A lot of work to do here on the trip, but it’s nice to get that first one" — Peter Laviolette on the Rangers bounce-back win GIF to LOL: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phillyb Posted October 23, 2023 Share Posted October 23, 2023 For the record, it's appalling to only have one game tonight. 2 yesterday, 1 tonight. I get that they don't want to compete with the NFL, but come the fuck on. 3 NHL games in 2 days at the beginning of the season is just bad. I also get that Tuesdays and Thursdays are the NHL's shit, but whatever. I'm ranting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would have been far better to schedule some back-to-backs or home-and-homes, especially for the east coast teams where travel is minimal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ozzy Posted October 24, 2023 Share Posted October 24, 2023 I say just leave 'em be. Not everyone is going to gel right away. I say 10 more games at least, before anything gets changed. I like what Lavvy has going right now. I also like him rewarding players that are on fire. We haven't seen that in quite a long time! Feels good to have a real coach! Yeah just leave the shit alone and let it grow. I think it's way too soon to pass judgement on these combos. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RJWantsTheCup Posted October 24, 2023 Share Posted October 24, 2023 By expected goals Trochek's line is #3 in the league & Zibanejad's #6 so far. Not that you would think that watching the games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that you would think that watching the games. Both of these lines are well ahead in xGF% than the Panarin-Chytil-Lafreniere line, but the "eye test" indicates the Panarin line is the team's best line. It's probably just a matter of that line being the flashiest offensively by a country mile, though they give up more defensively. xGF/xGA per 60 Zibanejad line: 2.94/1.32 Panarin line: 3.82/3.34 Trocheck line: 2.74/1.28 I'd like to see the Zibanejad line generate some more chances, but the xGA is phenomenal. All 3 guys on that line are quality backcheckers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All 3 guys on that line are quality backcheckers. From what I've been seeing, Zibby's line gets the chances, they just aren't hitting the net. And how many twigs has Zibby snapped on a few of his chances already? My count is at 5! LOL I like the balance of the lines so far. I think it's going to get a lot better as we play more games and get adjusted to the forecheck and defensive coverage structure. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, liking the lines and the fact that Lavi isn't throwing them into a blender every period like GG was fond of. Give them time to develope chemistry. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrooksBurner Posted October 24, 2023 Share Posted October 24, 2023 Coming off a complete performance against a quality Kraken team? Check. Several days rest in between games? Check. Game against an inferior opponent? Check. All the makings of a trap game? Check. 5-2 Flames. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once that happens, the Zibby line will start scoring Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
