This is a bad hockey team.
This team has a bad coach. That is the biggest issue.

Jack Johnson for 20 minutes was absolutely vile. Its like they were trying to justify the signing.
They were very good at being very bad so this is not true

I like the fact that we're trying different PK combos
I thought Howden was great last night
even though Miller had a rough start (understatement lol) he settled in a bit and I can absolutely see the potential.
Also can see what they're trying to do with Gauthier. He barreled in and won quite a few battles. I think with some seasoning he can be a good compliment to the Panarin line.
Panarin has been sleep walking since February and I'm not a fan.
Strome is useless when his linemates are useless
Fox somehow looks better than last year
AL looks like he's been here before
Kreider on the PK looked awesome
JMFJ is dumber than dog shit.
Trouba has negative value if he keeps this up
whatever

I’ll agree with most of this but I didn’t think trouba had a bad game. You kind of have to isolate what he did when he didn’t have to cover for a mistake his partner made. When Miller settled down, he was able to play well.

This isn't the first time we've heard this from Quinn, and it was no different after the bubble camp and play-in tourney. I have no idea what the pace has been in the practices and scrimmages (because the Rangers were one of the only teams to not provide a stream of them to their fans), but this is starting to become a trend.
If I recall correctly, it also happened after the newly established bye week the Rangers had season or two ago as well. I don't think Quinn is on the hot seat just yet - but that performance should definitely raise some eyebrows in the front office.
We all know this is a super young team, but Quinn himself said it's ok to make mistakes as long as they are the wrong ones. That they need to be more physical and a harder team to play against.
Yes, its one game - but I didn't see much of anything to suggest anything has changed in that regard and if you are a top coach it doesn't matter what average age your club is, you can motivate them to at least play a spirited game on opening night in your home barn.
Let's hope it was all nerves and after a few games things start to jell a little better. But the effort needs to increase. Passion needs to be displayed. Otherwise I will seriously start to doubt the effectiveness of this head coach.

Good PK structure. Poor defense exploited. Lack of offensive creativity. Lack of intensity. Unremarkable goaltending most of the game.

Fox was amazing the first half of the game but fell off hard towards the end. Him getting embarrassed by Barzal was probably the single worst play of the night, but everyone (including me) gives him a pass because he is Fox. Taken as a whole I'd call it a below average performance from Fox in comparison to his tenure as a Ranger.
Not shocked at all. I would be shocked if he sat Saturday night. He will stay in and 50/50 Miller goes out smith in

Trotz is licking his stocky chops knowing he has 7 more games against Quinn.
i worry a little that the game was pretty much over when the had “good” pk’s. Probably just as much of a product of the Islanders being lax
Only took him a minute to be vile. And seriously getting embarrassed 4-0 throw a monster hit. Guys skills and probably his body are both shot

Meh. It was 4-0 in the 3rd period and he got his stick lifted.
DeAngelo got more embarrassed by Barzal on tha rush where he attacked his triangle and stickhandled through him before scoring to make it 3-0.

DeAngelo was bad on that play but was still in it and caused interference in his shot attempt, also was only in that situation due to JJ's massive f***up. That was a 5% chance that Shesty should've gotten.
Fox was the last man back with his head in the clouds giving Barzal a clean break at the goal with nobody within miles of him. That chance was roughly equivalent to a penalty shot and at least a 30-40% chance that was all on Fox.
