Post-Game Talk: Lightning at Rangers - October 30

[Mr Clutch]

Pirri scores on that 5 on 3 zero doubt in my mind

JT Miller leads this dynamic offense in pts. Let that sink in.

If the rangers actually offered this kid to Anaheim or Winnipeg and they said no they both deserve to be as bad as they are. Kid is a hell of a player.

With less minutes and barely any pp time!

One of the best things about this stomping, is the strong possibility that the Lightning will come out fired up vs Islanders.

Question....if the Lightning were the Lightning this game, does that mean the Rangers were the THUNDER?

2. D qs


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

1--Yes, easily. Not bad at all when he's not expected to play 20+ minutes a night on the top pairing. Still made one or two gaffes, but those happen. Good game overall.

2--Potentially, yes. I think he still has some stuff to iron out,but now I'd say either Staal or Klein have that position.

It's also just really nice to have 4 lines of dangerous offense. Top line gets shut down? No problem!

 

[Savant]

Went last night. Took Mrs. Savant to her first game. May have to bring her to more.

Grabner and Raanta were the stand outs. Raanta should have had the shutout but the refs missed Hayes being tripped and that kept the play in their zone alive.

Skjei I thought had a very good game. McDonagh looks the best he has in years. Nash, Miller, Hayes all very good and Vesey too. Not a whole lot to complain about. If the Rangers can add the right dman before the end of the deadline, they are going to be very dangerous.

 

[Chimpradamus]

Had to miss the game tonight but saw the score whoa... can anyone give a brief summary? It sucks Raanta couldn't get the SO (I just saw the goal times).

Watch at www.dtmts.com (Don't tell me the score). Best site ever.

 

[Doctor King Schultz]

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.

The Bolts were on the 2nd game of a back-to-back. I'm not saying thats the whole reason for the beating but I think it was definitely a factor.

Is there a site where game highlights include scoring chance situations, not just goals scored?

 

[Idlerlee]

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

Are we pushing a forward thats playing excellent down to the 4th line to reunite a line that had 2 good games together 6 games ago?

Things that make sense for .50 cent please

It was that good, huh?

 

[Lion Hound]

Could have had 5 stars for this game.

Narrowing it down to three I went with.

1) Grabner - Hattrick should trump everything other then a shutout! #40 is turning into the NHL's best reclamation project.
2) Raanta - Antsy pants had himself a really solid game.
3) Miller - From whipping boy, to trading block, to team NA, to NYR's leading scorer. Very impressive start especially considering he also missed on another 10 good quality scoring chances.


Happy Halloween!

 

[Larrybiv]

Getting 4 goals through 10 games is pretty good......right? Well that equates to at least 30 goals for the season. That is what Nasher has.

What's astonishing is that 4 other players have 4 or more, along with Nasher.

Vesey and Grabs with 5
Zuccha and Pirri with 4

Kreids with 3, and you'd have to believe he'd have more, had he not been injured and....
J.T. with 3, but seemingly should have 10 already with any kind of puck luck!

VERY IMPRESSIVE!

It really is! Been going there for a week now. Great to catch other games in a condensed form and for re-watching our game. No delays with all that buffering ******** that you get with other websites and best of all.......NO ADS!

Oh wow another hockey site that's 500x more useful than NHL.com

AV giving McDonagh appropriate 5-on-5 ice-time

Went there this morning. Except for a couple of Butch's scoring chances it was all highlights of goals.

 

[tailgunner]

Bolts have hit a rough patch and last night was their rock bottom (unless they dig even deeper against the Islanders).

That said, the Rangers basically outplayed the Lightning at their own game and a game like this in previous years is probably a 6-5 game with the winner a tossup. Seems like every previous year the Rangers really open it up and play fast against the Lightning, they break down defensively and get scored on a bunch. Last night they kept it pretty tight while still being able to break loose on offense. Will just have to see if they can keep doing that.

Wow thanks!

 

[Levitate]

Kevin Hayes at 50% on faceoffs for the year...really improved on that so far

 

[silverfish]

Kevin Hayes at 50% on faceoffs for the year...really improved on that so far

Definitely because he's 20 lbs lighter

Zibanejad just destroying them at 55%. God I love this roster; really excited to see what Gorton gets up to between now and the TDL.

Teams play on the second night of back to backs all the time and rarely get blown out. Hell, we won almost all of our games in that situation until last year.

It is Halloween!
