Post-Game Talk: #3 - 1/19/21 | Devils @ Rangers

[DanielBrassard]

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.

I don't know if it's confirmation bias or because of the amount of time I watch this team compared to others but you are right, it seems like this team struggles with it moreso than any other team.

 

[EdJovanovski]

1. Fox
2. Lemieux
3. Panarin

Absolutely horrible games for Trouba & Strome. I would remove Trouba instead of Johnson for Tony next game. And swap Howden & Strome in the lineup.

 

[NYSPORTS]

Devils seemed crisp

they were tough against Boston and almost beat them both games

 

[Edge]

Survived riding the coattails of Panarin. He is a mediocre hockey player.

Here it is again...

To this point, mediocre might be kind.

 

[Oscar Lindberg]

I will say this much - I didn’t love nor hate Strome last season.

But this season he has been insanely annoying for me.

Welcome to the resistance

 

[DoingItCoolKiwi]

At least we get to see Chytil in top 6 if Mika is out. Maybe this can be the start of Strome becoming the 3C

 

[CasusBelli]

This UTI commercial needs to stop. I’ve never heard anyone thankful for a UTI.

 

[chosen]

The entire board agrees with what was wrong tonight and who deserves to play more and who isn't effective with their ice time. Not that difficult.

You're all great coaches. What else is there to say?

Think for a second.

If it's so easy to see that the coach sucks, whose fault is that? I'll give you a clue.

It's the management above him.

You're mad at the wrong guy.

 

[I Eat Crow]

Turrible.

 

[The Crypto Guy]

Lmao. Quinn gonna Quinn. Get rid of that clown already.

 

[DanielBrassard]

At this point Tony’s lost his spot on PP1 to Fox right?

Not sure how you pull Fox off that PP after the last few games

He should replace Strome.

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

I knew it. We lost because of DeAngelo tonight and this board just won’t ever admit it.

He would have helped.

Even though Fox was literally the embodiment of every ideology's God tonight, he would have been a massive asset in getting things going at ES.

 

[Edge]

Welcome to the resistance

In that same vein:

Fox is a number one defenseman who can play in every situation.

Trouba is looking more and more like a transition piece.

 

[Richard Banger]

Typical fan.

When your team wins, the goalie was great.

When the other goalie stops 47, crickets.

A lot of posters are saying Blackwood played good. Wtf are you talking about?

 

[NYSPORTS]

Lemieux’s physical play helped. Can we give Barron a chance?

 

[chosen]

Why aren't you scouting? You're the genius that would have taken Hughes 2nd overall when he was already off the board.

You're flailing, now.

I never said that, now did I?

When desperate, one must make up things, I suppose.

 

[NYRKING30]

At least we get to see Chytil in top 6 if Mika is out. Maybe this can be the start of Strome becoming the 3C

Who the f*** you kiddin? Howden becomes number 1 center in that scenario. Or Brendan Smith.

 

[Ori]

#firedavidquinn
Jack Hughes 19 years old killed this game alone if not for Quinn`s coach challenge his 3rd point 2 goals - so many of our players looks lost including Panarin.

'Alexis Lafrenière was really good, but need more ice time for sure (14:14 TOI) and be on at least on the 2nd PP unit, or even better swap him with Strome.

 

[will1066]

I think every time they've put the PP2 out there they've just coughed the puck up right away? So in a close game situation, yeah, he's gonna think he needs to quintuple shift the PP1.

They need to find a PP2 which makes sense, which for me is bringing DeAngelo back for the PP1 so you have Fox, bringing Strome onto the unit instead of Brett Howden. Weird game, weird night, weird vibes.

PP1 doesn't make sense anymore. Four RH shots with Kreider in front. It might've worked last year, but no longer. There's no threat on the right side. Fox is awesome as a puck mover but I don't think opponents respect his shot from back there. It's almost a sure bet that they're going to set up Panarin or Mika at the left circle, and there's nothing to convince the PKers to cheat a little to the right side. It's gotten too predictable.

 

[CasusBelli]

Watching these division highlights ... boy are we in for a world of hurt. Fire Quinn; draft Raty.

 

[aufheben]

Would love for the media to do their job here. Almost posted the same thing. These questions need to be asked.

It’s pretty straightforward why Georgiev played?

 

[Tob]

COuld have signed a defenseman that had a chance to be serviceable in the top 4 instead of picking up a scratched dollar store scratch off ticket off the ground at the bus stop because Jacque Martin wants to help Jack Johnson recover financially.

 

[NYSPORTS]

Tough to blame youth when 19 year old Hughes was the offensive star.

 

[Irishguy42]

Incredibly mystifying that players who aren't on the PP/PK are playing small minutes in games where there was about 14.5 minutes of non-5v5 play time...

Couldn't tell you what the reason is...shame.

Yes, Kakko/Chytil should be on the PP, but let's not play dumb with "why is their TOI so low?"

 

[Machinehead]

You're all great coaches. What else is there to say?

You know, none of us are pilots either, but there's consensus agreement that the guy flying Kobe around made a dire mistake. Sometimes you can just tell.
