Thank God Miller is playing well or id think everyone we pick is a bust.

Nah, Lias scored his first tonight...

 

[Killem Dafoe]

Was on a first date. Came home alone and watched the last five minutes of this shitfest.

killer night.

I hope the date went well because I stayed home and watched this game and got f***ed.

 

[LeetchisGod]

This team has a lot of problems. Coaching being the main one. However, Covid has disrupted the routines of athletes in all sports leading to a lot of underachieving.

 

[RangersFan1994]

Miller, Blackwell and DiGiuseppe

 

[CasusBelli]

Really Vally? One bad goal? I counted two.

Well at least the Rangers f***ed you.

 

[Cmox]

I'm a big fan of Igor but he can go f*** himself after that performance. Seriously go take a f***ing stick and jam it up your pathetic ass.

That last goal was text book pee wee hockey no no from a goalie. He put his stick in a perfect position for a goal. That is a play that a coach would behead you for. When you watch the replay look at his stick. He gave the puck a ramp into the net. It’s seriously the 101 lessons of being a goalie.

Coming soon to Quinn apologists near you: It's only 6 games!

Totally Quinn's fault Igor gives up 2 stinkers and Mika, Kreider, Strome, Panarin have taken turns wearing invisibility cloaks. Our best players were a kid with a couple of NHL games under his belt, Fox, and career AHLers playing their tails off.

 

[Oscar Lindberg]

Life after Lundqvist not as hunky dory as everyone thought it would be.

Well you know the age old phrase “if you have 2 goalies, you got none”

(I think Igor is our guy he’s just been rusty)

 

[Shesterkybomb]

This team won't go anywhere until Mika, Kreider, Strome and Panarin get it together.

 

[Anthony5967]

It’s really sad how fortunate they’ve been with lottery luck, stockpiling picks, lucky enough that Fox chose us, Panarin, too, but man, it doesn’t even seem to matter. when it comes to coaching, it’s the same mistakes constantly. I’m so sick of the head coach. I’m finished with this guy. He’s so veteran dependent. He’s done nothing to put KAKKO or lafreniere in good positions to succeed, he’s riding the veterans hard. Kreider and Z are killing them. The coach, though, is by far the biggest issue. Fire this clown.

 

[TheBloodyNine]

With every game being a 4 point game this season, you can officially start cancelling the Rangers if they don't start reeling off multiple wins in a row. Short season + All 4 point games means a slow start is a playoff death sentence.

 

[Glen Sathers Cigar]

Mika looks horrible. Idk if it’s the covid, it probably is. But he also looks like a guy who was reading his press clippings all summer.

Lafreniere and Miller were two bright spots. Lafreniere is being held back by line mates. How about that PP with 6 mins left. Multiple nice passes and a fanned shot by Trouba and another by Howden. Howden also scrambling all over the place.

With no Chytil and Mika playing like a 2013 version himself, what kind of center play do we even have? Howden is useless and Strome is invisible.

It's his team. All of it is his fault.

 

[HockeyBasedNYC]

Problem when Miller Fox and Blackwell are your top 3 stars.

Rangers played well enough to get 4 points this trip and there are a lot of good things to take from this including an overall decent defensive structure.

Shesterkin.... what’s up buddy?

Need more from the guys getting paid too.

Tough one. Onto Buffalo

 

[Kovalev27]

I'm a big fan of Igor but he can go f*** himself after that performance. Seriously go take a f***ing stick and jam it up your pathetic ass.

that’s literally where his stick blade ended up

 

[Bob Richards]

Penguins with 4 shots in the 3rd period lol

P A I N

 

[CasusBelli]

I can't fathom how far your head needs to be up your ass to give up those 2 goals. Embarrassing, singlehandedly lost the game for us.

Normally I would say, if you don’t score at least three goals, you can’t expect to win — but the two weak goals Shesty let in were embarrassingly weak. Just wow. Biron, today, would have saved them.

 

[Kords]

We played a great game. We are 1 center and about a full season of chemestry/experience away from being legit. Sucks we didn't get the win, but everything is moving apace.

Miller and Fox are fun to watch, we are lucky to have them.

 

[Osminator]

Coming soon to Quinn apologists near you: It's only 6 games!

This year, 6 games is a touch over 10% of the 56 game season...

 

[Raspewtin]

some of you have a barbaric obsession with getting Quinn fired ngl

Quinn can’t do anything about Igor being an AHL goalie and entire top 6 being useless, especially with a hurt Chytil.

 

[howztheglass]

Can’t fire Quinn when the team is playing well but not winning.

We’re so close but just not there—something is missing with the team.

Some players like Zib, Breadman,CK and such need to pick it up and put the biscuit in the net.

 

[Siddi]

Life after Lundqvist not as hunky dory as everyone thought it would be.

Anointing Igor as the new goalie jesus after a 14 game sample size is one of the most stupid things this board has done.

 

[Black Aces]

Only positive I take is Miller.

We have no structure. We have no idea how to play vs a structured team. We make stupid decisions with the puck. We lose control of it often. We cant make crips passes. We cant handle passes. We pass up clear shots. We dont drive to the net. We dont get to the middle of the ice. We dont finish checks. We dump the puck in and dont make a legitimate effort to get it. We glide around the ice. I have seen numerous occasions where we stare at a loose puck rather than go get it. Also have seen two players literally look at each other to see who will go get the puck. We are a step late all the time. We dont play with any speed.

This coach needs to go. I dont care if its early.

 

[Machinehead]

A lot of the top guys in the league are bad right now. No camp has been a major issue.

I literally don't care about goaltending.

Kakko, Chytil, Fox, and Miller are looking great.

We've been the better team in 4 out of 5 games.

Trouba looks better.

Like I said, Lafreniere wasn't 0-0-0, I'd be A+ right now.
