We played well.

I hate Columbus.

I understand that this game was a combination of being unlucky coupled with being inside of our heads and just not burying our chances. But as a die hard drunk sports fan I f*** f*** f***ING f*** f***ING MOTHERf***ER

I guarantee you 20 games in if we have a record we don't like and play a bunch of games like this, all of the people that care about territorial play will stop caring and will just say the team sucks. That happened early last year.

Why does every team have at least 2 Vezina caliber goalies?!

 

[LOFIN]

Shit result, but the game wasn't that bad.

Forward lines are ok, but something needs to be done to ensure we don't EVER get Schneider-Jones again. Either Lavy mixes up the pairs, or Drury does something. But that pairing cannot exist.

 

[CasusBelli]

Played well.
Third pairing killed us.
Need to be stronger mentally.
Gus is a double-edged sword.
Need help on LD.

Not me.

Pathetic effort tonight when they can't play 60 minutes

I will not under pain of becoming a moderator in this place.

It. Never. Fails.

 

[Shesterkybomb]

Played well, need to shoot more

Miss Mikkola for this. The guy was useless offensively but seemed pretty robust in his own zone. Great size as well.

We still have trouble finishing

Because every professional goalie is good at being a goalie and that's why it doesn't matter and you shouldn't spend money on it.

Trocheck getting nearly 20 minutes of ice time and we wonder why we aren't scoring goals tonight?

There's zero excuse for this guy getting more ice time than Zibanejad, Kreider, Lafreniere, Chytil, and Kakko. Our 3rd line center is getting more ice time than 5 of our top 6. Insane. Absolutely insane over-usage.

Trocheck had a great game. You’re clearly biased in favor of the kids. I’m sorry Trocheck showed far more than Lafreniere, Kakko, and Chytil tonight.

Salary cap sucks

You gotta shoot to finish

 

[DanielBrassard]

More than anything, the most positive aspect of the first two games is that Panarin looks really good. He deserved to have 3 or 4 assists tonight. But overall it was a fine performance, one where they deserved a much better result than what they got.

 

[KevinFinnerty]

what a crazy Shallacking. took them behind the Barn Matt Hughes style. alot of good things about that game, with 2 goals taken away from us and some flukes. looking good Rangers!

 

[Kupo]

Pathetic effort tonight when they can't play 60 minutes

We completely outplayed them tonight. Shit games like this happen to literally, every team, and every season.

This is a Win 9/10 games with the way they played.

Pathetic effort tonight when they can't play 60 minutes

Le sigh…..

 

[GENESISPuck94]

It's not that the team played poorly or were out worked. Again, it's horrible allocation of ice time. Coaches get so enamored with hard work (fair) that they gloss over complete lack of skill.

 

[Machinehead]

You gotta shoot to finish

We attempted like 80 shots

 

[will1066]

Yeah. Still too much lateral plays. But in general they are letting it rip versus last year
