Post-Game Talk: ECSF GAME 6 - HIBERNATION BEGINS - Florida wins series 4-2

[trenton1]

Barkov Ryder’d us

Much harder shot, though, his hand looks f***ed. The Rangers rejoice.

 

[DarrenBanks56]

all and all. good season.
never thought theyd win game 5.
figured theyd lose tonight.
they just suck at home. its baffling

 

[PatriceBergeronFan]

Again pick on the depth low end players, What did you expect from him?

I expected Maroon to be borderline worthless but he managed to miss even that expectation.

Depth low end players impact games as well. Remember Thornton-Campbell-Paille winning games against NYR a decade ago? 2011 vs Vancouver?

The version of 4th lines Montgomery was limited to due to Maroon was the opposite of impactful and often a negative, rarely neutral, and extremely rarely positive.

Maroon is by far the slowest and worst player in the NHL at this point, yet he played every game.

Get him some help, he's a fing stud that is playing too much and takes a beating every shift , but equally dishes it out.

People give Pasta a pass, lets do the same with Charlie, PP PK on the ice 1/3 of the game.

Not a team in the league he wouldn't be in the top pair

This x10000

 

[Clode]

I know 2015 draft dead horse has been beaten to dust at this point but drafting Senyshyn over Barzal is really biting them in the ass these days

 

[sarge88]

It's a valid question because wtf happened to regular season Pasta?

If that guy showed up? We win.

So if he's hurt. It would explain him having zero awareness. Bambi on his skates. Falling all over the ice. Passes to nowhere.

It's baffling. He's our best player. And he didn't show up except that game vs Toronto. That's it. We need more from him. And I think he knows that.

Teams just simply don’t play with the defensive intensity in the RS that they do in the playoffs. Its unsustainable.

Thats why guys like Heinen, Frederic or Geekie can fool people into believing they are 2nd liners for stretches of time.

Then the playoffs hit and everyone finishes their hits, backchecks hard, and plays more conservative and their lack of talent/guts gets exposed.

 

[SPV]

He was a liability with the puck on his stick in the offensive zone. He couldn’t win a puck battle all night. Face it, next year isn’t going to be any better.

He had 67 points in the regular season, and 10 points in 11 games in the playoffs. He’s still pretty good

 

[wintersej]

Doubtful it'll happen but it's really time for a change right from the top. Time for Neely/Sweeny combo to go, get some fresh faces and some fresh thinking. Just not working for a long time now and this last off season and trade deadline were a gigantic failure.... Get Swayman signed, trade Ullmark, we have a ton of dead weight to shed, go find a true #1 and #2 center to start and retool with the core and the youth. Stop bringing in washed up guys like JVR, Maroon, Shattenkirk etc and give the youth a real solid shot and chance to succeed.

I mean Poitras, Lorhei, Beecher all were able to take jobs from vets. Wotherspoon and Brazeau, too. Merkulov and Lysell will get their chance next year. Not sure what you are going on about.

 

[Sevendust]

Manifesting Draisatl or Crosby

McDavid ufa in 2026?

 

[Braunbaer]

We should of won in 2013.

Those goals at the end are and were inexcusable

I don't mind losing to that Chicago team. They were hands down the best team that year.
Of course it sucked the way they lost game 6.
But that missed open net in 3OT in game 1 haunts me more.

 

[4ORRBRUIN]

Start watching the US Team and Werenski. Guy knows how to run a PP.

Charlie has never been a top offensive guy but Werenski blows trying to play d,

 

[Absurdity]

 

[CDJ]

Oh wow he wasn’t a monster in a game he probably played in concussed? Shockerrrrrrrr


He is so far from cooked, he’s a huge reason they beat Toronto. Now he’s not an elite player anymore, but that’s very different than being cooked

 

[Alicat]

Might be there but I can name lots of players that could be there with way more younger legs and same skill set at this pt in his career.Talking 2 years here

Who the hell knows. I just want him to get the chance Bettman and then Covid took from him.

 

[KillerMillerTime]

He is a RD man, he ain't playing ahead of Fox.

 

[The don godfather]

all and all. good season.

They start defending and get hemmed in that's why. It's been going on since last year.

 

[KrugAvoy]

Considering we lost Bergeron, Krejci, Hall, Orlov, and Bertuzzi and replaced them all with lesser tier players, our "league worst" prospect pool had Lohrei, Beecher, Poitras, and Brazeau show they are NHL level talent, Swayman showing he is capable of being a top 5 goalie in the league, and us making Toronto collapse and choke again in an epic game 7, and not rolling over and dying down 3-1 to Florida who was a mjch better team I consider this season an A-. Sad ending but not disappointed in this team overall

 

[22Brad Park]

Marchy stunk. Pasta stunk. Let's get real here.

What was excuse last season? Hey Butch did more and got fired.Anyhow I don't care what they do with him but don't complain if you see him doing same thing next playoffs.

 

[Mione134]

And he STILL showed up every single game of the playoffs.

That's a warrior. He deserves to be re-sign.

 

[SPV]

I know 2015 draft dead horse has been beaten to dust at this point but drafting Senyshyn over Barzal is really biting them in the ass these days

Eh, he outsmarted himself in the first round, should have played it safe. He hit on Carlo and Lauzon in round two, and then killed the first and second round in 2016.

 

[UConn126]

trade McAvoy while you can before his NMC kicks in
honestly, that guy is a joke even remotely to be mentioned in a Norris trophy conversation
all he can do is make a stupid pass

also, fire Sweeney and Montgomery

This feels like the same kind of take as "Brady's cooked" backed in 2013 lol.

 

[Mione134]

Eh, he outsmarted himself in the first round, should have played it safe. He hit on Carlo and Lauzon in round two, and then killed the first and second round in 2016.

Sigh

If Lauzon played in this series

A dream!

 

[LouJersey]

Poitras is the only one of those three I see making the team. I think Merkulov and Lysell could get packaged this off-season to upgrade the forwards.

you gotta give Merk a chance to center a line IMO. Lysell and Poitras can fight it out for a RW spot. Nothing left in the A for Merk to do, so give him a big shot.

 

[Bad Bruin]

He had 67 points in the regular season, and 10 points in 11 games in the playoffs. He’s still pretty good

I’m moving on. You really need to rebuild this core and Marchy has taken a beating all these years. It’s called asset management, some team with a hole in their lineup would give you couple of good pieces.
I’m looking to rebuild this team isn’t a piece or two away from winning next year

 

[TD Charlie]

That was wildly disappointing. Sometimes the better team wins.

f***in hell maybe win a home game though. Shit
