Post-Game Talk: city of tobo, jovo & bozo

Is the rule that it has to be a breakaway? If so I think it's too strict because you can still have an open lane to the net that would be an automatic goal without a breakaway.

Nope, just no opposition player between them and the goal

Should have been a goal:

The 4th line stunk ass tonight. As did Harpur. Both those issues will be corrected soon

Harpur has been ass since the extension. He must be upgraded at the deadline.

Oh and per usual the officiating sucked.

 

[Cuckoo4Kakko]

We have something cooking with Kreider and Trocheck. Get them somebody besides Badrow.

It’s almost like putting Krav there and Goodrow on line 4 solves 2 problems in the lineup. Weird.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

You're right about Halak, the praise he was getting was over the top. Shesterkin has not been great but I'd still take him over almost any other goalie in the NHL.

It hurts how much better Sorokin is this year. Shesterkin has no consistency. Great rookie year (albeit short), shit second year, all time great third year, shit fourth year. The guy has the talent but is mentally really really weak. Even last year his feelings got hurt because the crowd in Pittsburgh chanted his name in a mocking tone and he completely shit the bed in games 3 and 4. The guys has million dollar talent and a 5 cent head.

100% by the letter of the law. I wonder if the ref didn't know the rule. This was clear as day.

Gallant hates Kravs. I could see him being traded at the deadline.

If we're being honest the entire playoff run was a step down from his regular season. It certainly wasn't like the days of Lundqvist single handedly carrying the Rangers deep.

Good.

If this year is shit, there’s a LOT of worse than shit goaltending going on. Probably more than 3/4 of the league.

I don't think he's a top 1/4 goalie in the league this year. He's just kind of there. I can't think of one game he stole and I can think of several he's blown. Part of it is because this is a better team than last year though when they NEEDED him to steal games.

These refs suck!!

Good.

The hell? Lmao.

Dude rocked a .929 save percentage in the playoffs and would have been our Conn Smythe winner. Would have been Hank's 3rd highest SV% in the playoffs and the highest one he had with out Torts.

Insufferable PGT tonight

Could you imagine if we lost?

 

[JRinNYC]

Insufferable PGT tonight

Cause of the 8PM start!!

 

[SnowblindNYR]

BTW, the fact that the Rangers are top 3 in the league in goals against with average at best goaltending this season (including Halak in this) is a very good sign but they need last year's Shesterkin or something similar to make noise in the playoffs. They're talented but there are more talented teams out there.

 

[PuckLuck3043]

Insufferable PGT tonight

We have graduated to not only bitching when they get less than 2 points to bitching when they do get 2 points. 18-4-3 in the last 2 months and yet people expect perfection every night.

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

Each of the top 3 lines scored and the Kid line had 2 goals.

Miller had 3 points and should have had 4.

All of this happened and the game still sucked. I'm not sure what the f*** was going on on that 3rd goal against but it looked like the refs completely f***ed that one up but pretty much the entire team was asleep tonight.

 

[EdJovanovski]

Krav does have a flair for the dramatics, I think this season might all be a buildup to him coming out of nowhere in the playoffs to put on one of his signature dominant playoff performances and win the Conn Smythe

The joke on here has always been that if we won the Cup in 7 people would be in the PGT complaining that we should have done it in 6...

I think you just refuted your own point lmao.

Lol they don't have league average goaltending, stop it.

I could not for the life of me understand why everyone was up in arms over that. They were even whining about it on the main board. I'm a simple man I turn on the game when John Giannone tells me to and don't question it.

Great teams wrap it up in 5.

Goaltending is mediocre, the team actually plays pretty good defense despite what people say. And I will admit Igor's good on high danger chances but gives up softies all the friggin time, it's infuriating. Also Igor is above average but not by a lot and Halak is below average for the most part despite playing better and being on a 6 game winning streak. Georgiev had similar streak last year and was awful.

 

[bobbop]

I thought Trocheck played really well tonight

Shesterkin is 22-8 with a .918 save % and 2.45GA. Those are good numbers. It's hard to duplicate what he did last year. The 3rd goal he allowed was trash though.

Yea I dont get it boring game but we controlled it the entire time and deserved to win. Reading here sounds like we lost 5-0
