Flynn Posted October 14, 2021 Share Posted October 14, 2021 Tinordi is fucking amazing.. Lets all go back in a time machine to last January... can you imagine the phrase "Man, we are sure as hell going to miss Jack Johnson" crossing anyones mind?

I don't think you can just go on one game, Simon; I mean...we did play a fairly decent 1st period, but I'm gonna let this team come together for a few games before I pass any judgement on them. I figure at least 10 games, and even that's a very small sample size. I liked them finishing checks and the first period was a pretty decent go of it. Kakko should've buried 2 goals I thought. Panarin and Zibby, I don't remember if they even had any shots on goal. I read through all the GDT posts and I saw a couple guys ready to jump off a cliff. WAY too early for that I believe; New coach, new teammates, new system, new attitude...against now NHL ready players, and not AHL pre season players. We'll get there, my man! We have the team we need to compete now, and other than Georgiev, I'm confident in these guys, and especially Gallant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharpshooter Posted October 14, 2021 Share Posted October 14, 2021 They were really good saves, but yeah, Kakko really needed to finish at least one of those. If he does, it's a 1-1 game and perhaps things go differently. His good play from the preseason carried over, which was good to see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dude, give 'em a few games to get used to playing together. Did you really expect this team to just jump out on the ice with all new parts and light up the city?

RJWantsTheCup Posted October 14, 2021 Share Posted October 14, 2021 The first opportunity for Kakko on the pass from behind the net has to be buried, you can't hit the goalie in the chest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharpshooter Posted October 14, 2021 Share Posted October 14, 2021 Shooting directly into a goaltender's chest. He's officially a Ranger now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's fine...so they go out there tonight, and play a better, smarter game and win one, grinding Dallas into dog meat along the boards, and possibly put in a cookie or 2, and all's good again?

RichieNextel305 Posted October 14, 2021 Share Posted October 14, 2021 Yeah far too early to panic. When Panarin and Zibanejad along with others start filling the net (hopefully tonight) we will all take two steps back from the ledge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharpshooter Posted October 14, 2021 Share Posted October 14, 2021 Yeah, hopefully much better games from them tonight for the home opener. It'll be nice to have a full house at MSG again. I thought Panarin was fine, great puck movement as usual. Zibanejad was basically invisible all game, so he'll need to be more involved, or just involved in general.

Keirik Posted October 14, 2021 Share Posted October 14, 2021 The entire top 6 except Panarin were basically non factors last night. That can only improve since there is zero chance that stays a narrative. I sure do hope though that Alf and Kakko show themselves to be top 6 asap because if they don't..... There isn't much help elsewhere Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sod16 Posted October 14, 2021 Share Posted October 14, 2021 (edited) With the log jam of talent we had on D, if at the end of last year you'd told me that on opening night this year we'd have in the lineup a 29 year old predominately minor league D-man with fewer than 100 NHL games under his belt, I would have never believed you. Oh, but Tinordi's presence had Tom Wilson quaking in his skates. Edited October 14, 2021 by Sod16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just because there happened not to be a fight doesn't mean it was a waste. Otherwise you end up with Strome fighting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
