Post-Game Talk: Bye Son

[mandiblesofdoom]

That pass by Mika from behind the net was Gretzky-esque. Plus, that is the second time he did it in the last few games.

It was a good pass & a good play by him. It was also a terrible play by Buffalo's goalie. He was in another time zone by the end.

 

[Flan the incredible]

It was one of the best lines in the league

And Chytl just magically had no points on the beat line in hockey. Sorry he did nothing on that line. Panarin was carrying him.

It's a bad look for the league when the best team in the league 30 games in has *checks notes* every player suck.

Not everyone sucks on Vegas. Just Brett Howden.

 

[tlk]

There is currently an NHL team that if they were to play just .500 hockey for the rest of the season they will finish with 97 points.

Thus more likely to make the playoffs than to miss out with that.

They might have to start thinking about managing TOI of their core somewhere down the stretch.

Even if that's the case, the line was much better when Chytil was on it.

i agree, id rather see everyone in here put on their blindfolds and pom poms and pretend we dont have serious issues with this defensive corps on this team and then be all surprised when we get freight trained in the playoffs again.

"Freight trained". They lost in 7 to the Devils, scored the same amount of goals as the Devils in the series and were 1 goal away from taking a 3-0 lead in the series. Miserable fans like you make this board unbearable.

I'm talking about record wise, should I change the post it would have the same exact meaning I promise.

did you watch the games?

PPs can go cold, or not get their opportunities to shine. We’ve seen it happen in the playoffs before. 5 on 5 is guaranteed to be there, and if you can outplay your opponents in it then you don’t need to count on a PP cashing in at a high rate. If the PP slows to 15% (which can easily happen when teams tighten up and play the same team in the playoffs) and let’s say you get 3 PPs a game, then that’s less than a PP goal every 2 games. Risky business in a 7 game series

 

[hardnosed]

Who cares, gave Igor time to shine in OT making some amazing saves and giving the crowd and fans some nice moments and the OT goal was much more exciting than winning in regulation, idk what you're talking about. They also played the Oilers yesterday in a rough game for 2 periods before getting dominated.

This might have been the best thing to happen to Igor.

 

[ecemleafs]

did you watch the games?

yeah. we pummeled them in a few games. they pummeled us in a few games. ended up losing 4-3.

 

[PuckLuck3043]

did you watch the games?

Did you? The Rangers scored 15 goals in the 3 games they won. Now the losses were not good but lets not make it seem like it was a sweep or an easy series for the Devils.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

did you watch the games?

Yeah I did, 6 of them. They were 1 goal away from a 3-0 series lead. The tying goal in game 3 came in a questionable PP. That call doesn't get made we're likely up 3-0 in the series allowing 2 goals against.

game 2 was ok i guess. game 1 we won because vanecek was awful. game 6 we should not have won. the rest of the games we were embarrassed.

While the opportunities argument I agree with, 5 on 5 can cool down just as much if not more.

He was but that's part of the game. We were very close to being up 3-0 in that series.

It works because no one is expecting it....I'd bet 85% of his teammates are just as surprised.

 

[Machinehead]

In sure their analytics are better than ours.

Yes LMAO

You’re hired, Giannone you’re on MLS duty now cya

Somehow we won game 1 5-1 where the Devils scored their only goal on a penalty shot in garbage time because of the goalie. Oh and Vanacek suck thatxs the Devils weakness. A goalie is part of the team.

C'mon guys, it's Christmas.

A very important part. It's just an excuse some use to make their point.

C'mon guys, it's Christmas.

You started this.

A time to air grievances

I just said we sucked tonight which we did. Tomorrow is another day.

 

[Machinehead]

I think we need to make some improvements which is a pretty cold take.

I can't believe we're still arguing over whether or not we played well against the Devils. We lost. We lost for a reason. We should make some upgrades to give ourselves a chance.

It doesn't mean the team is hopelessly bad.
