Fast does not belong on the top 2 lines and looked awful offensively, but he made a bunch of good defensive plays tonight. He butchers those scoring chances, but at least he saves the rest of that line defensively fwiw.

Fast is on pace for 36 points with 7 minutes and 52 seconds of powerplay time all year.
To put that in perspective, Brett Howden has over 18 minutes. Brendan Lemieux has nearly 60 (!!!!) minutes.
One bad night, and the memes start right back up.

Gotta be honest but I don't see Hank as a guy who is going to be a front office type...I just don't. He seems more like a guy who'll be a fashion designer or something like that once he calls it quits but who the hell knows.
You and I and everyone knows he wants to retire as a Ranger as a player and he won't be accepting any trade to another team so whether or not he remains with the team in some capacity is a question for another time.
Bottom line is our goaltending situation is likely the envy of the entire league as indicated by us for us even considering seriously trading Georgiev. And as I said on the game thread earlier, for us to potentially have another elite goalie for another 10+ years like Shesterkin looks very much like he's going to be, would likely be unprecedented.
We just need to win a damn Cup or two to make all this uber goaltending of ours mean something. I'm pretty confident we will as this rebuild of ours has gone pretty damn good and I'm sure if that does occur, Hank whether or not he's in the organization or not at the time will always be considered one of the greatest Rangers of all time even if he wasn't the goalie who led us to another Cup or two.

He also has 36pts playing on a line with Artemi Panarin
Skjei is a dman with 22pts with no PP time but I don’t see many praising him for that

Don’t look now but we have the 6th most regulation wins in the NHL this season. With 2-3 games in hand on the teams ahead of us. Only teams with more regulation wins in the East are Boston, Washington & Tampa.

Also the gratuitous power plays granted the trailing team. Wtf.

Strome gets credit for being with Panarin and their "particular chemistry." Fast get criticized for it.
The difference between Fast and Skjei is that Fast is a winger and he's better at defending.

We're also tied for the 8th most regulation losses. We just haven't been to overtime a lot.
Our 7 regulation ties is the fewest in the NHL.

This guy Fox played at an All Star level those first two periods - he broke up a 3-1 by himself and gained possession in the process
he’s a bona fide stud

Even with a proper 3-2-1-0 point system, we'd still be on the outside looking in.
Though only 6P behind Philly with 2 games in hand, win those and we're even.

If we're going to call out a bad pinch that didn't even lead to a chance against what about Fox' near primary assist on a WPG goal when he passed the puck to a WPG player wide open right outside our crease? Shesty bailed him out big time there.
*Not saying that Fox didn't have a great game overall.

Fast is brutal on the top 2 lines. He can never handle those perfect passes that Panarin gives him all the time.

As much as ADA has raised his price tag this season, I think we’re seeing the other side of the coin with Lemieux. A great guy to have on the team and one of my favorites. But the contract negotiation should be pretty cut-and-dried.

There are moments when you watch Chytil and Kakko and its easy to get excited about the future. Not every player is going to burst onto the scene like McDavid.
Hopefully, Gorton makes the right moves going forward to put these guys a position to win.
Same goes for Shesterkin, Fox and Lindgren.

Indeed. I agree. Chytil has been excellent for weeks. Not constantly generating chances but he has been consistently noticeable and dangerous. Kakko the past few games has been way more decisive and direct. He is taking better lines to pucks and then getting himself into shooting position. Almost a night and day thing. It’s very exciting to see the progress with both.
How they are 9 points out of a playoff spot with that being the case makes almost no mathematical or common sense.

I’ll believe he scores more than 30 this year when I see it
He was well above pace to do it last year and then he fell off the earth
Staal was better than ADA last night.
Also, DiGi is great for what he does. Why the f*** was he buried in Hartford until recently?

We need someone with a Star Fox/Fox McCloud username. Blues have a Falco Lombardi lol
If you get this, you rock!
