Yikes

f***in embarrassing coach

 

[Mike in Houston]

They would have won that game if they gave Shest a 4-1 lead.

Maybe. Maybe not.

 

[Mike in Houston]

Got a clip? I missed this.

 

[NYRangers16]

I just watched the highlights and am totally disgusted. Losing a 4-1 lead. McDavid being totally untouched. Pulj scoring two goals on us after we didn’t trade for him.

Also Georgiev needs to be released. Flat out get him off this roster.

 

[Tob]

Whatever problems we have, the confusion, it's on full display in OT. We've sucked. DAL, TOR (lucky W), VAN, EDM. Gallant came into camp taking it slow and was hands off all summer. Now it's starting to show. This is a cycle team that doesn't know how to cycle and Greg McKegg and Dryden Hunt have given up scoring goals just to cycle and stay in the line up.

 

[Kovalev27]

MSG edited out the gallant/Walker thing from their post game gallant video.

I have no problem with the question or with GG’s response.

With respect to Molly I’m sure she welcomes the same heat her colleagues would get for a question a coach didn’t like. She’s a pro she doesn’t need any white knights coming in to protect her. Im sure she rather this than some hey sweetheart next question type of attitude.

 

[Kovalev27]

I’m telling you right now. The game is on Georgiev I’m pretty happy with the way we played the majority of that game. You cannot win especially on the road with a goalie hiding in the back of the net. Completely puts the team on their heels.

that game is OVER with almost any other goalie. You get out of the 2nd up 4-1 most likely.

 

[Tob]

but does Mollie get her lunch money taken at the bus stop?

 

[Kovalev27]

And we’ll win tonight book it

 

[Jayan]

I cant even feel bad about this loss. That McJesus goal…

 

[Tob]

 

[Shesterkybomb]

That upset me. McDavid skated virtually untouched through four Rangers.

Poke check? This is not broomball. That is certainly not how I learned to play hockey. I hope they all get an ass-chewing.

Im not exactly sure why they signed Nemeth.

 

[Glen Sathers Cigar]

And we’ll win tonight book it

4-1 win.

34 saves from Shesty.

Goals:
Kreider (PP)
Kakko
Strome
Blais

 

[Shesterkybomb]

If anyone is wondering why Georgiev was in the net tonight its simple, the oilers are averaging over 4 goals a game this year, their pp is around 50 percent. It does nothing for Shesterkin to come in there and get lit up, so unfortunately for Georgiev he has to come in and take the beating.

 

[CaptTennille]

At the end of the day, reporters have to ask and the coach needs to protect his players.

Mollie didn’t have any ill intent, but Gallant is trying to get an underperforming rookie with a ton of promise going and the last thing he needs is “Rangers need more from Lafrenière” plastered on the back page of the post and adding more stress to the kids plate. Fans and media aren’t privy to the conversations behind the scenes, but you can imagine this is a difficult time for Laffy having to be reminded of his shortcomings in the press and social media constantly, so what may seem like an overreaction to us might be coming from a more personal place than we realize.

You would hope Turk and Mollie smooth it over next time they interact and he apologizes/explains where he’s coming from and why he reacted so defensively.

 

[haohmaru]

Honestly, my biggest takeaway from last night is that the sooner Hunt is out of the lineup and Reaves is back in, the better.

And, can we stop lazy stick-checking superstars, please? Part of this "get tough" movement should be checking these guys instead of getting undressed by them.

 

[Shesterkybomb]

If it was a man getting the same response there would be nothing made of it, everyone wants equality and then when they are treated the same they whine about it. I love Mollie but she shouldn't expect any different treatment than anyone else.

Barron should be with the team as well. McKegg isnt changing anything in the game.

Gallants pissed because he’s doing a shit job getting these players going. I have never hated a coach as early in their tenure as this one.

Trottier?

Its rare that you see a team be dominated in stretches of the games like the Rangers were. Oilers changing on the fly in the offensive zone two times over.

When these teams play again I dont think itll be this close.

 

[J bo Jeans]

Geo can’t let that OT goal beat him 5 hole. He’s got a penchant for it. Remember when Crosby did it in OT, and his teammate had the balls to tell him “stop the damn puck”?

Youre acting like Draisaitl fanned on the shot ans it somehow went five hole. Drai has an elite shot and release. If Geo goes down early to block five hole Drai is just gonna rip it upstairs.

I know. We're going to smoke em!

 

[duhmetreE]

Imagine having players of McDavid and Draisaitl stature on this team....

What impressed me about Edmonton, is they played with an urgency and they are always attacking. They didn't mope at 4-1. I don't think they are good enough to win in the playoffs but they are pure excitement. Who knows, maybe their offense is good enough... They can be the STL Rams... the greatest show on turf

 

[duhmetreE]

I was actually sitting there impressed with McDavid circling at the blueline.... thinking, 'damn he's agile and quick'... 'he looks faster than our team just skating in a circle'... then I was happy and sad at the same time.

Sometimes you just have to tip your hat. It's Conor McDavid. It never should have gotten to 5-4. We allowed them back into the game and he showed us why he's the greatest talent to play hockey in history. NO ONE can do what he did.

'stick check'. I dont think people realize how good McDavid is. 'Just hit him'. He's faster and more agile and does things with the puck never seen before. There's physical limitations. This isn't a video game. He's just better than you. If you attempt to initiate contact he could go right around you. There's no 'right' option. We could have grabbed him and threw him to the ice... that was always an option
