Post-Game Talk: Final Game -- Rangers @ Bruins

[ETTER DE]

I feel the same exact way. They’re absolutely going in the right direction. I see posts about trading a guy like Zibanejad, as if players like that are easy to find.

If they can get Eichel he might be traded.

I was born way before 1985 -- I had no idea who he was either.

Wow - I was too and this somehow seems impossible to me if you ever managed to be near a tv for any amount of time. Bob Vila was everywhere - and I'm originally from an island in Canada. lol

I sure hope the players liking playing for Quinn has no bearing on the decision of whether to fire him or not. Winning and likability have poor correlation. Being a good coach, I guess being likable is good, but if you're a good coach it doesn't matter.

Ya, a la Kreuger. I feel like this is an important spotlight on Drury. Can he put a well documented friendship aside and make a swift decision that needs to be made? I think it would look better if he's decisive, for appearances and perception anyway.

The thing is listening to Drury he seems like he never felt an emotion in his life. So hopefully he handles the head coaching position this way.

Did you ever watch Home Improvement in the 1990s (Tim Allen sitcom)? That whole show was basically a satiric take on Bob Vila (he even appeared on the show a couple of times).

Mr Pot...

If Quinn is back next year, I have a feeling we're all going to need plenty of Mr. Pot just to get through 82 games.

 

[nyrage]

I remember feeling so excited about this season, but felt comatose for half of it...like many of our starts.

Hopefully Quinn in gone. We came out too flat in too many of our games. The games with Knoblauch were night and day.

That said, I'm glad they battled and won today. Boston's coach this week basically thought he would get a couple of easy wins. He was half right. Screw them.

Looking forward to many more goals from Laf and hopefully Kratsov, too.

Lots and lots of knee jerk reactions. I saw posts about trading Miller after his rookie season. Then the same fans shit on Dolan for not being patient enough. Our fans aren't patient enough.

I know this looks like a first post, but I am a long time lerker ?? But a Rangers fan for 60 years. I don’t know how you mean our fans are not patient, weather we need to be more patient or was that sarcastic. No criticism intended. Just a statement, 1cup in 81 years is that patient enough? I believe we will be good for years now just get the right people in place. I hope my patience pays off

I’m sorry for your loss

I mean, they're patient in as much as they didn't leave the team but when you see people after one season of a 20/21 year old D-man already talking about trading him then what do you call that? At least with Chytil who people also want traded this is his third season. Still lots of impatience with the young players.

Home Improvement is basically based off of this.



drunken edit: I didn’t see the above poster mentioning home improvement

 

[mandiblesofdoom]

WTF is a YOMAN effort? Am I hearing that correctly? Both John and Sam said it.

Yo, man, it's yeoman.

which could be

" an attendant or officer in a royal or noble household"

or

"a person who owns and cultivates a small farm , specifically : one belonging to a class of English freeholders below the gentry "

per merriam-webster

And every time the impatient folks decide that a prospect needs to be shipped out, the reasoning ALWAYS turns to the same unquantifiable categories: hockey IQ, vision, and other areas where young players are generally inconsistent.

 

[mandiblesofdoom]

We're so lucky to have Valiquette and not Bryce Salvador.

Salvador is wretched.

But Daneyko is better than Micheletti imo.

Micheletti is terrible, biggest market in the NHL and we deserve better.

Everything I've heard about the relationship between Drury and Quinn makes it sound like they're real pals and see hockey in a similar way. According to Servalli, i want to say, Drury had offered Quinn the coaching job for the US Men's championship and while not announced, this was the direction it was going. There's a lot of concern the more I think about it. I can see a lot of excuse making and rationalizing our way out of firing Quinn. Covid, Zibanejad wasn't on his game, weird year, young team, tough division. We'll never know how much of an influence Dolan has on the coaching position but he sat in on the AV interview and is rumored to have wanted a change this season. I can't imagine Drury keeping Quinn after Dolan made a huge fuss about the way we were playing. It's be professional suicide if Quinn sucks next year.

The weird thing is they WANT him to be like this. Joe is better on national broadcasts.

I really don't understand it. They must think their audience is a bunch of simpletons.

See hockey in a similar way? That's quite concerning.

 

[pld459666]

We should not have two 80+ years old guys doing our games.

Time for both guys to go.

 

[Blueshirt Believer]

Not really, these guys are north american north south type of guys.

This season was a meat grinder. I thought the schedule would be fun but man it was tough. The early season series against Pittsburgh, blowing those leads, haunted us all year trying to catch up. Honestly, we finished where we should have. We are the best of the bottom four teams in that division. I don't get the impatience with the rebuild because alot of things that had nothing to do with hockey put their stamp on this season. Next year the kids get another year older towards their prime, the cap numbers are not horrible, Those top 4 teams get a little bit older, a little bit slower, and a little more expensive, and the gap closes.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

We don't even play a north south style.

 

[Blueshirt Believer]

We don't even play a north south style.

Right, the offense is clearly not coached by Quinn.

Quinn's contribution is getting the young kids to play at both ends. Outside of that, the players dictate.

But, if you listen to Quinn: he clearly is a north south guy. Probably why he loves Howden so much.

Drury has to decide to fire Quinn, his buddy and his mistake, or not. This exit interview talk just sounds like an attempt at buying time. Wonder if they will get rid of the troublesome veterans instead (Zib and a few others), get Eichel in and call it a fresh start.

I just can't imagine a coach who has accomplished 0 in the NHL being the hill this organization will die on. It's insanity.
