NFT: Rangers playing Blue Jacket

bluesince56 : 7:35 pm
tonight. 3 goals by Rangers first 8 minutes. Of course Kreider takes a dumb penalty and Blue Jackets score. Igor standing on his head making saves
LGR!

this team is so fun right now..
9 Giveaways in first period  
They are playing so soft. Hit somebody!!! Geez..pathetic defense
Miller

Might need to think about getting a big deal this off season.. he’s a turnover machine lately, I bet Rangers bridge him with a Lindgren like deal

They got complacent and lazy. 3-0 against a shitty team and they began to become lax and float.
Gallant looked really pissed off at their play  
Regardless of who they play they have to play with intensity. Stop the BS giveaways .Playoffs right around the corner.
Another dumb penalty

by Kreider
Mika now two goals from 40  
dpinzow : 9:27 pm : link
Would love to see him with a 40-goal season
Bread.....  
What a brilliant player. The set up for Mika on the 5th goal was amazing....

Yea, come play-off time we'll see if he can find his physical game a bit more, but watching him during the regular season is a pleasure.
Rangers will go to Jersey two points behind  
dpinzow : 9:33 pm : link
in the Metro. 7 games left for both the Rangers and Devils.

Carolina will also lose to Tampa so the Rangers move to 5 points behind the Hurricanes (but Carolina has a game in hand)
A lesser goaltender than Shesty would’ve given up 10 goals  
tonight behind that pathetic excuse for defense. I’ll chalk it up to not being totally focused as Lindy Ruff complained about last night.
Metro standings  
dpinzow : 9:40 pm : link
Carolina 103 points, 8 games left
New Jersey 100 points, 7 games left
Rangers 98 points, 7 games left

Rangers would actually have had a shot at the Metro if they held that lead at MSG vs. Carolina last week
Nice win but 21 GIVEAWAYS  
That is not playoff hockey
I’m sure Gallant is going to stress tightening up their passes in the defensive zone.
Once again Igor back on his game which is the most important thing going into the playoffs
Don't look now...  
BC Eagles94 : 10:11 pm : link
but Rangers now 2nd in NHL in goal diff behind the Bruins.
......  
Route 9 : 11:32 pm : link
Just start the GD playoffs already!!! Holy shit this time of the year goes by so fucking slowly!!

But surely LoL!!
good win but really sloppy in the 1st. Igor saved their asses  
Victor in CT : 3/29/2023 7:19 am : link
tightened it up the rest of the way. I liked in the 1st especially that they were shooting the puck when they had they chance.

JFC you complain literally every game/thread. Enjoy the ride.

LT, with respect, but I'm 100% in Rick's camp--I know, you'll say what a surprise, two complainers. Each of us watches games of teams we root hard for through similar but distinct lenses, and I could not watch the stream of careless, mindless giveaways--oh, well, I'll just flick the puck over there and hope for the best, WTF, right?--Drives me bonkers. Same with Miller deep in his own end when under pressure.

And you know what: the Captain, Kane (himself culpable), Gallant, Valley all said the same thing, in effect: you can't just flick a switch come playoffs; you have to hone your game and get your habits right going into SCP. Valley called out Panarin in particular, saying--what a shocker! because I see it nearly every game--you can't commit the careless giveaways at your own BL, because it immediately flips the switch to constant defensive zone pressure and leaning on Igor.

Maybe it doesn't matter against an undermanned team like BJs and enjoy the ride, but it will against teams when the stakes are high and tight.

First time I've caught a Maloney PG with Kane: scary guy.
very interesting to watch the evolution of the Kids' Line  
ColHowPepper : 3/29/2023 9:46 am : link
at this time of year--high 1st Round picks each of them--become a tenacious forechecking group with long stretches of controlling the puck and storming the opponent's net. Adds a dimension to their good skating entries through neutral ice led by Chytil. Kakko keeps doing a lot of the dirty work that is key to the rushes and puck possession.

Really the only thing left (which is a big thing) is for Kakko and Laffy to figure out how to score more often. Chytl is pretty much there. But this is a well above average third line compared to almost any team with a chance to become dominant if Laffy or Kakko become the type of scoring threats their lofty draft status suggests.

Fair enough. Sometimes I just get caught up in enjoying victories. Rangers were in the Conference Finals last year and looks geared up to make another run. But I agree, the goal should be to win the Stanley Cup. You're not going to achieve that with being careless with the puck.

Their puck possession in the playoffs last year also improved dramatically as the Rangers advanced.
I think Kakko has to have a huge playoffs  
Anakim : 3/29/2023 12:04 pm : link
I think of the three kids, he's the likeliest to get traded in the offseason.
