Post-Game Talk: #25- 03/11/21 | RANGERS @ boston | 7:00 - ESPN+ MSG2

[Machinehead]

I'm not much of a change coaches kind of guy but i do think this coach had done all he can and it might be time for a new vision. Keep martin, hire Gallant, dump Oliver.

And then rehire Oliver and dump him again. Just because.

 

[egelband]

Ooooof.

Question: How do you know that your team is broken?
Answer: When Jack Johnson makes the team.
This team is broken.

Reading this PGT makes me happy I missed this game and got drunk with an old friend.

Trouba’s comments tonight is exactly why nobody and I mean nobody should wear a letter on this team let alone the C. It didn’t fall of a cliff? That’s what it has come down to, Jacob? All losers. They really need to bring in a legitimate leader of MEN this off-season.

I hate that gee aww shucks we’ll get em next time attitude throughout the whole locker room. Great teams hate to lose, it ruins the rest of the night and more. I really don’t like the culture that’s spreading like a cancer right now. The fish rots from the head

 

[jay from jersey]

Quinn loves saying first period goals against are back breakers.

Yet the team never comes out of the gate with any fire. Ever. It’s pathetic. I think we are more upset on HF then The coaches and players going thru the motions out there

 

[JHS]

The comments after the game reveal all we need. Anyone saying words to the effect of we did not let it get ugly and we hung in there are honestly lost. What an awful culture to develop talent in.

The effort on the ice says everything. It’s was terrible last night. Moral victories are the only victories this team will experience if that’s what they are content with.

 

[LionsHeart]

I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again. There’s a whole lotta quit in this team.

This is reminding me of the end of Tom Renneys tenure.

 

[Raspewtin]

Take a guess which this line is for Montreal right now...

View attachment 406479

...it’s their 3rd line.

That is talent.

the implication that Montreal has more "talent" at F than we do is honestly one of your worst takes ever

 

[MysticLeviathan]

i have a feeling if we deliver a similar performance on Saturday that Quinn is done. But who knows with management. I do know that things are starting to get really ugly, both on and off the ice. These postgame comments are a huge concern. This team has zero backbone and it’s frustrating to watch.

 

[leetch99]

Yawn....it's a nice sunny day here and I really don't want to spend three hours sifting through 56 pages .....I have one question though....is Quinn still here ? This has become a real downer . Beauty of it is though is sooner or later some changes get made and Davidson fires both Quinn and Gorton and hires his people . Maybe we get some sort of identity then ? We look like a club in complete chaos .

 

[Kovalev27]

The coach is a problem, but the real problem is the lack of real talent. Besides Fox and maybe Trouba, the defensive talent is horrendous and besides Panarin, there is no real threat in this forward crew. Talent is just not there!

you have like 10 first round talents in your top 12 forwards. Oh and 1 of the 2 or 3 that isn’t is Panarin the other is Buchnevich.

talent is the least of our problems. That’s literally on the coach.

I am so upset and disappointed right now, dont even know what to say. I mean, what in good God's name was that?

Okay, I know what to say. THAT was the most pathetic performance I think I have ever seen and I will add .......that they kicked the wrong guy off the team.

Cant blame everything on the goaltender, but he hasnt even resembled a goalie that gives his team a chance to win.
Early goal, early deficits mean chasing the game. Bombs from the blue line and growing tired of Micheletti's lame excuses of ........"maybe he was screened"? Make a damn save!

Pathetic PP, disjointed rushes, next to no hitting, little successful forechecking, no 1 on 1 battles won, no emotion, no feistiness,
No goals, Nothing.

Never want my team to lose, but if they get crushed next game..............it's time. Quinn buh bye. Too much wasted time already.

90% of our roster’s talent is Panarin and Fox.

The Habs don’t have an elite player like Panarin, but compare their 4 F lines and 3 D pairs to ours. The Rangers have a good top-six, an awful bottom-6, one good pairing and two awful pairings.

Half our roster is bad. I don’t understand how people can think it’s talented, (aside from it being harder to swallow than everything being Quinn’s fault.)

Do you honestly not remember what our 2013-15 rosters looked like? Pouliot-Brassard-Zuccarello; Hagelin-Hayes-Miller; those used to be our 3rd lines FFS.

Like do you honestly not remember what our 2013-14 roster looked like?

I beg to differ. We have more talent than ever before. What we dont have is direction, and the WILL to win. Oh yeah, and a Captain that represents the entire team, and pushes his team.

We knew this was going to take time, but this isnt looking like its headed in the right direction. #nothappy

 

[aufheben]

It seriously blows my mind that people think this roster is good. I don’t even know what to say.

Jesus, we have, what, 7 forwards who have less than 15 career goals?

It’s just offense either. What two-way forwards do we have? What defensive forwards do we have? What defensive SKATERS do we have?

 

[Blueshirt Special]

Can we leave Quinn in Boston?

Also for the love of God, please put Bergeron on his ass.

I'd rather put Bergeron on our team...

So consensus top 2 picks magically suck now. Ok. This team has the makings of a good top 9, not cup contending but good. All but Strome and Buch are failing to meet expectations this season. Do they all magically suck?

 

[DialUp]

So consensus top 2 picks magically suck now. Ok

Players suck until they stop sucking. Team hasn't stopped sucking in over a year. And, unfortunately, yeah like magic those top two picks trajectory since going into the NHL has been a trajectory in the wrong direction. Can that be turned around? Stay tuned for next time on FIRE THE HELL OUT OF QUINN NOW PLEASE, THX

 

[RangersFan1994]

I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again. There’s a whole lotta quit in this team.

This is reminding me of the end of Tom Renneys tenure.

difference is Renney got this team to the playoffs consistently and Jagr helped. Rangers don't have that depth and talent outside of Panarin.

Seems like this

 

[egelband]

I’m losing patience with the coach but I still give him the year. And I’d bet the Rangers are giving him next year too.

 

[FireGerardGallant]

So a player like Alexis Lafreniere, considered prob the best prospect in about 3 years , isn't talented enough.
A player like Kaapo Kakko, who like 20 months ago was considered just a step below a guy who has 3 times the points as him isn't talented enough.
A player like Mika Zibanejad, who scored 41 f***ing goals last year isnt talented enough

All these guys for basically the past few weeks outside of like 3 games have struggled in scoring and look completely checked out. How braindead do you have to be to believe that talent is the issue and not the usage of that talent. This is coming from someone Im pretty sure owns a David Quinn body pillow so its not surprising

 

[DialUp]

I think the coach has got to go; we won't know how the K'Lafrenko's can truly do until he's gone. But if he continues to play like a 3rd line floating bath plug even post that, then yeah maybe he wasn't actually talented enough. I hope this isn't the case. He has flashes of good vision, and the rest of the time his stick is off the ice.

 

[MysticLeviathan]

Talent and results are two entirely different things. Talent is being naturally gifted. We have lots of talent on thus team. They aren’t producing, but that doesn’t mean they’re not talented. We have a coach, system, and culture that does the exact opposite of turning talent into results. Some teams squeeze the absolute most ability out of their players. We are not at all one of those teams. That doesn’t mean we aren’t extraordinarily talented.

tl;dr Mika is playing like dogshit. He’s still one of the most talented players on our team.
