Post-Game Talk: #24 - 11/24/18 | capitals @ RANGERS | 2:00 - MSG, NHLN

In my mind, two self inflicted losses back to back.

It's almost as if they're missing two top-6 wingers.

 

[PuckLuck3043]

Let the hyperbole begin. They didn't play poorly at all. Washington is good and they are hot. Much better effort and play than yesterday. I still like this team a lot. ADA needs to play though.

 

[Machinehead]

That’s enough, Shattenkirk.

Staal on the ice for 92 goals against a period.

Blame Shattenkirk.

Repeat.

 

[effen]

Can he develop hands first plz

That's no way to talk about St. Filip.

 

[Embryo]

Hopefully Chytil develops the clutch gene because right now he doesn't have it.

You're born with your genes, you don't "develop" new genes you dummy.

 

[RGY]

Put Kreider back with Zib. Zib-Kreider and Hayes-Chytil thats your scoring threats

Maybe not poorly but certainly not as good as they could. D zone exits seemed lackluster to bad. But I will have to see about that beyond eye tests

 

[Machinehead]

It wasn't as bad as yesterday, but let's not tell ourselves we were the better team today.

 

[PuckLuck3043]

Well we lost to the Champs with our backup goalie in net, after Thanksgiving and after playing yesterday..not trying to make excuses but we really only lost by 1 goal, (empty netter) and played toe to toe with the Champs and Ovi. There are positives to take away from this game. It just sucks that we didn't get ANY points this weekend in 2 games, I hope that doesn't come back to haunt us..

What you say is completely true but unfortunately half this board didn't see the game that you and I saw.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

You're born with your genes, you don't "develop" new genes you dummy.

I understand you dummy, it was just figure of speech. I knew someone would say that. There's also no such thing as a clutch gene, you want to complain about that too?

 

[SnowblindNYR]

Can he develop hands first plz

His hands are fine. I bet scores that goal in the first period.

 

[Rempe73]

ADA impacts the game. Makes one mistake while also ringing the post and then gets scratched. Just why? Bench Claesson he was an abomination today.

Thank you. You summed up what I was trying to say all day in a few words.

 

[Tob]

It's almost as if they're missing two top-6 wingers.

and our top pairing D man.

 

[RGY]

Georgiev has to stop that one time from the top of the circle. The pass was really the only play Carlson had. Staal with too much of a gap between him and Connelly

 

[Hi ImHFNYR]

You're born with your genes, you don't "develop" new genes you dummy.

Are you kidding around? This seems to be way over the line hostility

 

[Embryo]

Oh I know, I've been around here for years despite my join date being 2017 on this account (i got banned a few times) and I am well aware of how toxic this environment can get with the negativity and cynicism, it's unbearable sometimes. There are some real whiners on these boards.

 

[PuckLuck3043]

They other team sometimes has something to say about that. They played a better team and lost a close game. Sucks but thats the way it is.

 

[EEDAWGZ]

Hopefully Chytil develops the clutch gene because right now he doesn't have it.

Which Is why we need a good draft , instead of a first round playoff exit

 

[chosen]

100% agree that Zibanejad is getting royally screwed being sattled with those 4th line plugs.

Howden makes those around him better. Zib, not so much.

 

[chosen]

We outplayed them and lost after getting like 7 wins of getting outplayed and winning anyway.

These things tend to even out over the season. Everyone mostly played ok too outside of prob Georg.. Get em next game.

Outplayed them?

Really?

 

[bobbop]

Namestnikov and Claesson candidates for the Quinn bin.

 

[Embryo]

I understand you dummy, it was just figure of speech. I knew someone would say that. There's also no such thing as a clutch gene, you want to complain about that too?

lol I was just breakin ya ballzzzzzz

 

[Rempe73]

I’m sick of Staal and Shattenkirk

 

[Mike in Houston]

Tough loss. Moving on to Ottawa Monday night. LGR!

 

[Webster]

Zucc was our worst player tonight, practically invisible

He is obviously not the problem...
