Post-Game Talk: fly

[Anthony5967]

Everybody ripping Chytil when he came closer to scoring than Mika and Panarin. Mind boggling.

 

[Richard Banger]

On the bright side it looks like Igor got his Mojo back after the rough start.

 

[duhmetreE]

When all else fails..... bench Laffy.

 

[Wtp99]

That was a good comeback anyway. Igor still kept us in the game. Poor officiating again. All of the top teams have been through periods like this. On to Tuesday

 

[Chaels Arms]

Teams might finally start to be figuring Fox out on the PP. You really can just leave him wide open wherever and he's never going to take the shot himself.

FWIW, Kreider and Fox I don't think like to do shootouts. Vatrano 1/9 in career. I don't think Copp has had an attempt before. The next best options were Laf and Chytil. Maybe KAM. I go Laf first there but whatever. Chytil's been solid lately and I guess Gallant decided to give him the nod for it.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

He was the only reason we even reached o.t..but you be you angry bird

Hilarious dominate the team all game and he put us down behind the 8 ball with two weak ass goals in the first. Oh yay he made a couple of nice saves. Georgiev does that too, gives up horrible goals and then make a nice save here or there. Inexcusable.

 

[TheDirtyH]

Panarin hasn't been this engaged in a long while. He's been the best player on the ice, in all games since Strome went out.

We just can't finish and have gotten lazy on back checks/defense. The 3rd goal allowed was egregious by Fox.

I thought he was our worst player tn

He's fine.

He wasn't gonna finish with a .950 and was due for a bad stretch.

 

[Shesterkybomb]

If we have any plans of being a playoff team the lines need to resemble this, Chytil, Gauthier and Hunt have no offense to their game I can't handle our 3rd line being a black hole anymore.

Kreider Zib Vatrano
Panarin Strome Copp
Laf Goodrow Kakko
Motte Rooney Chytil

He stopped like 6 breakaways. Geo would of given up 5 goals this game

 

[WojtekWolski86]

Who knew Strome was the +10 PP buff even if he does nothing and poses no threat.

 

[Glen Sathers Cigar]

Scored the first goal and had the primary assist on the tying goal. I’ll take that from the worst player.

Fox is not very good at defense.

 

[Richard Banger]

I think a lot of fans are use to Hank being God mode for a super long stretch. I think Igor is a little more human than Lundqvist.

 

[Machinehead]

Fox is not very good at defense.

He was the best defensive player in the league last year.

That year clearly spoiled people.

 

[Kovalev27]

Hoping hoping that’s the last game we have to play without Kakko Rooney and Strome?

Sounds close

People slag on Strome but he helps Fox a lot along that wall and Fox hasnt looked the same on the pp since his injury.

He expects shutouts every game.Don't even waste your time.

 

[TheDirtyH]

I feel like I watched a totally different game than everybody here lol oh well

 

[Wtp99]

8 points to eliminate the Islanders.
1 point to eliminate Columbus
Washington has a problem: 18 to eliminate the Islanders
11 to eliminate Columbus

Nah he just really hate when great goalies give up soft goals. But it happens to the best goalies.

Well he's horrible now.

definitely! more or kess sums up his season imho

I don't know if I would agree with that.

Even with this rough patch, this is a better season than Hank ever had. Hank never approached numbers like that over ~55 games.

Hank was all about consistency. We only won one Vezina because he was rarely the #1 best goalie in the league over any 82 game stretch.

The thing is, #1 always changed while Hank was always #2 or at worst, #3. That's pretty unheard of for a goalie, except Hasek.

Hasek was Igor's peak with Hank's consistency.
