Post-Game Talk: #1 - 10/04/18 | predators @ RANGERS | 7:30 - MSG, NBCSN

[Hi ImHFNYR]

Thank you for the separate Post Game Thread.

I cannot tell you how much I loathe when the Gameday Thread just carries over to the Post Game and we don't get a separate thread

I dont loathe it but it's like sand. "Rough, coarse and irritating..." How is it course? f*** if I know. I'm just using star wars prequel memes as a non sequitur to indicate that "it makes me uncomfortable"

There are no moral victories. This was a classic Rangers’ loss. When will we shed the same old same old?

This is my 41st year as a fan. This game felt too familiar. Can’t finish. Tease at the end. Inventing new ways to screw up, like 7 men on the ice. Oh and Shattenkirk is awful.

You down for the tank?

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

The Hayes line was out there at the end as they should have been since they were the only line hat had sustained zone time all game.

 

[Waivers]

For your typical ‘first game of the season’ against an upper echelon team, we actually did pretty well. I liked the resiliency towards the end but there were a lot of bonehead plays, and they paid for it.

I will also add that if we had more PP time for some of the missed calls, we could be moving into OT, or the Rangers walk away with a win.

I hate when plays are blown by the refs and the players are furious, and on the very next play since the Rangers aren’t focused from the missed call, they get scored on.

Looking forward to the individual player development and the call ups from Hartford throughout the season.

 

[Machinehead]

KZB was just ok. They can be a lot better.

 

[Glen Sathers Cigar]

Shattenkirk wasn't bad but that screen on the 2nd goal was brutal. Can't have veteran players doing that. That's inexcusable.

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

We played a solid game imo. Good signs moving forward IMO. Definite improvements defensively, but the lack of talent is too much to overcome.

I think we will out play our expected points. I liked what I saw and we looked much better coached in this game than what we saw under AV, but I completely agree. That defense just doesn't employ very much talent, and the offensive talent is average, at best. Probably not average.

 

[Doctyl]

I HATE losing on empty net goals

 

[Alluckks]

Not crying, but maybe he was upset that he wasn't on the ice at the end of the game. Why is that? Bad coaching.

Jesus lol you are ridiculous when you post garbage like this

 

[Machinehead]

I like Fast, Chytil, and Spooner, but not together.

Again, it's the fault of the coach. Excuses are us.

I think its clearly below average.

Granted Nashville is pretty f***ing good.

 

[Glen Sathers Cigar]

Something I'm not sure on: since the GWG was scored on an empty net, does Hank get the loss?

 

[EpicDing]

Not crying, but maybe he was upset that he wasn't on the ice at the end of the game. Why is that? Bad coaching.

Or maybe he wasn't on because he was on the shift before? You know, where he scored the goal?

 

[Gresch04]

You down for the tank?

Ultimately yes. Just hate losing so I probably can’t watch.

 

[Tob]

every night after a loss for the tank

 

[Lion Hound]

Hank was great tonight. Hope he stays mentally healthy with a team on the rebuild.

KZB was flat... All night until the point where it didn't matter. None of them clicked and they looked a hell of a lot slower as a unit then we fans know they are. Expecting a lot more then this trio this season. It's their time to lead.

Chytil's line didn't look out of place. He got more comfortable as the game went on. Good to see him gain a helper on game 1.

Hayes line was pretty solid. Created offense but couldn't convert. So many chances for Vesey. One was a good bounce, but good to see none the less.

If that is the Howden were going to see this season that's a significant upgrade from Boo. And I like Boo, but I think this kid is a player.

Defense I didn't think terrible. I actually expected to see worse, but they handled their own against a legit club tonight.

Entertaining first game of the season.

It’s gonna be a bland season with a lot of call ups. Looking forward to the individual player development.

Think of this as the point of everything.

He has to, he's the only goalie who played.

 

[Hi ImHFNYR]

Sure. When you're actually playing. When you're just an armchair analyst like we are then you can take solace in losses on occasion

 

[Alluckks]

Blinders and agenda...

 

[FJB]

Too many wide shots.

Kreids not visible again

Well it’s either 44 years or infinity for you?
