Post-Game Talk: Ice bird

[Chaels Arms]

If any of "the kids" took that same exact penalty in OT they'd never be seen again. GG would make them disappear. Panarin will probably just blame it on having to be on the ice in OT without Kane and GG will say yeah you're probably right.

 

[Alluckks]

They played great after the Trouba hit on Nylander. Penguins got bailed out by the fact that there’s no 5v5 in OT. We sent them some messages too, excited for this week. 5/6 points! The sky is falling!

Refs knew that they had to call 1 single retaliation penalty on Trouba getting attacked and then swallowed their whistles after that when the Pens had to hold, late hit, and hook their way to OT, then ignore the Malkin interference and call the Panarin trip lol it's been a joke in Pittsburgh for 15 years

 

[Kords]

Turned into a pretty fun game after the first half. When Lindgren comes back i'd like to see players get benched for bad pinches leading to odd man rushes. Enough is enough already.

Kane looks better on the keep it simple simple N/S line. Makes sense not to stack so many perimeter guys on the same line.

Panarin... Man when you can't find chemistry with any single linemate over 3 seasons, including the Tarasenkos and Kanes of the league, it's pretty obvious who the problem is. I mean, it was already obvious but at this point it's gone from funny to sad real quick. It takes structure to win cups and he is unable to contribute in a way that isn't a liability on any given night. He drips talent, but any team that want's to win out in a long playoff grind would have much better odds spending that 11+ Million elsewhere.

 

[Alluckks]

Take Panarin and Kane off the same damn powerplay together

 

[CasusBelli]

Panarin is a cancer.There,I said it

He needs to go this off-season. He has already peaked. Trade him for a sixth to boston if you have to. He won’t get better.

 

[gimbznyr]

Panarin is a moron. Refs were looking to throw the pens a bone. Guy literally extended his stick and turned it over malkins ankle. Wtf was he trying to achieve

 

[Machinehead]

This is not a playoff team without Panarin, but by all means, overreact to one play that was Gallant's fault for AGAIN leaving guys out for a minute and a half in the 3v3.

Three points in Montreal and the OT winner yesterday and you never hear "wow, Panarin really came through." Not once.

Panarin sucked last year. He's been great this year most of the season now.

 

[will1066]

If we had won, would Yandle have buddy chatted a Ranger player in an interview?

 

[Brother Mouzone]

I don't expect much from this team on SAT or SUN games , glad they stole a point .

 

[Kovalev27]

Really selfish play by Panarin who should have been off the ice by that point

Lines were much better in the third and we outplayed them for sure. Post away from winning that game even though it was an absolute bonehead play by Zibanejad

The positives have to be the 4th line and the fact we did settle down and give up very little in that third period. Maybe maybe found some lines that might work although I still think Mika and Trocheck should flip.

Hopefully see lindgren back

 

[Waivers]

I logged in just to comment on how much of a f***in joke the no call on Panarin was in OT. Malkin rides him, that’s fine, and uses his opposite hand to tomahawk Panarin’s top hand on his stick for a change of possession. Ref can’t see that angle but that’s a f***in joke. And then Malkin acts like he got shot yet again, like when he saw the Trochek bump from behind.

It would be better if he had 30 points, and wasn’t noticeable for 12 games at a time.

They still need to figure out a better overall gameplan or "get ready for the game" differently for the next 4 weeks. Heading into the playoffs with no plan would be an easy out.

Pittsburgh barely played hockey at all in the 3rd, and they came away with two.

With 16 games left, I think we need to win 10 to get into the playoffs comfortably.

Edit* Pittsburgh sucks. But we can't get a win against them, won't happen. Going to have to hope some other team beats them.

 

[TheDirtyH]

Imagine Chytil, Kakko, and Lafreniere actually playing to their potential consistently?

They are lol theyre just busts

Now if the other guys could too we'd be a contender

Seriously. 20 years we’ve seen the same crap in Shittsburgh. I’ll gladly take the point.

He wasn’t expecting that piece of shit ogre to dive.

 

[The Gloaming]

Trouba was great. Energized the team and made those stupid f***ing fans cry some more.

Mikkola had his best game as a Ranger. Superb.

Fox was ... meh. Better than he's been lately but still not himself.

Schneider should go down and help the Pack make the playoffs because he looks lost out there.

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

The pass Panarin made on the eventual post by Tara was f***ing incredible.

His selfishness in OT? As stupid as the pass was amazing.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

I just don't understand why they can't play like they did in third period more than once every 10 games. The rest of the game was embarrassing.

I'm all for blaming the coach but this is a reach. He can't make the players get off when their tired, and certainly Panarin made a ridiculous, egregiously stupid play whether tired or not

 

[Atax]

I still dont know who this dude is on TNT.

 

[Mike in Houston]

One regulation win in last 12 games.

 

[The Gloaming]

Kane finds chemistry with any line he's put on that doesn't have Panarin on it.

Tarasenko doing his thing out there no matter who he's playing with.

Who the f*** has Panarin shown he can play with?

 

[Machinehead]

If he's not dictating when line changes happen, then he's not doing his job.

A shift should be about 30-60 seconds, and even shorter in OT (if possible) with more ground to cover.

We consistently send guys out there in OT for 90 second shifts even when we have the puck.

We had the puck and our opponent got a change. That's on your coach.
