TwoMinutesForNothing Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 Whale win it 3-2. Great comeback win. 5 game win streak now, including three wins in the last three days. Same players as usual were impressive. Mashinter, Thomas, Newbury, and Haley. Segal was also very good in this one and by the 3rd had replaced Palmieri on the top line with Newbury and Mashinter. Thomas likes to go for the Rick Nash type one on one moves, and he manages to pull them off at a pretty good rate, he just didn't finish. One play he dangled through two guys and got through but the goalie poked it away. On another he made a nice power move and lowered his shoulder to drive a defender to the net. Almost finished it, but the goalie made the save. Nice to see a big power move from such a small guy. Like that mentality. The Whale got more great goaltending, this time from Missiaen. Steady defensive play outside of a few shaky moments, however Vernace never returned from his injury so that could be a big blow going forward if it's serious. Luckily they had Pyett in at forward so he just switched back to D after Vernace left. It seems that Mashinter should be called up soon. He is excelling at everything and his skating is better than I ever thought. Perhaps they want him to remain in this environment for a while in order to let his new strides really set in. That would be the only explanation for keeping him down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwoMinutesForNothing Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 From your posts it sounds like Toffoli is having one hell of a game himself, eh? Yeah, Toffoli and Thomas were going back and forth for a while just taking the puck and trying to snipe. Both very impressive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
josh Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 Any fear of McIlrath getting in over his head with some fight opponents in his first year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rizz GAWD Lav No Cap FrFr Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 Hopefully Thomas doesn't get type-cast as the prototypical AHL scorer the way a lot of smaller guys do. He's got an NHL game imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwoMinutesForNothing Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 Any fear of McIlrath getting in over his head with some fight opponents in his first year? He's huge and strong as hell. He's fought some really big, tough guys already. I don't think anyone is gonna knock him out, but if he loses a fight he'll take it as a learning experience. He has a great personality and I don't think he's ever going to become timid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's got an NHL game imo. His shot alone will get him a look at some point. It would look really good on our PP. It's the type of shot that many fans have been clamoring for for years.

TwoMinutesForNothing Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 Finally sitting down to watch another Whale game and the stream is broken. This sucks. Kreider just tied the game at 1 off of a primary assist from McIlrath. Ferriero with the other helper. If they get video up later I'll describe it.

TwoMinutesForNothing Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 Ok now a scoring change makes it Ferriero's goal from Kreider and McIlrath. I'm assuming he must have tipped it in. Pyett has since given the Whale the lead from Segal and Newbury. 2-1 after 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwoMinutesForNothing Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 Feed finally started working. Mashinter hammers home a rebound to make it 3-1 Whale. Assists to Segal and Yogan. Good work in front of the net. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwoMinutesForNothing Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 2 periods over. The first goal was actually a McIlrath point shot that was double deflected by Kreider and then Ferriero. The 3rd goal was changed to Segal's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TwoMinutesForNothing Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 Kreider has actually been using his speed all game in puck pursuit and has been very effective in getting in on the forecheck. All the things he wasn't doing for the Rangers. Looks good, but still leaving a bit to be desired with puck handling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwoMinutesForNothing Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 After a massive scramble in front with bodies everywhere for what seemed like forever, the Phantoms find a way to put it in to take a 4-3 lead.

NYRangers723 Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 i think its time to bring kreider up. he seems to be using his strengths now and the rangers need offense Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwoMinutesForNothing Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 Kreider scored shorthanded on a breakaway today. Had a great game forechecking, playing aggressive and using his speed. Still think he needs to do this consistently before getting called back up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
