Post-Game Talk: #2 - 10/06/18 | RANGERS @ sabres | 7:00 - MSG

Is it allowed to miss Torts - just for a minute... lol

 

[mike14]

Hutton deserves a tonne of credit. Brilliant game.

We probably deserved another goal or two but our lack of finish was very noticeable. We didn't actually make too many mistakes defensively but they managed to capitalize when we did.

Great to see Howden get his first.
Early days but it really doesn't look like CK is going to step up and lead this offense like I hoped he would. Fast look better in his 2 shifts with the top line than CK has in 6 periods. Zucc had a case of the fumbles for most of the night

 

[SML2]

Carter Hutton on us getting a second goal.

 

[GeorgeKaplan]

Deserved a win, didn’t get one. Probably going to lose a good amount of games like this throughout the season, but that’s the best case scenario if you’re hoping for a shot at Jack Hughes

 

[Irishguy42]

I like how Quinn has the Rangers playing, for the most part. PK needs work. Badly. Offense will come as the new DZ structure gets familiar to the players. Once they get into a groove of zone exits into zone entries, the talent will overtake from there.

Howden looking really good. Lettieri too. Chytil is great. Kids szn.

Screw the refs for that first Sabres goal and not calling Too Much Man.

These aren't Torts Kinda Guys.

 

[Jayan]

I honestly have no comment.

 

[LeetchisGod]

This season is about getting the kids experience and hopefully getting a high draft pick.

 

[Glen Sathers Cigar]

Hutton is the second coming of Jimmy Howard.

We played well at even strength. PK needs some work. Hank had another very strong game.

We just lack that top end offensive guys. I know people think he couldn’t finish but Nash was a guy who would pot a goal in a game like this. This was a game in the past where Nash would finish some of these chances that guys like Vesey can’t.

 

[NYR]

People complain about our D but our offense flat out sucks. They cannon score.

44 SOG against... Nuff said

 

[ReggieDunlop68]

I honestly have no comment.

A paradox.

 

[GeorgeKaplan]

Thought we outplayed them by a lot

Hutton plays well against us

Chytil was a beast. Howden looked really good. Fast is awesome.

Fast has been the best Ranger through the first two games IMO, this is the year he’s going to cement himself as more than a fourth liner

 

[Glen Sathers Cigar]

Oh and good thing we had McLeod and McQuaid out there, wouldn’t want Chytil to have to take any headshots.

Wait a second...

 

[Tawnos]

Three criteria

1.) Did they play hard? Check
2.) Did they do something to make us proud? Check. They kept up the pressure right until the end of the game, despite what could’ve been a defeated feeling as they couldn’t beat Hutton throughout the game.
3.) Did the young players do something good? Howden’s first goal and Chytil looked good. Thought Buchnevich looked good too.

It was another good night.

 

[mike14]

Also, I think Pionk has been worse than Staal across the 2 games and should sit for ADA tomorrow

 

[Rangerfans]

I thought we played really well. We don’t have top-end skill, but the goals will come around.

They played hard and they were the “better” team. Similar to the Nashville game.

Personally? I am looking forward to the over-dramatic, hyperbole, overreactions after game 2.

 

[PuckLuck3043]

They are going to be competitive in most games just like the first 2 but our lack of finish is going to cause a lot of agita.

 

[will1066]

Should change the d, though.

Staal and Pionk out. Ada and Hajek in. imo.

Honestly Shatty has been worse than pionk

 

[Valhalla]

A game of hockey was played tonight

I'd say more like half a game, or even a bit shorter than that...

 

[Ori]

A game of hockey was played tonight

If we only had Panarin this season..

 

[EdJovanovski]

We were the better team, should be happy with our performance in both the first two games.
1) Howden
2) Buchnevich
3) Skjei

 

[Glen Sathers Cigar]

Wait, why do we have 3 stars? We lost!

 

[Irishguy42]

Folks, before this game, Hutton had 4 GP against NYR.

In those games: 3 Wins | 1.45 GAA | .953 SV% (106SA/101SV)

He just doesn't like the Rangers, okay?

 

[Machinehead]

44 SOG against... Nuff said

We had 44 shots

 

[Tob]

If only there was some cosmic accountability of shit luck and misfortune. Two games where we had an expectation of like 2.7 out of 4 points and we end up with 0. Good team, Howden looking hot and ready, Quinn is doing well so far. We'll take the L and tank on.

As with usual NYR tradition, the team can't get a win for Henrik despite a stellar start to the season for the old man. Geogiev is going to face 18 shots tomorrow in Carolina and skate away with a 5-1 win.
