Post-Game Talk: Rangers @ Canucks -- 11/3/21

[will1066]

We have baby soft superstars that seem to get softer each year. Just ridiculously soft compared to other teams who always skate hard towards pucks but not our group.

 

[rdhstlr23]

You can only win so many games in the NHL playing as poorly as the Rangers have. They are lucky to have 6 wins with the way they have played as a team. Something has to change with this line up. They are what 10 games in and nothing is changing in terms of a team learning a new system or cohesiveness.

That’s the concern right? They still look like crap and really don’t seem to be getting any better. They’ve getting caved in by just about every team they play.

This team is bad and so on but also can MSG like fix their audio issues already

 

[bl02]

Can't wait to see Georgie vs the Oilers.

 

[Kovalev27]

Said it earlier but shesterkin was fighting the puck all night. Just couldn’t locate it and sure enough that’s how the game ends. He was tremendous again but just wasn’t as sharp with his control.

he’s the LAST person you blame for the loss.

This should be a lesson learned tonight

serious concerns over kakko and lafreniere. And really concerned about Chytil who is regressing here.

that l was signed sealed delivered when we dont score on 5 on 3/ensuing pp

but...wtf was goodrow doing there. igor keeps you alive and you decide the post he's on is the one that needs to be defended? would love to know the thought process on that one

 

[ViD]

He's the team now so I hate to say it but Shesterkin f***ing SUCKS in OT. Last season felt like he lost every one of those games.

What? He made an incredible save on a breakaway and you blame him?

You guys are spoiled with goalies

Right here boys, this is the one! This is the most brain dead take I've ever seen on HFBoards Rangers and I've seen a lot!

 

[RGY]

Alexis Lafreniere: 3 tap in goals, one secondary assist

Kaapo Kakko: 0 points in 6 games.

Future is bright boys

Take a breather guy. Seriously this shit is over the top.

 

[mas0764]

That was a bad loss.

Also, those Top 3 lines really do nothing. I think Gallant should really try to do something else.

I’m also really worried about Kakko and Lafreniere. I don’t see anything special from either.

This is how you know it’s the team.

We didn’t just whiff on two unanimous top choices in a row.

 

[DanielBrassard]

Kakko and Laf should both request trades. They are not going to be anything on this team.

Maybe we can trade them for a legitimate superstar center who's still in his prime.

 

[FireGerardGallant]

Game was over when they didn’t score that 5 on 3. The offense is putrid, something has to change in that department

 

[mas0764]

It’s not over the top.

Something has to change.

 

[Blueshirt Believer]

Embarrassing effort. I’ve never seen a softer team in the offensive zone. No one wants to shoot or go to the net.

Season is going nowhere if they want to just skate around the perimeter giving the puck away and it starts with the top guys

Embarassing effort? Thats a little dramatic don't ya think.

The Rangers skated hard all night.

They made some key mistakes. But, they didn't play poorly.

They got a point. Didn't get the other but they didn't deserve two last game.

It evened out.

 

[Glen Sathers Cigar]

They're not doing anything at 5v5 except for the 4th line. The top 9 needs to be shaken up.

I know he scored tonight but Mika looks atrocious.

 

[Synergy27]

Many complain about the fact that Laf and Kakko aren’t scoring. Many shoot them down as impatient.

What does the org and coaching staff see in these guys? They don’t use them like potential superstar scorers. Why not?

 

[bl02]

Ok Stevie if you are gonna blame K'Andre for first let's see you blame our superstar in the making Laffy boy on the second.

 

[OthmannOut]

Got a point, Zibanejad and Panarin finally scored, PP was way better, and after the momentum shift we hung on and nearly won the game on the final PP (Demko bailed the Canucks out there). The only problem is another stale game from some of the kids. I expect them to get hot eventually. Someone unironically is saying we should trade Laf or Kakko for Miller; A splendid reminder as to why I never post in the game threads.

 

[DudMan28]

Turns out Covid Mika was just Mika

 

[RGY]

It’s not over the top.

Something has to change.

They are 5-2-2. Gallant is no idiot. I am confident things will change.

 

[DanielBrassard]

Alexis Lafreniere: 3 tap in goals, one secondary assist. 2 PIM tonight including a turnover leading to Vancouver’s second goal
Kaapo Kakko: 0 points in 6 games.

Future is bright boys

Chytil with 1 point in 10 games too. What the f*** lol.

 

[ViD]

Serious question: would it be possible for Rangers to trade Laf and Kakko for Eichel ? Can they add him under the cap?

 

[NoQuitInNewMexico]

I can already see Julien beating an Oilers defenseman wide and tapping a muffin into the goalie's pads

very good point. They didn't even sniff ice time in overtime.

Covid Mika > Married Mika
