Fogarty was accused of plagiarizing himself because a later song sounded too much like a previous song he wrote. The problem was that he didn't own the rights to those earlier songs. If I remember things correctly, he was found innocent

 

[Machinehead]

You know what? Jonathan the Bodathan is a quality option.

 

[DialUp]

The meta is now officially "Launch Lindgren into la Luna".
How I pine for the good old days of Nemeth hate, or Girardi hate, or Redden hate.

 

[FoxysExpensiveNYDigs]

The Wheeler experiment is over.

Didn't get to watch much. Did he get benched? Please tell me he got benched!

 

[ohbaby]

What would I do without Clark Kellogg after missing a game? You are the best.

I don't know about you guys, but I'm not so crazy about us imitating the Boston Bruins winning all these games early on. It's gonna make me disappointed if we don't win the President's Trophy. LOL!

 

[Clark Kellogg]

Didn't get to watch much. Did he get benched? Please tell me he got benched!

No, I think because he’s cooked.
Though Laviolette might not agree. He had Wheeler out there in the closing minutes.
Maybe trying to get him an empty-netter?

 

[majordomo]

Demoted to 4th line.

 

[Captain Lindy]

No poll tonight?

 

[bl02]

What am I gonna complain about after this team won again? Well how much longer is the Wheeler experiment gonna go on? If Brodz plays like this maybe Wheeler finds himself out. No way is he better than Pitlick or Brodz right now. Sucks because he didn't look terrible in the playoffs.

 

[Paulie Walnutz]

Daryl Hall suing John Oates

Jonny Brodzinski outproducing Kaapo Kakko

Which is more shocking?

Kakko: 3 points in 20 games, Johnny Pierogi 2 points in 3 games

 

[Kovalev27]

I really didn’t like the goals against but Igor was great otherwise. He’ll tell u he didn’t like the goals. All 3 beat him clean and set.

Gutsy win. Having kakko be trash now out wheeler being absolutely cooked and Chytil being out this long is catching up to them.

Brodzinki while an energy guy was prob not the guy to give them the spark even with his assists. I think they need to bring up Othmann while he’s red hot. Two more goals tonight.

Wheeler MUST have a much more diminished role if he’s going to be here. He literally cannot keep up anymore.

We've had better. We've had worse.

We did some decent analytics in the final 40 minutes after being hung by our balls in the first.

Really liked the third. Felt we could have had a couple more

Imagine mcdonagh and Fox together? Thatd be a dream

 

[Kovalev27]

Tells you how bad kakko has been that Johnny Hartford can come up and match his point totals in a few days. Pathetic

 

[Draft Guru]

Kakko out injured and still catching strays from this fan base, smh

 

[Levitate]

I think bringing up Othman would be a big mistake for his development…he’s just barely started to figure it out in the AHL

 

[Megustaelhockey]

And just like that, the Rangers are back home...

What a difference flying private makes, lol.

 

[PuckLuck3043]

I think bringing up Othman would be a big mistake for his development…he’s just barely started to figure it out in the AHL

Yup. No need to bring up any of the kids this year. Let them learn the pro game in Hartford. Brodzinski was the right callup at this time.
