Zilch on 6 PPs? Don't deserve a win. I know 5-on-5 has gotta be better but they couldn't even set up on the PP, couldn't make an entry and are too shitty at forechecking to take the other route.
On the PP.

How about the goaltender? Every decent chance we give up goes in.

How the hell was the third goal Hank’s fault?

Yeah, the first two are, but geez, he couldn’t stop that, and shouldn’t have to face that. Stupid play by Shattenkirk and lazy backcheckin.

 

[Maliks PlusMinus]

And of course everyone is blaming Shattenkirk. Predictable.

The goal was his fault. The second goal was Lundqvist's fault.

How about the goaltender? Every decent chance we give up goes in.

No way that you anyone watches that period in a vacuum and criticises Lundqvist's performance.

 

[Siddi]

Now that is funny right there.

What does that even mean? Facts are facts.

Nevermind, you are new here and hopefully you will improve.

 

[Griffinbw]

Not referencing that goal specifically. Just generally he gets berated for it here

That was not the situation involving that goal against.. nothing to do with system. just dumb pass

Yeah he couldn't stop that because no goalie has ever stopped a breakaway in the NHL.

 

[GregSirico]

Certainly AV will be fired if they lose to the Coyotes... right?

I think he’s gone after tonight.

 

[haveandare]

We've had like ten of our breakaways saved already this year. It's possible.

Yeah not saying it’s impossible just that it’s a bit much to call a breakaway a decent chance

 

[Tob]

They'll have a gangbusters third period only to fall short 3-2.

I hope not. If we're going to lose, I'd rather lose in grand fashion that gives Gorton something to think about.

 

[Machinehead]

The goal was his fault. The second goal was Lundqvist's fault.

We're down three in a game we're completely dominating.

Good time to criticize the goaltender.

 

[Siddi]

Thank goodness this is Fan Appreciation Night.

Well at least they won it for the kids the other day..

 

[NYR]

AV can't get booted soon enough for me but to blame the system for a dumbass play is another thing #Shattenkirk

 

[mrmovies779]

Yeah he couldn't stop that because no goalie has ever stopped a breakaway in the NHL.

It's funny watching you defend an analytics darling like Shattenkirk after he f***s up

 

[RiffyNYR61]

How dare he only stop 2 out of 3 breakaways!

 

[haveandare]

Vally is right in, too many low shots. Nash seems to shoot low 90% of the time. Lift the damn puck, it’s 2017

 

[bl02]

I even feel bad criticizing Shatty cause guy really wanted to come here but tonight he has been abysmal . like the first game this season that he doesn't wanna be here. Holik style.
So I rather go back to criticizing Rick Nash lol. A guy that is killing every line he touches offensively

 

[Mordeth]

I've defended AV alot in the past, but i think this team need a change. I don't blame AV for much other then a stupid defensive system. I think the players have ALOT of the blame in this. But to change things up its 10x times easier changing 1 coach then changing 10 players. It's just not working right now. Something needs to happen. You can tell they are trying and they are working hard, but its just not working out for them.

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

Rangers can't kill penalties, but AV has done a good job of getting the team to kill my desire to watch them.

 

[chosen]

Please explain how having a top 5 pick in a solid draft is worse than picking at 15? Also if they are sellers they might be able to pry more ‘18 picks.

If you shed multiple decent players in order to move up 10 spots, you guarantee nothing other than that the team will be worse next season.

 

[member 116805]

A clean breakaway is beyond “decent”

Lower chance than you might think, even a penalty shot only resulted in a goal 27.6% of the time last season, and that's when the shooter has "all the time in the world" so score with no pressure from defending players. And that's with the teams top 3 breakaway players usually.

 

[Maliks PlusMinus]

We're down three in a game we're completely dominating.

Good time to criticize the goaltender.

We haven't scored, good time to criticise the skaters too.

 

[Machinehead]

It's funny watching you defend an analytics darling like Shattenkirk after he ****s up

Every defenseman f***s up.

He's still only been on the ice for one chance against all night.

 

[haveandare]

We're down three in a game we're completely dominating.

Good time to criticize the goaltender.

We’re only dominating if you literally value shots more than goals. I value shots a lot but you aren’t dominating when you can’t score to save your life.
