Post-Game Talk: Rangers @ Sabres 2/20

[Kakko]

Skapper is really boring. I love him!

 

[Uglybstrd]

Brassard, Nash, MacK are my stars.

Brassard had 10 shots. And two assists to match his career high in points.

Excactly my votes too.

Brilliant pass from Brassard to Nash on that Zuccarello goal.

So happy for Skapski! He let in the first shot he faced in the NHL, but closed the door after that. Way to go!

 

[trilobyte]

Skapski's demeanour in that interview reminds me of Reimer. Pretty laid back, maybe that's not his on-ice temperament, though.

 

[trilobyte]

Good to see Hagelin get another. He has been in the action a lot lately.

 

[Uglybstrd]

2 points + ROW, good win for this team. It's too bad I don't think we play them or Edmonton again :-/

We have one more game against Buffalo left in the middle of march.

 

[mrhockey193195]

Brassard has turned into one of my absolute favorite players over the last 12+ months. I was so skeptical when we first traded for him, but he has taken another step and become a fabulous hockey player.

 

[2Leetch_94]

The third period finally ended? Thank you SkapGod.

 

[GOAT AINEC]

Start Skapski in the next game.

Would have lost 5-3 with Talbot in net.

 

[Radek27]

As a fan of the sport of hockey, the Sabres are very hard to watch.

They were brutal bad to watch, like minor league team bad.

 

[wolfgaze]

Skapski got his first taste of Giannone's mentally-draining post-game interview questions....

 

[Machinehead]

Start Skapski in the next game.

Would have lost 5-3 with Talbot in net.

C'mon now.

 

[LittleKev6D9]

congrats to the the skapman!

love it!!!!!

 

[eco's bones]

After the goal by Moulson the Rangers did a really good job of keeping Buffalo from getting good chances. There were a few still but Skapski held up well. That's the best defensive game though that we've played in quite a while. Great way to break in a goalie in his first NHL game. A huge win for him and a huge win for the team. We needed those two points.

 

[trilobyte]

Can anybody tell me who banked the puck off the boards and right to Nash's stick, which led to Zuccs' goal?
I saw the replay but missed who made that beautiful bank pass.

Edit: It was Brassard. My gawd, what a great pass.

 

[Cassano]

I would start Talbot vs. CBJ.

 

[Doctyl]

I would start Talbot vs. CBJ.

You must be really confident in our offense

Brass

 

[Cassano]

Yup.

I know it's easy to bash Talbot now, but Skapski had zero pressure this game.

 

[Doctyl]

Yup.

I know it's easy to bash Talbot now, but Skapski had zero pressure this game.

Still had the .900+ sv% that I expect

 

[LieutenantLackluster]

Cam4Neuvirth gg

 

[Krams]

Start Skapski in the next game.

Would have lost 5-3 with Talbot in net.

How oblivious do you have to be to say things like this

 

[Doctyl]

How oblivious do you have to be to say things like this

about half as oblivious as you would have to be to suggest trading Lundqvist for picks and making Cam the starter because cap space.

 

[Synergy27]

Buffalol is in the conversation for worst team I have ever seen in the NHL. After that first goal pissed the Rangers off, it was complete and utter domination for the entire 60 minutes. Neuvirth actually played really well and kept it kinda close.

 

[trilobyte]

Brass

He's earning the GOD nickname. I think he has become quicker with his decision making, not hanging onto the puck as long.

 

[Cassano]

Still had the .900+ sv% that I expect

While true, I wasn't that impressed by his post-to-post movement. He was flopping around a bit too much for my liking on some not-so-difficult shots. Whatever. He did what he needed to do to win. I think pretty much any other team makes this a closer game.
