Post-Game Talk: Game # 47 - Rangers vs Flyers - 7pm - MSG

[SnowblindNYR]

Fire Quinn, he will be fired anyway at some point next season, no reason to not fire him at this offseason.

Cue his ass kissers telling you how wrong you are.

This whole board looked at the lineup before the game, saw we had one pair and somehow was like "yeah, we're gonna dominate here and the only way we lose is if we don't try hard"

 

[The New Russian Five]

I thought we actually were playing well until the penalties completely killed our flow. Undisciplined hockey was our problem.

They won 6 of 8 games with Trouba out before the Islanders game.

 

[Machinehead]

Lindgren and Fox are exhausted. Hate to make @Machinehead correct lol

I resent that

 

[KevinFinnerty]

Listen everyone, big picture wise— we’re in a much better spot drafting a higher pick this summer rather than out in 4-5 against any other Eastern team. This team is not ready yet. Need to trim the fat— Rooney, Howden, Smith, PDG and decide to move one of our stars for some moxy and grit.

 

[Gospel of Prospal]

Play Gauthier; call-up Reunanen, Barron, Ronning...Move Kravtsov to the Panarin-Strome line. No need to ever see Brett Howden wear a Rangers sweater ever again.

 

[17futurecap]

There is no way Blackwell should get top six minutes the rest of the way, it’s over Quinn, get Krav off the 4th line, start letting Chytil get more minutes over Strome, kids on PP1 etc...

Use these last few gams to evaluate.

How many times did they play the Sabres?

Reliance on fancy hockey with zero soundness when it comes to the fundamentals

Brian Elliot beats us again lol. Lose tomorrow. Maybe Nashville passes us too we can slide a few more spots up in the draft...only to not draft a center lol

 

[The New Russian Five]

I thought Laf looked good with Zbad and Buch. He's coming along. He should stay there for the rest of the season. Only other change that needs to happen is Kravtsov should be playing with bread. Blackwell hasn't looked good on that line for a little while now.

 

[RGY]

Barron probably would have converted on the shorthanded 2-on-1... but hey stonehand Howden strikes again...

Game wouldve been 2-0 at that point. But the Teacher’s Pet flounders again.

 

[Gospel of Prospal]

Thankfully he's not the quitter you are.

...Actually, he did quit...but cool story, bro

 

[SnowblindNYR]

How many times did they play the Sabres?

I don't know but they've struggled against the Sabres this year, every game has been close. I'm pretty sure it wasn't more than twice anyway.

 

[Oscar Lindberg]

Gorton must be sitting up in the press box these last few weeks with his head in his hands saying “why on earth did we keep Kreider?”

It's not saying much, but that might have benn Howden's best game of the season.

 

[bl02]

For my money Fox lost us this game with his careless penalty. After that goal the Rangers were dominated. He needs to do A LOT better than that.

He's been human. Can't blame him. Carrying this offense of neutered young forwards. he's exhausted and now frustrated realizing no playoffs again.

Reliance on fancy hockey with zero soundness when it comes to the fundamentals

That's what the entire system is build upon.

Fugazi hockey... Fantasy hockey... we look good on paper

 

[Leonardo87]

1st period was good, and then it went downhill from there. Fox and Lindgren could only do so much, after that it drops off way too much with Trouba out.

 

[bl02]

I thought Igor had a great game, shame he did t get a W tonight

He played amazing. Should have been easily 5-1 at one point.

 

[itsPLkielbasa]

Should of had at least four but we couldn't finish.

On to next year, hopefully without Quinn. We go down 2-1 and he puts Howden out there next shift. I just don't comprehend his decisions. We need to score and are fighting for the playoffs so lets put Brett "I Bring Nothing" to Howden the table.

 

[will1066]

You just can't survive on fancy east-west passing plays. There must be some net crashing and shooting for rebound chances, there's gotta be some funneling towards the goalmouth. This shit is as fundamental and basic as time itself. I swear, watch how the good teams like the Bruins and Isles play. There's always a purpose there, every play they make has a purpose to funnel the direction of the puck toward the net on offense. We go lateral instead

 

[chosen]

...Actually, he did quit...but cool story, bro

He did once, but he won't again, unlike what you said you would do.

 

[Whoot Whoot]

Ok we're out - let the kids off the leash
