Post-Game Talk: #7 - Sharks @ Rangers

[CupWindow]

Great all around effort tonight.

We all knew this game was coming because Hank wasn't in net and for whatever f***ing reason they play better. Probably because they know Hank will bail them out.

He gets paid to do so.

All part of the gameplan.

The same type of gameplan where hall of fame cornerbacks don't get any safety help over the top. Whereas average corners do get help over the top.

I was just thinking this. Jumbo Joe called them soft, IIRC.

That was 4 years ago? Wow.

 

[darko]

Talbot who?

Exactly.

At some point Raanta will get Talbot treatment.

Rinse and repeat.

I was one of them. Gladly eating crow. Klein is playing like the polar opposite of how he did in the preseason

 

[RiceCooker]

Solid all around effort tonight.....nice to see them score some goals.

 

[eco's bones]

Of course Raanta would get the SO despite how ridiculous Henrik has been so far this season.

Like Fast and Stalberg getting goals after flubbing shots and Nash with a great shot and Kreider one timing a shot hit posts. Best to take what you can get.

Great 60 min effort from all the boys tonight. Nash played probably his best game to date. Although I feel like I barely noticed Brassard at all. Not gonna complain though as the team played great. Awesome debut for Raanta. Can we get Hank a shutout please?

 

[PromNite]

Zucc, Klein, Stepan GOAT since season started IMO

Eh, not really. I'd still deal Klein with Miller for another shooting forward.

Wanting to trade someone =/= thinking they are bad.

 

[eco's bones]

Our best game of the year by far. Pretty much everyone played well.

 

[I Eat Crow]

Mostly everyone played well, but Staal turned back the clock tonight. He looked like pre-eye injury Staal

Rangers beat the Sharks at MSG 4-0 exactly one year ago.

Sharks were missing two huge pieces in Martin and Couture, but that doesn't take much away from that effort. Hayes needs to calm down, loosen his grip a bit. Kreider and Nash...when they start scoring those top two lines could be more lethal than last year. They're much better equipped to spend time in the O-zone and score off the cycle, which they both did tonight (one PP).

McDonagh is a different player apart from Girardi.

He had moments, but I didn't think he was at that level tonight. Hopefully this is a building block game for him, sometimes confidence can go a long way.

Chemistry between Zucc and Nash, that's great. Stepan or Brass in the middle, that line will be dangerous. I think Zucc will have an excellent season

 

[Ail]

It's crazy that a backup goalie and a putrid defense can shutout a great offense

Any given Sunday

Yeah because one good game makes up for 5 putrid ones. Girardi is still a disaster.

What's crazy is that you think the games Henrik played were exactly like this one and he and Raanta made the same saves.

Every time someone says staal looks back to pre injury form.. he gets injuryed again.. ex: his next concussion in 2012 and then the eye injury.

I'll take it

 

[Fataldogg]

Best game of the year, by a mile, in my opinion. Solid defense, a lot of generated goal scoring opportunities. Very happy with this one.

You're the best
