He spent more time on his belly than on his skates

I thought we were only allowed Sunday night home games during football season. Kids actually get to go to a game. News at 11.

As for AV - I dunno ... Just seems so stuck in his ways. Octobers impressive performance feels more like chip Kelly's Eagles now - eg a team in better shape to start the season than opponents with legs not quite ready to bottle up stretch passing .... But now the league has adjusted and AV doesn't seem to care to adapt.

Kudos to the NHL for scheduling carolina's only two trips to msg this year in a period of four days.

Very odd scheduling indeed. We also have back to back Sunday games hosting the Devils. Thank goodness the Giants dont have any significant games on those dates.

D cant move the puck. Tough to break a trap that way. Tough it's not an excuse for DG on the top pair. There is no excuse for that, period. It is indefensible.

Of 129 NHL Ds with 300 minutes played, Rangers top 6 are ALL bottom 20 in CF%. Girardi is last in the NHL at 40.4%.

come on

every puck should have a chip in it, and the goal frames need to be wired. Fox had chips in the pucks 20 years ago.

GOOOOOOOOOOAL!

Seriously, it's about as basic of a technology as you could imagine.

as he was last game, and he looked the same on that sequence. Something is up.

to get that first one. Really thought they were going to rule interference as it looked like Step's skate made contact with his right pad. I then thought the league would rule that the glove obscured part of the puck thus they'd rule against it. Just never know with these things.

He kind of looked like this back in 2015 when he came back from the injury for the first two games.

:(

Take the fucking shot

single corsi and fenwick stats?

But somehow have a lead. Starting to feel like our club last November/December again

as the shots suggest. At least compared to recent games. Carolina throwing shots from all over the place and our guys seem to be waiting for the perfect shot

By single you mean individual player? Corsica.hockey

ever going to bench bad play by Dmen?

terrific post-game discussion on Thursday re. relative value of signing a #1 or 2 d-man (right or left (: ) and vs. the churn in players and picks, MSL, Yandle, etc. And whither frigging Stralman. As board predicted, Clendo in the suites, makes little sense.

made a comment after the Flyers' game (it didn't excite anyone enough to warrant a remark, and that's ok; nonetheless, it sticks with me): shot from the point goes waist high wide to his left and King sticks out his catching glove to his left as the shot goes by him. He continues to stare at the glove as if he had caught it, staring, but meanwhile play and the puck are continuing behind the net and scrum beginning to emerge on the right side of his net--it was if he was playing an alternate reality. That is, the delay in awareness/reaction time between realizing he had not gloved the puck before he got back in the game was extraordinarily long. This is not normal goal keepers' action or awareness.

(I know some of you guys are/were serious players, I have no such pretensions, but keeper was what I did play). ok, I'll shut up and back to your regular programming.

is Ryan Graves going to be a player in NHL?

He did....this past game

Brutal

He's a chump. A fast chump.

Snow angel

Pathetic

He's well served honing his game in the AHL and ironing out his skating. But to answer the question, when there is an opening for a LD. Right now our 4 best dmen are all LDs.

Thanks bbhoya

Can't get back quickly enough.

Just pray for point-per-game hockey until then.

.

Though that's not saying much


Still, it's encouraging

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

trying to walk the puck into the net. Team is dying for shots and he's turning down point blank chances.

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

I incorrectly assumed that he was a rookie based on having played 1 game this season and the rest in AHL.

They should be looking to pepper this clown

Grabber is a blur

2-1

.

When we're operating like that, it's so much fun to watch.

.

I think it's gonna be nullified

beautiful combination and finish

Good going, refs!

I can't believe a team would give up on Grabner.

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

Breakouts much cleaner and putting pucks on net
