Karan Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 Pionk's goal better be the #1 highlight of the night. That play alone was worth the price of admission. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CBrowningPI Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 It just may be the popular opinion, but Jesus, Mary and Hank, I cannot embrace the tank. I don't have the mental fortitude for it. WHAT a Game. If they lost, it would have sucked. Sent from my SM-N900T using Blueshirts Brotherhood mobile app powered by Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThirtyONE Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 That was the best Ranger game I've watched in 3+ years. I'm impressed with how the guys are sticking up for one another -- perhaps the single most positive sign I've seen in some time. I hoped AV's passive shit would go with him and it feels like it finally is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Progrocker Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 Loved that look of pure anguish on Gallagher's face at the final buzzer. Fucking mosquito. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But more often than not they'll play well enough to lose. They're not competitive enough to do anything other than eek into the playoffs. They have no chance at a Cup, especially if they sell free agents which they MUST DO. So just eeking in isn't gonna help. For this team right now, if you're not gonna win the cup, get the highest pick you can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuc Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 Only caught parts of the first period, Chytil looked good. Me too, and I thought Skjei looked fresh. Played physical, used his speed well. How did he do the rest of the game? And what about Lias? Will he stay or get sent down again? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunny Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 After his two bad penalties, Lias played really well, was very noticeable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

" Eeking in " doesn't necessarily mean a team can't go on to possibly win the cup. Check out the Canucks -7th place finishers in '94 - battling the NYR down to a one goal 7th game. That series could have gone either way. I'm for rooting on the Rangers to win every game. Not a fan that dreams of high draft picks by losing; most don't pan out as expected. Last nite's victory, although not perfect, shows us all what happens when teams stick together and play with a purpose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CBrowningPI Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 I thought Lias played a strong game. He also won 7 out of 9 faceoffs. Sent from my SM-N900T using Blueshirts Brotherhood mobile app powered by Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hoped AV's passive shit would go with him and it feels like it finally is. I know it's been a pretty damn good stretch of late, and even though it's still going to have it's shares of low points...today is a day to celebrate a little bit. I'm really loving this new attitude and these guys are seeming to play for one another...HARD! Quinn has been such a breath of fresh air so far. ...and that Pionk?? ...looked like the Leetch spin-a-rama play! I literally jumped out of my chair...I've played it back 10 times already on you tube! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThirtyONE Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 I want to give a shout out to Tony D as well. Scored a huge goal and was first in to stick up for his teammates. I feel like he’s slowly coming in to his own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will he stay or get sent down again? Skjei and ADA were almost flawless, strong with the puck in all zones and dominant at times. Pionk and Staal were very steady till around the 3rd when they turned it up a notch. Staal made a bunch of good plays and Pionk then did Bobby Orr. Smith is playing with strength and confidence and Shatty only fouled up a couple of times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel like he’s slowly coming in to his own. And the kid is a heck of a passer too. NHL network today praising him for "handling pressure in his own end w/o needing to scrum it up". I prefer he uses skill and finesse instead of getting tangled up and trying to be physical to overcompensate for his size. It may be what Dude was saying about him being overly physical at times and that he needs to pick his spots. I don't need him to be too gritty, but I do love when he takes the body to ride off the puck carrier. Or when he sticks up for teammates and doesn't get pushed around. He's a smaller guy though. Don't want him to drop his gloves unless it is really warranted (he is a bit too willing) or it Gallagher/Marchand. Forget his head, he needs to protect his hands.

That's just about the most involved I've seen Staal in the last several years. I think Quinn is rubbing off on him as well...Great sign! If Staal can give that kind of effort going forward, I'll like it a lot more! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albatrosss Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 its still early but if they keep playing like this, it would be dark ages all over again. either fucking tank or go all the way for it. don't be a .500 team and finish 19th in the standing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gravesy Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 It’s still early. I still expect them to suck. But Quinn’s got these guys playing at the moment. No doubt about it. I really like the response from the players he’s benched. He’s got their ear, that looks evident. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thing is, I think this is just a fluctuation and they'll only be worse when they sell the bigger pieces anyway. So they should come back to earth. Hopefully in time to sink far enough that they earn a top-five draft spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
