Is there a clip of the savage sauce yesterday that Shesty threw up and hit the tape on the opposite blue line? Can't quite remember exactly when during the game because there was just too much family here yesterday for me to recall lol

Or they thought, "we already gave them a 5-on-3, enough with the Ranger power plays."

Larkin's hit, while extremely late, was in response to Frankie plastering a Detroit player along the boards seconds earlier that set that play in motion.

Sam got hyped af

This deserves a repost.

Oh Baby what a Goal!

Homemade pizza is the best. My finace makes awesome pizza. Fresh picked basil is beyond necessary.

Whose shot was better than Vatrano's as a New York Ranger?

Don Murdoch

 

[Levitate]

dang all ya'll talking about franky v's shot really don't remember what kind of sniper gaborik was

Gabrok's release was definitely better and faster, he had better accuracy, and just snapped that thing and it was in the net

Vatrano has a great shot. It's not Gaborik level. The 'new shiny toy' thing is in strong effect here

What Vatrano has going for him is that he's a pretty good all around player with a great shot who's not afraid to use it. That he's a good all around player (at least so far for the Rangers) seperates him from players like Piri who had a great shot but that was basically the only thing they're good at

Gaborik had an an elite shot. There's a reason one guy scored 40 goals and another has never scored more than 24

I've never seen fans of any team think their team plays well in matinees.

It’s true. The pet peeves we have sounds a lot like the pet peeves of the fans of other teams.
Our team is too soft. We don’t shoot enough. Too many stupid penalties. Whipping boys. Etc.

Whose shot was better than Vatrano's as a New York Ranger?

Brandon Pirri. But his shot is the ONLY thing he can do as a player.

Correct.

Pirri was an ECHLer at everything else.

Correct.

Pirri was an ECHLer at everything else.

When we traded for Vatrano I was sure we were getting another Pirri.

 

[KevinFinnerty]

Yeah Motte-Goodrow-Blais would be a hell of a 4th line, and if one of them goes down- just plug in Rooney, Brodz, or Reaves

I would've bet significant money on Lafreniere scoring in this game. Kid seems to respond every time he's challenged and has a flair for the dramatic. He's a gamer, he definitely has that "it" factor gene that most star players have. Let's hope he can keep progressing and his play will reflect that.

Btw how about the overall L that Larking took in this game? He was on for 3 of our goals scored against them, he had that embarrassing petulant late hit on Vatrano when he scored and the got deked out of his jock on the Lafreniere goal. Definitely an afternoon he's going to want to forget.

The funny thing is that the Rangers are actually really good in weekend matinees this year, they ran a stat about it during the game today and Sam and Joe joked about getting more afternoon games on the schedule.

Also won the Black Friday matinee.

Probably so. Takes teams OUT of their normal routine. Sports players are all about their routines and schedules.

I don't think many people are saying Vatrano is on par or better at shooting than Gaborik. But definitely lots of excitement over this guy, I agree. (myself included)

In the end it's just that when Vatrano has little to no time or space, he can still get a rocket off to the net. Very hard, heavy shot. The accuracy is clearly not near what Gaborik had goin on in the bushes.

If I had soft drink cans placed all over the net and needed someone to hit over 95% - I'm dialing Gaborik's digits.

For me on Vatrano, I'm so incredibly happy that we have a "shoot first, ask questions later" player, and that he always got mustard on it. (not to mention the speed and good dose of grit)

Cheers man!

I still chuckle...
