That was for 3rd period/OT only, but the OT goal shifted Freddy into the negative on high danger. It only reached 2OT because he also made plenty of really good saves, high danger included. “Just about” wasn’t good enough though that’s why I said it lol

It could be. I missed portions of the 1st/2nd because kids bedtime so I could have missed waves of Carolina domination, but this was Valley sharing expected for the 3rd and OT where I was glued to the tv… Way more even in expected and in line with what I was seeing. After Kreider’s goal the goalies were so good

That graphic feels way off. NST had it way more even both at 5v5 and all strengths, and as I watched the game I thought it was way more even without even looking. Not taking away from Igor at all but I thought Freddy had to be just about as good. People have to dig deeper than shot differential. Typically Carolina also dominates at high danger and that’s where the ice tilts. They haven’t here at all, and the low danger bullshit is like posting thoughts and prayers on facebook after a tragedy

He has been, but DeAngelo replaced him and has been very good in the first 2 games even though nobody probably wants to admit that. Also, that stinks. We've missed Chytil all season. Thems the breaks.

NYR 5v5 through 2 games: 4 GF 4 GA, 50.42 xGF%, 22-19 HDCF, 48-57 SC (all scoring chances) The results are even and they deserve to be even. Don't care about total scoring chance differences when high danger is at least balanced, and so far slightly in the Rangers' favor. This all backs up the eye test through the first 2. The teams have traded chances at 5v5. The fact the Rangers have been able to essentially nullify the 5v5 advantage, and lean into their strengths on special teams and in net, is a terrific start to the series. Hoping this tune carries forward into Raleigh...

This reads like an oxymoron. Reasons to dislike him despite all those reasons to like him are…? Fucked your wife while you were golfing?

His brain is why he’s a top 2 defenseman and top 10ish player in the league, so it’s ok

I haven’t been disappointed in either yet thus far this playoff run.

A series changing injury? As in Chytil gets hurt and that's a rallying point for the Canes to win the series? I get the hesitation but if Chytil is flying and passing everything in practices, he's a major upgrade in the lineup and he's already shown he can be effective in the playoffs in the past.

I wouldn’t take Rempe out for Brodz. Only to get Chytil in if he’s ready

Do set ups on the rush count less?

I agree but is Aho really a better setup man than Zibanejad? Maybe he doesn't need as much help as you (and I) thought.

"I know you are but what am i" LMAO

Why do you care is the better question? Don’t see the harm in analyzing the move after some time has passed. Drury has had many moves not work out for him, and the decision he made between Strome and Trocheck is one in the win column. Big win.
