What does Carolina have to do with OUR 5v5 game? Please. Stay on topic. Don't just spam mass reply things that are irrelevant to the point.
This isn't a one off, we've struggled 5v5 since Gerard came here. We struggled again, against an AHL team. We have the most talented lineup in Rangers history. We need to be way better at producing offense.
We are bad 5v5, this is not debatable. Deflecting into different tangents to prove what exactly? We're not bad 5v5? You can't spin it. We need to be better 5v5.
You want to argue it's personnel? Great. I'd argue it's our coaching staff and our 'tactics' or the lack thereof. If we do not improve 5v5, guess what? Gallant's most likely gone.
If someone points out that it's an atrocity to go to OT, then it's an atrocity for a team that is better and hotter than the Rangers.
I don't remember arguing with you, or anyone else, about 5x5.
Looks like you're the one who went off point.
Yes, we disagree about coaching vs. personnel. I'll almost always take the position that personnel and luck makes a Cup. It's just the way sports work.
Coaching in all sports is vastly overrated and I find it funny when fans say teams don't practice or they can somehow judge from their couch a coach's worth.
I think some people will never understand that personnel crushes all other factors.
