Post-Game Talk: Rangers @ Devils: Two More to Go

[will1066]

A good summary by Henrik live now - Devils take advantage of our mistakes in this game.

30 teams have taken advantage of our mistake of a season

 

[CasusBelli]

Imagining Larry David as our coach ...

Talking to the ref after a disallowed goal ...
LD: “I, uh, I know what you did there”
Ref: “What are you talking about?”
LD: “The offside ... it was ... it was close”
Ref: “Yeah, and your guy was offside.”
LD: “See, I’m ... I’m not so sure.”
Ref: “He crossed the line before the puck.”
LD: “But he had possession.”
Ref: “No he didn’t. He didn’t have control.”
LD: “So whats the cutoff?”
Ref: “What?”
LD: “For possession. What’s the cutoff?”
Ref: “You know it when you see it.”
LD: “So there’s no cutoff? You can’t tell me that, oh, such and such happened, so he didn’t have possession.”
Ref: “I guess not ...”
LD: “So how can you say he’s offside? He can’t be offside if there’s no cutoff!”
Ref: “Do you want me to review the play?”
LD: “I don’t know. Sounds like you’re biased. I think you just want to review it to give my team 2 minutes for delay of game.”
Ref: “Yes or no?”
LD: “I, uh, I got my eye on you ...”
Ref: “Review or no review?”
LD: “Its ok. I know how these things go. Next time I’ll come prepared ... I’ll go to the ATM before the game. I see how it is.”
Ref: “Excuse me?”
LD: “I saw you. With the other coach. You two were pretty huddled up. Talking quietly in the hallway before the game. And I can’t help but wonder ... what could be so private? But now I know. I see how it is.”
Ref: “You’re done. I’m ejecting you from the game.”
LD: “I’m not so sure. You took a bribe ... I’m not so sure you’re in a position to tell me what to do ... In fact, I think you might owe me a goal. Without a review.”
Ref: “I miss Torts.”

 

[FireGerardGallant]

Trading Miller for Names is a fireable offense

Recency bias much?
Also Miller was not traded for Names there were other pieces both ways

 

[SML2]

The Islanders can pass us by beating us Thursday

I don't think there's any way to avoid it. I'm calling Barzal with a Herculean 25 point night to take the scoring lead by a nose.

 

[Vinny DeAngelo]

@Vinny DeAngelo: A win would really disappoint me

What's the polar opposite of disappointment? lol

Lol chytil got a point! Solid tank job

 

[Nopuckluck]

Names is a waste. Guy does nothing
Chytl is youngvthank God but he does nothing for me yet.

At least the islanders won

You got a like from me for the effort alone

Staal trying so hard not to badmouth AV

Kreider trying so hard not to badmouth AV

The looks on the players in their interviews are very telling. Look of exasperation and indifference

What did they say?

Players doing nothing for you correlate surprisingly to their European nationality.

We all do, Ref.

 

[HatTrick Swayze]

Compile a ton of meaningless points in previous games yet get EMBARRASSED by the NJD to allow them to almost clinch.

Perfect.

Well not much to cheer for this game, but it`s a new practice tomorrow AV said just minutes ago. I admit that I`m a bit sad that Lias skating skills prevent him to move up to a better skilled line than our 4th. It`s hard to create anything for Lias on the same line with Holland - a couple of injuries and we really struggle with depth.

Plenty of cheap forward depth was available this summer and Gorton sat on his hands.

 

[bl02]

Boy the Panthers fans must be pissed at us. They legit would have had a chance 3 points down 2 games in hand but hey maybe they shouldn't have lost to the oil tankers and ottawa just recently

 

[2Leetch_94]

Only team Panthers fans should be mad with is their own.

 

[Irishguy42]

Mmmmmmm. Yes. I read this as a subtle dig at AV. Love it.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

Mmmmmmm. Yes. I read this as a subtle dig at AV. Love it.

Eh, players say that all the time. Unless that's all he said.

 

[Machinehead]

Mmmmmmm. Yes. I read this as a subtle dig at AV. Love it.

lol they're not.

Goes to show you the standard Chris is used to.

 

[NYRFAN218]

I still can’t get past Desharnais not being at the arena. Why would their only healthy scratch not be in the building? Did they not consider guys get hurt during warmups? Lol

 

[Zats Muccarello]

At this point of the cluster-f*** of a season I doubt they care.

 

[Flying Puck]

Girardi, Mac, Miller, Stepan and Nash are laughing at this debacle right now. Jeff Gorton should be gone for this mess he has created!

 

[GregSirico]

Chris Kreider on the Devils: "They're well-coached.''

 

[Machinehead]

Girardi lol

 

[Hi ImHFNYR]

30 teams have taken advantage of our mistake of a season

It's behind the bench

 

[Hi ImHFNYR]

Girardi, Mac, Miller, Stepan and Nash are laughing at this debacle right now. Jeff Gorton should be gone for this mess he has created!

Aside from Miller who is feasting on the production of one of the best players in the whole league every guy you mentioned has done very little since the TDL and none of them accomplished much all season.

Losing Girardi, Stepan and Nash were all net positive moves. Doesn't make sense to include them in this point you're making
