Post-Game Talk: #12 - 11/4/19 | senators @ RANGERS

[aufheben]

Kakko was the only player who looked good to me tonight. Felt like Fox got burned 50 times.

Burn the tape. Move on.

That was...a game.

No, no it wasn't. You couldn't pay me to rewatch that rubbish.

 

[Machinehead]

There's no Chyil in the poll and two Howden's.

I'm still not entirely sold on the one Howden.

 

[Machinehead]

Lindgren is good at ice disk so far and Hajek is trending up. Love to see it.

Skjei reprised the role of Marc Staal tonight.

 

[RangersFan1994]

Kreider you checked out broken record.

 

[Uncle Dru]

No, no it wasn't. You couldn't pay me to rewatch that rubbish.

Agreed, Fox went full Zherdev on us tonight

 

[FoxyClean]

"The most senior Ranger tonight, Chris Kreider."

I don't know why but that's crazy to hear.

5-2 down going into the 3rd, against the Senators, is a winneable situation. It's also the kind of situation where you cut the bench, specifically your 4th line of Micheal Haley and Brendan Smith. We did not.
Is Quinn just dumb or are they not particularly concerned about winning games? Legit Question

I mean it's theoretically possible, sure.

Agreed. I only gave one vote tonight.

Same.

Whatever. Trap game. The lines were also really screwed up because of the penalties, fights, Howden. Missing Zibanejad hurt.

I legitimately think they're not concerned about winning games.

I do have to give a special shout out to Buchnevich. That was one of the worst games I've ever seen him play. Just gross.

Some of the line management Quinn has done late in games has me questioning this...

 

[aufheben]

I legitimately think they're not concerned about winning games.

Brendan Smith only played 5v5 5:25 tonight. The penalties and Howden going to the lockerroom screwed up the lines.

 

[chosen]

Doubt Buch is here next season.

@Machinehead with the FIRE tonight . Dying here.

 

[will1066]

Quinn presser confirming pretty much what I theorized. They got under the Rangers' skin and got them unfocused, and they also turned it up a gear or two.

 

[Kupo]

Just hope for some good on nights like tonight.

I didn’t want Panarin here, but he’s stupid good. Better than our last superstar wingers in Gaborik and Nash. Hated the signing but absolutely loving the player. Panarin is truly exceptional. Crow is tasting great right now.

Kakko is getting confident, and with that confidence comes production. There’s so much potential in him. Instead of trying to break his dmens ankles with his predictable stop n goes, he’s already smart enough to realize he has to throw a fake or two before attempting his reversal in order for it to work at this level. I saw that a few times tonight.

That’s what seperates a good prospect like Chytil versus a great prospect like Kakko. They’re both physically gifted athletes oozing with potential. But Kakko’s making adjustments at an earlier level. Effective changes.

Georgiev has been fabulous — but I still don’t consider him a “better” goalie than Hank just yet. 50 games isn’t a legit sample size over 2+ years. Hank should have gotten the start tonight... Not sure it would have made a difference though.

Staal will probably be in for Hajek or Lindgren next game. Meh.

Oh.. And Fox... Rough night defensively..

But I ****ing love this kid. His IQ is, like, a Billion. Just try and imagine him in 2-3 more seasons... He’ll get better defensively.

 

[Rongomania]

Ruff one for sure.

 

[EdJovanovski]

Kakko looked like WC Kakko

1. Kakko
2. DeAngelo
3. Panarin

 

[Gresch04]

He’s clearly trying to develop Haley and Smith. Think long-term here bud.

Smith is generational player, his game would be good in a different generation.

 

[Fitzy]

Doubt Buch is here next season.

With the lack of depth at wing they better get somebody in return if they're trading him.

 

[Rongomania]

Quinn presser confirming pretty much what I theorized. They got under the Rangers' skin and got them unfocused, and they also turned it up a gear or two.

Yeah. Clear as day, we're not ready yet to play a game like that. The reffing was also pretty garbage-y... I thought a lot of questionable calls against us early also had its place in blowing up our initial game plan.

This was a young team L for sure.

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

Buchnevich and Skjei should be packaged together.

 

[aufheben]

Idk what the hell happened after Ottawa scored. Focus just completely evaporated. So many lazy plays. Too much east-west. They started using their PP breakout at even strength for f***'s sake, did anyone else notice that?

 

[Greg02]

Brendan Smith only played 5v5 5:25 tonight. The penalties and Howden going to the lockerroom screwed up the lines.

I don't mean it in a they're not trying way. I just think that this is legitimately a development year, so they'll play the kids the amount they're comfortable with, and they'll keep on telling Panarin to force that cross ice pass to Kakko on the PP. I don't think it's a bad thing.
