Post-Game Talk: #4 - 10/17/19 | RANGERS @ devils

[Black Aces]

I'll be honest, I thought it'd take longer than Game 4 of Year 2 for a lot of folks here to be blaming Quinn.

Hard to defend his personnel decisions and usage. Smith at F down late?

 

[Jauffre]

Haley, Howden, McKegg, Smith for me. All of them dressed in the proper attire for the game, very happy with that.

 

[Tob]

Trouba shouldn't be playing 30 minutes a night in all situations. You have offensively talented guys in Tony D and Adam Fox whose been as smooth as hand squeezed peanut butter. Buchnevich hasn't improved at all. Why is he playing 20 minutes a night on the top line and the PP1 after punishing him last year? He clearly signed up to sell Quinn's herbal supplements to help him break into the Russian market. Kakko is being misused by the coach which is the most annoying thing we can possibly deal with after tanking last year and getting a real talent. No wonder why Quinn couldn't win anything at the college level.

 

[Kaapo Cabana]

Half of our bottom 6 was McKegg, Haley and defenseman.

I can’t believe that didn’t work out for us

 

[Dr. Ogrodnick]

Not surprising given the terrible schedule. I expect a better effort tomorrow, though quite possibly a similar result.

 

[EpicDing]

We know bad hockey when we see it.

Sure, but everyone calling for Quinn's head after 4 games is a little much.

 

[ijuka]

Kreider looks mentally done as a Ranger.

Sure but you'd imagine he'd be trying to earn a nice contract. He's playing his way into league minimum at this rate.

 

[EdJovanovski]

1. DeAngelo
2. Kakko
3. Fox

Trouba was absolutely awful

 

[Tob]

11.6 million dollar man with a big fat goose egg tonight.

This is going to be so f***ing annoying by game.....5.

 

[Sayba]

I've never been happy with the Lias Andersson pick but have to admit he looks to have some jump in his legs we never saw before. It's time to give him a chance.

 

[will1066]

Burn the tape

 

[ReggieDunlop68]

Alright I have to say it: McKenzie Blackwood sounds like a porn star name.

Dude yes!

 

[chosen]

1. Rangers played as if Lundqvist was in net.
2. Either the role is wrong for him or Buchnevich will always be a passenger.
3. Kreider is not playing like a professional is supposed to.

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

At least Hughes still looked pretty shitty. Force fed top line and PP1 minutes and didn't do much, fumbling pucks, and his first NHL point was a deflection that took another deflection off of Wood's ass. At least Kakko had some nice moves, wish he could get some PP1 time or top line.

 

[FoxyClean]

If Buchnevich is still on the first line and PP1 tomorrow, Quinn has lost me.

 

[Glen Sathers Cigar]

The Rangers played like absolute trash tonight in all aspects of the game. Power Play especially, the Devils' PK has looked like a JV team in every game this season and the Rangers go 0-6, that can't happen.


Still, no excuse for having Smith out as a forward with Georgiev pulled. I don't care if no other forwards are playing well, there is no excuse for him to be out there.

 

[IronBloodedLion]

When the first line isn’t doing anything they’re just so awful. Can anyone maintain possession?

 

[EdJovanovski]

I've never been happy with the Lias Andersson pick but have to admit he looks to have some jump in his legs we never saw before. It's time to give him a chance.

HM Andersson 4th star
I’d try him on the 2nd line

 

[Kaapo Cabana]

Kakko looks like he is getting his sea legs. Still looks like he is trying to do too much at times though.

 

[Crease]

At this rate Smith will be 2C next.

 

[Anzi]

We've been playing like shit even in the games that we won. It was bound for it to bounce the other way eventually. We might legitimately be the worst team in the NHL right now despite what the record says. Heading into this game we had a league worst 39.26% xG% at even strength. The power play goals we got masked the issues with our team. Now our power play looks like shit too.

 

[itsPLkielbasa]

Biggest takes from the the game?

Kakko being misused.

Not having a 2C.

But hey... we had good looks?

 

[Tob]

Gonna shit in my sink.

 

[TheBloodyNine]

This is going to be so ****ing annoying by game.....5.

Too bad. He’s one of the highest paid forwards in the league. If he’s not making things happen then it’s gonna be talked about.

 

[ReggieDunlop68]

Kreider looks mentally done as a Ranger.

Yeah he used to be invisible on off games, yet now he’s visibly shitty in all games.
