Post-Game Talk: New Jersey Devils at New York Rangers - 10/14/17

[Megustaelhockey]

In July, I thought to myself, "Boy, I'm really excited for hockey to come back!"

In September, I thought to myself, "Boy, hockey is almost here!"

On October 14, I'm thinking to myself, "Is hockey over yet?"

Trusting miller to take the face off at the end but not to play center is peak AV

 

[Kakko]

Retiring "Fire AV.

Y'all are making it mainstream, as it should be

 

[Paulie Walnutz]

Let’s whack AV and be done with it.​

 

[Machinehead]

1 regulation win out of 12 counting preseason.

How long does Gorton watch this?

 

[justanomade]

AV: I saw some real good things the last 58 seconds. We can build on that

 

[Kaapo Cabana]

Dead man walking

 

[Gospel of Prospal]

Fire AV before the season is lost

 

[NYR]

AV playing to lose..

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

AV has lost it.

This team is not doing well, either, but the coach makes it a lot worse.

 

[Holocene]

Let's keep AV so we can tank this year. Don't want them to risk playing well under a new coach only to lose in the first round! Let's get some top end elite talent on this roster.

 

[LeetchisGod]

How long before more people are on the Fire AV bandwagon? The seats are nice and comfy.

 

[Machinehead]

Trusting miller to take the face off at the end but not to play center is peak AV

That's the most AV thing that's happened since the last time we scored in a game we were dominating and started getting our ass kicked after we scored.

Oh wait, that was tonight.

 

[Riche16]

This... is... in fact... a bad team

Yeah, it blows - hopefully they get some good assets from Zucc.

 

[ICanMotteBelieveIt]

I don't know what's wrong, there's no leadership, no fighting spirit in this team.


Hopefully because they're tired of AV and they make sure that Gorton knows it.

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

Let's keep AV so we can tank this year.

Its not half bad, but then you realize that we gotta trust AV with his decisions. Desharnais will be our 1C and Kampfer on the top pair if you let him make too many decisions of his own.

 

[I Eat Crow]

AV's days here are numbered. Said it a few days ago, but I think he's gone if the Rangers have a poor October homestand. Let Lindy complete the year as the interim, then search for a good coach that might become available in the offseason that provides a balance of coaching a modern system and can properly motivate their players to get ready to play.

Nash should go at the deadline. Guy is cooked. Grabner will be too expensive to extend in the summer, trade him too.

I just hope Gorton doesn't make a panic trade for Duchene in a futile attempt to save the season (and AV's job)

 

[NCRanger]

Is it an AV problem, or a talent problem?

 

[Machinehead]

AV: I saw some real good things the last 58 seconds. We can build on that

'We had some good looks."

"You guys had four shots over the course of 25 minutes."

"Ya but they were good ones" *snickers*

 

[will1066]

Guys, hold on. "I thought we got some good looks."

 

[nevesis]

f***ing trash. No other words.

 

[Oscar Lindberg]

Interested to see what Brooks writes tomorrow

Him turning on AV has been quite the development

 

[Irishguy42]

1 regulation win out of 12 counting preseason.

How long does Gorton watch this?

Until there is a long-ish enough break for the team in which he can fire AV and give the team a practice or two under the interim coach.

He isn't going to "Gallant" AV. Gorton/NYR will probably be decent about it.

 

[Megustaelhockey]

1-5 for the first time since 1980 to start the season.
