Rangers giving their all meanwhile in Brooklyn..............................

 

[Mac n Gs]

Sick f***ing cross check by Orpik let go

 

[Tob]

Rob O'Gara is like the starting ship or car in one of those day 1 day 2 day 3 upgrade your machine flash games. No speed, no acceleration, with a gas 3 gallon gas tank.

 

[Paulie Walnutz]

So a slow, subpar middleweight plug? What a waste.

You know I’m an advocate for “tuffness” but this guy is as useless as a broken condom

 

[will1066]

Caps are like "ok, this isn't funny anymore"

 

[Loff]

Sick ****ing cross check by Orpik let go

Always.

 

[LaffyTaffy]

This game has been a good testament of NYR fanbase eyetests. Chytil seems to be getting more praise in this thread due to flashiness. They have both been VERY good after the first intermission. Very different players with completely different skillsets but they are both playing very well.

 

[Blais to Win]

Crosscheck put him face first into the boards. Ridiculous no call.

 

[FireGerardGallant]

Ofc Lias gets hurt

 

[LaffyTaffy]

Just realized Vladdy and Lias have the same haircut

 

[SnowblindNYR]

Namestnikov literally missed an empty net. I'm speechless.

 

[GregSirico]

Shit#!~#!~#~!#

 

[Siddi]

lol Vlad! How the actual f***?

 

[LaffyTaffy]

Ofc Lias gets hurt

Just a highstick he aight

 

[Mac n Gs]

You know I’m an advocate for “tuffness” but this guy is as useless as a broken condom

Agreed. I’m all for grit, but if you’re useless 95% of the time, stay the f*** away from my hockey team

 

[Paulie Walnutz]

Namestnikov literally missed an empty net. I'm speechless.

Rangeritis has set in.

 

[Ori]

Namestnikov literally missed an empty net. I'm speechless.

He did so well until the finish - I think he thought someone was on the other side for sure.

 

[Miamipuck]

So a slow, subpar middleweight plug? What a waste.

No no no he was a "good addition" according to the play by play schmuck.

 

[will1066]

I've always hated Orpik back to his Penguin days.

 

[Machinehead]

He's fine

 

[TheDirtyH]

Lias has been great all game. Chytil took a period to get his feet under him. But they both clearly are more skilled and creative than the McCleods, Veseys, and Desharnaises of the world

[Ghost of jas]

Eagerly waiting to see who overoays the **** out of Carlson this offseason

Hopefully Washington

New Jersey

 

[AIexisLafreniereNYR]

I always find it such a pos move cheap shotting a teenager. An open hit sure to for it, his fault like Gudas hitting Chytil in pre season. Like do you feel tough shoving a 19 yo kid as a grown man?

 

[haveandare]

Chytil makes so many plays where his linemates are not ready for it. Even today, he has had a behind the back backhand pass that Zucc missed, because Zucc did not have his stick on the ice.

Point being, Chytil would thrive with someone a bit more talented and smart at the same time. Perhaps Buchnevich is the only player I can think of currently on our team. Zucc is good, but not accustomed to the level of talent Chytil has displayed.

That being said, I would not mind Chytil staying another season in the AHL and just dominating there. Especially if AV returns. We have a good development coach down there now. One more season to add finesse, stamina and two off-seasons for work with skating. That time can do wonders.

(Ansimov was PPG in the AHL, but just at the time where scoring was a bit more loose and he was a year or two older so PPG in the AHL these days would be just what the doctor ordered).

Yup, I've been thinking he and Buch would be good together. Would love to see them get an extended look together.
