Post-Game Talk: Rangers @ Sharks: "Light Schedule" Edition

[The Gloaming]

Bad October. Overpaid. Cashqvist. Big pads. Shootout wins.

 

[Doctyl]

can someone photoshop the stuff in the gray out of there and just leave in california sweepers?

 

[FLNYR]

Rangers need to fix their faceoff game. It could've cost them this game. As good as they are now, they could be sooooo much better if they had a good faceoff game. Heck, even if they had an average faceoff game they'd be a ton better.

It's as if they are doing something wrong fundamentally, I cant figure it out though

Guys and girls, if your YouTube videos have any profanity in them, you have to link to them, rather than embed. Thanks.

The rangers are now the second team IN LEAGUE HISTORY to sweep west canada and california. Ever. Take that in for a second. Who wants to start that thread on the main board and piss some more people off?

Who was the first? And when? The thing, iirc, is up to a couple years ago, I don't believe every eastern team got a chance to play on the road out west the way we do now. If my memory serves correct, every team played a western team at least once, but it could've been at home or on the road, and sometimes you'd only play a western team once a year and at home.

One thing to note is they were all regulation victories iirc, not even OT/SO victories. It's really impressive by them, I'm curious when the next time someone will do that is.

Papa John`s.

Poor guys. I bet they didn`t see this coming when they made that deal.

even at fifty-percent-off they're doing ok

Yeah if there's not enough money in the cash register--they'll screw their employees.

 

[Raspewtin]

Congrats Hank. Another record for the resume.

KING.

Who gives a ****?

He's not even an all star.

 

[DonskoiDonscored]

We'll take Vlasic for Glass and a 2nd please.

Sounds like a Doug Wilson type deal.

 

[FLNYR]

Bad October. Overpaid. Cashqvist. Big pads. Shootout wins.

By the end of the season he'll be a Vezina candidate guy is unreal

Second Eastern team.

KING.

His consistency is literally historic and literally unheard of.

Howard hurt . Hank in my guess

Damn, Megusta, that was quick - you must have that tune in your library. Well modded.

Someone give me a SFW Biggie or Jay-Z track, please.

 

[Guyute]

Steve Valiquette reminds me of Jason Segel

There is none

C'mon, we'll give you your choice of ours or TB's. Pretty please?

 

[eco's bones]

Anyway Henrik was outstanding. He deserved a shutout.

...and Zuccarello deserved a goal. We've gone through this physics/logic thing with the NHL before though. I figured we weren't going to get this one.

Big games by Nash and Kreider--all the defensemen were good including John Moore who has had three straight strong games in California.

Best part is the guy on here who said by the end of this season, Lundqvist will be DEAD LAST in GAA and SV% in the league.

 

[Machinehead]

I voted for the whole Stepan, Kreider, MSL line, but I really wish I had a 4th vote for Hank.

 

[Siddi]

Klein is once again one of my 3 stars. The guys is playing some unreal and maybe underapreciated hockey right now.

 

[Graves94]

Howard hurt . Hank in my guess

Hope he declines if he's invited, what a joke and insult not to be chosen initially!

 

[Machinehead]

Even I wouldn't go that far. As much as I push Hank, and I admit I'm too tough on him, I know he'll find it.

 

[The Lunatic Fridge]

Second Eastern team.

Well teams in the west play each multiple times a year, obviously nowhere near as impressive for teams that get 1 game against so and so.

 

[BarbaraAlphanse]

So much to say but I'll leave it at this:

I'm one of John Moore's biggest critics, and he silently had a great game.

If he can play like this the rest of the way, the Rangers can afford to make their big acquisition a face-off winning 3rd liner - like Vermette.

If he can't, they'll have to make due w/ offense and focus on Sekera.

Great game tonight. Hope Moore really takes advantage of this situation. I'd guess not many professional players get the assistant coach to spend a lot of 1 on 1 time w/ them trying to teach them. He has the skills, he needs to learn intelligence on the ice.

Aside from that. Not the Rangers best game on this trip... but they got the job done. A huge reason that they're so tough to beat is that they can beat you in so many different ways. Their offense could bury you. Their defense could frustrate you. Or Henrik could steal the show by himself. Tonight it was Henrik. Bravo.

 

[Machinehead]

It's true it wasn't our best, but when you play not that great and still beat the Sharks in the tank...that's a little scary.
