Post-Game Talk: bruins @ Rangers

[RGY]

Why was McKegg on the ice down a goal less than 3 minutes left in the game?

Why did this team not shoot the puck all night on the PP? Are they coaching themselves? Huge game in the midst of a winning streak and the coaching staff layer an egg

People at the end of the thread blaming George. Game could have been way out of control if it weren't for him.

Crazy people will going to blame him for a breakaway goal and a fluke off of Trouba. I hate this fanbase sometimes. I feel sorry for Igor because he's got so much pressure to perform on his shoulders where the defense in front of him his ABSOLUTELY GARBAGE. So much in fact that we've got to put Mika on the damn blue line for offense on the PP.

Close loss to a top team. No need to go overboard with the negative. This is still a building team missing parts

 

[EdJovanovski]

Fox can't do it all by himself but nice to see him trying to elevate in these games. Fil is trending very well. Kaapo is trending well. Lindgren will be great to fill in the D on a cheap contract for a few years while we wait out Staal and Girardi's $1.11M yearly buyout cap hit. Can't complain.

Thought Fox was brutal today.

This coach loves Strome. So glad we only lost a useless player in Spooner

 

[Machinehead]

Meh not overall but there was a ton of just poor execution for the first 45 minutes. Like poor skill plays. They were playing decently defensively and generating chances but a flubbed pass here and shanked shot there was holding them back.

Against demonstratively the best team in the NHL, I'll take a "pass here, shot there" game.

Better team won. We had a few moments but not enough

Boston knew the key to our offense was our lateral passing, and they had none of it. Bet Tony would've read that play better than Trouba on the left boards on the PP and started the pinch earlier to keep the puck alive instead of getting trapped for a SHG breakaway

 

[Ghost of jas]

Boston plays like its 2004.

Exactly. They're disciplined, and skirt the line when it comes to interfering. Try to get fancy, and you just end up losing the puck. When the Rangers bigger players started asserting themselves, they had Boston on their heels. These are lessons that need to be learned.

 

[bl02]

Trade Strome ASAP. Guy cant score. Hands of stone. He has been crap for at least a month now. Why he was on the ice at the end there is mind boggling. Might as well put Kakko out there and try the faceoff with someone else

Bingo!!! And before I hear "Well Kakko has to earn it during the game to be out there in the final 30 seconds" Strome should not be out there in that situation. I would rather take my chances with Zibby taking the faceoff.

Thought Fox was brutal today.

He was trying to do too much against a Bruins team that had bodies and sticks in the right place. It's a good learning game.

 

[RiffyNYR61]

You guys, Ryan Strome sucks so badly lol. I can’t stress this enough.

 

[Chaels Arms]

The power play looks lost without Tony D

 

[bl02]

The Kakko play to PDG was awesome and a nice shot by PDG. Halak was just better unfortunately

It’s like they think every player on the other team has the puck.

 

[bl02]

If this team ever hands more than 3.5/4 million per to Strome it will a dumb ass move

Why was McKegg on the ice down a goal less than 3 minutes left in the game?

I think he's just good at sneaking on the ice between whistles and it's too late for Quinn to realize and call him back

 

[RGY]

Poorly coached game. Cant be stressed enough. They were sloppy from the start and when the PPs came the coaching staff allowed free reign. Especially after the first one...they clearly didnt have it to be trying the extra passes that they like and they clearly just needed to shoot the puck. Its despicable that the COACHING staff did not intervene and get them to shoot the puck.

 

[Kakko Schmakko]

Why did this team not shoot the puck all night on the PP? Are they coaching themselves? Huge game in the midst of a winning streak and the coaching staff layer an egg

Our offense sucked all game, very perimeter, lots of dump and chase.

 

[Machinehead]

I love it when Strome is particularly terrible because it distracts from people screeching about Fast.

 

[darko]

Ryan Strome is the most regular season player out there

Big call considering Strome has 15 NHL playoff games on his resume.

 

[Whoot Whoot]

no need to freak out - much better team beats a worse team

 

[aufheben]

Kakko 83.33 CF%. Chytil and Di Giuseppe each with 3 shot attempts.

 

[will1066]

A lot of unforced errors for sure. I do think that it was a byproduct of their timing and rhythm being thrown off by the Bruins

 

[RGY]

Well aware. So where is the coaching staff in all this? Where is the demand from them to get pucks to the net on the PP.

Complete failure from DQ and his staff.

Kreider didn’t need to shower after the game...
