Post-Game Talk: #53 - 02/07/20 | sabres @ RANGERS

[Brooklyn Rangers Fan]

Two positives:

Kakko looked really good.
@Loffen should be making the next GDT.

 

[NYRangers0723]

Mika was atrocious in that last 2 mins as well. Holy crap.

all game he was awful. Yes he scored but it was only because Panarin gave him a great pass. Mika looked drunk

 

[Kovalev27]

I was wondering why the hell Lemieux was out there. Kreider had to have been exhausted to not be out there. That can be the only reason.

Kreider doesn’t get tired


However if he was tired take a timeout and get your best players back on the ice.

Didn't we take one shortly after 3-1?

 

[YoSoyLalo]

I know Deangelo is your boyfriend but he was not good tonight

 

[RGY]

Zibanejad has no answers for why they played this way. Not his job to have the answers. This is on f***ing David Quinn.

 

[PuckLuck3043]

If Kreider gets traded this team finishes bottom 6 to 8.

did we? I didn’t think we did maybe I missed it

Not for nothing but Georgiev has not been particularly impressive for quite a while at this point. He had that good game against the Islanders but other than that he’s looked pretty pedestrian with a quite a few stinkers. He had that hot stretch of 4 or 5 straight great starts but outside of that he’s very meh with some ups and a bunch of downs and I feel like there’s been more down than people like to acknowledge. A lot of hand waving because he’s young.

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

Mika had his worst game of the season and still ended with a 1 + 1. The mark of a true elite player.

 

[EdJovanovski]

Most our team wasn’t good. I don’t think he was outstandingly poor enough to justify benching the 5th leading scorer among dmen in the final minutes of a game when you need 3 goals

 

[will1066]

Why can't this team get desperate earlier in games?

This is why I don’t believe hank is here much longer. Because Gorton is asking for top 6 forwards for in essence an up and down back up goalie. Young with potential for sure but he is no superstar. Gorton just isn’t serious about actually trading him

The team was lacklustre in the first two periods. The game was given away there. This was one of those chase the game things.

Kakko has looked better in the last week or so though--more involved and getting more shots. Lately Fox has been our best D.

 

[Good Intentions]

I’m relieved Strome is exposing himself.

Better now than 5 weeks into a 5 year deal. I have no interest in bringing him back at any legitimate term or dollar. Hard pass.

 

[PuckLuck3043]

Really good question. Buffalo played last night and had to travel. No excuse to lose this one. None.

I think he’s hands down our best deadline trade chip and the player we should least want to commit to.

 

[JT Kreider]

Classic Rangers to have an ex player come back and wreck us

 

[n8]

Jimmy Vesey, GWG. That is all.

 

[NYRangers0723]

Agreed. I think we all admit that he had that one great stretch mostly because Panarin was absolutely on fire

 

[will1066]

I'm thinking the only way McKegg scores again with an actual goalie in the way is if we trade him at the deadline and he plays on his new team against us

 

[will1066]

Yeah I agree

 

[PuckLuck3043]

Kreider is our best deadline trade chip by a country mile but I still don't want him traded.

This team is basically a prix fixe menu

Pick one of

Alex Borscht Georgiev or Igor Stroganoff Shesterkin for soup
Bread or Saffron rice for accompaniment
Chris American beef steak Kreider or Fil beef Goulash Chytil
Adam NY cheesecake Fox or Jersey Tony's lobster tail

everyone else is a side of asparagus or corn.
