Post-Game Talk: Flyers @ Rangers -- 4/23/21

[egelband]

Do the Flyers players all dye their facial hair orange? How odd.

 

[egelband]

Despite suffering in the on-ice metrics, Buchnevich had an excellent game score.

Wade Allison, your aim isn’t true.

This is Lafreniere’s world, and we’re just the NPCs

Zibanejad is playing insane, I hope we extend him for few more years.

Granted I haven't watched around the league, nor could I even imagine ANYONE being as dangerous on the PK than Mika.
Despite his so called "bewildered" season, he is a constant threat for a shortie AND breaks up more up ice rushes than not. Love my Mika, just wish he was a little more personable on camera.

 

[Larrybiv]

My choice would be Joe Micheletti personalized voicemail

Speaking of Joe, can we have an over/under for his "fabulous"?
I think that would be a fabulous experience.

Also, he refrained from saying fabulous one time, forgetting which word he used. Was it remarkable? Don't think that's in his vocab though. Lol.

Coming up "error" for me, anyone else, or is it just me?

 

[Larrybiv]

Jones is also a good skater. In the next couple games, I think he'll turn the wheels lose at least once and wow us a bit.

So, in other words he will give us "Leetch like" moments?

 

[The S5]

Wasn't Niedermayer a great skater?

Nothing wrong with Fox's skating. He doesn't have the top end speed of Niedermayer.

 

[ThirdEye]

I really want to see Fox make a late push against the playoff teams and really expose the whole Norris voting as a complete sham when Hedman wins it

edit: people will say he needs to wait his turn, but there’s no guarantee he will be able to replicate the season he’s having again. Like Hank and only winning 1 Vezina despite him arguably being the best overall goalie of his generation

Super skater....

Only 11 votes for Mika? He was our best player tonight. You guys are cray cray.

Tom Wilson is going to try and elbow someone? Ruh Roh!

 

[Blais to Win]

When Quinn is gone, they will sing songs of the season when he bravely sheltered the talented youth until we were almost mathematically eliminated.

Great player. Love having him. Just not worth the risk if around 9 mill a year for 6 years until he’s 35ish

I thought Buchnevich, Lafreniere, and Georgiev had better games. Zibanejad has looked better recently, but he’s still far off from where he should be.

 

[jay from jersey]

Just need to get rid of Howden and we’re set.

Yea to bad he didn’t make the switch 2 weeks ago. Might have given the cab driver who made the suggestion another 5 Bucks for the idea

 

[Cmox]

Nah it was late in a blowout win.

Edit: Just found it:

Daneyko was so depressed but the shot was so sick he couldn’t help to compliment it.

 

[Larrybiv]

I remember when he was on Ottawa, playing 4th line as a youngster. Playing under the team shadows of Spezza, Alfredson, Karlsson and Turris. He and Pageau were 2 players I wanted on the Rangers. Pretty good call, huh? Was thrilled when we got Mika, even though it was in exchange for my fave at the time in Brassard. J.G. has had a decent career and continues to do damage to the Rangers, regardless of what team he is on.

Yeah. I’m with you. Every time Mika was on the ice he made noise.

 

[Brooklyn Rangers Fan]

Jones didn't play a lot but I'm liking what I see. He's very confident with the puck and shifty. He even does some board work. Hope he stays in if Trouba ever returns.

100%. Posted this in his thread, but he was obviously nervous and puck-watching to start his first game, but he got progressively better the more he played, especially starting at about the second period last night.

I was impressed with several plays where he used his body/strength to separate a Flyer from the puck or knock him off his intended path, despite being one of the smaller players on the ice, and he's sneaky good at establishing position in front of the net. I'm not saying I want him out there battling JvR in front on the PP or anything, at least not yet, but his defensive play was really encouraging given the profile (smallish, concerns that he left the NCAAs too soon). And as you say, you can already see the headiness on the offensive end.

I'm already more comfortable with him on the ice than I am with Hajek.

 

[Ruggs225]

Laf looks more comfortable with experienced players on the ice.

this is mindblowing. A rookie does better with Vets? Who would have thunk it.
Extend quinn now for doing such unique thinking!

it only took him 3/4 a season to figure out how to distribute the rookies and vets.

 

[Off Sides]

Jones looks great for someone who was going to be a junior in college next year.

That might be pushing it.

I just wouldn't compare them in style, at all.
