Post-Game Talk: devils @ Rangers -- 4/15/21

Kravtsov looks a million times better then Lafreniere and Kakko. I wonder if he will be the best of the 3.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

Ranger fans can never deny bias when cursing off Lindy Ruff for doing what any logical coach would do. Lol.

I think most of us are mostly not serious. It's not Ruff's job to allow Kravtsov to score his first NHL goal. Still frustrating.

Whoever said Vally was coked up before the game.. The image of him and Johnny G. railing lines the whole night is one of the funniest things I could ever think of.

Igor may get a couple of Calder votes if he keeps it up

 

[chosen]

These are kinda f***in wonky because the game was over after 10 minutes, but nice bounceback game from Foxxy Grandpa.

Howden was better than Panarin, but not that much better.

I think a straight up playmaker with good offensive tools has an easier time transitioning into the league. Vitali slows things down in the offensive zone and makes plays. ALF and Kaapo play a different style of game that'll take more time. Plus Vitali is older.

Kravtsov looks a million times better then Lafreniere and Kakko. I wonder if he will be the best of the 3.

He's also 21 and will be 22 or close to it by the time Kakko and Laf's birthdays come.

Let's see where they are in two years.

 

[Crease]

Panarin is the best Rangers forward since Mark Messier. Already passed Jagr. Dude racks up multi point games in his sleep. Just needs a Cup at this point and he’s a Ranger legend.

 

[Black Aces]

Kravtsov looks a million times better then Lafreniere and Kakko. I wonder if he will be the best of the 3.

he is much older (in terms of development)

 

[Machinehead]

Howden was better than Panarin, but not that much better.

Yes. You clearly should have drawn that conclusion.

 

[Off Sides]

@SnowblindNYR picking to partake with Vally over Michelle Gingras was also funny

 

[NYR94]

What was the Rangers' record without Bread? Without that leave of absence they could be sitting in a playoff spot tonight.

I want Vally to interview Blackwell and see who blinks first

 

[chosen]

Yes. You clearly should have drawn that conclusion.

Just reading the chart. It's not that difficult.

Blackwell is probably his connect

 

[Siddi]

@Siddi is the one you are looking for.

I never once cared about shutouts. I am happy to see that he keeps focus for 60 minutes finally.

 

[Machinehead]

Just reading the chart. It's not that difficult.

We won. Why do you have to start in?

All the chart says is that, based on shot locations, the Rangers had a better scoring chance differential with Howden on the ice than with Panarin on the ice, again, probably because the game was over for about 50 minutes of play. Despite that, Panarin basically made three goals by himself and nobody is suggesting you ignore that.

Game score, which is compiled by the same people, says Panarin had one of his best games of the season:

 

[eco's bones]

Congrats to Igor on his first er.....second shutout.

Panarin has played 32 games this year. He’s been named first star of the game 7 times—second star of the game twice and third star of the game 7 times which is to say of the 32 games he’s played he’s been one of the three stars 16 times or in half the games he’s played win, lose or draw which seems to me pretty insane.

Congrats to Lindgren as well on getting the monkey off his back.

"What is blinking?" Vally and Blackwell, probably

We went 4-5. None of the losses were really close

 

[FireGerardGallant]

Yes. You clearly should have drawn that conclusion.

That poster literally lives to be a contrarian. Im not even sure he'd agree the sky is blue

 

[SnowblindNYR]

The rule is beyond dumb in the first place.

It was an NHL overreaction to one badly blown offside call. That said, I think this year we're like 1-1 in those and the 1 we took away gave us an extra point (Philly) and this one didn't have an impact in the standings.

Removed due to lack of interest

Solid team W. Sneakily gave up more chances than it felt like.

The Good:
1. Panarin and Strome really have a thing going. It's awesome.
2. Really good game from the top 4 D - Fox, Trouba, Miller, Lindgren all w strong games.
3. Shesty played really well overall. No shutouts to 2 in a row, gotta love it.
4. Was pretty surprised when I saw the #s that Zibanejad

The Not as Good:
1. Can't believe that beautiful VK goal was disallowed.
2. Think Kakko has been fighting it recently. He was consistently one of our better forwards for a long time, but since being demoted and moved to the kid line his game has taken a bit of a dive IMO even despite chipping in on the scoresheet a few times. He had some nice moments with the puck on his stick in the o zone but didn't spend a lot of time there.
