Post-Game Talk: #2 - Rangers @ CBJ

[DanielBrassard]

Amazing way to end the game, total chokejob by Bob.

3 goal outburst aside, there wasn't much sustained offensive pressure throughout the game and they struggled to generate offense off the cycle. Seems like another year where the team is going to lean heavily on scoring off the rush.

Seems like it. And I'm afraid our defense will be worse than last season, no Hunwick and a washed up Boiler

 

[NYRFANMANI]

Thank you for another brilliant night.

Every post brings me to tears laughin!

 

[Mac n Gs]

Gotta give G and Mac some credit: G made the poke to Hayes on his goal and McD made a great outlet pass to Brass to begin the sequence of the fourth goal

This CBJ team is built for the playoffs. That's gonna be a brutal series for whoever their opponent is. CBJ has to get there first, though.

Agree.

 

[RiceCooker]

I was hating the team until the last couple of minutes...I love them again lol.

They'll get there if Bobrovsky doesn't melt down in the final 2 minutes of the game.

This team looks like the SC winning Bruins team, just without the Chara on D.

4AM...

Always good to crawl to my bed after a W...

 

[Glen Sathers Cigar]

That game was hilarious. Columbus fans are hilarious. Bobrovsky is hilarious.


Our bottom 6 is really good. That 3rd line has been the best line so far. 4th line effective in their role and good at cycling and stuff, not being a detriment like when you know who is in the lineup.

Team D was better tonight than in Chicago.

Hank was amazing tonight.


Top 6 is having some chemistry issues, even though they're producing.



Idk, I'll take the 2 points and hope the team continues to gel while getting points.


Man, Stalberg-Lindbergh-Miller is a really good line.

3 stars:
1. Lindberg, kid is a savage
2. Miller, was always a net positive on the ice
3. Hank
3 (honorable mention/3.5) Zucc. Great to see him back, made some good defensive plays

3 not-stars:
1. Nash. Might want to tell him playoffs don't start for a while
2. Girardi
3. Boyle

 

[Amazing Kreiderman]

4 AM and now I can't sleep... Adrenaline pumping! Calderberg is the best name yet this entire year in the poll.

Lindberg, Stalberg, Lundqvist, Zuccarello and Fast (especially defensively) were amazing.

 

[mrhockey193195]

Once again, we win when we didn't play our best. That's a huge positive. Our game will come together.

They don't have the defense corps to say that they're built for the playoffs. I'm a believer in Murray, but what are they going to do to limit teams when they have to face Crosby/Malkin/Tavares/Ovechkin and goalies just as good as Bob?

Yeah it would be easier to sleep after a 2-1 loss.

 

[aufheben]

Meh game. They need to really drive the play more tomorrow night.

Victory french fries pending.

 

[TheDirtyH]

Top 6 is having some chemistry issues, even though they're producing.

One of Zucc's goals came when Nash and Brassard weren't on the ice.

20-21-36. I'm begging you, AV.

 

[Amazing Kreiderman]

Yeah it would be easier to sleep after a 2-1 loss.

These last few years have caused some issues. Not just winning, but sometimes winning by 1 goal, really gets me hyped up and I need to relax for an hour before I can sleep haha.

Oh, and for all the people who were so scared about their top-line:

RyJo, Saad, and Foligno all -2.

Hard not to crack a smile when the guy who had a cracked skull, was lame and couldnt speak 6 months ago score 2 goals in his 2nd game back touching!

 

[Guyute]

Marc Staal was a beast out there tonight!!

 

[bmoak]

McDonagh was somehow +4 in that game.

 

[bl02]

Last year it was fast this year quickly becoming Oscar. Gotta love the young guys contributing. Happy we didnt give up on JT. Kid obviously has good hands and offensive instinct we need. Also Klein played well. Our best defenseman in first two games

 

[Machinehead]

McDonagh was somehow +4 in that game.

Ended up even in corsi. He wasn't bad tonight.

Guy is a true ranger . So likeable . Great story

 

[SKS]

NHL.com had some funky 3 stars.....

1. King (yeah, I can see that)
2. Hayes (all right?)
3. McDonagh (say whaaaaat?)

 

[PlamsUnlimited]

Yikes, a weird game, would have liked to see more stability. We got owned for stratches

 

[mrhockey193195]

Very up and down game for him. Made some great plays, had some atrocious turnovers.
