Post-Game Talk: #20 - 11/17/18 | panthers @ RANGERS | 7:00 - MSG [PGT starts page 33]

[Fitzy]

Quinn went to the Torts school of benching players.

 

[Ori]

Staal has been a Ranger for 12 seasons, the average age of this team is like 16 years old, no coach is going to scratch him.

Yes and M. Staal has been ok recently - he is not been the issue of late.

 

[Oscar Lindberg]

Ryan McDonagh was ‘injured’ right up until he got traded.

He was actually injured

It came out recently he was recovering the broken hand and played through a sports hernia most of last season

 

[Kovalev27]

Staal hasn’t made mental mistakes or mistakes from lack of effort or carelessness . That’s why he’s not being benched.

He’s made mistakes but not for the reasons Quinn benches guys.

 

[Kakko]

From what we've seen, Quinn holds guys accountable. Play bad, sit, and come back better. That's not really special, just common sense. AV was the special one when it came to scratching guys.

As for Lias, I think they want him to fight for a place, and then move him up. Essentially what Chytil did. But that's pure speculation.

 

[Nickmo82]

This coach needs to play one 2017 first round pick on the 4th line

The way I see it, he's a college coach. Having to play games with McLeod and Lettieri are clear examples of rookie hazing.

Cody McLeod can't do anything but play bad and he is in the lineup an awful lot.

Ditto Marc Staal.

It's the same issue AV had - selective accountability.

 

[will1066]

Guess that injury still plagues Zucc, too bad. Was hoping Skjei would cement himself as our top D this season, not slip in and out of form.

Ofc Strome is going to have a 1G 1A night

A wake up call for Skjei. Maybe a Zucc trade is imminent

The best explanation

 

[PlamsUnlimited]

Unsure of the the outcome of this game.

 

[Filthy Dangles]

I think it's playing bad relative to that player's talent and normal performance.

You know what you're getting with McLeod....and I guess you know what you'll get with Staal

 

[Jaromir Jagr]

I think Quinn benches guys because he thinks they can be better. Staal and Mcleod are giving 110%, they just suck. What will benching them do? It can't inspire them to play better. They shouldn't be on the team, but that's a different story.

So basically, I can understand the benchings, what I can't understand is why guys in the A like Beleskey, Nieves, etc. aren't taking the spot of Letteri and Mcleod at this point. It's befuddling.

You said AV and special in the same sentence

It can give better players a chance to play.

Staal's only positive is that he helps them lose.

 

[FireGerardGallant]

Fast on the first line?

 

[Larrybiv]

Panthers have been going pretty well lately.

The ass kicking that has eluded this team may finally happen.

The 2 teams that I believe to be the strongest and score a majority of goals in front of the net are the Panthers and the Jackets. Not sure what stats are out there, but just what I see.
And after what happened 2 nights ago, well.....hoping their "practice" works wonders, otherwise......what you say should be correct.

With that said......we rebound and win 5-4 in O.T. This Cats team is destined for the PO's this year......unless Luongo gets injured again.

Hayes, Pionk, Kreider again.......Shatty and okay Strome.

No gonna change it.....Chytil and Howden , scratch Strome and Shatty.

 

[nevesis]

Win this in regulation. Let’s f***ing go.

 

[NYR]

I'm liking this Strome trade.
If anything, Spooner just wasn't a fit for this team and while Strome may not ever live up to his high draft position, he does have a much more well rounded game.

Good trade

 

[Filthy Dangles]

dat speed by Chytil. damn!

 

[EpicDing]

Love to see Chytil doing that.

 

[Ghost of jas]

Yeah, Chytil coming in strong on the off wing...looks real comfortable there.

 

[will1066]

Please Chytil, don't hurt 'em

 

[Ghost of jas]

Poor Zibby.

 

[will1066]

I just think names and zbad work well together

 

[Jaromir Jagr]

It can give better players a chance to play.

I agree. But it's pretty obvious why guys get benched, that's what I was getting at.
