Make him work for it. That's not shot volume, it's shot quality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In all reality, quality beats quantity, hence passing around and possessing before shooting. My hockey strategy: Gain zone, go wide, shoot, back to the blue line. I guess this is why I never became anything. Haha 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there were no special teams last game, Carolina probably would have had a higher probability of scoring a pinball goal. Eventually that chuck from the blue line hits 3 skates on the way in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrooksBurner Posted May 10 Share Posted May 10 This is probably obvious, but they can’t let this series go past 5 games. If it gets to 6, it’s probably going 7. Do the easy thing. Show up as focused and in a must win state of mind tomorrow, and just win baby. Then rest up and watch the bloodbath that is the Florida/Boston series. 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know in the past there's been trepidation about Panarin and Mika, but they have been great, and consistently so. 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last time Kakko was truly buzzing, it was on the same line with Chytil. That Cuylle-Wennberg-Kakko line had been responsible and you could trust it not to blow the game, but they weren't contributing a lick offensively.

I'd still like to see Chyts centering Kakko & Cools on the 3rd, with Wennberg dropped to centering the 4th. Won't win many faceoffs, but I feel like it generates a little more offense. And when Goodie was on the wing late in the season is when he started scoring. Dunno, just a shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'd be interesting to see for sure. I wouldn't mind seeing it in this run, but it'd be a great line to see out of the gate next year. IDK what it is about Wennberg though. He's got very little going on offensively, but there's a lot of trust in him just making the right simple plays. He doesn't really panic with the puck in any zone. He knows when to settle it down when things might be getting hairy. He's a cool customer, and is probably a good anchor between Chytil and Kakko. I think I'd pass on moving any of the Rangers' centers around unless they need a jolt. Edited May 10 by BrooksBurner 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They gave us EVERYTHING they had in the tank, and it wasn't enough. We weathered their bullshit, and made them our OT bitch again. We polish off these pesky pricks on Saturday night! ...might even be a bit of a blowout! Edited May 10 by Ozzy 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At this point i don’t think anyone will make anything out of Kakko. There’s nothing there, not even one semi chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of his best weapons is his ability/willingness to take the puck directly to the net and #CauseChaos in front. He did it two or three times last night.

He's pretty shit on the rush. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
