Post-Game Talk: devils @ Rangers -- 4/17/21

I hope Miller learned a lesson on the 4 on 4 goal. I have no idea why he thought he could stand directly in front of his goaltender.

Yea it looks like shesterkin let him know haha.

Probably trying to block a shot but he did more good than bad. Was he responsible for Subban being wide open?

wouldn't think a defenseman would be responsible for covering another defenseman even at 4 on 4, should be the winger or center...

Seems like a rookie mistake kind of thing where he's just off his mark positioning wise and not totally at the right angle

I get what he was trying to do, but he has to be more aware. He wound up setting a screen that Kreider would have been proud of.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

So the Rangers have 4 players at almost a PPG and Mika is on a 68 point pace.

Cant we just call usa Buch Paul?

 

[duhmetreE]

Cant we just call usa Buch Paul?

You mean Butch?

I'm really curious to see how his game translates in the playoffs. I still have my reservations but he's been good 5v5 and with his added 2way game... It'd be nice to be surprised

Got news for you, folks, that guy at the top of the list is no f***ing Jannetty.

That's Owen.

Wow panarin had an awful game i guess.

Seriously, the formulas are broken af for these charts. Why bother posting this useless charts game after game. It just shows how awful some advanced stats are for hockey

 

[SnowblindNYR]

BTW, the Rangers were 5th in the league last year at 3.32 goals per game and this year they're 6th right now at 3.30 goals per game.

They were more consistent last year though, didn't have the goal outbursts last year and didn't have any shutouts and this year they have 3. But comparing the goals against would be comical.

In particular the problem is that a single game is such a small sample that it blows your random error through the roof.

I don't know why people who are proficient in stats share single game charts. It's like presenting a quantitative study with an "N" of six and trying to draw causal inference.

Kids did nothing, Fox 0 points, shestys beautiful GAA ruined.... 2/10 win

No win is a 2/10, sorry. Shesty still has 2.28 GA and .925 save %.

Rangers actually have 5 SO's this year.

I meant they got shutout 3 times this year and 0 times last year, I was talking about offense. My bad.

Pretty sure hes just kidding lmao

 

[SnowblindNYR]

Would losing tomorrow be acceptable since we'll have Georgiev in net? I feel like before the Islanders laid an egg twice we would have been ok with 6 points out 8 in these 4 games. Psychologically it's just really hard to beat a team 4 times in a row.

 

[Alluckks]

Devils will get moved to Quebec before their team makes the playoffs again

Laughable franchise, useless fanbase, incompetent management, lousy rival

I came into this PGT in a good mood

I don’t know why we even do PGTs anymore.

Guys stop talking about other boards. It’s lame.

That's the only way we can vent about stupidity on other boards. Otherwise we'd be trolling.

Other boards? What about this board?

I have literally been unlearning everything I know about hockey.

 

[aufheben]

Also the irony of talking about how other boards talk about other boards on your own board is embarrassingly ironic.

No, it won't be acceptable because they are still the much better team regardless of who is in net. The playoffs are still a longshot and we need all the points we can get especially with Boston playing well.

Probably took an hour at most.

Probably took an hour at most.

At this point I’m unlearning things that aren’t even related to hockey.

The clutch is the middle pedal, right?
