Post-Game Talk: I can Motte believe it

[Ori]

And Leafs is about to collaps as usual near playoffs time Islanders 2-5 now

 

[Shesterkybomb]

I still believe we're a better team in 7 games

 

[Clark Kellogg]

The positive going forward is, the crowd will be more engaged on Thursday.

 

[Kocur26]

I still believe we're a better team in 7 games

Agreed

 

[Kakko]

On one hand, they were way too passive. Nobody ever pinched on offense after they took the lead. They thought they could shut them down as long as they didn't make mistakes and get caught on a break. Up two, I wouldn't hate it, but 40 minutes on a one goal was never gonna work out.

On the other hand, this is still the same RBA Carolina team. A lot of playoff style, ticky tacky stuff. Not afraid to take a penalty. Which loses it's potency in April, when everyone's doing it.

Hank bingo. Carolina doesn't have anyone who can "change the pattern". They feed off mistakes, not from their own offensive creativity. Just play smarter and more disciplined

 

[bl02]

someone's always gotta find a way to blame the best player on the team for the loss

Best player??? LOL. Highest paid player yes.
And I didn't blame him for the loss just pointed out the stupidity of him not making the right decision that led to winning goal.

 

[Captain Lindy]

I stayed up until now (almost 3 am) for this, lol.

This game wasn't worth losing sleep over. I feel for you.

ESPN+ cut off the second the clock was hit zero. Which play is he talking about.

The play on Lindgren on the wall that led to the 3rd goal

That's why we will eliminate them, if we face them in the playoffs that is.

Okay. Now I'm REALLY depressed.

yes he's the best player on the team. stopped reading there.

So happy Miller was celebrated for his 4 points in 1 period against a decimated Nashville team only to completely shit the bed in the 3rd period in a more meaningful game against a tougher opponent that you could face in the 1st round. Add that to that asinine turnover in the Pittsburgh game. When does the excuse that he is still new to being a defenseman go away and we can just see that he makes some absolutely brutal mental mistakes. Simple ones too. Just a really bad job by him tonight. The offense is nice but you need to take care of the defensive side of the puck first as priority.

 

[jerseyjinx94]

Gonna lose some games. Not a huge deal

 

[Clark Kellogg]

I'm not upset - we took it to them for a full two periods.

Bring on the next game.

Wrong thread.
This is the Ranger’s board.

 

[Boris Zubov]

The play on Lindgren in the corner that led to the 3rd goal

Something looked off when I watched that live. Makes sense now.

 

[chosen]

We deserve to lose this. Gotta capitalize on our pp. It wasn't so much what Carolina did Than it was our brain farts.

It was all about what Carolina did.

 

[ICanMotteBelieveIt]

This game wasn't worth losing sleep over. I feel for you.

Yeah, it sucked. And I pulled my f***ing neck on Sunday, got a cold and we got a workshop In the office tomorrow which is kind of mandatory, f*** this.

I'm off to bed. Take care dude.

 

[Paulie Walnutz]

Imagine an Islanders Carolina first round snooze fest? Might as well not even air that shit or put it on ESPN 8 The Ocho.

 

[bl02]

yes he's the best player on the team. stopped reading there.

Yikes. Someone actually believes Panarin is better and more important than Fox or Shesterkin... Won't even mention Zibby. Losing those guys would hurt this team way more.

 

[17futurecap]

Just run out the clock on these next 3 weeks without injuries. They have been locked in as the 3 seed for weeks in this never ending regular season.

 

[ICanMotteBelieveIt]

Well I'm off, gotta wake up in like 3 hours and head to the office.

It was nice talking to ya, even though the game sucked ass. And to you Motte-maniacs, respect.

 

[Shesterkybomb]

Just run out the clock on these next 3 weeks without injuries. They have been locked in as the 3 seed for weeks in this never ending regular season.

I'd like to see the minute's spread more evenly over the next while.

 

[Ruggs225]

Yeah that sucked.

On a other note, wow does carolina interfere alot. They are masterful at that. Its a skill that we never do.

Passing is alos a skill we dont do.

Well, back at then thursday. Be ready.

 

[ColonialsHockey10]

Good thing I paid for tickets. Entire team, top to bottom, was ass.

Schneider is already probably the worst defenseman in the league. But that was his magnum opus. He didn’t make a single right decision out there.
