GDT [RS] (#52) Rangers @ Chicago Blackhawks — Rule #76: No Excuses; Play Like a Champion

[fletch]

nice break converting on the extra man due to the missing skate blade.

[Pistol Pete]

Add that to the list of reasons why it isn’t always good to block shots…if you can’t get the right position, don’t block it…you have a goalie paid to do it.

[Pistol Pete]

That goal almost feels like they should do like they do in the Tour de France…everyone should stop playing to let the guy with missing blade to get to the bench…

[Scott]

killed off their own penalty pretty easily there

I’m in second row behind hawks g. Best seats I’ve had in my life.

Shame you won't remember it

Time to break the PP slump

[Pistol Pete]

They just seem like they have a specific play in mind for their money shot and aren’t flexing to other options…last PP was the guy in the slot, this one is Zeb on the backdoor…

Actually powerplay 1 was throwing the puck across the crease and crashing the net last shift.  Big improvement over keep-away and no shots.

Sounds like you're having the time of your life bud. Bedard looks pretty good eh?

Yep. Agreed. Everything they are trying to do right now on the PP is aimed at opening up a lane for Panarin to cross ice Mika, Kreider to cross crease Mika, or Fox to hit Mika at the point in his little office on the side. 
 

And the opponents see it too.

 

Need to switch it up.

‘Rangers moving the puck really well…and unfortunately haven’t converted on the power play’. BSBH translation - ‘ pass, pass, pass, PASS’

 

I don’t get a response when I talk to the TV… other than weird looks from other people.

Larmer for trivia?

[Keirik]

Definitely Larmer. Too e z 

[VegasRanger]

Igor throwing some punches.  He's got the fire again.

[RichieNextel305]

Yep. Larmer. Very easy.

[Br4d]

Cuylle totally looks like a young James Caan.  Rollerball!

Red wings-avalanche back in the day was awesome because you could get goalie fights.  good times.

[Pistol Pete]

Laffy is getting better along the boards but still pretty weak.

[Pistol Pete]

Shesty better tighten it up with the rebounds…terrible.

[Br4d]

Shesterkin looks unsettled on a lot of shots.  I wonder if he's still got issues from the hammy?

[mbob]

Good outcome considering how the period started.

 

So Laffy’s scoring streak matches exactly the length of my donut eating streak. I hope he can keep it up, I’m not ready to tap out yet!  But next game I’ll be on the road so no fancy Polish donuts, will grab something krispy
