He goes through periods of forgetting we're not playing east-west any more and the turnovers pile up because there's nobody where he thought they'd be.

Cr00zng Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 I din’t watch most of the game, except the third period. They played well, no doubt about the outcome of this game, got the two points. Good night everyone… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Art20c Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 (edited) To be honest rangers played against an ahi team. There was so much space for them on ice. And no pressure from Chicago. I do not recall seeing such an easy game this season. Even Quinn’s sharks were much harder. Edited January 5 by Art20c 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharpshooter Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 (edited) A must two points and they got it. Hard to get too excited given the competition, but Othmann looked good. We'll see how Laviolette handles him going forward. I loved him getting bumped up. I thought this was a really good game to break him in with, no matter the line mates. At one point in the World Juniors last year, Bedard actually centered a line with Othmann and Cuylle, and here they were in the same game with Brennan making his NHL debut.

That kid is going to be great when they get some real players around him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dude Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 (edited) HasselhOthmann had a noticeable impact. Odd. Who would have thought? And as we all know, Germans love HasselhOthmann. The team looked a bit jovial on the bench and coming off the ice. Even Kreider looked like he was enjoying his team mates. Glad they didn't play down to their opponent. They all looked pretty good tonight. Everyone contributed a little something. Fuckin Wheeler throwing bombs with Tinordi ehhh? The bench gave him a hand for that. You can tell they're all pulling for the guy. I know it was just Chicago, but it looked like adding a guy like Othmann boosted the energy level of the team. The things he does are really aspects that the Rangers have been lacking. Especially the willingness to shoot and get to the dirty areas of the ice for those shots. Fox looked a little more into it and had his legs moving a bit more. When he's skating backwards in the offensive zone with the puck glued to his stick, I feel like he's at that other level. He had a bad giveaway when he took that penalty though. Hopefully he's rounding back into his form. Edited January 5 by The Dude Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharpshooter Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 (edited) I don't know if Fox is still getting used to new systems or still a bit injured. Both maybe? I think more the latter since he looked fine before getting hurt. He'll get there. Edited January 5 by Sharpshooter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously Bedard has very impressive scoring record his first year in nhl but tonight our 1st overall looked better than theirs.

Valriera Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 (edited) Lafreniere was incredible tonight. The strides he’s taken this season are probably the most surprised I’ve ever been as a ranger fan. We had this same conversation against bad teams every year prior, where we’d all say “he can’t even do it against bad teams.” And he couldn’t. Tonight? Dominant every single shift.

Ozzy Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 (edited) The Hawks were really never in this one tonight, no matter what the score said. Even when it was 2-1, I didn't have much doubt were gonna take this one. A super outing by Othmann, showing he may just be more of an answer than a question. It was the Hawks, but still he has some pretty good fundamentals out there for a 21 year old! A fairly spirited thread tonight...and here are the Top 15 nominees for last night's “Ozzy Quote of the GDT”, sponsored by CCM...The choice of NHL helmet throwers! 3 hours ago, BrooksBurner said: Joe in the pregame trying to tell us 15 year vet Bonino gives Othmann the best chance for success.

Let me react emotionally please. Back on the winning side of town tonight, and a fairly solid game by Igor. I didn't really get an idea of Bedard because Schneider was draped all over him most of the game. Pretty good job by the kid! ...and tonight's winning quote for tonight’s GDT goes to @phillyb Philly! I swear I thought that goal was getting disallowed! I gotta admit I was literally shocked when they called it good! I can't figure these fucking calls out, so I just go with Philly's formula the rest of the way! Edited January 5 by Ozzy 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamsim1967 Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 2 hours ago, Keirik said: And right there is why Laviolette is eons of a better coach. First NHL game and he tried Othmann already at RW on the top line as Wheeler was in the box. If that were Gallant, it would have taken 77 games and 14 roster RIP occurrences to happen Not my job to develop players ... Still makes me cringe 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mbob Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 Between the holidays, work, and kids home from college time has been too thin. It sounds like I missed a darn good game and the debut of Othman, but with the little I did catch it looked like our number 1 line was doing it once again with beast mode bread and Laffy was flying.
