Game 8 Isles vs. Rangers

[kreidertime]

Another game where our dumbass coach will suck off the vets and put them on the PP while Lafreniere and Kakko get fucked over. Montreal will make a massive offer to Lafreniere. I'm locking it up. Kakko fooled me. He's a Fin. I guess they are different. He said he was happy here. I can't imagine Lafreniere is happy barely getting PP time. If I'm Lafreniere's agent, I'm telling him, if you want to play the first PP you either have to leave or get a huge offer sheet where the Rangers have to get rid of one of their more expensive forwards.

They need to put Kravtsov in the weight room and tell him 'we'll see you around the holidays'.

 

[Stepupstepan]

Yeah Kravtsov is soft as a butter. Just a warm body basically at this point. He was much better the first time around.

 

[kreidertime]

I'm already sick of the Rangers being on these shit other station broadcasts because they are all sucking Igor's junk after last year.

 

[Stepupstepan]

I hate that bisssonette guy. The biz whatever that scrub who played in NHL

 

[Greyvtrayn]

I'm already sick of the Rangers being on these shit other station broadcasts because they are all sucking Igor's junk after last year.

Came on here to say the exact same thing...Im fucking over the Rangers not being on MSG. So god damn obnoxious. Yeah, Sam is starting to lose it but I so much more enjoy the broadcasts with Steve, Sam, Joe and John.

Gauthier skating is so amazing for a big guy if he could just finish a little better he score thirty goals a year

 

[Stepupstepan]

Does not look good for Kravtsov. Gauthier is more useful right now.

 

[kreidertime]

The Islanders had a guy standing right next to Zibanejad on the power-play and the Rangers were fucking clueless

 

[kreidertime]

I’m still waiting for that pussy Kreider to throw body check

 

[kreidertime]

Halak blows

 

[Ranger71]

Gotta get some pucks to the net.

 

[Messiah717]

Another 40+ shots and apparently another night they're playing against the best goalie in the world.

 

[Stepupstepan]

Reverse from last year. Got outshot but won somehow because of Igor's amazing season. This year they outshoot the teams but lose.

 

[Stepupstepan]

I can see a coaching change by January.

 

[kreidertime]

I'm not ruling that out. Miller is making terrible pinches every game. Trochek on the PP is moronic just like Strome was. Kreider is playing like a bitch. Guy doesn't know what a body check is. There is a lot wrong with this team at the moment. Let's see what they do over the next week. I think you will see Robertson up here soon. Kid looked like a different player this pre-season. I stand by what I said. This team will never win the cup until Lafreniere and Kakko are on the first PP unit, full time.

 

[Messiah717]

It's very simple. Your top players need to play like top players night in and night out.

 

[Stepupstepan]

I don’t know if it’s possible throughout the whole season messiah. That’s why our top young guys need to step up and pick up the slack. If they want to get paid so start producing on consistent basis. They get enough ice time now. Would be nice if Gallant play them more on pp but what can you do. They gave out a lot of albatross contracts.

 

[Ranger71]

The 40 shots are misleading, as there were very few high danger chances on Sorokin. They aren't making enough happen down low.

 

[Stepupstepan]

Yeah, this year they throw a lot more pucks on the net but nobody crushes the net. lol

 

[Messiah717]

Yeah, this year they throw a lot more pucks on the net but nobody crushes the net. lol

I never would expect 52 again but Kreider needs to stop the disappearing acts.

 

[kreidertime]

He's done that his entire career. Another reason for him not to see consistent first PP time.

 

[Ranger71]

The Isles waived Bellows?

 

[Greyvtrayn]

I hate to say it but I find this team to be very uninteresting this year. Last season I did my best to watch as much of their games as possible and really enjoyed the games. I'm struggling to get into them at the moment, just very boring games and i find myself tuning out. I will put the blame on me still having a rooting interest in the World Series this year...maybe once that is over I'll get more into the Rangers.

 

[kreidertime]

Agree. They are boring because the coach is making the same fucking mistakes with Lafreniere and Kakko on the PP. Gallant is under the moronic impression that his vets will be better than other teams vets and they can win the cup. They can't. They will never win the cup until Kakko and Lafreniere are on the first PP unit. These have to be two players that lead the way to a cup. I would split up the PP units. Let Goodrow stand in front on the second pp unit. Make Panarin the one time option like Zibanejad is which will force him to shoot more. I put Lafreniere on RW for one timers and Kakko in the high slot. So now you have two one time options. Same with Chytil on the second PP unit. It's common sense but Gallant is too stupid to figure it out.

Kakko-Kreider-Lafreniere
Zibanejad-Fox

Trochek- Goodrow-Chytil
Panarin-Trouba

 

[NYR Fan]

Wait - you want Lafreniere and Kakko on PP 1 - wow you sprung that out of nowhere. You haven't mentioned that at all 76545638957 times in every post. I agree. If those guys were on PP1, they'd be the best players in the NHL, the team would go 82-0, and a SC would be a lock. That really is the whole issue with everything. If only those guys were on PP1 instead of Trocheck and Panarin we'd be set.

And I totally agree with taking maybe our best player Panarin off of PP1 for Kakko, who still has a ton of growth and work to do. Totally a logical play.

But that's that though. Put those guys on PP1, and 3rd line depth is no issue, 3rd pair LD is no issue, all is solved. Pretty straightforward really.

 

[Ranger71]

Fox needs to start using his great wrister more on the pp, along with Kreider getting around the net. Panarin is doing a little too much weaving instead of shooting.

 

[kreidertime]

After his shit playoffs Panarin is owed nothing from this organization as far as pp time. He gets paid a ton. He can suck it up.
