GDT [RS] (#56) Rangers vs. Dallas Stars — Don't Get Stankin' Wedgewooded

Great gritty win.  

Is this the turnaround of Igor?  If so, watch out.

Krappo Kaako looks comfortable on the 3rd line, what a snipe and hopefully we have more of that.

You're so right but that is so not Ranger style.

 

I expect them to make a couple of moves that will slow this wrecking ball down and go back to trying to find chemistry. There is nothing to upgrade when you look like they did last night.

But there is when you look at the body of work. And nobody should make decisions based on one game.

He’s starting to go at this point.

Healthy again. Playing with 2 guys that he has some chemistry with.

And I think the big thing is that he’s not feeling squeezed to score. He’s just playing a role and playing hockey. 
 

If he keeps playing like this, he could in a way be a pseudo deadline add.

I agree with a lot of this, the only thing I would reframe is that I believe he actually does think that it's his job to score on this line.

 

You could tell how much more he's shooting the puck. And when he shoots the puck, it winds up in the net either on his own or by rebound.

 

His shot is incredibly hard for goalies to handle.

I would agree with that.

But I don’t think it’s quite the same as 1st line kind of pressure.

He's got that "lost art"  Snap-shot, that's absolutely lethal.  I hate to say it but it's almost.... "Messier-like". 

 

Now just keep using it, kid!!!

Oh . It's about role. On the first line he thought his role was to get the puck to the other guys. On this line he knows it's his role to create for the other guys.

I think this may be the corner he’s turning now offensively.

Unfortunately, the role he seems to play well, will always be diminished by his draft status.

Not if he’s evolving into more.

That would definitely be a choice everybody makes personally.

Good win, great winning 8 games in a row but hardly a clinic based on this statistical few. Although I remain confident you can always find a set of stats to fit the agenda you want to portray. * not you but in general
