Honestly we've been bad most of this season...like 9 to 3 bad almost every night... The difference being our goaltending has been miraculous and our team shooting at a very high percentage.

We are not a good team
..we haven't been a good team all season.

With that said I continue to be more or less happy with most of the kids.

Howden was so bad tonight though...I can't believe he kept seeing the ice. He needs a scratch in the worst way... Just awful awful hockey

Who didn't see this coming? Every time the Rangers have a bad game it's they're the worst team on the face of the earth.
 
One of the few times I can remember the original goalie coming back in after getting pulled.

Terrible effort + let's generously say some "questionable" officiating + plus a fired up Tampa squad = one of the worst NYR games I can remember.

Do professional athletes not get flu shots?
I'm just gonna say it now because it's kinda in context, but it seems they put Kakko on anti-acne meds more than flu prevention. His acne has been noticeably less the last couple weeks.

They definitely played like a "why play anymore" team at 5-1. A young team's mentality. And they probably felt the officiating was as unfair as we did. But they need to learn as professionals that the game continues and the opponent is not gonna let up at least until the 3rd period.
 
I had to leave the house when it was 4-0. In fact it was 1-0, then I went to take a shit just before leaving the house, and it was 4-0 just a few minutes later. I'm glad I missed the rest of the slaughter.
 
so this game should have been like 12-10 Tampa?
Honestly Vasisillyevsky didn't look amazing either. If they didn't take so many penalties it could have been a lot closer. Or, somewhat closer anyway. Also like a million of Tampa's shots were from the blueline.

Simply not true. We have had some clunkers for sure but there are more reasons than goaltending that we are 8-7-2. We have played some very good games along the way. We are 5-2-1 against good competition without possibly our most important player in Zibs. Games against Buffalo, Nashville, the first game against Tampa, and Pitt come to mind. This is was a disaster of a game but there were plenty of good games too so lets keep it in perspective.

They have the worst xgf% in the entire nhl for a reason.

They are 5 points out from being the worst team in the NHL despite having some truly remarkable goaltending...

This isn't a reaction to this game. This is what we are.

Or maybe when they took advantage of some tap-ins.

I mean they got off to a rough start. It's still not a good team though, nor should it be. There are teams with way more talent doing about as poorly.

I'm reacting to this team being 9-3 bad most games, not being bad per se.

Yes more reasons than goaltending..they're 6th in the league in shooting percentage .. almost 1 out of 10 shots on net are going in... That's not going to keep happening.
