Pistol Pete

Bob should have played the puck…he could have killed way more time than the icing….

Here’s my take/hope/assessment/fear: Rangers have shown they can play a hard hitting game for a period of time…they did it for a few week stretch…They’re now near the top of the league which is good and bad…good because playoffs are pretty much assured. Bad because you could fall into the trap of going all out to try and get that top spot, and in doing so, wind up like Boston last season…early exit from the playoffs. So, I’m fine with the less than 100% effort, but it can bite you if you don’t ramp it up in time to peak come playoffs…tough situation. No way you keep up peak performance for the last 20 games and playoffs…

Worst slide ever by Fox…

No way defenseman should have been pinching on that…everyone deep

Enough on Kreider, but every time I ride him like Zorro he scores a couple of goals…so, there’s that…

That was a perfect example of Kreider’s laziness…Bread was all alone in the Ozone so he pushed hard to make space and time for himself while others joined…Kreider just tried not to get hurt and turned it over…

Um…hello! He scored on that breakaway from a foot away! (The empty netter one…we know he’s about 0 for 15 on real breakaways where people chase you and might hit you).

He literally sat at the red line just watching the play and then realized it was being wrapped around for him and then he decided to skate it and do a beautiful rink turn and was the last guy back on the backcheck…totally useless outside 15 feet circle of the offensive net.

Nice job giving it away Kreids…don’t get hurt.

Some of the worst d positioning by a wing by Kreider…instead of looking for breakaway passes, he needs to cut off the cross ice pass and keep it along the boards…

Can’t say enough of the Dmen…all of them…

Biggest plus tonight was shutting down Pasta after the disasterous coverage against the Lightening stars…

Great win for Quicky….

Using the instant yeast tonight baby!!!

And there’s Kreider just getting in the way…dude just needs to post up in front and stay there whenever he’s on the ice. He has no clue what to do anywhere else…

Kreider in space again tonight…one decent shift and a bunch of skating around aimlessly…still can’t score on a breakaway where there’s a goalie in the net.

Glider could have helped out by flying up the ice once Bread got that puck…

Quick is beating the Penguins…the rest of the team is just watching the game.

No clue what Lindgren was doing on that one…no need for him to be behind the net helping out….

Quick’s a dumbass for not wearing a dangler or a longer neck guard….no reason not to…

The more concerning long term issue is the front of the opponent’s net…Rangers don’t seem to recover many rebounds…as a result, they look for the perfect play to score on instead of throwing pucks in front and fighting for rebounds…All the other stuff is something you can watch on tape and figure out…can’t teach guys how to fight for pucks in front…

Not sure how many more times the Rangers need to give up a shot from the opposite dot before they figure out how to cover it….I think it’s only been 7 this game…

Rangers defense is an absolute shit show the last couple of games…completely undiscipline and extremely dumb.

That’s the difference between getting the puck to the net when you can, and dicking around with it looking for the perfect play…

They played some of the smartest hockey I’ve ever seen from any team in the first period, and devolved into scrimmage beer league hockey by mid 3rd period…absolute melt down…they need to regroup…coach should call a timeout.
