Pre-Game Talk: How bad do we get smoked by the Pens? Hockey game to be played on 10/17 (lol)

[will1066]

this is the type of game the rangers win and we are all like wow, this team isnt that bad

this is still a good team regardless of how the season has gone so far....i dont think many of you would have predicted a start this poor

If we beat the defending champs, then we are a good team. Logic and technicality dictate this remark.

i dont disagree....i think we are a good team

I'm expecting ugliness.

Guys, Vesey and Hayes both grew up in Boston! That means they have chemistry.

They definitely do, you can see them feeding off of each other's stupidity on the ice until it's one giant f*** story between the two of them.

 

[nevesis]

Garbage.

 

[Ail]

Garbage.

Welp, it didn't take long for DD to get the same treatment he had in Montreal. Now it's time for our fanbase to hate his guts because the coach is a ding dong of supreme levels.

 

[Machinehead]

Factually incorrect.

The 1st line has been together for nearly every shift and has 1 even strength goal.

They're also one of the best lines in the league at generating chances.

I expect a professional coach to have a grasp on when certain guys have just been unlucky, but I guess f***ing not.

 

[ZacUSNYR]

Yes. Let's hope we get blown off the ice by the Penguins so we can further push an agenda of we need to fire the best coach this team has had in a very long time.

"We must change for the sake of change because we want change!"

Are you Vigneault's son?

 

[NYR Lurker]

In my book it’s already a win, since we don’t have to watch the game on an NBC broadcast with their Penguins love fest.

 

[eco's bones]

Garbage.

FWIW I suggested a McDonagh/DeAngelo pairing a few days ago as an experiment. I guess we might find out. Personally I want McDonagh back on the left side and IMO DeAngelo could use a mentor.

The lines do kind of look like shit though. Hayes has to play well (and he hasn't really) for this team to go anywhere. Desharnais is not doing a lot for me. The center position has been a problem.

the rangers are 1-5, AV cant change the lines all he wants....the team has under performed

 

[NYRFANMANI]

Can't wait to get home for this one

 

[Machinehead]

The team is 1-5 due in part to constant line shuffling.

 

[5 4 Fighting]

Holden scratched. no Pamper Kampfer...lets see what we got tonight LGR

oo come on, you and i both know thats crap

most of these players have been playing together for years and even the ones that havent should be able to score goals regardless who they are playing with

i believe they have like (6) 5 v 5 goals this season and that has nothing to do with line tinkering

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

lmao these lines. I guess if you keep flinging shit at the wall something is bound to stick?

 

[Bob Richards]

David Desharnais centering the second line.

Of all the times to be alive, this ranks somewhere between WWI and The Black Plague.

DeAngelo (RD) and McD (LD) played the Devils game together, ICYMI.

The one-sided slaughter will be on the scale of Klendathu.

Funny you say that considering that his predecessor and his predecessors' assistant are both better coaches than AV is.

We've needed a change at that position for over a year.

 

[Irishguy42]

Penguins aren't blowing anyone out. Not with the way they've been playing early on.

Right, it has nothing to do with line tinkering because continuity is not important.

And your defense pairings have nothing to do with offense, right? How many different pairings have we had?
