Post-Game Talk: superstorm

[Row I Goon]

Didn’t see a second of it and won’t.

Spent the day touring around Vancouver before attending the Canucks game and wife is ecstatic with a 6-3 win. I might get lucky tonight.

9-6 since Dec 1. This lineup is catching up to us. Still winning more than losing but not by a whole lot. The chytil and Kakko injuries are becoming more and more difficult to overcome.

Brodzinski I’ll say again is not an nhler.

Bonino is doing way more than he ever should be. Prob a 13th forward maybe a 4C at most right now. He’s playing as a 3C

Pitlick stinks prob should be a 13th forward at best.

Goodrow eating thru a tube the last month is he really at his best? No.

Fox has been mid

Lindgren terrible

Shesterkin mostly lousy outside of a 4 game stretch.

Lineup needs a shake up. I don’t see why edstrom can’t come in for a few games to spell Bonino. I don’t see why at this point of the year Othmann can’t provide a spark with a cup of coffee. Not going to hurt him. Feels like these moves should have been made already but drury is just hanging on till the deadline

It’s drurys strategy every season. Come in with zero depth, pray the core can hard carry until the TDL where you fill a bunch of holes that you ignored

 

[WhereO Is Kakko]

although I can understand them keeping Othmann in Hatford for now.

Really? Given how shite the bottom 6 is, I cannot understand this at all.

“High”lights?

Lol.

Anyone see this quote post game?

"I was fortunate to get a lot of good passes and put it in the back of the net. My uncle signed this guy Pitlick, that was funny. Also, the pretzels are stale." said Drury, the 23-year-old nephew of Rangers general manager Chris Drury.

I had a pretzel a couple weeks ago, it was stale.

 

[Stone97Ace]

Lavvy will sleep maybe 3 hours tonight and group message Housely and Peca..you up? Gerard made sure he got 8 hours of solid sleep because it's important and with a stretch asks which rink is open for practice, "actually let Troubs got this." Torts gets 5 hours, wakes up punches the face of whoever woke him up and demands to know where the Europeans and troublemakers are.

 

[RangersFan1994]

I don't get how management has love affairs with fringe players few years ago it was Hunt, years ago it was Tanner Glass, this year its Brodzinski. I don't get how he gets powerplay time over players like Vesey, Cuylle or even Goodrow.

 

[savebyrichter94]

I dont want to overreact but this team is dead to me.

See you next game

 

[savebyrichter94]

Fighting a 101 fever with a hockey game tomorrow night I don't want to miss so decided to rest up. Ended up sleeping through the game and checked NHL.com with 5 minutes left in the third period, and glad I decided to sleep through this one and try to sweat out my fever.

Wish I would’ve skipped it instead of trying to fight through a splitting migraine to watch whatever that was tonight, feel better!

 

[hackeyman]

Lovely way to spend my anniversary...wife ain't getting none tonight!

Is your wife a Canes fan ?

It's been taken care of.

There are no great teams this season, so far.

Every team has lost games like that this season.

 

[Mike in Houston]

I went to bed as soon as it was 5-1. They didn't want to play, so I didn't want to watch.

 

[The S5]

The Rangers should trade Schneider before the rest of the league figures out he’s ass

This place is hot take central. Didn't Ranger fans say the same thing about Brady Skjei? How did that turn out?

Here's a hot take. Schneider is having a good year and would look better if Gustafsson could defend in his own zone. Gus handles the puck like its a grenade unless hes on the rush or PP

 

[Chytilmania]

Morale victory: Serj scored against the Storm Surge.

 

[Mike in Houston]

The Rangers, like mentioned upthread, are 9-6 in their last 15 games. They're fortunate to have gotten off to the start that they did. Right now they're not playing a good, consistent brand of hockey. And when they lose, man do they lose bad. They need to start stringing together wins again or they're going to be caught and surpassed in the standings. And for all the good things they did to begin the season, if they lose the opportunity to have home ice advantage in a few months, then that would be sad.

 

[Oscar Lindberg]

They traded him for a good return and he’s basically been the same player in Carolina? Is this supposed to be some gotcha?

He’s having a good year if you’re not watching the games lol

Schneider is supposed to be the defensive guy on any pairing. If he can’t do that, then what exactly is he good at? Cause he’s not good at offense

Tyler Motte to rescue once again!

Schneider's probably better at offense, really.

When has this ever been the case in his career besides this season? Nemeth, Braun, Harpur. The 3rd goal he is being blamed for yesterday was a miscommunication between Igor and Gustafsson.

 

[Machinehead]

I thought we were going to stop yelling about Schneider when Schneider posted decent analytics for the first half!

I wouldn't take much of anything from that game to read into.

As I predicted, it was an ugly ass Carolina game where nobody did anything. High danger chances were 9-5.

I'm not interested in people screaming at me about Igor this morning, but I'm just gonna let 6 goals on 9 high danger chances float around out there and you can do what you want with it.

 

[egelband]

Ugly game. Typical Carolina regular season performance. They clutch and grab, refs cant be bothered to call it all. Rangers packed it in halfway through. Pretty disappointing match for everyone involved aside from Carolina. Even the NHL is disappointed because it didn't turn into a bloodbath.

 

[Fitzy]

Our third and 4th line centers have two goals combined almost half way through the season

That has to be some kind of league record? There was much rejoicing...

 

[Larrybiv]

We are not winning the division

Thanks for your input, very helpful. Oh wait.....mine isn't much better reading.
