Post-Game Talk: Rangers @ Predators -- 10/21/21

[Kocur26]

Nashville wow what a sickening group of ref baiters .

Dynamite W - hit 4 posts I believe.

A very watchable hockey game.

I love that Chytil line

That said 2-1 we almost blew the game at the 4 min mark by losing yet another FACEOFF .

The power play was putrid - it can’t be all tip in Kreider centric.
Get Panarin off the point - enough.

If Rooney had hands he wouldn’t be a borderline pro .

I like the look of the Rangers staff behind the bench - hockey lifer looking.

Laff looked fantastic

Not an undeserved or deserved outcome. Closer than the score indicated.

It was absolutely deserved. Great 3rd period, on the road, against a good opponent, without 2 top 6 guys. Sorry it wasn't a 5-0 60 minute blowout.

 

[Boris Zubov]

Missed the first half of the game....Was Joman Rosi another Sam Rosen-ism?

Great game, everyone. My three stars are Brett Howden, Colin Blackwell, and Greg McKegg. Goodnight, everyone.

 

[Kords]

Laf and Blais are gonna be best buds

Fer sure

 

[LokiDog]

My kid is gonna be named Igor at this rate, which will combine really awkwardly with my Scottish last name.

I'd like to see Jones get a look while Lundkvist has a spell in Hartford.

Me too. And have him on the PP over Trouba.

Now you'll need to excuse me, I'm heading to Vegas to tuck in Bert Howden.

Great win. This team really knows how to grind out games late. Igor is playing at a Vezina level and thats kept them in a lot of these games while the team learns the system and gets chemistry.

Laf-Chytil-Blais has a chance to be the depth scoring line the Rangers have been looking for

Mika & Panarin are so close to breaking out. Kreider has been their best forward through 5 games

I thought the defense was very good as a whole, particularly Trouba/Miller. Miller blowing up Forsberg late to break up an odd man rush is what weve been dying to see from him.

Keep racking up points until we get healthy. LGR

Winning without 1/3 of our top6
Winning without Panarin being Panarin
Winning with Zibs still flubbing chances
Winning with an abysmal and embarrassing PP

This team's potential is through the roof.

 

[HatTrick Swayze]

I recognize Panarin led the team in xGF% but he doesn’t look ANYTHING like the player we’ve watched the last two years. It is likely at least in part a team issue...but if this is the new normal for him it is a bit terrifying.

Goodrow is going to become our new Carl Hagelin with ENGs.

 

[Row I Goon]

I hear she's very good.

She said you weren’t….bit small and smelt “funny”. But hey, I got a cousin you might like. He’s not too fussy either….lol!

Drop the I and go with Gor. As in Cor and bGORa.
Gor Macpherson, has a ring to it.

 

[duhmetreE]

Wow WPG... is that what a PP is suppose to look like?

Good teams win games they’re not supposed to. Igor is saving us right now. If Gallant tightens things up a bit, we get healthy, Panarin gets going, Kakko and Laf continue to progress then we’re absolutely going to the playoffs.

I once randomly sat next to a Dutch Igor and considering that's my name, it's one of the cooler stories I have (I don't have many cool stories).

He looked kinda crap at the start of last season too before going on a tear

It's been 5 games so eh

He’s fine. It’s 5 games that he hasn’t been a god for us. He was creating chances out there and manifested a goal that got called back. He’ll be fine.

 

[FireGerardGallant]

If only we drafted Lapierre wed have the second coming of the French Connection

Fer sure

Underrated comment

He's most definitely trying. The talent is still there, we've seen him setup a lot of players already in the first few games. He's just making some really dumb passes

 

[duhmetreE]

Tempting to start Shesty again.... hate day games but you have to ride him no?

 

[Levitate]

To be honest that kinda happens with skilled passers...they force a lot of crap that doesn't work and then suddenly it starts clickign and they look like wizards
