Post-Game Talk: Game #28 Rangers vs Flyers 03/17/2021

[Joe Ranger Fan 1960]

Hey boys. That was fun. Nothing wrong with a little coach hate from the boys on the ice. It shows me that Quinn is doing something right. The boys looked like the guys we wanted from Edmonton all those years ago. Now if Kakko would drive the net with our number one pick, whatever the heck his name is again, maybe we would have a contender here.

Happy for George too.

I did say a few days ago he/Quinn should give the bench to Martin and for Quinn to sit in the Ranger private box watch the club and we would see what would happen...something I never expected to happen in all honesty . Then it happens and look what happens...I wonder what the convo was between Gorton and JD last night . I wonder if they have made a call to Gallant yet ?

Sometimes being a fly wouldn't stink.

T

They can shove the testing up that azz...who wants to see that annoyance during a game...geesh....Mickey Mouse the game even more .

Found it very difficult to follow the puck. Very very distracting.
Putting in better perspective....... The puck with the tail was a THOUSAND times better. And that sucked.

 

[Larrybiv]

True but just making the deal to make sure we got him was important. He probably would've signed here but nothing is done until it's done.

Either way, getting a player of his caliber for two 2nd round picks is crazy. Most NCAA players who don't sign turn out to be good but not great players, I feel like it's extremely rare for an actually elite player to shake loose in this way.

I'll be honest. When U heard we gave up those picks, I was like wtf? Heard he was really good, but wouldn't be the 1st time that "really good player we acquire" turns out to be "not so good".
Howden anyone? The list is actually quite a bit larger. Don't have the mind nor time for it.

These player-trackers were not transparent and blocked players and moving puck. It’s fine for the post game highlights but not in the game, at least not more than a single second.

I well remember the game they referenced last night when the Rangers defeated the California Golden Seals 12-1 in 1971. I was a season ticket holder in the old blue seats, section 432, row B, seat 9. I remember the Seals goalie, Gilles Meloche, who went on to have a fine career, but was very young at the time, leaving the ice literally in tears. Shots on goal were 52-16. . Jean Ratelle had four goals but it was Gene Carr's two goals and two assists I remember most. I think we had just gotten him in a trade and we all thought he was going to have a great career. Didn't happen. The height of the Francis era.

I remember it very well too, but while you were at the game I was in 11 year old that listened to it in my mother's bedroom on her alarm clock radio because my transistor didn't pick up the game. It was so memorable to me because of the amount of goals that they scored against a pretty pathetic California golden seal Team. I saw the highlights of the game on the news but that was about it. In regard to Gene Carr with his golden hair..... man was that so and so a speedy mother so and so.

Oh. And how the heck is Lemieux rated so low in stars of the game? Wake up boys. Fox and Lemieux made this happen.

*The Rangers lose.

HFNYR: The Rangers suck.

*The Rangers win 9-0.

HFNYR: The Rangers still suck.

You guys are absolutely f***ing miserable. Why even be a fan of this team if you're going to trash them when they win 9-0? Just go root for the Penguins or something.

Not me! I'm happier than a pig in shit while scratching off a winning lottery ticket!

LOL, now the Flyers have to play the Islanders twenty-four hours later?

snowblind pls

what's the goal% on high quality chances?

Looks like quite a bit more than MoneyPuck's method, although the ratio is very similar. If you multiply MoneyPuck's by 2 it's almost exactly the same lol.

Expected Goals -All Situations

1.08 xG - 2.41 xG

I was responding to "I hope this win doesn't make us think they're actually good". What a douchy comment following a 9-0 win.

 

[Larrybiv]

That said I'm not a hockey coach or something...I think we just see that most successful NHL teams play a very skilled game but also a game that doesn't heavily rely on only doing East-West style play.

Seems to me that it needs to be somewhere around a 50 to 50 ratio. If your team is known to be north-south on a regular basis, surely that would open up East-West plays. We have plenty of talent to complete east west, but what we need are a hell of a lot more players willing to go in front of the net and take a little bit of a beating in hopes of drawing penalties. Being a fan it's really easy to say, but if these players really want to win you have to "take one for the team". Am I wrong?

You mean slop lol. A pig in its own shit is probably just neutral.

There's been some talk of a pivotal game, that could define the Rangers season. Some here said this 9-0 rout could be it. I said the 4-0 shutout in Boston a couple of games back. But on second thought, I think neither are the pivotal moment in our season. Both those teams were in slumps and not playing particularly well. Whereas tomorrow night, we play the Caps who won 6 in a row, 9 out of their last 10. And are now in first place in the East. This upcoming game is more likely to be the benchmark of how well this season can be.

And Zibad just loves playing against the Caps! I'll never forget his game winner in OT against them last year. Along with his 4 other goals that night. LOL

I was there. Right before the lockdown. It’s the only game I’ve seen in person in like 2 years. Glad I saw a good one at least

 

[Ola]

@Ola I don't know if you overcomplicate or oversimplify things. Straight forward - the system that coach install allows Zibanejad and Panarin lines each to produce sufficiently at the first line levels at ES. Third line should produce some goals too but there's a lot less pressure on them and constantly improved Chytil seems to be doing just fine. So again, I have no idea of why Quinn is blamed for stifling creativity rather than looking at games that Panarin missed and Zibanejad was recovering from covid. That simple.

Respectfully I disagree. And that is why I also went to the effort of quoting those posts I made early February, to show that I (a) early February clearly called that the way we played would kill our offense, litterary saying ‘wow why aren’t it talked about how the way we play will kill our offensive productions from our stars?’ (b) which followed by almost 4 weeks of games — with BOTH Ziba and Panarin playing — when we didn’t score anything, before Panarin took a break in late February or was it early March. It felt like longer, but Panarin has only missed a little more than two weeks.

This is we’re management must be held accountable.

Zibanejad was playing? C'mon, he was barely able to skate. Again, the only reason he stayed there in the lineup was because Chytil was injured so there was no options. Panarin was on offensive tear right before he took LOA and "only two week" resulted in missing 9 games which was close to 50% of the games when he returned. Are you kidding me??? If Panarin didn't take LOA and Zibanejad was closer to last year (or even prior year) form - the Rangers would've been in the thick of the battle for PO spot.

to be fair, there have been numerous games where a player or the entire team has played really well only for an absolute dud of a game following. We are consistently inconsistent and it’s frustrating.

I think a 9-0 win against a decent team warrants not telling everyone how they still suck for one night.

I can assure you, these rankings did not look like this 24 hours ago.

philly played like hot garbage. it was so much more about philly sucking than our actual performance. and philly gave up entirely after like goal 5, and played pretty badly before then. even a blind squirrel finds a nut every once in a while. I don’t think we’re “bad”, we struggle so hard to string 3 or 4 really good performances. And even the tiniest bit of adversity and we fold like a cheap suit. The game last night was an absolute massacre, and I hope it’s a turning point for the team, but I’m extremely concerned we’re gonna lay at least one egg against Washington over the next two games. I want this team to do well, but taking advantage of a team that played so much worse than we played well gives a misleading story. The next two games are so incredibly crucial for us, and I’m terrified.

Rangers give up 3 high danger chances in the first period, win 9-0.

Which they go right ahead and win. Proving once again that one game need not be predictive of anything.

This team can't win with you. We lost 5-4 in OT and it was the end of the world. They win 9-0 and you refuse to give them credit. Show me one game in NHL history that ended 9-0 where the team that lost didn't suck. f*** that noise.

They didn’t win. They lost and God intervened.

what I’m saying is I’d like to see them not shit the bed against Washington. if they don’t, I’ll feel a lot better about thd team. if they do, we’re back to square 1.
