Post-Game Talk: #54 - 02/09/20 | Kings vs. Rangers

Weak goal. I know no kicking motion but he clearly kicked it in.

 

[LionsHeart]

I really liked the addition of Di Guiseppe with Kakko and Chytil. That line looked very good tonight, and that pass from Chytil and finish by Kakko was fantastic. Hoping those two continue to build chemistry. They’re incredibly important to the future of the franchise.

Also Shesterkin came in with a lot of hype, and boy has he delivered so far.

 

[Svenhart2008]

Well, Quinn just all but said that the goalie carousel is over and they'll ride Shesty to try and win as much as possible....

 

[aufheben]

MFW Shesterkin is actually as good as HFNYR said he’d be

Good. Shesty is the number 1 guy. I also want to keep Georgiev. If Hank really wants to play then he needs to agree to be traded

Must be such a mindf*** to be playing all season / for years and then all of sudden get ousted by a rookie. Need a good head to deal with this.

LA plays a heavy game and IMO they always seem to get away with a lot. Igor was outstanding--our best player tonight. Chytil really good too. I also thought Tony had a very good night. Those were my top 3--though I think the last 4/5 games Kakko's been a lot better and he got the game winner tonight. DiGiuseppe is a good player in a bottom 6 role. He was really good too.

I mean, it's not like Hank didn't see this coming. Igor has been groomed to take over for him for years now.

Can someone explain why PDG was in Hartford all year? This dude brings almost exactly what we've needed. We have gone with an awful 4th line all season and we had a dude down there who can take the body a little bit, work hard, and actually make some plays with the puck? I'm happy hes here now but damn....

 

[eco's bones]

Makes sense. I know the Rangers want to make the playoffs--however realizable that is. And what this says to me is the Rangers want to go on a streak and if a goalie can get hot he's going to go with that guy and the other goalies are going to watch. I expect Igor against Winnipeg.

 

[PuckLuck3043]

too bad we waited 2/3 of a season with the black hole of a 4th line before we gave him a chance.

Exactly. This is on Quinn that we were subjected to Haley, McKegg, Smith garbage for so long.

 

[FultonReed]

Hahaaaaaa screw you, Alec Martinez

 

[Zibanejbread]

IGOR!

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

How many loser points has this team earned this season? 3? Thats why we will miss the playoffs. Teams ahead of us have fewer RW but they get to overtime. Islanders go to OT every single night lol.

 

[FultonReed]

guys, seriously, I love Filip Chytil

 

[Crease]

Is that officially a wrap on the Lundqvist era?

 

[Gresch04]

If all Igor ever does is beat LA every time he'll be my favorite player ever.

To be fair, he had a slow start to the season down in Hartford and wouldn't have been the obvious call-up then, even if Quinn was inclined to sit Smith or Haley.

 

[mrhockey193195]

Igor is reminding me of Hank with his cross-crease pushes and ability to change directions so easily and explosively. Best two goalies I've ever seen at that were Hasek and Hank. Igor already is astoundingly good.

 

[mrhockey193195]

BTW I wasn't in the GDT but did anyone else notice right around the 10 min mark of the 2nd period, PDG creates a turnover at the kings blueline and dumps it in instead of passing to Buch who was open in the high slot...Buch got pissed and started banging his stick on the ice.

I’d be interested to know what the catalyst was for Quinn saying they’re essentially done with getting everyone a game. Shestyorkin has looked every bit as advertised from the moment he arrived

That to me signals something (a trade) will be happening sooner rather than later

losing to buffalo will do that
