Post-Game Talk: Walking cane

[mas0764]

Better get something good back and by good I mean not a fourth line grinder who walks after the season.

 

[Fitzy]

My guess is a return similar to Lias Andersson

 

[DuneGoon84]

Is the Halakness Monster back? Sure looks like it.

 

[McRanger92]

Now 4 straight laughers against the candy canes including 2 playoff must wins. I think we can say we have exercised the demons from the bubble. The metro is very winnable, even though Carolina beats everyone but us. More reinforcements are needed. If Drury can replace the Leshitshow and Harpur roster spots with a 3rd line wing with size and Justin Braun, we have no holes and our best chance to win the Cup since 94.

Panarin just needed to see one go in. He has picked up his game from earlier into the season and Vladdy will only help. If Panarin plays like a superstar in the playoffs, watch out.

Jimmy Vesey was a man possessed tonight. When he sticker Kotkaniemi I was like “who is this guy?” He’s become a heart and soul glue guy for us after. Halak is solid as a rock. Gauthier should stay in the lineup he’s been incredible playing a “4th line” game the last 2 nights, earning his spot. I also thought Mikkola was much better tonight, he moves well for a big guy and he’s got a good stick. His reach is similar to KAM.

Glad us (and the team) get to watch the Super Bowl today with no worries and our heads held high. We’re in for a fun next few months.

Great answer by Bread. 2nd video.

 

[TominNC]

Yeah but from who? Gallant or Kravtsov

Definitely Kravtsov

 

[Kocur26]

That Carolina team struts around thinking they’re better than they are - starting with that ref baiting coach of theirs .

A sickening group.

 

[Anthony5967]

Everybody enjoy SB Sunday. If I am dealing Kravtsov to Gorton and Nicki Bobrov in MTL, I am asking for Pitlick back. Solid fourth line energy guy with grit that is signed thru next year and is dirt cheap. Better Motte, IMO. Just going to drop this here:

Last 26 games:

Lafreniere 5-11-16 +8 15:03
Chytil 15-7-22 +11 14:37
Kakko 7-13-20 +13 16:03
Miller 5-16-21 +9 22:34

If they could keep these paces up from game 1 to 82, you're looking at the following with limited PP time

Laf 16G 35A 51P
Chytil 47G 22A 69P
Kakko 22G 41A 63P
Miller 16G 50A 66P
If my math serves me correctly.

If Gallant sticks with the new PP formations and starts PP2 occasionally, they can start putting up more. I don't know about many of you but I can exhale knowing these kids are going to be alright. Slower process because we have a hell of a team. Let the Zegras', Raymond's, and Stutzle's of the world continue to develop in a losing culture and environment.

 

[Cuckoo4Kakko]

Absolve him of what?

1st season, a trip to the semis with a previously-non-playoff team.

The best winning percentage in the history of the franchise.

Chytil, Kakko, and Laf taking huge steps forward this season.

Then again, folks like you believe if you were coaching they would have won it all last year and would coast to 16 straight in the playoffs this season.

Because that's realistic.

I’m fine giving GG credit for changing lines mid game yesterday when it works. But giving him credit for the kids? Come on. They’ve always played better together. He kept putting them in a blender. He has finally calmed down and it’s paying off. But he said to reporters this week that he will change them at some point.

Anyone who is a giant nerd like me... the Rangers' charter is traveling to Vancouver on Delta flight 8951. It can be tracked online.

Link please. I have never checked something like this but I am curious. Thanks, Me Gusta.

Track Delta (DL) #8951 flight from Newark Liberty Intl to Raleigh-Durham Intl

The reason we know this is the Rangers is because of the charter flight number and the fact that Delta doesn't operate this route for regular revenue service.

 

[rangersfansince08]

@Machinehead do you think Kreider-Zibby-Tarasenko should work?

Interesting. Would have thought they would come back to New York for a couple days before heading to Vancouver on Tuesday. But this way they will have a few days to get timezone adjusted.

That’s really cool! Also , cannot out nerd me, I have a Samurai Rabbit and ninja turtles in my avatar. Lol

 

[will1066]

Y'all are discovering Fight Aware just now? Lol

Ed is preparing to meet Gallant at the gate in Vancouver:

Notice the maple leaves. I just randomly thought Elliott Ness would be a good metaphor.

Can't even make this stuff up lol

 

[romba]

It really does, am with you on that. Valley has mentioned many times about players needing to shoot off the pads, and hunt the rebound. We did that last night. Was it Lindgren? Maybe Vesey?
Worked like a charm, just dont remember who.

Schneider took the shot and Panarin quickly knocked in the rebound

A little bonding time in Vancouver... eating Nanaimo bars, great sushi, and shitty pizza with @EdJovanovski.

Man do I ever hate Nanaimo bars. I don’t have much of a sweet tooth to begin with, even as a child I didn’t like candy. But Nanaimo mars might be the most painfully sweet food in the world, they are soooo rich and make me want to vomit lol

I hate them because I hate coconut. It tastes like suntan lotion.

 

[FUZfan]

3rd star of the game tonight after Bread and Halak. That pass on the 6th goal, didn't think he had it in him.

Also was at the bottom of a vicious post goal, pile on celebration and took it like a man.

Sick!

 

[Anthony5967]

Anybody know how to find team defense scoring? Or is this something you need to calculate yourself?

 

[TGWL]

Trocheck doing everything he can to get away from Kreider.

 

[PuckLuck3043]

You are overestimating his value. He's done nothing here so a 2nd or 3rd is the realistic return.

 

[duhmetreE]

People underestimate how effective Trocheck will be in the playoffs.
