Post-Game Talk: Lightning at Rangers - October 30

[One Winged Angel]

Hayes has always played best with speed on the wing. Grabner looks fantastic with him.

AV is prob thinkin.....hmm I canz move grabs up to linz third and den haz room to get tanner back up here....

Hayes looked great 2 years ago with Hagelin, him having that speed there is important. Now, he has improved his speed and conditioning to boot?

There's also more skill on his line than there was 2 years ago.

Is it just me or has Giannone called a number of these hammerings?

Grabner can score, when he is on fire he is a top Goal scorer in this league,
People forget that he was the best Goal scorer at the Olympic Tournament 2014 (tied with Kessel)..best Rookie goal scorer 2011(34 Goals)...
he is good when he is healthy...20-25 Goals this season are possible for me...

How dare you post my video without permission. See my avatar for reaction.

To be honest i think about that video every single game that giannone does. Just waiting for him to say AND THERE'S A SCORE FROM THE SIDE!!!!

Makes me wish i changed my name back to FTS....almost.

If grabner scores 20 we might have the worst of pessimists on here do cartwheels.

If he's just Hagelin-esque and adds 12-13 with PK and possession, I'd be happy.

If he does get up near 20 I'd be ecstatic.

Man i remember those days what a throwback.

Amazing we have what we have today in the top 6 when back then it was

Frolov-Christensen-Gaborik
Dubinsky-Anisimov-Callahan

Boy AV has quite the dilemma for tuesday. Can you imagine a fourth line of zucc pirri and fast?

Can't blame him for keeping lines two and three together and reuniting the KZB line. Hard to break up Hayes and grabner and JT. And no way i move Nash away from vesey. Nash has found a line he's flourishing on

Guess that means Zuccs getting traded!

 

[magnkarl]

When Kreider is back our top line should also start producing again. I feel Buch needs one goal to start pouring them in because zib-zucc-buch played great all night. Their corsi was great and you could see that they just need some end product. Our team is hard to play against because we have 3 incredibly dangerous lines.

[JESSEWENEEDTOCOOK]

It's nice to be able to look forward to games again. Haven't felt like that since 2015

 

[Siddi]

Yup it's pretty frustrating. This team could go win the presidents trophy and sweep their way to a cup win and people would be demanding AV be fired and *****ing about a play Holden made along the way

We have arguably now the most interesting team this franchise have had for the last 5-6 seasons and we are still *****ing and nitpicking on issues that has been discussed to death. Year in and year out, the same thing nothing changes. I mean there is no point in getting involved in any discussions anymore.

OT: Defence was great, Raanta solid, Offence was orgasm!

Coming into this game my concern was JT and Ziba being snakebitten due to all the missed high quality chances between them past couple of games. Happy to see JT got rid off that monkey and hopefully Ziba will end his drought against the Blues.

 

[Larrybiv]

Can someone post the Klein hit? If it's worth seeing

i cant, but was it mentioned that that hit, was in retaliation to Paquette's hit on Pirri? Everyone notice that? i loves it! wtg Kleiner!

 

[Irishguy42]

It's the morning after and I still can't get over that Hayes pass on the third Grabner goal.

Crazy.

 

[Larrybiv]

I thought this team was going to have to rebuild after last season.

This team is so good.

I didnt think so, only because we had such a good core to begin with. TRUE, very true that things fell in our laps that really pushed us forward.......especially offensively. I mean, how many teams are fortunate enough for players like Hayes and Vesey to come around for NOTHING, and good signings like Grabs and Pirri, oh and dont forget that trade for Zibs.....making us younger. Miss Brass though, and i think so is Zuccha.

 

[Mac n Gs]

We have 10 players with 6 or more points through these 9 games. Kreider has 7 in 5 and could make another immediate impact tomorrow night.

id take that trade off EVERY TIME, I hate that team and that coach THAT MUCH!

Anaheim or Winnipeg fans will be outraged if the return for their prized defenseman will be some forth line scrab.

Very true. **** 'em.

But it's just strange how they struggled against a bottom-feeder team like the Canes and absolutely tore the Bolts to shreds.

Crazy.

Lets not forget a very good pass by Staal to Hayes on that play.

 

[ponytrekker]

How often does the opponent bring much in a 6-1 win?

First 10 min was all bolts. Pretty even 1st.

1. Holden's best game?
2. Skjei 2d best d on team overall?

No, i dont think it to be strange.

1. Easier to get up vs TB, then Carolina
2. Carolina's home opener, gave them a little advantage.
3. Just one of those games a team will have throughout the year.

Last nights game.....

1. Revenge
2. Disliking of their coach, and that big oaf.
3. Revenge
4. MSG game, where losing is not an option anymore!

2. Skjei 2d best d on team overall?

1. Really was. People need to stop being so harsh on this kid. Hes playing on his OFF WING for crying out loud. Cant be easy or everyone would be doing it. Apparently the dropoff is less than if "per se" that McD or Staal would move to the right side.

Anyone see that nice offensive move, I think in the 1st period? Wow. Made that nice defensive play, but i think was lucky for it to go right to Nasher on that breakaway goal.

My answer to #2.........no, i think Kleiner is, when hes 100%.
