    My post from 7:28 am this morning.

    Tonight Igor skakes to his net looks up at the screaming delirious crowd smiles and says to himself “It could be worse it could be raining.” Then proceeds to slam the door shut on the storm surge!

  136. JBytes Avatar

    They were harder on the boards; they challenged in the neutral zone; they got the puck out of the defensive zone with a lot more urgency; the blocked shots like there was no tomorrow; they scored early and took the crowd out. Oh, and Trouba. That was truly a masterful performance.

    It was mentioned on the previous thread and think it bears repeating…I don’t remember a single poster here hating Chytil.

    I do think the drama queen overreacting to him playing his career best hockey this post season and then fabricating people hating him pretty amusing though….for now.

    I can’t remember who it was during the regular season that said in regards to Chytil and people confusing honest assessment with “hating a player”

    Iirc the post was something like this (paraphrasing if course)

    Chytil is super talented but normally just plays one zone, is bad on draws, and has a soft game for a bigger guy but it’d be great if he scored 100 goals and 200 points and helped the rangers win the Cup this year.

    Kudos and bravo on all fronts with that comment!!

    Absolutely coos. That’s the point about folks trying to make player “hate” out of a guy playing his best career hockey after 5 nhl seasons with a few goals in the post season.
