Rangers vs Flames game 7

[kreidertime]

4-1-1 and Panarin has played with his head up his ass all season. Guess you have to look at that as a huge positive.

 

[Greyvtrayn]

They have another game today?! Really packing in the games at the start of the season...

 

[Greyvtrayn]

Oh, its tomorrow....buzzkill.

 

[panzerporter]

Guess they'll head back to the titty bars today to prep for tomorrow.

 

[kreidertime]

Let’s hope not they basically didn’t try for 55 minutes

 

[Ranger71]

Absolutely pathetic in their own zone.

 

[mrmel29]

What a terrible period. The defense sucked total ass. IGOR stopped about 5 or 6 point blank shots right in front and is only reason we’re still in the game. Zman and Laf invisible again and wondering what the hell is still wrong with the breadman. Kreids and hunt have been our best forwards. Hopefully they get it going in the second

 

[kreidertime]

Nemeth fucking sucks what a terrible signing that was. Put Hajek in full-time and send an asshole to the minors

 

[Ranger71]

Nemeth is fucking horrible.

 

[Ranger71]

I have no idea what Zibanejad and Panarin are doing this year.

 

[kreidertime]

Sucking dong

 

[Ranger71]

If not for Fox and Shesterkin this would be maybe the worst team in the league so far.

 

[kreidertime]

Gauthier hit like that every game he would never come out of a lineup every time he hits somebody he destroys them

 

[kreidertime]

Giving this 3rd period 4 minutes tops. If nothing happens I’m shutting it off maybe Panerin will wake up by Thursday

 

[mrmel29]

A little better period except for the nemeth giveaway but have to find a way o put some pucks in the net

 

[mrmel29]

Don’t know about you guys but not impressed at all by what I’ve seen from lundqvist. Kid never seems to make a clean pass, not a factor offensively which is his forte and pushed around in the corners due to his size. Kid looks like he could use some ahl time and I’d like to see Schneider back up here.

 

[kreidertime]

We’ll his partner sucks ass. I agree that Schneider should be up and he should be in the AHL getting lots of power playtime

 

[kreidertime]

Chytil is another guy I’m starting to think they will move on from

 

[Ranger71]

You'd think back at home in front of the fans these guys would play inspired but they've been sloppy as hell. Hard to see this as a playoff caliber team with such poor defensive coverage. They can barely get the puck up the ice.

 

[Ranger71]

Not good. Lots of troubling signs. GG needs to lay down the hammer early with some of these people or he's going to lose them.

 

[Greyvtrayn]

Its an 82 game season. There are going to be several clunkers, especially with one of the youngest teams in the league.

 

[kreidertime]

They need to stop signing these veteran rejects when they have guys like Hajek, Barron and Richards who provide more speed and upside as well as faceoffs.

 

[kreidertime]

It almost looks like Panerin is sulking that he hast to play north-south hockey

 

[mrmel29]

Panarin is still playing east-west which is the problem. And as you pointed out he keeps passing up one good shot after the other to pass to someone in a worse scoring position. Happy with the rangers start but if not for Igor the record is probably reversed. The grit is good but there is a sore need for more offense especially on the PP. Kakko coming back Friday will help but would really help if chytil would chip in some offense. Laf is lost with zman but looked pretty good with chytil and Blais and I would reunite that line, put kreids back on his normal left wing with zman and maybe give Kakko a shot with them. Panarin and Strome need to stay together with Barclay and then well have 3 decent lines for the moment.I like the way Barron plays but until they move chytil which I think is coming to clear room for the kid theres no room. As for the defense its a disaster. there was 2 or 3 plays yesterday where a flame forward had the puck 10 feet in front of Igor with no defense in sight and Igor stoned them. Nemeth and Lundqvist are a disaster together. Miller has played better this year and is actually starting to use his body which is good to see but as a young player still makes some mind boggling turnovers on defense that the ranger will live with thru the growing pains. Fox is great but even he is making some key mistakes back there on D. Its a young D that will hopefully grow but I don't think they have their best young dmen up here. I think jones and Schneider should be the third pair right now. The PP is so bad I almost wish they would decline them. We're back to using 5 righties and nobody wants to shoot the friggin puck. Everybody lookin for the highlight reel pass play that comes once in a blue moon. Have 3 days of practice before the next game with Columbus. Time for GG and Drury to make a few changes with the squad. Eventual deal imo for the future trade for a center will include chytil, Lundqvist, maybe another prospect and a pick or 2.

 

[Ranger71]

I don't know why they make it so difficult on themselves with the pp. Fox needs to use his wrist shot more and Panarin should be getting one timers from his spot at the circle. Not enough traffic around the net. Zibanejad keeps taking shots that have no shot at beating the goalie and end up going the other way. The whole team still sucks at hitting the net.

 

[kreidertime]

You got that right. Panarin should be in the high slot more. Kakko when he comes back should be on RW to one time it from there if possible. Every team knows that they are trying to get Zibanejad for a one timer. Problem is he's not Ovechkin with it. He sucks at it compared to him. Their PP is predictable. If you had Kakko one timing from RW, Zibanejad from the left wing and Panarin sneaking into the high slot more, they would score some fucking goals.

Flames butt fucking the Devils
