Post-Game Talk: #2 - Rangers @ CBJ

[Algernop Kreider]

Lindberg = Eichel + McDavid

+Panarin

 

[Marty Party]

Awesome ending. Kudos.

It seems to me that the Rangers have done this kind of thing a number of times in the last 3-4 years. It's like last year there was a game against Minnesota we were complete dog **** for two periods and down 4-0 and then we come back and score 5 goals in the third to win the game---and we had a game like that against the Islanders last year. There were probably two or three other times as well last year.

We've got a resilient team. Very good character throughout the lineup. The Rangers don't give up even in awful situations. Rangers are good at turning almost certain defeat into victories--maybe better at it than any other team in the league. Tonight is another case in point.

Lindberg really impressive. Making good defensive plays, strong on the PK, scoring key goals as well. Doing everything and more right now. Rest of the team needs to pick it up though. Lundqvist on top of his game early on, all of the goals allowed so far he hasn't had any help on. Columbus is going to want to return the favor tomorrow night and spoil the home opener, the Rangers better be prepared. Outside of the 1st period against Chicago and the crazy final minutes tonight, the offense hasn't shown much of a pulse. Nash and Brassard need to find their game, pronto.

Lindberg is a pleasant surprise. Sorta like Prucha back in 05.

 

[Mikos87]

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.

Ironic part is that there is some speculation out there that the Bruins might blow it all up and trade Chara (NMC) and Rask.

Was reported by Eliott Friedman that the Bruins are looking into this and won't hesitate to ask Chara to waive his NMC.

The team that's interested in Chara? CBJ.

If BOS has a game or two like the one they just had, expect them to melt it down.

No point paying Rask, Kreiji, Chara $7M+ to be on a bottom feeder.

Haha, fot a feeling he will bw more than that

Congrats to AV on being the fastest coach in NYR history to coach his team to 100 wins.

100/165

Could you imagine if Oscar wasnt on this roster at start of year cause of glass?!

 

[mti79]

First goal predictions.

Wow, what a game that was. Hopefully the boys carry over the emotion tomorrow. Score early and get back in their heads.

With that said, who is scoring the first Rangers goal in the home opener and when.

I'm saying Rick Nash at 2:12 of the first.

i watched the highlights but fox sports commentator ruined the last three goals, he was devastated and it made me sad too

 

[eyedoc]

Was great to see the team respond to McDonough's delay of game mishap and turn the game around. They rallied and Bobrovsky fell apart.

Great start to the season, now lets open up MSG with a win tomorrow night!

 

[5 4 Fighting]

Kevin, You Connauton do that!

Yup. Even back to the 05-06 season. Remember Sykora's last second goal off his helmet against STL? Remember Dominic Moore's last second tying goal from behind the net on Luongo?

That's lived on in the Rangers "culture" since then, and particularly in this team. This core group has a flair for the dramatic, no panic at all. I think their light personalities help with that as well. Just seems like a laid back, goofy locker room.

With this team, I never count them out of any game.

 

[TheDirtyH]

why is our home opener on the second night of a back to back?

anyway, I thought McDonagh had a noticeably good game. He made a lot of good plays with the puck, some bad, but was very engaged. He's gotta tap into that more often, seems like the captaincy has had him reign his emotions in a bit. Jagr, Drury, Callahan. All good captains by my estimation. None great. All pretty flatline personality wise. Hope that McDonagh learns how to be a more emotional leader, he's got it in him, no doubt.

Nash will never score again

 

[Amazing Kreiderman]

Kevin, You Connauton do that!

They were Bolling over. Everyone in Columbus is Saad. They're not very Prout of their team at the moment.

I'll shut up now.

 

[MysticLeviathan]

I think the whole team owes Henrik a Lamborghini.

Someone should go ask Tai Lopez, I hear he has 47 Lamborghinis in his Lamborghini account.

Nothing on the NHL.com front page.

 

[Machinehead]

It was 2-1 CBJ and then I'm like

 

[mti79]

Maybe Bob isn't worried about losing Game 1 and just really wanted the discount from Papa John's so he could get a snack when he gets to NY.

 

[Wolfy*]

Zucc promised to shoot more. He keeps that promise, and look...it turns into goals

 

[Machinehead]

My post-game thoughts are up

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

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

Zuccs first goal came with 2/3 of the 4th line on the ice. Nash looked a little more engaged, which isn't sayin much, and Brass is way out of sync.

Yeah, Brass has looked really bad. He also started last season very poorly, so let's hope he gets back to himself sooner rather than later.
