Pre-Game Talk: 1/14/16 Rangers @ Isles

[Revel]

Fantastic use of this Gif. AV is being such an ass about Girardi.

 

[Miamipuck]

I'd be down to trade coaches. Seriously. I absolutely love the Rangers and this team has a lot of players I really like, it just seems AV chooses not to play them in favor of plugs.

This is the most frustrating season for me as a fan. I was in the dark ages but those teams were just bad. This team could win, but AV is single handedly destroying it with his incomprehensible decisions.

How can the whole world see Yandle and mcilraths talent as a pairing and he doesn't? When in his decade as a professional has Girardi ever handled a puck well? It's gone beyond reality with him. The guy above is right, he may need to be put in a psych ward.

If we lost Yandle, McIlrath and stralman because of himI may actually lose my mind.

Would you like me to have NYPD put out an APB for you?

 

[Lame Lambert]

Kinda looks like Vigneault's perpetually sloppy pudgier younger brother.

Yah, we've got the same thing,kids not playing so pet rocks and D men with one leg and one hand can play.

My roommate is a Rangers fan and I watch most of the games with him, so trust me I know. All day long I hear it "God damn it!!! ****ing Tanner Glass!"

BRB, gonna' call ESU for the confirmed EDP...

The pain is real.

 

[Off Sides]

But was he the coaches pet rock like that "Consummate Professional" Tanner Glass?

No Ortmeyer was what we all wish Glass had any chance of even remotely being, a good 4th liner who did not produce much but still more than Glass.

 

[Off Sides]

Glass is 1 of 15 non rookie forwards league wide who has played in at least 19 games and has 2 or less points so far this season. Out of those 15 players, 7 have an equal or worse plus minus

There are 7 or so other Glass types league wide?

Wonder if they too are benching rookies who have played relatively well or 2nd year guys who just scored in their last game for them?

I miss Freddie Shoes.

 

[Miller Time NYR]

Just got an apartment in BK gotta get some ink for my printer so I can snag some tix at 650, hopefully this doesn't end like the last one. Hopefully Mcilrath is in for the bag of bones Girardi.

OMG they really do look alike!

I yell this regularly when I watch games. My sons are used to it.

My 4 year old always hears them yelling "Zuccarello" so sure enough he was running around the house yelling "Zuccarello" Sunday...good times.

My sons are older, one is grown and one is a teen so they know mom's "hockey mouth". LOL!!

[bl02]

How can lindberg not be in this lineup somewhere?! So frustrating. I guess the coaches are seeing something on the game tapes that we don't? I don't get it.

 

[Mikos87]

I'd go

Miller-Brass-Zucc
Kredier-Step-Nash
Lindberg-Hayes-Fast
Stalberg-Moore-Megna

for a stretch and see if

a- Kreider shows up or gets showcased

b- Hustle and grind on the 4th line. Moore's lost a step so you cover him with more speed.

c- How Hayes fares with two defensively reliable forwards, one of which is a center that can take draws.

d- Mandate the Miller-Brass-Zucc combo to shoot more instead of over passing it.

Makes too much sense

If Girardi is hurt or even if not

Yandle-McIrath played well together
McD-Klein has looked decent enough at times
Boyle-Staal, well whatever, who cares just get the other stuff right.

 

[rangers1314]

Listening to AV's post-prax comments, it sounds very much like Girardi won't play tomorrow.

So much this... Brass is my favorite, but the number of times he's 5-10 feet from the net and passes it instead of shooting is maddening. Plus, my fantasy team.

 

[we want cup]

Listening to AV's post-prax comments, it sounds very much like Girardi won't play tomorrow.

Hopefully he's gotten smart and is now going to get McIlrath into the lineup and let Girardi actually get healthy.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

Jed Ortmeyer had 19 points was a plus +9 in his last 119 games with the Rangers

Playing on worse teams...

 

[Captain Lindy]

Hopefully he's gotten smart and is now going to get McIlrath into the lineup and let Girardi actually get healthy.

The more rest Girardi gets right now I think the better he'll be. Who knows, maybe he can revive his career?

 

[OrbitalDynamics]

AV proclaims Girardi fit to play vs Islanders...

 

[RempireStateBuilding]

“@AGrossRecord: However, AV says he didn't expect Girardi to handle the puck today at practice as well as he did so G/McIlrath a game-day decisionâ€

lmao!
