Post-Game Talk: #24 - 03/09/21 | Rangers @ Penguins | 6:00 PM - NBCSN, MSG

[MetalJaws]

See how they made little passes on the tape. Always moving finding open ice! That's offense! Not standing still on the perimeter. Terrible.

 

[Vitto79]

Played better second half of that period then a horrible last minute goal. Malkin and Kapanen danced on them

 

[TheGortonConspiracy]

We need new coaching staff, our game is too slow, the PP1 averaged like 1:45 up until a few games ago, they all just stand around and wait for things to happen. Everyone is too pretty to grind

 

[ColonialsHockey10]

Blessed to have this over by 8:30 though

Cheers to that!

 

[Oscar Lindberg]

havent heard smith's name in a real long time and I dont think I heard lemieux's at all

Probably because Lemieux isn’t playing lol

 

[AWall THE CLAW]

I'm gonna play Switch. Screw this.

 

[mike14]

havent heard smith's name in a real long time and I dont think I heard lemieux's at all

Lemieux is a healthy scratch

 

[LeetchisGod]

Must be nice to be a pens fan.

It can be argued that they've had the most luck of any NHL franchise.

 

[Kovalev27]

Not one guy got in front of a penguin on that entire shift including fox who got clowned

 

[Machinehead]

Kapanen owns the Ranger top shelf.

This team in not fun to watch. At all.

I don't know what I expected, but this team just chases the game.

I expected them to be bad but fun and lose 6-4 a lot. Offense completely went to hell. No system at all. AV without the fastbreaks.

The game they play is nothing like the on we play. Night and day.

We need Center help so bad. And our winger depth ain’t going to be what people think it is.

 

[will1066]

Major major changes are needed

Or maybe stick with it until they're actually men

 

[Oscar Lindberg]

Outside of that devil game our offense has been terrible recently.

They beat up on the bad teams and crap the bed against the good teams

 

[Rempe73]

I’ve watched this team for 50 years....I’ve tried at least a thousand different sitting positions and rooms to watch them in....I’ve done my part. I’m now convinced that Buch takes us on his back. I’m never charging my phone greater than 89% ever again!!

Lmao damn that is a long time, old man.

I’m charging my phone right now and I’ll wait until I’m at 89%. We’ll do it together. What did you do in 1994 when smartphones didn’t exist yet?

 

[Kane One]

Probably because Lemieux isn’t playing lol

That’s no excuse

 

[DanielBrassard]

Cant wait for the “that was a good period” posts because we didn’t get literally dominated like the first. Hurray for us!

It was a really good first half of the period. 2nd half fell apart unfortunately.

 

[will1066]

See how they made little passes on the tape. Always moving finding open ice! That's offense! Not standing still on the perimeter. Terrible.

Been saying the whole game, they've been moving tape to tape in full stride. They just know where each other is

 

[LOFIN]

The amount of difference with the offensive structure of these teams is just mind-boggling. That's what coaching does.

 

[EdJovanovski]

Good:
JMFJ
Gauthier
Kakko
Laf

Bad:
Mika
Trouba
Miller

 

[FireGerardGallant]

They beat up on the bad teams and crap the bed against the good teams

Don’t even beat up on the bad teams as we should. Sabres almost beat us when we last played them

 

[DialUp]

Just a few more years of this folks, just a few more. By the end of 2021-2022, they will go on a 4 or 5 game winning streak, putting them about 3 points out of playoff position, fighting for it. Then 2022-2023 they will sneak into the 7th or 8th seed. Just gotta wait.

 

[Kovalev27]

We clearly are what we are. The 6th or 7th best team in the division

 

[Tob]

Had 0 expectations going into this game that we'd be able to look like an NHL team against the Pens and Sully.

 

[OrangePMD]

It can be argued that they've had the most luck of any NHL franchise.

At this moment I'm more jealous that they have a team that can make plays like that previous goal.

 

[Anthony5967]

We suck. End of story. They still have a ways to go as a team and organization. I’m so disgusted. Powerplay has been abysmal, Miller’s effort is extremely concerning because it’s a recurring issue now, they never can penetrate and play down the middle in the o-zone against teams that clamp them. These drag races don’t happen in the playoffs. Learn to play dirty hockey or you can forget it. And it would be nice to at least know when Panarin is coming back.
