Post-Game Talk: Rangers @ Panthers - January 2

[SnowblindNYR]

Post more than just "tank" if that is really something you want the team to do.

Do we have a first round pick this coming draft?

Do we have a first round pick this coming draft?

If we miss the playoffs, yes.

 

[ZiGOODejad]

Terrible terrible team lately

 

[Machinehead]

I liked Kreider ruffling feathers tonight

 

[member 116805]

Didnt see this one. Guessing Hank was stellar and everything else stunk?
Nevisis?

I liked Kreider ruffling feathers tonight

Did he ruffle feathers or just play on almost invisible game with a questionable hit? Glass seemed to ruffle some feathers

 

[Captain Lindy]

If we miss the playoffs, yes.

Are you sure about that? There have been so many deals involving picks with so many conditions that it's totally confusing.

 

[ltsthinaz]

Hank is exasperated and his play reflects it. He'll be the King again when management starts earning its paycheck.

I agree. Hank is NOT the problem. Neither is McD by the way. They're both just trying to do too much to cover up the problems with the rest of the team.

Yes. The 2016 1st round pick we traded for Yandle is lottery protected.

Anyone who wants to tank is severely underestimating how bad you have to be to finish last.

Pick is lottery protected - so yes, if we miss the playoffs we get the pick.

Etem's last game as a Ranger?

You don't have to finish last to win the lottery. Just ask Edmonton

 

[Hunter Gathers]

2 goals against out of 8 in from in close isn't really that bad.

I honestly can't take Valley seriously sometimes. He was so full of **** tonight and basically being an apologist for Hank's play.

3 goals on 18 shots. 0 on 39. Atrocious by Hank and the skaters.

Nevisis?

Hank was far from stellar. Unless you were being sarcastic.

 

[Oscar Lindberg]

Etem's last game as a Ranger?

No not even close. He's going to finish out the season for the team at the least. Only way he's moved is he is packaged to move one of the dead weights that are Staal or G

You're just severely underestimating how bad the Rangers are.

 

[Captain Lindy]

Yes. The 2016 1st round pick we traded for Yandle is lottery protected.

Thank you!

"How's it going Oilers?"

"Oh, you know, just finishing last again."

Sounds fun

We're not nearly bad enough to get a really good pick and even if we're terrible the rest of the way how many teams that pick in the top 10 even have a 16-3-2 stretch at any point in their season? If we started 3-16-2 what would the odds be that we'd be a top team? And with the loser point system it's easier to rise than to fall. We have a lot of wins to overcome.

I can't believe this post after the October we had.

 

[offdacrossbar]

nash and kreider flat out stink

etem and stalberg flat out dumb and fringe nhl'ers.

hank is no longer super human. i think this one really hurts. love the guy but he seems to give up atleast one stinker or more per game that he used to stop.

2 guys who suck and 2 who shouldn't play again and one who needs to play alot better.

love the "we didn't play that bad" stuff. we got shut the **** out. like zero goals. and i saw way too much heartless play in periods 1 and 2.

"we played better in the 3rd when we were trying to not get shutout". that comment made me lol.

He ruffled my feathers.

I keep this around just for these type of discussions:

If we don't make the playoffs we keep this year's pick and lose nexts

Valley is really, really smart, but he's still a goalie and will defend the goalie accordingly.
