Post-Game Talk: Game # 30 Rangers @ Capitals 03/20/2021 - 7pm EST - MSG

Zbad was invisible until the end of the night... but that play was like date night when she hands you her undies under the table

 

[RGY]

Howden shouldnt have even been on the ice in the final minutes. f*** his empty net goal. Bench that shithead.

 

[Anthony5967]

For all those saying Lafreniere isn’t deserving of extra mins, that’s fair. My thing is that the coaching staff should be talking to him about what they expect from him. He still seems unsure of his role.

 

[Black Aces]

Give him the C!

That guy next to him has no forehead

 

[EdJovanovski]

Explain Howden's usage then

He played a lot better than Laf today

 

[LOFIN]

As much as Kakko not scoring frustrates us all, it was nice to see he is trusted defensively. Remember last year when sometimes they actually had a winger on his place for own zone FO, and when they cleared he would then come in? Now he is put on after a GWG scored less than 3 minutes to go, and he played a great defensive shift.

Yeah yeah, it's still annoying he's not scoring but have to find some silver linings there too though?

 

[Leonardo87]

Wasn’t a terrible game, till they went full turtle in the 3rd trying to win it on a 1 goal lead against a dangerous Caps team.

Mika is back, now has 10 points in his last 5 games, and that move on Dillon was the Mika we’ve loved from the last 2 seasons just hustling and taking control of the game.

Kinkaid who gets so much heat here, was very good with some of those late saves. Overall happy they were able to get the win.

 

[duhmetreE]

Hajek needs some love. He's been good

 

[DudMan28]

Don't care what anyone says, Kakko is dangerous on every shift. He wins battles all night and his teammates are not finishing. That kid line has to play 17 minutes a night to see what it can do. Great job by Mika in a big spot.

Can’t blame it all on his teammates when he didn’t bury a grade A chance tonight.

With that said, he has looked great. The points will come in time.

 

[BBKers]

Liked the in game coaching
That Zib goal was brutal
Howden scoring puts me on Rapture watch
3 very nice games completed in 4 nights.
THis will be a MONSTER team when the dust settles
Wait and watch

Might sound pessimistic but eh, I don’t really care how good he’s playing defensively. That’s not what he was drafted 2nd overall for

 

[CasusBelli]

As good a simile as any.

 

[Black Aces]

He played a lot better than Laf today

Did he deserve to play on the 2nd line in the 2nd period? Did he deserve to be on the ice with a 1 min left?

 

[EdJovanovski]

Did he deserve to play on the 2nd line in the 2nd period? Did he deserve to be on the ice with a 1 min left?

Well he scored with a min left lol

 

[Fitzy]

Hajek needs some love. He's been good

He’s been okay in extremely sheltered minutes.

You probably noticed that we went to two pairings late in this game

 

[Black Aces]

Might sound pessimistic but eh, I don’t really care how good he’s playing defensively. That’s not what he was drafted 2nd overall for

Lets let him get to drinking age before we get too critical.

 

[DanielBrassard]

Awful game but made up for last night. Should have won yesterday, should have lost tonight. That's hockey.

 

[EdJovanovski]

Lemieux should be benched Monday for the late 3rd O zone penalty.

You mean the one where he didn’t touch the guy and got a phantom penalty?

 

[Black Aces]

Well he scored with a min left lol

Yea, it was a remarkable play he made.

 

[Ratelleitlikeitis]

Lafreniere played 7:53. I don’t want to trash a win but come on.

Just enjoy the win.

 

[Machinehead]

We got outplayed but we're owed one. More than one, actually.

I like a lot of what I see. We're learning how to play with structure. Then we'll take the reigns off.

We're following the Torts to AV arc where we play tight and then drop the bass when the time is right. Except this time we'll have more natural talent.

 

[EdJovanovski]

Yea, it was a remarkable play he made.

One for the ages!

 

[Cmox]

Howden looks way more than like Bieber than Hughes. And apparently Bieber is a legit hockey player so I’ll take us having a Bieber

 

[NYR]

We should have had both, but I'd take it.

It's beyond time to make adjustments to the PP. Hoping Quinny took some notes while watching Vally from home.

These are the games we need for the kids to learn and grow from... great experience

I don't want to look back after these last 2 games.
Keep Quinn tf away from this team..

big rat Dillon taken to school
