Well the david quinn thread tells me its not his fault and its just coincidence that the teams 6 best players and 4-5 others are underachieving. As are the PP and PK.

Just bad luck for Quinn. Not his fault.

As the kids would say these days ... “obvi”.

 

[aufheben]

I'm thinking moreso at the level of who gets dressed. Aside from signing Johnson, I have no complaints about our drafting or free agents in quite some time.

Kind of a forest/trees thing for me.

 

[Oscar Lindberg]

Johnson is 2nd in even strength TOI in this game

He was signed to play so this shouldn’t be surprising to literally anyone

 

[Betelgeuse]

These guys lost their swagger or something. Last season you had this belief every game they would dictate play and keep pushing the pace. They just seem to be scrambling now.

 

[Dr. Ogrodnick]

Can GM's bench a coach for a game or two to send a message? Serious question, has that happened?

I mean, I suppose you could. But at that point you should just fire him.

 

[KevinFinnerty]

Do we have a shot this period? What kind of nursing home on ice is this?

 

[effen]

Gap between D and forwards is big enough to fit a f***ing yacht through. Jesus.

 

[DudMan28]

Laf looks completely lost

He seems to give up on plays rather easily. Doesn’t want to skate and fight through checks.

 

[LokiDog]

I wonder if it’s possible they’ve actually quit on Quinn? Everything I’ve ever seen seems like he’s affable and they like him, but this team has barely managed 20 good minutes per game for him over their last 9 games.

 

[Raspewtin]

this is our worst period of the season.

 

[TheBloodyNine]

We need them to continue to lose. That way we can get a real coach in here ASAP and our two prized players don’t become roadkill like Quinn wants them to be.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

Stop it. Their team defense is not fine. They constantly collapse and miss assignments. Constantly.

The two games against the Pens they gave up 2 goals that were on the defense and 19 shots in the last period. This is a stupid take.

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

Not only do we suck but we’re abysmal to watch, all our games are so boring

 

[NYRangers0723]

A big issue is our Center Position. Mika is clearly not healthy at all, Strome is useless, Chytil is hurt, and Howden is well...Howden

 

[HatTrick Swayze]

What the hell is going on. The forwards look collectively terrible.

 

[RGY]

Team cant win faceoffs. Their PKers are constantly getting turned and are chasing. But yet we dont want to try Brian Boyle on the cheap? No? The experienced veteran center. For PK and defensive zone faceoffs? Nah its better to continue to lose every faceoff and get pinned.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

Gorton just had to be the smartest guy in the room by hiring Quinn, just HAD to be.

 

[Tob]

We need them to continue to lose. That way we can get a real coach in here ASAP and our two prized players don’t become roadkill like Quinn wants them to be.

this is basically where i'm at.

 

[ElLeetch]

With Quinn in the cockpit. He's clearly not the guy. Enough already.

Too bad the caps snagged Lavvy.

Mid-Covid, how do you bring in a new coach? Isn't there a two-week cool down?

 

[BroadwayStorm]

Lindy Ruff?

No Gallant

 

[The Crypto Guy]

Team cant win faceoffs. Their PKers are constantly getting turned and are chasing. But yet we dont want to try Brian Boyle on the cheap? No? The experienced veteran center. For PK and defensive zone faceoffs? Nah its better to continue to lose every faceoff and get pinned.

Dont worry, i’m sure Quinn will have Johnson taking the faceoffs next period.

 

[DanielBrassard]

this is our worst period of the season.

How is it that they have been even worse than the 1st period

 

[CasusBelli]

Laf looks completely lost

More Yakupov than Crosby. #unjinx

 

[The New Russian Five]

This team just looks dejected. I don't blame them. Anything good that they do gets instantly negated by a handful of specific players who are for some reason keep getting ice time.

 

[MysticLeviathan]

The issue is the lack of support. you’ll get one forward who actually gives a f***, but no one is there to support him so the play dies quickly.
