NFT: Canes @ Rangers, 1pm MSG

bigbluehoya : 12/3/2016 12:34 pm
Haven't started a NYR thread before (at least as far as I can remember)0, but we need to shake things up. Time for this team to get their heads out of their asses and return to form.

As you would have guessed, Clendo back to the luxury suite.

Hank in net. No two ways about it, he needs to play better.

Get it done.

But I wish his trigger was a bit faster on this rookie goalie. He should be thinking shot first


I'm not able to watch the game but isn't leighton a 35 year old career journeyman ? Regardless 11 shots at home through 2 periods is unacceptable but becoming the norm with this group and coach the last few weeks
You're right, my bad  
bigbluehoya : 12/3/2016 2:45 pm : link
I incorrectly assumed that he was a rookie based on having played 1 game this season and the rest in AHL.
But either way

Great pass by Skjei

I'll take it!

Goal decision aside, such a better third period so far.

Breakouts much cleaner and putting pucks on net

Kyle in NY : 12/3/2016 3:22 pm : link
the numbers say (probably not great) but to my eye Girardi has had a solid bounceback game

Now don't go into the shell again, this has been better play here in the 3rd
Whoooooooo

Build on that 3rd period!  
Kyle in NY : 12/3/2016 3:37 pm : link
Can't underestimate how big the loss of Zibanejad and Buch has been. Just stack as many point as possible in the meantime. Defense had a better game too.
That 3rd period  
bigbluehoya : 12/3/2016 3:39 pm : link
Was probably the best hockey I've watched them play since mid-November
We'd been missing  
Phil in LA : 12/3/2016 4:25 pm : link
Kreider as much as Mika and Buch. Maybe he can tip things back the other way.

Tip of the cap to the OP.

To your 3:06, for sure, and seems to me a main factor was the forwards were not buried so deep, positioned themselves higher and ripe for the breakout and cross ice or center ice pass. I'm not sure why they were able to start higher in their own end, or why stuck so deep in the first two and against Sabres, but the play of the back line has to factor in. And not for nothing, while the Rangers did not play well in Buffalo (only 1 goal in loss to Bruins today), seemed to me the Sabres were flat out flying.

CHP, re: your 1:56, I don't recall that play specifically. I have a friend who plays net and does shit like that sometimes (he played one of the lower divisions in college hockey).

I'm always curious about reading the debates on goaltenders and their declines - I've seen people who have played the position argue both sides of the Lundqvist decline argument (that he should have a longer peak because he's so good positionally, and the other being that he will have a sharper one because he relies on his reflexes). I don't really know enough to comment. Some games he looks 'off' (and I could be totally wrong). Sometimes it might be the way the ice was cut or something, though, so I tend not to read into these things too much. Your post is interesting, though.
In the last couple of games  
bigbluehoya : 12/3/2016 6:57 pm : link
I agree with your observation that he's kinda been all over the place.

Maybe I'm just noticing it more for some reason, but I've been surprised. By the number of times Ive seen him with his inside shoulder wider than the post (I.e. He moves so far left that his right shoulder is outside of the left post, and vice versa).

I probably did a really shitty job of verbalizing that thought.
just got back from seeing "Manchester By the Sea"  
ColHowPepper : 12/3/2016 11:13 pm : link
Casey Affleck and Michelle Williams, very, very good, but very wrenching, needed a couple of drinks after.

Just another thought on Henrik, 'Canes' 2nd goal this afternoon, on which it appeared from the behind-the-net cam that there was a fairly good line of vision, and maybe slight deflection off Kreider's skate; then the first Sabre's goal Thursday, and others doing back a few weeks, long shots, and it seems Henrik is having difficulty picking them up--a serious question: should he get his vision checked out? I don't know if he wears contacts, but he's at an age when changes can occur.

Sigh, I yearn for the days of Rogie Vachon, pre-butterfly, lol.
Pretty sure their second goal was deflected off a ranger  
MetsAreBack : 12/3/2016 11:40 pm : link
Watching the highlights we really caught some breaks with Toronto for once. First one was borderline and the officials on the ice ruled no goal - surprising overturn. But the grabner goal wasn't all that close (I can't stand that dumb ass rule oh by the way - worse penalties are missed or called everyday setting up power plays with more effect on goals than a half step offsides) - but rules by the dumb shits are still rules and grabner was clearly offsides.

Weird way to report on Buch  
Deej : 12/5/2016 12:04 pm : link
You'd think you'd report that as news itself, not mention it as an aside. Not reported elsewhere, so not sure what to make of it.

Weirdly Grabner is skating as the extra skater at practice, on the 4th pair with Clendo.

Grabner is out tomorrow. Death in the family.
Well thats great news

in fairness, it would have been cruel though to unleash Grabs on the old team that gave up on him.
10-8-18 so far for Day this year in 22 games  
Greg from LI : 12/5/2016 1:56 pm : link
He only scored 6-16-22 in 57 games last season
The AHL will do a ton of good for Day  
Deej : 12/5/2016 2:02 pm : link
He needs to be in an environment where playing the right way is more important than winning, and he isnt a super vital piece. Essentially a place where he can be bench if he doesnt play hard. Because that's really his only problem -- there isnt enough urgency in his game. Sometimes he looks like he's playing at 75% effort, even when it's a highlight.
