NFT: NY Rangers vs. Florida Kitty Cats....7 pm

chopperhatch : 11/17/2018 5:30 pm
Ok dipshits....Im feeling salty AF after that shit show with the Barclay's B-listers. Hank needs to put that one back in his memory like a bout of bad gas at a prom after-party.

I dunno anything about Ryan Strome as a player exceptthat he has a goal and an assist in 19 games. Sounds like a hoot.
Panthers are 6-4-0 in the last 10 games / Rangers 6-3-1  
baadbill : 11/17/2018 6:16 pm : link
Panthers have played 3 fewer games and have 3 fewer points.

Would like to see the Rangers stay on their game with Islanders - Flyers - Caps coming up next week.

Strome started off well... 50 point year @ age 21. Hasn't done a whole lot since.

He and Spooner have both been useless this year. Both are 2 point players. Basically just a "take our trash and we'll take yours and see if either guy does any better" swap. I don't expect Strome to help much more than Spooner was... which was basically not at all.

I gathered that arc. At the least, Strome was at least a top 5 talent....maybe we can unlock something.

Let's go.
Chytil has been flying ever since that first goal

Yeah totally. The puck should never deflect off a defenseman.

And that defenseman should never score a goal.

Send him packing!

How can it be a penalty

AND diving? What a stupid rule /call.

They only showed a quick replay without any slow motion but from what I saw I thought it was tripping and I didn't think he took a dive.
I live in South Fla  
bluesince56 : 11/17/2018 7:56 pm : link
and have to listen to Potvin and Goldberg. They were also complaining about the call.
that shot by Hoffman was absolutely incredible ... Hank had no  
baadbill : 11/17/2018 8:03 pm : link
chance ... I don't think he had time to even react... no wonder he has points in 15 straight games
I watch the Panthers  
bluesince56 : 11/17/2018 8:22 pm : link
quite a bit. They are pretty good. Hoffman is on a real tear.
Their comment about Murdoch ... I think his rookie season  
baadbill : 11/17/2018 8:35 pm : link
was the most exciting Ranger rookie ... Duguay too
First time all season I’ve had the chance to sit and watch  
mfsd : 11/17/2018 9:01 pm : link
a Ranger game in full. Man this Chytil kid can skate. Love the story of his family watching games from home at 1 am, along with his girlfriend...who’s still in high school.

Marc Staal looks pretty shot out there. Kreider playing strong. And the 2nd period was vintage Hank, Panthers put pressure on for 20 minutes outside of maybe 2 good shifts for the Rangers, and Hank stonewalled everything.

Enjoy the 3rd period boys, LGR
Mark Staal  
B in ALB : 11/17/2018 9:08 pm : link
Is the butt plug of the Rangers offense.

Seems like a good thing at the time. But just ends up stinking like shit.
Oh man  
MetsAreBack : 11/17/2018 9:15 pm : link
Hank looks like he broke something - wrist?
Never mind  
MetsAreBack : 11/17/2018 9:16 pm : link
I guess got his elbow funny bone. Phew (except when we play the islanders -- I'm fine with hank never facing them again)

Kid Kreider!
Now fucking finish strong!

FLA pulled the goalie ... kept the puck in the zone ... Rangers  
baadbill : 11/17/2018 9:39 pm : link
couldn't clear ... Rangers were tired and flat footed ... and finally they didn't take a penalty or give up a goal as they have, it seems, every time over the last number of games
Nice thread start, chop  
B in ALB : 11/17/2018 9:41 pm : link
Well done.
Kreider was shot out of a cannon on that goal  
Anakim : 11/17/2018 9:54 pm : link
Uncle Larry brought up the proposal of Kreider and Skjei for Nylander. I wouldn't do that. Maybe Skjei and like Anderson.

I do that trade in a heartbeat, only then you get the privilege of paying Nylander $8M per year.

If you can acquire an elite offensive, 22 year old center, who is good on face-offs and plays defense, you trade Kreider and Skjei IMO.

You get the best player in the deal  
bigbluehoya : 11/17/2018 10:20 pm : link
And you save money. Most definitely a yes.

Would we save money? Nylander is obviously demanding a lot of dough.

I don't know. Kreider's off to an excellent start. And 8M for Nylander is an awfully lot. Seems like the Leafs are the ones in a hard place. I would do one of Skjei and Krieder, but not both. I'd obviously include one with a lesser piece.


Tavares and Kreider on the same line wouldn't be fair
We'll find out in the next  
pjcas18 : 11/17/2018 10:32 pm : link
13 days. Someone either blinks or Nylander sits the year (I believe).

Wanted to stop by to congratulate Hank  
pganut : 11/17/2018 10:56 pm : link
Moves to 7th on the all time wins list. Moves ahead of Jacques Plante. Title or not, Lundqvist is a HOFer. Respect.

And I'll caution you to ratchet it down a bit on Strome. I said after his rookie year he'd be an All-Star within his first 3 years (right here on BBI). He was definitely consensus #5 and drafted there, as any team would have. Crushed his OHL squad's points record. I know some of you prolly rolled eyes if you'd seen my comment. I was genuinely excited about him, and I still like him. He got Capuano'd and it hurt his confidence. Shoulda tore it up with good fellow Tronno boy Tavares, right? But no excuse why he didn't flourish in EDM since he had the chance. Always hoped he'd find it. Maybe with you, he does, or he doesn't. My advice is caveat emptor (but I understood it was a financial wash, so I know it's low risk).
I think that Chytl has a chance to be pretty special.  
yatqb : 11/18/2018 12:20 am : link
He makes things happen when he's on ice. He's fast, strong for a guy his age, and always around the puck. I think he's a legit top line wing. Whether he's a Center when all is said and done is immaterial.
Luongo had a rough night...  
M.S. : 11/18/2018 7:16 am : link

...very rough.

As in at least two bad goals.

Who knows, but Quinn is going to find out sooner rather than later. Strome could barely control his giggles after the game last night, logging 16 minutes, including some in 3rd period crunch time. He said he was happy to go to 'a team that is winning'.

I was hoping to find a Quinn connection in an amateur career, nope, none, turned pro Canada age ~16.

Kreider + Skjei currently account for $10m in cap hits, and Kreider is a UFA after next season. Turning that into a 22 year old #1 C is a pretty attractive move for a team that believes it’s hit the trough of the rebuild and should soon be on the upswing.
Quinn  
ColHowPepper : 11/18/2018 8:44 am : link
So I watched through Rangers Post-Game (Henrik beaming, talking of speed of Kreider with Chytl) and Quinn's presser (first of his I've seen: engaging, smart, poised--very likeable) and then continued watching into a ~ ten minute segment showing him teaching his team, his players, at practice, or maybe it was training camp.

He is such a fundamentals conscious coach, telling players to drive TO the net, not to the side of the net; take the (centering) pass get it to your forehand one timer, don't take the extra backhand to forehand or v.v., play faster, no--place yourself back HERE. It's as if he's still at BU teaching his grasp of the game. It seems to be showing up in the team's play.

Has SNY aired this segment multiple times this season?

As I mentioned after Red Wings and Isles games (sorry for repetition), this is showing up in the PP (much faster, more precise puck movement--and they are getting off shots, unlike the maddening Torts and AV years when the PP would handle the puck forever and not shoot). To my eyes, winning way higher % of faceoffs.

After Isles game, Greg posted a damning list of Gorton's mistakes--undeniable. At least for now, Quinn hire may be one of his ibbgest + moves.
meant to add re. Quinn  
ColHowPepper : 11/18/2018 8:49 am : link
and none of this new for you guys paying close attention all season, he is young, a right move to hire a coach who can relate to a young team. Watching him on the ice demonstrating technique, you can see that he is fit, steady and mobile on his skates, could slip right into a game of his age-group peers of former players and be very competitive.
