Post-Game Talk: #29 - 12/8/19 | RANGERS @ golden knights

[The S5]

By the way...

From the NYR Stat:

Over the last 11 games, #NYR have allowed 2.27 goals against per game and have successfully killed off 85.4% of their opponents' power plays (previously had allowed 3.61 goals against per game and killed off 72.9% of opponents' power plays in the first 18 games of the season).

they’re getting better.

Quinn's fault!

I haven't read the whole thread, but we all agree that Lemieux got high sticked in the chin and then started magically bleeding from his nose, right?

I believe that Reaves' stick pushed Lemieux's own stick into this face.

I thought it was Reeves' stick. On the LV broadcast while it was being reviewed they were just talking about Lemieux putting his hand up in the face of Reeves, like that would somehow negate the high stick. I mean if Lemieux hit himself with the stick, even if it was caused by Reeves, it's not a penalty, right? I thought the purpose of the review was just to determine whose stick caused the injury, and nothing else.

 

[Kovalev27]

It was reaves stick. They even reviewed it to check.

 

[mrhockey193195]

But Lemieux never got hit in the nose. It hit him in the neck/chin. And he started bleeding from the nose.

My take - he either hit his nose on the ice when he went down, or did something more sinister when he was on the ice covering his face.

And I thought "blading" only happens in pro wrestling.

Rangers are one 4 or 5 game winning streak away from going into the 2nd half really giving themselves a legit shot at being a contender for playoff spot. They haven’t been able to put it together for a real stretch but it’s right there for the taking.

More than 2/3 of the league is a "contender for a playoff spot". Why do we want a worse pick?

 

[ElLeetch]

but Pionk is still *way* better than Trouba, right?

Georgiev?

Imagine how amazing it would be to watch Rangers Playoff hockey again! It’s been too long.

This post has the foresight of a carnival gold° fish.

Poor Pionk is getting thrown into false analogies haters never made.

The haters said ADA was a better defensemen than Trouba.

 

[True Blue]

Skjei????

I am not saying they are looking to trade him, but if Gorton received a call and the price was right, I have no doubt that he would be traded.

I think we are like 12-7-3 the last 20. That is good for sure. That is 100 pts pace over 82. But we got some catching up to do from the start.

But sure, if we can have a really good stretch we could get into a good position.

I think we need to get great goaltending the rest of the way. If Geo and Hank both don’t have really good finishes to the season I doubt it will be enough.

I think ADA goes before Skjei

 

[True Blue]

You don't think a Mckegg could fill Fast's spot? Or maybe Gettinger? I like Fast but not over the others we need to sign. We will miss Kreider's speed the most. And his net front presence.

I think that neither McKegg nor Gettinger are fit to carry Fast's jockstrap. One is an at best 4th liner while Gettinger is a fringe player currently. The point was not whether or not someone likes or dislikes Fast. The point was what happens to this team's performance post TDL. My statement remains that if the team looses Kreider and Fast, performance will likely go south for the rest of the year. You are greatly underestimating what they do on the ice and the lockerroom.

Somebody else will likely be traded also cause we won't get squat for Kreids and Fast.

Kreider will likely get you a return that will look like what Hayes got and if Boyle can net two second round picks, what can Fast do?

 

[True Blue]

I think ADA goes before Skjei

If ADA is becoming a 20 goal, 60 point defensemen, Gorton will move others before moving such a player. There have just not been that many of them over the last 10 years.

 

[True Blue]

It's a glaring hole right now. Lindgren has been the best of the bunch, but it's not really saying much.

Wow. Now Lindgren is a problem? Seriously?

 

[duhmetreE]

btw it ceases to amaze me on how bad/slow/stiff Marc Staal has become.

He's not an NHL player. You could think the game as great as anyone but if you're not physically capable... you're not an NHL player.

 

[Stubu]

Love HF. Where tearing it up in every league but the NHL is greater than tearing it up in the NHL.
Puh-tenn-shuuulll...

Everytime someone starts with loving and harmony, well, sometime it doesn't go there.

Kill irony with fire. Let's just fight.

He had to stick his arm out to interfere Ryan Reaves as they chased the puck for an icing. Ryan Reaves he had to interfere.

At least Kakko is scoring at a decent clip.

You can teach anyone with pro-level skill how to play the right way. You can't make guys score.

Wasn't he shooting a few times? I only see the highlights but it was the first time in a while I'm not telling the screen bad things I regret

IT SHOOTS THE PUCK OR IT GETS THE HOSE and so forth

Yeah he let it rip a few times. His shot needs a bit of polish but I don't mind his selection.
