Post-Game Talk: Rangers @ Sabres -- 4/3/21

[SnowblindNYR]

4-8-5 in one goal games this year if anyone wanted to know. That would be 4 UP, 13 DOWN. Several of those games the Rangers had a lead late.

That's where you earn your playoff spot, kids.

Two of those wins they blew a third period lead to get into OT.

 

[carlsection404]

this team is not making playoffs they never were there goal tending has not been good enough all year
fire quinnnnnnnnnnnnnnn

 

[MetalJaws]

KZB have been atrocious as of late. Pathetic, embarrassing efforts by all 3 5v5.

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

Disgusting.

Outplayed by the worst team in the league.

I'm upset that Shesterkin has the talent that Hank has but right now he's a mental midget. And it's ok this year, but we'll go another career of a Ranger goalie that we won't win a cup if he doesn't become mentally stronger. I'm concerned about his future prospects, I really am.

Wasn't Lundqvist a mental midget too? Can't win. Every goalie the Rangers have ever had is a mental midget who will never win anything.

 

[CasusBelli]

We should have lost both these Buffalo games lol. #Fox4Norris

Igor also got lucky several times this game. Very lucky.

 

[Machinehead]

Kravtsov was good.

Fox and Lindgren, the usual.

Hajek, the usual.

buch was good tonight. It’s not his fault those 2 have turned the clock back to January.

 

[Tob]

I don't agree with Foxy there. What do you mean a crap shoot? We have Panarin, Zibanejad, Fox, Kreider, and Kakko. Any of which is better than any player they have except for maybe Reinhart. Loser coach breeds loser mentality. No fire, no passion, shackled down. Right back to scoring problems after Quinn comes back.

 

[Kakko Schmakko]

I'm a broken record but unless Shesterkin gets his mind in check we'll never win a thing with him in net.

not his fault the coaching staff is 3rd rate garbage

 

[Oscar Lindberg]

Shestyorkin is great I have no idea why anyone would complain about him

And these young players, let’s get a coach in here that has a clue before coming to any meaningful conclusions

 

[bl02]

Last year we watched this team fly in overtime. Like the wins against the Leafs the Wild even against the Pens some beautiful goals flying up the ice. Now they just go around in circles if they have the puck scared to do anything.

 

[Glen Sathers Cigar]

Lmao at Joe Micheletti talking playoffs as they walk off the ice. They just lost to the f***ing Sabres dude. Margin was already razor thin to begin with.

Did you have the same worries about him last year when he was stealing us games?

 

[AWall THE CLAW]

Right. And they never talk about it. I hope in the locker room they are. If the Rangers knew how to hold a late lead where'd they be right now? That +19 goal differential tells me solidly in playoff position.

God I miss Henrik. Nothing against Igor but Henrik was just comfort and safety.

This strategy or just skating in circles and maintaining possession but not moving enough to use the open ice and create openings makes zero sense. The whole point in possessing and doubling back is to try and throw the opposition off and create a new lane to pounce on. But they don’t do that they just skate around playing catch and looking at each other. It’s mind boggling.

Do not do this again for another 10 years. Do not.

Tbh, I'm glad Igor has bad moments and I hope he has more.

I don't wanna spend 10% of the cap on a goalie again.

 

[Gospel of Prospal]

Kravtsov was good.

Fox and Lindgren, the usual.

Hajek, the usual.

I thought Gauthier played one of his better games tonight. He was noticeable on both ends of the ice. And based on the eye test, Hajek wasn't as bad as the chart says he was.

10000000% this.

I really like Igor but even with a bad team in front of him Hank (before the decline obv) isn’t losing these games.

Like I've said before, Hajek passes the eye test because you can't make mistakes when the other team has the puck the entire time you're on the ice.

I need a strong powerful man in my life.
