Post-Game Talk: CBJ (Pithy title incoming)

[17futurecap]

The team has 3 games over the next 12 days, so the rest is coming if that’s an issue.

If anything, it’s the fans criticizing Mika and Trouba that actually understand the big picture.

Their inconsistent play is exactly what we’ve seen for years. They have flashes of brilliance and god awful, and it’s difficult to know night-to-night what type of effort you’ll get. Those types of players can’t be relied upon to play consistent enough hockey when it matters most in the playoffs to win a Stanley Cup. I don’t care if the rest of the team around them is good enough to win the Presidents Trophy. If they’re your 1C and Captain, respectively, you’re not winning a Cup.

It's more than that. It's a total and complete breakdown by some when they lose a game. This team has managed a league leading win % despite Trouba and Mika having bad years yet when they lose a game in a month the shit hits the fan. It's comical.

...How she can manhandle Zibs.

Next game is on Wednesday so Rangers get some rest, but then they are back it the next night!

Who's the jackass that came-up with the schedule?!

 

[PuckLuck3043]

So what you are saying is that Carolina lost better than NYR did? They'll be in 1st place by Thursday!

Maybe earlier.

 

[LionsHeart]

You can’t win them all, so I’m not going to get too crazy about this loss. They can get a few days off and get back at it Wednesday.

I’ll echo the sentiments about Mika. He’s been so bad this year. I’m also sick of the Right Wing excuse. At what point he and Kreider the problem? Everything he does has become very predictable too, from the shot at the Left Circle to passing on the rush.

 

[hi]

Every team has a worst player on their team. It really helps when that player isn't your captain, one of six defensemen, and taking up $8,000,000 in cap space.

 

[huerter]

I don't care how many games they won in a row. A performance like that against a team like that is never acceptable. We're incredibly unlikely to win the cup this year but this team could have at least given us a record and a memory of winning 11 in a row. They chose to not show up. Sorry, I'm pissed.

I have no memory of us winning 10 in 15-16 and if we had won 11 in 15-16 I think that remains true. Stay cised.

They are a problem when they aren't +20 and +16 on the season.

Your lectures about posters posting what they want is more of a shtick than ed and his kravtsov obsession at this point.

I call it like I see it. Insanity reigned tonight.

 

[DialUp]

Could you imagine Columbus wins the season series? Could you?

It was 9 straight. We got swept in 2006 but everyone remembers Jagr's record breaking season.

 

[Brutananadilewski]

It was 9 straight. We got swept in 2006 but everyone remembers Jagr's record breaking season.

Both Jagr and Lundqvist were injured.

And everyone knew we were legitimately a one line team: Jagr, Nylander, Straka.

Doesn't take away from my point. Jagr gave us a memory despite the sweep

 

[pld459666]

Poor play finally caught up.

To get outplayed by Columbus? This should have been 11

 

[SnowblindNYR]

I still remember 5 straight games of 5+ goals in 16-17. If anyone thinks we'd just forget a record winning streak.

 

[Brutananadilewski]

Well, the bar was extremely low previously to that season after the constant coaching changes, Sather outspending every other team for broken players, missing the playoffs.

Jagr could have taken a dump in the middle of the ice and most would have agreed that 05-06 was glorious, especially with the rise of the King.

Stop using the old meta.

 

[huerter]

Stop using the old meta.

outscoring the opposition fux in every meta

 

[Captain Lindy]

That team isn’t winning a Cup either

They're (Carolina) the perennial favorites EVERY.DAMN.YEAR!

 

[CasusBelli]

In our three games with Columbus this year we've had all kinds of issues with them. Even the game we won was a shootout and the Rangers tied it with 11 seconds left in the game on a Lafreniere goal. For whatever reason the Blue Jackets seem to have our number this year.

Rempe a two game point streak. He definitely didn't win the fight though. Olivier was a bit marked up though too. No one wins them all and fights in two nights is a lot.....or at least it is these days.

Their speed is a serious issue. The same was true with Philly yesterday (Igor saved our bacon). I also wonder if we take CBJ seriously, given their position in the standings; we also struggled against Anaheim and SJ, if memory serves me right.

Boycotted the third and didn’t miss a thing.

Two telling stats:
1) Trouba mailed it in - only player on for all 4 goals against I believe
2) P**sy-ass team credited with a whopping 5 hits. That has to be an all-time record low.

At least 2 of our defencemen had hits, which is 2 more than CBJ had... (weird game for hits)

Trouba, Zibs, and Miller looked atrocious. I'm going to start calling him Zits if he keeps up his pus-filled pustule playing.

#1 center not even a PPG and I know points schmoints.
