Post-Game Talk: Rangers @ Devils -- 4/13/21

[Unpredictable1]

It wasn't a major play but I really liked that backcheck Laf had on Hughes when he took the puck away.

I agree, that was an absolute beauty.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

I agree, that was an absolute beauty.

I liked it mostly because it was the second time our #1 pick took their #1 pick's lunch money.

Anyone have Mika's post game interview? Apparently the guy who calls out which reporter is up for question doesn't know his name...he said "Do we have anymore questions for Miko?"....awkward silence for a few seconds until one of the reporters corrected him.."it's Mika"

 

[Rempe73]

1. Igor
2. Buchnevich
3. Trouba

HM: Panarin, Chytil, Zibanejad, Fox, Lindgren, Hajek, and Lafreniere’s energy after the game (and every game)

All I gotta say is Miller is like my perfect definition of a defenseman. Neutralizing that opponent physically followed by stickhandling in a phone booth was amazing to watch.

Also was that Subban whose ankles were broken by Panarin?

Fitting that #20,000 was scored by Buchnevich. Wish it was Igor, but oh well. That’s good too. Can’t trade him now

Oh, and it was a snoozer most of the time.

 

[Maximus]

I had this dream the other night that after the Rangers beat Colorado for the Cup in 2025, Fox is going win the Conn Smythe after scoring 34 points throughout the playoffs just as some other dman for us did in '94.

In all seriousness, I still can't get over how good he is at such a young age. He really is the new Leetch!. He will lead us to a Cup or two during this decade...I'm 1000% convinced of it!!

 

[Rempe73]

Kravtsov comparable?

He’s one of those guys whose game is pretty unique imo, but Eichel and (the best version of) Hayes come to mind when I watch him.

Edit: Rasmus Dahlin also came to my mind just now.

 

[Jayan]

Everyone laughed at me for saying we should trade Kevin Hayes to move up to draft Kravtsov in the teens because I said he’d be elite! Who’s laughing now!!!!

I can tell you who’s not laughing.

Kevin Hayes.

 

[Rempe73]

Vitaly Howden

Am I missing something? I watched the game later on and wasn’t following the boards.

 

[EdJovanovski]

 

[Rempe73]

Probably my favorite picture of all-time

 

[NYRFANMANI]

I’ve thought his play fell off lately, I’ve seen lots of posts saying the same; even that he should sit in the press box for a few

They is all wrong, and may need to check with a neurologist.

 

[Machinehead]

I just put Howden twice instead of Kravtsov by mistake lol

 

[Machinehead]

Panarin took 3 years off of Subbans career there.

He didn't have 3 to give

 

[chosen]

Reminder since I constantly am reading how Chytil isn’t a center or he’s dragging guys down

in his last 11 games

3 goals 5 assists 8 pts

no pp time.

on about a 47 pt pace per 82 again with zero pp time.

I’m not quite sure what more people want from this kid he turned 21 like in sept. He’s kravtsovs age

One of a large group of Rangers youngsters improving. That pisses off one large segment of posters here.

Lots of people don't realize that playing hockey in the NHL is hard. When you are still a kid, playing against men, its even harder.
Very few U20ish players can come in and be dominant from day 1. Either you have McDavid like speed/skill or you are put in a unique situation to be successful.

Did you see in the pregame they put Kakko and Hughes scoring stats next to one another at around 100 games and the prospects had the same number of goals and very close in points.

I bet Quinn somehow is ruining NJD #1OA too.

It's common knowledge that Quinn ruined some players before he was born.

 

[Larrybiv]

Remember who scored the 20,000th goal because it’s gonna be a trivia question in 20 years.

Also Shesty is so damn good. Well deserved shutout.

Sam and Joe will probably guess wrong from the grave.

This really made me lmao. Thanks bud!

 

[Larrybiv]

Kravtsov comparable?

Ratelle

Oooh, be careful there. Tons of respect for that man. We could only pray that he becomes 3/4 of Gentleman Jean.

Not saying he'll be as good. Saying that he reminds me of him, in style.

 

[Larrybiv]

Buch needs to put on some pounds/muscle. I mean, do all players look like this? Amazing he doesnt get crushed more.
I am 60 and feel like I could put him on his ass. (If I could catch him)

 

[Larrybiv]

It wasn't pretty but the boys found a way to gut one out. A couple of key goals from our big boys, strong D, and great netminding is the usual the recipe for two points. But if you add in, rolling four lines without hesitation and having total confidence in their improved gameplay, that could be a recipe for a winning streak.

Neither Panarin or Strome played more than 15 minutes tonight. Even if they weren't nursing sore bodies, rolling 4 lines to apply pressure and be aggressive is critical. And our 3rd and 4th lines have certainly answered that call of late. While they might not put up the points like our top lines, we lose nothing defensively by throwing them out there. And the more time they spend in the offensive zone, keeping the opposition hemmed in,.. the less likely they get scored upon.

If we keep rolling 4 lines, our chances of going on a run just increased dramatically.

Gone are the days AV and Torts used to shorten the bench when the game was on the line.

Quinn obviously knows the schedule. 9 games in the next 16 days. Every team is going through this. Only the STRONG, YOUNG and 4 lines will survive. Oh yeah, and Shesty goaltending. No team has a Shesty, like we do.

 

[Chimpradamus]

When Sam Rosen finally stops commentating games, oh boy, it will be tough for the next one to fill out those shoes.

Or there were no power plays.
