BrooksBurner Posted November 21, 2023 Share Posted November 21, 2023 Memorable first goal of the year for Goody, to make it a 3 goal loss instead of 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valriera Posted November 21, 2023 Share Posted November 21, 2023 I don’t have a problem pulling the goalie. There’s no excuse for them walking the puck out of the zone four on six. Sometimes the defenseman gets it low and wings it out of the zone and it happens to go in. Fine. But the fact that they walked it out 4 on 6 days all we need about tonight’s game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But a 6 on 4 makes it likelier you score the goal to make it 4-3. Then you can pull the goalie hoping to get it to 4-4. Didn't work out. You’re right. Difference of opinion. It just happens that one of us is right and the other is Peter laviolette. Edited November 21, 2023 by siddious Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because if Dallas scores a meaningless empty net goal, it pads the plus/minus statistic of the Rangers players on the ice negatively. That's why. Story time over.

RJWantsTheCup Posted November 21, 2023 Share Posted November 21, 2023 Sloppy 3rd period. Can’t win every game. Rather lose tonight and comeback strong and beat Pens and Flyers in the next 2 games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RichieNextel305 Posted November 21, 2023 Share Posted November 21, 2023 (edited) Few things. We missed the net a lot tonight. We started fast and looked really in sync. That first was a really impressive period. Probably one of their better ones of the season IMO. They looked really put together. Then Dallas turned it on and we were caught flat footed and we were chasing a lot the last 40. But it really doesn’t help when your top line is really not only not producing but is putting you behind the 8-ball. It seemed like on at least 3 shifts in the 2nd, Zibanejads line kept us pinned in the D-Zone for minutes at a time. Some line flipping may be needed there; there’s just zero 5v5 offense from the three of them right now. Zac Jones is a nice little fill-in. But Fox can’t come back soon enough. He looked horrible tonight. Was a -3 and was out of position an awful lot for a team that is really well structured. And further, Igor needs to be better. The Hughes goal the other night and now the few bad ones tonight. He’s a little lackadaisical right now.

Sharpshooter Posted November 21, 2023 Share Posted November 21, 2023 Worst loss/performance since the Nashville game. It was a great run of getting points. Shit happens. I expect better against the Penguins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott Posted November 21, 2023 Share Posted November 21, 2023 They've got one line that's carried them offensively Panarin's, and a good PP. Other than that they've got very little going offensively up until now. It's pretty amazing they have as many points as they do with so many others doing so little. Thankfully the goaltending on most nights is outplaying the guy at the other end along with some improved D play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Over 82 games, it happens. Fox is sorely missed. Onto Team Geritol in Pittsburgh Wednesday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karan Posted November 21, 2023 Share Posted November 21, 2023 Zibanejad's currently on page for 10 goals on the year. I guess this means he's going to have a monster second half... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albatrosss Posted November 21, 2023 Share Posted November 21, 2023 Im just hoping that Kreider is keeping the top LW position warm for Othmann. Otherwise i dont see any reason why he’s not on a fourth line permanently. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So there's plenty of time but he's shown literally nothing to date goal wise along with some others, clearly he's the most alarming to me. Time to get going.

Almost reminds me of the Covid season where he was ice cold to start then went scorched Earth. Its coming. Eventually it will all even out. We have seen this with Mika where he looks like a lost puppy then goes on a rampage where he scores like 13 goals in 4 games. I just wish it was more consistent.

Dunny Posted November 21, 2023 Share Posted November 21, 2023 I love Wedgewood. He's always fantastic when I watch him play. He just looks like he threw the gear on 10 minutes prior to puck drop, too. No BS, no fruity headbands or silk gloves. Just goes out and stops the puck. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
