Post-Game Talk: gamble

[Synergy27]

FWIW I was at Sharks Hurricanes last night and Meier was pretty unnoticeable to me.

We really don’t want that player going to NJD. He’s built for the playoffs.

 

[Leonardo87]

9 days till the next game?

 

[leetch99]

Game was not perfect, but they got it done, got great goaltending, one of the kids came through, Kreider and Trocheck bounced back. Only concern would be Panarin. We ended the pre-break on a high note.

We can all take comfort in knowing that Panarin undoubtedly will be hitting the weights and the cardio systems to get ready for the last tough stretch of the season and playoffs...he is a great team fellow !!!! LOL....

 

[kovazub94]

Chytil with 6 points in his last 5 games (4 goals)

You can look at a bigger sample, it’s ok

Well, he has the ASG to go to. Lol.

 

[leetch99]

Good long fight that he got the better of. Kolesar is no slouch. Cuylle carries himself well for a 20 year old

The beauty of that fight as well.....he knew what was expected of him when he was sent out at opening draw in the 2nd period . He also initiated it and swung first....ask questions later......it's been a long time coming since we had one of our own do that . I hope I live long enough to see him and Othmann and One of the giants leading the Rangers into an Islander/Cap/Bruin/Devils game in the next few seasons .

 

[kovazub94]

I actually like Panarin with Zibanejad, but it’s clear they need a Top 6 RW to complete the line.

A dangerous shooter like Vatrano last season would work - Vesey had a number of opportunities last night where Vatrano would’ve scored IMO.

P.S. Panarin will eventually get out of his shooting funk too.

 

[Hi ImHFNYR]

that's the problem.

$20M not doing enough. If we're going to win a cup, Zibs and Panarin need to be leading the way at even-strength.

the middle6 is the 'depth'.

Imagine using panarin, zibs, kreider to acquire multiple top 30 f prospects (assuming we could have gotten panarin to waive for a contender last szn or the szn b4. Which, if we dont have zibs, kreider, strome, etc isnt as crazy as people think. Nhl gms are nepotistically hired and incompetent beyond belief. A looooot of gms wouldve done whatever they could to get ahold of AP and all those points at a reduced cap hit) instead of throwing all that cap at them during a rebuild when it should've been obvious how poorly they fit w our rebuild timeline. Add in all the picks and prospects we traded away to get copp, vatrano, trouba. (Troubs cap is a factor too)

We'd have a rebuild led by actual youth with a metric ton of cap space. Igor, chytil, kakko, fox all would be signed long term by now for nice 4-5.5 m deals. Instead of a rebuild that stupidly promoted the youth 1-3 years too soon, then buried the young talent anyway and now has no money to pay for them when we should be locking them up long term.

Maybe it would've failed but everything could fail, everything has flaws. It at least would've actually been a smart, committed rebuild.

Oh yea...and we'd have buch too at 6 m or less.

Oof.

 

[FUZfan]

Halak was excellent last night.

Kudos to GG for giving him the start.

 

[I Eat Crow]

Forward

adam fox exists

I said what I said. Fox has been underwhelming at ES of late.

 

[Hi ImHFNYR]

Really odd side observation--does anyone else notice that Laf seems to squint almost ALL the time? I've never seen a player squint so much.

Might be a tic of some kind. I do that a lot.

Tank is the guy but it’s going to cost us Kravy or a 1st

I'd be shocked if kravy has the value of a 1

 

[TominNC]

All I get from this rant is that you don't really follow what is going on. But you know what, that's fine, you do you. Personally I find the complaining about complaining tedious. But that's also fine, it's just my opinion.

But complaining about the complaining about the complaining is ok? Just asking, not complaining.

 

[Larrybiv]

That ended up not being a bad game.

Vegas had quality, we had quantity and zone time.

I cannot stress enough what an underrated excellent career Halak has had. So happy to see him shake the early funk.

He really has. I remember so many trashing him earlier, when he wasn't playing well. Yeah, even I probably made a few rude comments. Still, I never ever wanted Georgiev instead.
Yeah, the guys love him, so GG must have known what he was doing, playing him when we said "oh noooo", why isn't Shesty playing? 52-54 starts for Shesty, Halak with the "rest". Cannot burn out Shesty, will be better off in the long run.

Probably a second like Lias Andersson

Shouldn't somebody start a "complaining" thread? All complaining here, please.
Would make for a happier and more intelligent conversation everywhere else. You know, easy reading. Not complaining, just asking if this is a good idea.

The Quinn Special: losing a game where you scored an empty netter. Guy is a terrible coach and learned nothing taking a year off

What a weird post

Vatrano with a hat trick against Colorado last night.

 

[Rangers in 7]

I thought the kid line looked excellent

I thought kreider with tro and goodrow was good, but not as good as the kids.

Panarin and zibs were ass and Harpur is terrible

Do not under any circumstances break up the kid line. They are our second line, hell with the way they are playing they are the best we have to offer right now

Panarin is a huge problem

 

[Gordon Bombay]

Had a hoot at the garden last night. Thought the boys played good and Halak was great

I was completely trashed but the PGT does seem to back that all up

Maybe we could have gotten some Hajek and Howden level players from those trades.

PGTs are always so more pleasant after a win. Lol

Anyway hope you had a good time was certainly a fun game to go to. Hate Vegas, they are like the islanders of the west to me, lol. Glad the Rangers were able to take care of business before the long break.

Two more years after this season at $3.6m. No bien

 

[cwede]

Winning, when not your best, is what good teams do.
But still lotsa 'discombobulated' shifts, at both ends.

Then all the other threads would have no new posts.

Kravy should be with 10-93.....vesey for Culle..Now we have 2 lines..GTK and Kids....make lines 1 and 4 from the balance of the roster
