He had the most open shot in one of the rushes here, passed it, play got broken up. PP coming...

[4EverRangerFrank]

C?mon boys!

[4EverRangerFrank]

Rangers penalty for too many men. 7 Rangers on the ice... someone jumped off to get the extra man but we already had one. Too bad.

[ausman]

Rangers have outplayed Preds pretty thoroughly for the most part. Gotta convert here to make it count.

 

Aw gee, how do you put 7 men on the ice anyway.

[ausman]

Well... that ended as badly as it could.

[Dunny]

Good effort tonight, maddening lack of finishing quality.

 

1st line was MIA. Zibanejad doesn't thrive in tough assignments.

 

Howden and Chytil looked good.

[4EverRangerFrank]

Good effort. We lose this one but many good things happening.

1. We shout pucks.

2. We skate forward again.

3. No more ?drop pass? breakout - thankfully.

4. Young guys not only held their own but are creative.

[AliveIn94]

Phil got his one goal game w solid effort

The Predators far and away had the higher quality and more consistent scoring chances. Lundqvist played a hell of a game and they still lost. Going to be a lot of that this year.

Guys, think we should bring back player of the game polls?

[Blueshirts1926]

That what happens when you final go to the net

you score. Looks like they still have some old AV

habits of 3 in the corner no one at the net. Vesey

needs to learn to lift the puck and stop shooting

on the dam ice.

[AliveIn94]

Rangers played catch-up but look completely different from an AV team, looks like they are buying in quickly.

Thoughts:

 

Vesey was good but needs to capitalize. You can generate as much as you want but it means nothing without results.

 

Defense was bad. Dont have anything positive here. Many blown assignments. Many bad decisions with the puck. Many bailouts by Lundqvist.

 

Forget the goal in garbage time, Buchnevich was the most disappointing player on the ice. Literally invisible. Need a lot more from him.

 

Chytil is going to be good. Just the way he moves around the ice and his offensive ability. Excited about his future.

Buch looked disappointed in himself at the end there.

Namestnikov was invisible and may not be that good without is Tampa Bay talent around

him. Chytl looked very good and once again Hank kept them in it.

Maybe he is out of place on the fourth line that plays a hard-nosed game instead of a more finesse one?

Put him a line with Chytl

Tampa bay did the right of getting rid of Namestnikiov since he's an offensive liability. Hank kept us in the game to bail out our defense that has a lot of work to do as the season progresses. In short, too little, too late tonight

Encouraging. Even with a massive eff up, Shattenkirk almost tied it.

 

This team competed against a good team and weren't an easy night. Preds are gonna be a serious western contender. Wuldn't read too much into it, but better than we thought.

[ThirtyONE]

I liked some of the things I saw. Obviously the odd man rushes against need to be situated but everything else was pretty good. If Jimmy Vesey has any touch at all, we'd have won the game. I was encouraged.

This was a very tough loss against one of the best teams on the road in the league. Shatty almost tied the game but missed it and our defense left too many holes open for NSH to capitalize, but Hank stood strong and gave us a chance to tie the game. Had it not been for his effort, this would've been more of a defeat than people might think

Besides that and most players such as Vesey and Shatty flubbing the puck on key chances, this is a loss that we can improve upon. This might be the MO of our season: we might not always win, but we will be very competitive. Looks like the rebuild has been paying off so far.

He was moved up and down the lineup last year and still sucked. Hoping Quinn can get something out of him.

[Myusername]

All things considered we played a pretty good game. Nashville looked like they were in mid-season form and we stood them up pretty well (well, Hank did mostly)
