Pucked in the head Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 Who's the next monkey on our back that we have to shed ? (cbj, nyr) it seems like they are ready to right old ships and turn the tables on the teams who may have had our number Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pucked in the head Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 Another Big win and another big step towards the playoffs, but you know what they always say, one step forward two steps back (I hope is not the case) but with neuvy going down does that force our hand on acquiring a goalie now? Can't see hexy staying put now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey maybe that's just what he needed, to get the first goal under his belt , now if he could quietly score 10 goals, like Laughton (to my surprise) he might end up contributing after all! Hey a guy can dream can't he?lol Pucked: I think the guy has played a responsible game. He has skill. Yeah, I would like to see some more scoring too. He has made some good passes of late. Maybe part of his problem is line mates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pucked in the head Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 Anyone still on waivers? I don't really want to give up anyone too valuable, now or in the future! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pucked in the head Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 Howie, true ! God knows coach hasn't been using ALL of his players to the best of their skills, don't know if you caught the comments re: G not playing center til he got to the pro's , well if you liked him enough to draft him based on his performances, then why make him change position we he obviously caught your eye in the first place? He's tearing it up on the wing now, imagine had he stayed at wing from the start of his career? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pucked in the head Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 Maybe they should try to use him like schenn or simmer ,big body in front, hopefully get some deflections and a few more goals from him, I'd settle for 7-8 goals based on his performance so far, hopefully like I said it's the monkey off his back now too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TropicalFruitGirl26 Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 I watched parts of this game and two things sprung to mind immediately: 1) Though its no big surprise, but yea, the Rangers are $#@ing done this year. Blow it up, break out the draft board spreadsheets, start looking at minor league rosters, done. Fini. Bitmis. Kaput. Acabado. 2) That Tony DeAngelo has some set of grapefruits going after Wayne Simmonds. I mean, I know DeAngelo is a fiery guy, but Wayne Simmonds is probably not the the guy you wanna go after to make a point of any sort. DeAngelo has been trying real hard to stick in the NHL (he is still raw and young though), but man, fighting with Simmonds is just the 'hard way to do things'. Simmonds looked like he really didn't wanna clobber the much smaller DeAngelo, but ultimately, in about one shot or two, he felled DeAngelo and the refs quickly got in there. Tony, I like your fire, I like your determination and willingness to do whatever it takes to spark your team, but don't go around picking fights with players like Simmonds....doesn't bode well for your future endeavors in the NHL...

Woah bro.......i wake up before work to find you got your wish....7-4 dayum! Mcdud and Lehtera joining in??? AMAZING! However i see Neuvy is hurt....trip over the blueline and sprain his vag. Nice to see a win in Columbus and New York in the same week. Great way to start my day. I only seen the highlights but nice to see Lyon come in make 25 stops and get his first win. I will have to ask on how he did redeeming himself in net?? Guess Neuvy being hurt now will force a trade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope these guys don't play down to the competition........fingers crossed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OccamsRazor Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 Well one thing i would do is take this week to take a loooooooooooooooog look at Lyon before you do anything drastic before the deadline...it is only one game....i say like his other games you can't get to low on his not so great play and you can't be so high on his good play....how does he look stringing together games. Now the time to see. Ghost got lucky Buchnevich didn't bust out his Alex Semin boxing moves.... Not even sure what this dumb ass was thinking??? Is he crazy??? He be pushin up daisies like that. Flyer's keystone cops Gudas and Manning left Lyon out to dry on this one... Much better in his movement in net... His positioning looks much better. And dude this kid's wrister is wicked!!!!!! And then G thang with his 200th.....icing on the cake. Celly for your first win kid and ice up son they gonna need you. Great team win. 6-2-2 in the last 10!

Howie58 Posted February 19, 2018 Author Share Posted February 19, 2018 There is another thread on the goalie situation but I have to wonder if Neuvy's days are numbered in Philly if they bring in someone else, even someone with an expiring contract. The guy is brittle and inconsistent. He is taking a slot space. Hexy has stated that the old farts shouldn't hold back progress of the youngins. Do we need another year of this?

brelic Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 Konecny with a wicked 3 point night. He’s quickly becoming our most creative and dangerous forward. He’s a much better fit than Jake on the top line because he can pass like G and finish like Coots. And much smarter with the puck than Jake. In the last 23 games, he has 24 points, 6 multi-point games, and 6 game winning goals. That’s impressive! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is fun to watch on the top line, he is always thinking to attack and is super quick with his feet and decision making, his vision is Giroux-like. I really think he needed to be with other fast, smart players. I don't think guys further down the roster "got him". The play he made to Couturier in the OT vs Columbus was ****** sublime...for that matter so was 14's shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brelic Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 Apparently 20-year old Giroux made his NHL debut 10 years ago today, playing 9:27 against the Sens. He scored his first NHL goal the next season, at 21. It’s a nice reminder that players need time to develop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And also, that 7 or 8 years down the road, one's hot hockey prospect can also be caught grabbing cops' butts. Hey, I don't make this stuff up, I just report what happens.....
