Weird how we just turtles the last few minutes after playing hard to tie it up.
I love Laffy but he really cannot finish. Not sure why because he clearly has talent and skill but all his shots seem to go right at the goalie or very wide. He needs to really practice shooting all the time because with Panarin and Trocheck, he should have 20 goals easily by now.
Feels like tonight was a gateway for Laviolette being bored of wheeler on the top line. He’s started blending everyone there.
Championship caliber teams don’t lose to teams like that. Pathetic embarrassing loss
Edit – cope and downvote me
I wish we got to see Fox and Miller in the shootout more
Three way tie at the top. Jets, Bruins and Rangers all at 54 pts and win % of 0.711.
Gonna keep it short, glad we kept it close and came back, but this bottom east team had no business scoring 3 goals(it couldve been much worse) Get better and play consistently!
Anybody else watch on MSG+ and have the stream be absolute dog crap? Especially late in regulation and throughout OT and the shootout. Constant freezes and drops in resolution. Definitely not a connection problem as I tested 200+ mbps while the issues were happening.
One of the most entertaining games I’ve seen in a while
That you can’t even entertain putting one of your first line wings in overtime says all you need to know about what Drury has to be laser focused on upgrading if this team is serious about making a push
Quiet game from Othmann tonight, which is disappointing
no idea what the gameplan is for winning in the playoffs when you only have [one line doing anything offensively 5v5](https://pbs.twimg.com/media/GDNA9tcWIAA42V8?format=png&name=900×900)
one thing i know for sure though is that, in the event of injuries to multiple forwards, NYR will not do better offensively by giving Bonino, Wheeler, and Goodrow more ice time, while keeping Othmann strapped to the bench. the lack of scoring 5v5 is a massive problem, dating back multiple seasons, and it’s absurd that they continue trying to run 20/93/17, which has only been on the ice for 10 5v5 goals in the last 20 games with a 43% xGF%, along with putting one of bonino/goodrow in the top 9
NYR is a shot blocking team, injuries are inevitable and they need to have *actual* depth if they want to make a run here. being a team that’s 1 or 2 injuries away from a forward group like *this* is not viable over the course of the rest of the season and into the playoffs. time to run:
20/93/26
10/16/13
50/22/78
21/84/17
Fk’n Laffy. He shoulda couilda but didn’t
that penalty was bs with 11 sec’s left.
Miller is a turn over machine. The east west crap in you own end was brutal.
Extremely lucky we didn’t straight out lose that one. Lots of lethargic skating out there, Habs forwards taking uncontested shots (which dinged off the post), turnovers galore in the o-zone. I’m thankful the boys battled back for the tie, and got a point out of it, but they should’ve spanked Montreal tonight. Can’t let a struggling team like that out skate us and lock us down to the point where mistakes are made.
Anywho hope the boys sharpen up; Monday is going to test this team. See ya then.
The “Laffy can’t shoot” takes aren’t justified imo.
His shooting % this year is 11% which is fine. It’s higher than Trocheck’s.
Listen I hate the loss but..I have a soft spot for chubby goalies, dude looked like he was gonna puke up his lunch but still stopped 50
Why is Winnipeg above us in the standings? I thought wins was the tie-breaker
If we’re not going to play othmann with capable line mates, send him down
Sucks we lost but that was a really fun game to watch.
Fun game, but a bit too loose. The way Montreal generated chances off the rush was way too easy especially late in the 3rd. Quick made a bunch of game saving saves to get it to OT.
Have to be happy that this group didn’t fold at 0-3 though. They really fought their way back with consistent forecheck pressure, getting bodies to the net against a goalie who was on his game.
Take the point, clean up the rush defense, and move forward.
Hey Drury you know what team has a ton of cap space and has about 10 players on IR who would love guys like Bonino and Goodrow. Chicago, how about you give them a call.
Tough loss, I went up to Montreal for it. As aggravating as it was, I love this arena, the energy is off the charts.
A game where they really didn’t feel like they were gonna win this game but this was a game that they deserved the point. I’m disappointed about the way too many times the rangers let the habs cycle the puck around on the forecheck in their zone. too many rushes given up, D looked bad, way too my turnovers, Luckly JQ was able to make saves.
Disappointed? Yeah. But the game was ended on a skills competition. the 3 on 3 is amazing, even in a loss. Shootout is really a luck of the draw. It is what is. Got a point, they can take it. I’m okay w/the pt. But play better.
onto to the Canucks.
The 2020 draft held an [American version](https://www.nhl.com/kings/player/alex-laferriere-8482155) of Laf?
Put themselves in a hole with another slow start, and it’s becoming more frequent. I don’t mean just to start the game, it also happens between periods or right after they score and it’s burning them.
Give up 2 to start the second tonight- which gave them enough of a cushion to hold out once the Rangers took over.
Score a huge shorthanded goal to tie Florida late in the third – losing again 122 secs later
Gave up one in the first 2 periods against the Caps – lost 4-0
They come out slow against Toronto and the game was over after 10 mins.
Down 2 to start the 3rd against Carolina – two mins into it, it becomes a 4 goal lead.
Winning 1-0 against Edmonton starting the third – 6 mins and it’s 3-1 Oilers.
Up 1 in Dallas – game tied in the first min of the third, lose 6-3
…and there’s more. This is a huge problem come playoff time where it’s infinitely harder to claw ourselves back into the game.
