Post-Game Talk: Wing

refs were clearly trying to even up the national tv game in the 3rd. we still absolutely dominated at 5 on 5.

Kakko and Lafreniere can never play well at the same time.

Last year Kakko was better, while Laf looked lost. This year it’s the total opposite where Lad looks great and Kakko looks lost. I found putting Wheeler on the Zibanejad and Kreider line made no difference.

This team still takes its foot off the gas way too much instead of stepping on a teams throat.

Still a nice win while missing some key guys. I can’t complain too much.

Between Biz, Carter, and Chelios there's 5 braincells and Carter has 16 of them.

But Carter is the one harping on defensive zone coverage the most.

 

[Riche16]

Close to putting Laf as a star & Cuylle also, but had to go Kreider, Bread & Tro

I liked Trouba's game... Gus & Lindy also

16 is a low number

 

[FultonReed]

16 is a low number

depends on the context, but generally speaking.

 

[zlev]

also: the 4th line looked fine without Bonino while he went out and put up the worst CF on the team by 7%

 

[Captain Lindy]

Detroit is gonna want to own our asses when we go there to play soon. Rangers have to be prepared.

 

[McRanger92]

Nice to see Laf Schneider Cuylle Jones have good games

 

[Machinehead]

If they played like that with any kind of regularity, you'd never hear me say anything.

You'd be like "where's Machinehead???"

yeah but then we'd miss you

[Levitate]

Detroit's D and goaltending is pretty bad but they can definitely score with the best of them so far this year, so getting out ahead of them and holding on isn't the worst outcome.

Rangers better not expect that much time and space to steal pucks and make plays on the regular though, I think they got a little loose at times hoping to jump on another Detroit misplay and got burned

 

[Kaapo di tutti capi]

I'd just assume you were hanging out with Donnie.

Someone just has to get through to Kakko now

 

[Machinehead]

Actually, so far, Gustafsson-Schneider has been, you know, certainly a pair.

He had good numbers tonight with Jones.

Schneider still does eye-test type stuff that annoys me but he's showing that he can play with a good partner and not murder us.

 

[FUZfan]

Thoroughly enjoyed watching that game. Detroit trying to make a game out of it in the third made it even more enjoyable for me. And I was expecting the wings to make a push. They're a decent team and were being embarrassed. Rangers could have had 3 or 4 more goals had they finished some plays in the third and Husso also absolutely robbed Kreider on that 2 on 1.

For the rangers to get a win like that without their #1 goalie and d-man, and their #2 center is pretty damn impressive.

 

[Brother Mouzone]

 

[Mike in Houston]

Never in doubt.

 

[EdJovanovski]

1. Panarin
2. Cuylle
3. Lafreniere

 

[Kocur26]

Very good win, but we have been exposed by speed the last two games at certain times.


Somewhere between now, and playoffs the Rangers need to upgrade their speed.

You’re not beating the devils with Pitlick Wheeler Bonino Vesey all in the lineup.

That is Chris Drury‘s task.

 

[Clark Kellogg]

Carry over from last year when the team would be up big going into the 3rd, Gallant would tell his players to rein it in and not embarrass the opposing team.
Players with killer instinct win in this league not gentlemen.

refs were clearly trying to even up the national tv game in the 3rd. we still absolutely dominated at 5 on 5.

…and in the 1st and 2nd too.

 

[The Crypto Guy]

Mr. Lafrenière, I'm giving you one chance to explain yourself. Why is it that sometimes you look like you do today, and sometimes you looks like literal shit. There's a difference between NHL players being inconsistent, and this Jekyll and Hyde crap.

He’s looked good for most of this season.

I don't think it's about being nice.

It's a long season and injuries are a huge factor. If you get 20 minutes off in this league, you take advantage of it.
