Kreider one away from 40. Let’s get it today

How can you not love Kreider? He makes it look so easy

Laviolette is going to rip 3 new assholes into the team during intermission. That was bad.

They're not coming back in this one. They've got nothing against a team fighting for everything.

You’re probably right. Maybe I’ll just watch the Bruins-Canes game instead

Go to bed now. They're toast in this one.

I’ve done that after bad starts before and it sucks when they end up making a comeback..

if they get the next goal everything’s possible. 4-0 and it’s done tho

PK might be just what we need, time for a big shortie

Next goal…

decides if I go to bed. 4-0 and I’m done

Holy shit this is bad

Timeout?

Shit… I’m not surprised tbh. Rangers refuse to have good starts against Isles, it’s the same every game.

And this game means more to them. It’s as close to a must win as it gets.

Kreider having a rough few seconds there lol

Islanders playing like a team that must win, Rangers not so much.

I'm perfectly fine with Trocheck as the "1C" and Zibanejad being a Selke-level 2C who puts up his .8 points/game. Fine by me. 

In theory that's all fine, I have no problem with that either, the problem is that no team is winning a cup with mostly one line producing all the ES goals, it's just not sustainable in the playoffs. "0.8 p/pg Selke-level 2C" sounds great, but when you dig a bit deeper the numbers are more concering than that, primarily his struggles at scoring 5v5, which affects the entire line since Kreider is no playmaker and Drury decided to not go for a game-changer and just get another passanger on that line.

I might sound overly pessimistic here, I'm not. I believe in Zib and I really think he'll get it done in the playoffs, but he needs to be better than he has for the past 70 games and that's just a fact.

I'm not ready to Nash-ify Zibanejad just yet. He's good enough to produce offense without sacrificing the defensive side of the game, so I'm not gonna be okay with him performing below expected offensively just because he's a solid two-way forward.

He needs to do exactly what he's been doing all season because the team is having success.

 

Like everyone else on the team, he needs to maintain. Anything extra is gravy. 

So we're going into the playoffs expecting Panarin to keep his 0.58 G/PG and 0.88 A/PG (1.47 P/PG) while his career playoff average is 0.81 P/PG? That's a recipe for disappointment right there.

We're not winning anything if Zibanejad (and his line) doesn't step it up in the playoffs. We're gonna need 2021 Zib (10 goals, 24 points in 20 games) and not 2022 Zib (1g, 4p in 7 games).

We said the same about Fox and Shesterkin earlier in the season (and Panarin before the season). We're not winning anything unless our best and most important players (G, 1D, 1C + Panarin) are playing their best hockey in the playoffs. The other 3 are doing it right now, Zib needs to do the same.

Just 9 short of a career high now. Can he do it?

That’s my boy!

WHAT

THE

FUCK

God I hate that kid

What the hell was that lol. Almost shot it over the glass

Laffy on fire!

Damn that’s close, nice!

Now score again

No replay?
