whats with the teams puck handling?

we rarely pass tape2tape... IF and when we rarely do, we fumble the puck and lose control, killing the play.

I really do not know what we practice.

They are still getting their timing back. Its only game 3 after a 6 months off and no preseason games.
 
Anyone notice the Rangers were offside on that Chytil goal? Lucky the Devils didn’t challenge that one.

Anyway, best Ranger tonight by far was Fox. Every one else seemed tentative and slightly off their game. Play the kids more, let them learn as they play. And please take Strome off that 1st PP and demote him to the 3rd or 4th line.
 
I love that Panarin and Zibanejad are stars here but I do not need to see them carry us every night. Quinn, we want to see Kakko and Lafreniere develop. If he can’t turn them into stars then I give f*** all about your 8th seed playoff births, you can shove them up your a**, they are meaningless to us.

Priority number 1, 2 and 3: GET KAKKO AND LAFRENIERE GOING
 
What’s the reasoning behind benching Lafreniere in the third? Just because he’s young? Bc his okay didn’t warrant it.

f***ing Strome.
Like I said in the GDT, when you're playing vets to the point where they get hurt, it's a statement of refusal that you won't play young players. AV-level petulance.

He was supposed to be a development coach!!

I get the connection; college, young guys. But in reality the culture in college hockey is that you spam your seniors and the new guys shovel shit until they have enough credits to be in your lineup. Sound familiar?
 
Really wasn’t a bad game. Goaltending was the difference in this one, a couple of bad goals from George. Quinn, most likely goes to Igor next game. The PP is very good until Strome gets involved. Would move Kakko or Buch up there in replace of Strome.

Fox now with 3 points in the last 3 games, playing great defense, he is continuing his great play from his rookie season, really good sign.

I thought Kakko was good, not sure why he was demoted or benched. Quinn needs to give these kids longer leashes. Only way they are going to learn, and play through their mistakes.

Anyway onto the next one.
 
Going with Geo in this one was fine.

He reminded everyone why he is a backup.
Yes for the latter. He's a fine backup. You don't play your backup two games in a row especially this season where every game means so much more than usual (short season/division opponents) unless we are playing the Islanders I guess.

Me. I thought for sure the Devils would challenge and it would be waved off. I thought Buch was offsides.
 
The good thing I got going for me is if the Rangers screw up this rebuild, I know where it all went wrong and why Gorton deserves to be canned.
