Post-Game Talk: Calgary Flames at New York Rangers 2/24/15

[Raspewtin]

Tanner Glass' line were the only negative possession forwards

 

[nevesis]

Skapper against the Yotes?

Not against that one bit.

 

[LaffyTaffyNYR]

gotta love how MSL took that hit (clearly a penalty) in the neutral zone to make the play to get the puck deep..

 

[Fataldogg]

Good bounce back by Talbot.

Cam supporters can't say anything about the defense tonight. Masterful performance by the D. Probably the easiest game either Talbot/Skapski faced since Lundqvist fell to injury.

Still, can't fault him for stopping generally easy shots. It's a good game. He didn't let up 3+ goals again. I'm happy with that.

This was a defensive showcase between Calgary/Rangers. Looked like a playoff game. Great effort by both teams. Ramo was amazing. Deserved better than 3rd star.

D Moore is probably like oh ****ing help me already Sather.

 

[DanielBrassard]

Girardi and McD were fantastic. Solid overall effort from everyone.

 

[Raspewtin]

I want to keep Oscar Lindberg up a little longer. He was solid tonight. Big hit, had a few chances, solid positionally

 

[NYRangers84]

I said early in the game thread that Cam will get a shutout today.

I saw that, WTG! I also had a feeling he was going to get one, should have said something too LOL.

 

[LaffyTaffyNYR]

Hayes has been phenomenal over the last 2 months.

1 goal for support isn't so easy.. and Talbot made some great saves.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

“@NYRangers: #NYR reach the 80-point plateau in 59 games, which is tied for the 6th fewest games it has taken for them to do so in franchise history.â€

The 11-12 team only best that by 2 points.

 

[eco's bones]

The only thing I really didn't like about tonight was Nash having 'neck spasms' thing. Neck problems sometimes means concussions.

Anyway Talbot had to be good and he was. The Rangers did a good job of really limiting Calgary's chances--even with all their D coming forward to pressure the defense. A good defensive game by everyone on the Rangers.

Hayes with his first ever NHL game winner. Brassard with a great play on that. I thought Lindberg looked good. Miller with his first NHL fight.

We've hit 80 points with 23 games to go. We beat a desperate team that badly needed the points. This is a very good win.

 

[nevesis]

1 goal for support isn't so easy.. and Talbot still made some great saves.

He made big saves early in the 1st period on hard, tough shots. Solid performance.

Please, please, PLEASE keep Lindberg in for Glass when Nash comes back. I'm begging you AV. PLLEEEASEEEEE

there will be another player whoever it is by Monday at 3PM.

I can't see AV going with 3 kids in the bottom 6 in the Playoffs.

 

[17futurecap]

Someone just show AV the one 4th line shift without Glass on a loop.

4. It'd be Lindberg, Miller, Hayes, Fast.

Give me the 3 kids over Glass..

Hayes was 1st star for me. One of his best games as a pro. Talbot was solid end to end, though he still likes a few of his fat rebounds.

Our Dmen were sloppy early on but really came together in the 3rd period. McDonagh and Girardi gave their best performances in a while.

I noticed that Girardi and Klein switched pairings in the last couple of minutes. Was that a coaching decision or just caused by a failure to change?

Lindberg looked good every now and then but didn't get much time in the 3rd. Hopefully he will find another chance soon.

And Miller - please do not break your hand in a fight...

Really happy with the result. I sleep a contented man.

 

[LaffyTaffyNYR]

Rangers now lead the NHL in goal differential.

 

[Fataldogg]

1 goal for support isn't so easy.. and Talbot made some great saves.

Chances against and defense in front of him won't get much better. Again, you can't complain. Overall, 9.5/10 for the defense tonight. The 21 shots against is indicative of that. There weren't a lot of shots or chances. It's always tough to feel that pressure down 1-0, I agree, but he wasn't in a shooting gallery today.

It's actually refreshing to see him win a game where the Rangers don't score five for him.

forgot Fast, thanks

 

[Siddi]

Gratz to Cam. Bounceback game.

 

[Raspewtin]

Hayes was dominant along the boards tonight. Won every battle and constantly came away with the puck. Reminds me of Boyle's transition to winger.
