Now we can go about trying to predict the lines for Thursday
Well that was an experience.
Classic definition of being goalied. Hellebyuck stood on his head tonight and we couldn’t get shit going. Power play did us zero favors, and Shesty is struggling with his game. Despite these woes this the first regulation loss since Boston. Can’t be mad at that.
It is what it is. On to the next one.
Johnny G with the zingggerrrr yowzaaa
Just another thought, but going 0 and 4 on the PP is pretty bad. We score on even ONE of those and the complexion of the game changes completely. I think our PP woes tonight were partially attributed to Hellebuyck being a brick wall, but our PP has been trending down all season so something stinks there.
Hellebuyck goalied us but our defense is not on par for 2021-2022 Igor which he’s not right now
Hellebuyck played a phenomenal game, and our defense had some lapses that cost us. Tough to lose like that when you out play them, but sometimes that happens.
Stevie V makes a good point. We have a habit of warming up opposing goalies.
So obviously not the end of the world loss, like that fucking hurts especially after the last 20 days of Rangers Hockey but we move on
No shame in getting goalied when he literally makes 50 saves. Not much more you can do, can’t win them all unfortunately.
Peaks and valleys boys. You can either be sad and pout or you can have optimism. I’m not pouting
Hellebuyck reverted back to his 2019 Vezina form I see. 50 saves bro wtf
No doom and gloom parties getting worked after 51 shots. Unbelievable game from hellebuyck
One frustrating fucking loss
The league is whack having potential wild card teams with 5-6 games in hand, when are they gonna get a chance to catch up and why are there an outrageous amount of back to backs all across the nhl this year?!
My last note: brodz in lecision out PLEASE
Much needed few days of rest here.
Apparently Igor didnt speak to any media after the game
Connor Hellebuyck tonight was Kirk Mclean during Game 1 1994 Finals.
This was a tough pill to swallow watching from the Garden lower bowl. Massively outshot them and out-chanced them but only one to show on the scoresheet.
How often does a team outshoot their opponent 51-21 and come up with an L?????
Their goalie single-handedly won the game for them while also capitalizing on the few chances they got.
I fully expected a loss tonight simply because for whatever fucking reason, Hellebuyck just plays out of his mind against the rangers. It’s so fucking annoying
So when does the PP go back to what worked?
Shesterkin is now 17-2-3 against the Western conference this season and 34-6-5 in his career.
It’s amazing what this team has accomplished in the last 10 games without him playing that well for a lot of them. He’s a little off his game right now but he and Benny will figure it out.
Hellebuyck was good. Igor was not that good. And that was the story of the game. Also, power play, meh.
This game was frustrating, disappointing, and all of the above. The Jets played a well-executed game. Being honest, people. Defensively they were unbelievable. Connor Hellebuyck was a brick wall. Guess that’s why he’s a Vezina Trophy winning goalie. Like Groundhog Day. He stonewalled the Rangers early in the season and he did it again tonight. Bowness imo should be up for the Jack Adams Trophy. Done a really good job this season after how the Jets previous season was.
Now on to the Rangers tonight. Defensively, they looked like shit. Key taking a dumb puck over the glass penalty which led to a goal. Noticed hes done that a couple of times lately. Igor has been struggling lately. He needs to play more. Why? because he can definitely play out of this funk. Rather play this bad now instead of in the playoffs. Also, too many goals given up early in the game. Playing this comeback type of games isnt healthy. Especially during the playoffs. It has been done before. But you cant live and die by this method. Although I like the shifts the Rangers had when they controlled the puck without shooting was excellent…. For a skills competition. Bad in the neutral zone. But as stated above; the Jets were excellent defensively. The yute line and Trocheck were the Rangers best players, probably Trocheck’s best game as a Ranger.
Having said that, a kick in the pants really. But hey, that’s hockey for ya. Not gonna lie or complain. Games like this can happen ON ANY GIVEN NIGHT IN THE NHL. On any night, those shots the Rangers had in tonight’s game, could have gone in the net. Whatever. Not gonna dwell on it. Onto Detroit on Thursday.
Shoutout to the 2 children pretending to suck dick on the jumbotron, real classy.
Second game I’ve ever been to, 1st was entertaining till it became 0-3, I had hope up until 10 minutes into the 3rd but 50 shots and 1 goal is just painful, we’ve won games that were like that when we had less shots, so I guess it was bound to happen eventually. Still fucking sucks though.
Hopefully igor can figure it out, hasn’t been himself and I’m hoping they keep him in given how he seems to be. Also looked like some terrible reffing all around all again, cannot believe that hit in the middle of the ice on chytil wasn’t a call, among other things.
The first 2 i can let go, the last 2 we really cant. Shesty didnt play great.
They played terribly tonight. I’m shocked to see that they think they played well tonight. They spent half the night chasing the puck. 50 shots and only 1 goal. Very disappointing but Winnipeg was the stronger defensive team tonight. We gave up the puck a lot. I don’t like the new lines. I don’t think they worked and then GG went line blending again. I liked that he let the kids start the game, that was fun. I don’t feel like I watched the same winning team tonight.
I’m not going to get upset about a game where we finished with 51 shots. Start up the streak again.
Not realistic, I know. But I thought the Rangers were going 8-0-2 for every 10 games between now right up to hoisting the Cup. Damn.
Do the Rangers lead the league in puck over glass penalties? It feels like it.
This game was disappointing and very frustrating. We shoot and shoot, and it either goes over or hits the post. Don’t even start talking about Helleybuyck. Also, 21 SOG, 4G? Seriously?
I only watched highlights but Fox took the puck like twice from the blue line and couldve made a good pass and he never did. Like he really wants to score himself.
