Post-Game Talk: Fish

[HockeyBasedNYC]

Regardless if the Pelech hit on Mika was intentional or not, Lavs take in the presser is him doing his job for the betterment of the team.

These teams may face off in the playoffs and theres another game against them this week.

Making a big deal about it puts the onus on the refs to keep a closer eye, even if its subconsciously.

 

[eco's bones]

What coming from behind to win as often as we have should tell us that the Rangers worst periods are first periods. As much as all the Rangers apparatchiks like to point out our coming from behind prowess if that's how it's going to be with all the comebacks you can't have the one without the other. We need to have shitty first periods to accomplish that.

Isles fans think Mika slew foot Palmieri. I can't argue with that too much but it looked to me unintentional in that his head and direction were straight towards an Isles defenseman waiting for the puck to come around to him at the point and that never wavered. I'm not in Mika's mind though and I'm not in Pelech's mind to say what he did was unintentional. That said hockey is a collision sport and getting even for bad hits is part of the game and if we can do it better than our opponents that just sucks for them. Whatever it might be round two between Rempe and Martin the next time or even round 1 between Rempe and Bertuzzo and I'd like to see Matthew knocking around their D all night long.

Wonder if Trochek gets anything

If we play them in the playoffs, count on losing at least one key forward. They are out to deliberately sabotage us.

For what? Getting mugged?

 

[Stugots]

12+ hours later and I’m still more annoyed by this loss than I should be. I just hate losing to the f***ing Islanders.

 

[Shesterkybomb]

Idiotic move leaving Rempe out vs Isles....basic hockey knowledge tells you to put him in.

Very understandable. They were absolutely not ready to play when the puck dropped. Saturday will be different.

 

[Machinehead]

Pelech better watch our or Rempe might fight Martin.

 

[ArPanet]

Darren Langdon?

Has triplet boys playing HS hockey somewhere in Canadia! So those jokes about 1 year having every puck in the 7th round finally has a chance of manifesting.

 

[Megustaelhockey]

Doubtful. He was very careful not to touch the ref or do anything weird with equipment or the like. It's not an Antoine Vermette situation all over again.

The referee sort of just nodded and let it go. At that point, he probably knew he missed it.

 

[Mike in Houston]

Why does it have to be different? Why can't we just smoke them from start to finish from time to time. Come out ready to play from the opening puck drop more often times than not.

 

[Fitzy]

Again, we are looking at this the wrong way.

A near meaningless game had 3 major injury scares, none of which turned out to be a long term concerns. That's the message here. We don't want another situation like Ryan Callahan breaking his leg against the Bruins.

Mika, Kreider, Lindgren should all get a game or two off in the squad rotation.

Coming in peace but in these Islanders Rangers matchup for several years now I’ve never seen these Rangers beat the Isles it was always the Islanders beating themselves.

That’s why I hope our teams face each other in early rounds. I like my teams chances because the problem they are having is fixable.

 

[majordomo]

I think the Ranger players KNOW this very well.

It would be nice if they acted like it.

 

[majordomo]

That same basic knowledge will tell you he wouldn't have last thru first period (if that long).

 

[Captain Lindy]

They do but during a very long season shit happens.


Looking at the replay of the Pelech hit on Mika, the scumbag didn't even check to see if Mika was alright. Just skates away after seeing him hurt on the ice. What a POS. They are out to hurt the players.

 

[Brutananadilewski]

That too is on Lavy.

Guy can hit, he can easily park his ass in front of the goalie and shove defenders away.

Hopefully, it doesn't get to that point, but if a player gets injured, you may have to utilize him more.

Better for him to get more minutes now.

 

[DelZottoHitTheNetJK]

That Pelech "collision" was the most accidentally on purpose shit I've ever seen.

Slick move by Pelech I'll give him that. Mika took a look to see if his path was clear and Pelech had forward momentum to go over the red line. Mika looked away, Pelech puts on the brakes to stand right in his way and Mika didn't get his head over in time.

Biggest problem with this game was Laviolette for not playing Rempe in such an important game. This is the very definition of the type of game you play Rempe in. Brodzinski is a quintessential non-factor out there.

Again, as I've said 300 times throughout this year. If Kreider and Zibanejad don't start producing 5 on 5 we're going nowhere. The Panarin line is going to get shut down at numerous points during the playoffs, it's just what good teams do.

I’d rather them get load management then have them floating around for the rest of the games .

I know Lindgren would never float but you get my drift.

It's always been that way. Their "identity" line made a career out of hitting guys in vulnerable positions. Islanders were looking to hurt our guys the entire game because they were pissed off about the Zibanejad "slewfoot" on Palmieri and Cuylle finishing his check on that spaz Horvat at the end of the 2nd, who shouldve been penalized for roughing. Pelech going right after Fox in the scrum tipped their hand. Dont tell the Islanders about the slewfoot on Roslovic in front of their net and Vesey having his skates taken out by Varlamov as a point shot was coming in.

Any update on Mika?

When your team constantly "beats themselves" your team sucks. Good teams don't constantly beat themselves. That's part of knowing how to win.

The Rangers beat themselves last night is what he shouldve said lol. It is funny that Islander fans wait until the last possible moment to say anything when we are chilling in a playoff spot and their team doesnt even have the peace of mind to cancel their post season vacations yet.

Any update on Mika?

He was on the bench at the end of the game. I bet he lost a few teeth in the collision.

 

[Cuckoo4Kakko]

Islanders fans getting loud is funny. They stunk all year. Congrats on the Flyers and Red Wings not trying. You will sneak in. Hang the banner. We have hopes of a deep run. Haven't gotten high or low for regular season games much this year.
