Post-Game Talk: #6 - 01/26/21 | RANGERS @ sabres

[Shesterkybomb]

Next game just do this.

Panarin Mika Buch
Kreider Strome Kakko
Lafreniere Howden PDG
Lemieux Blackwell Rooney

 

[SRHRangers]

If we can come out of this draft with Matty Beniers that would be a huge win.

Preaching to the choir.

He would be the best skater on the roster right now lol

 

[Glen Sathers Cigar]

Pathetic:

 

[Baby Punisher]

When was the last time this team was good at faceoffs? Chris Drury? MacTavish/Messier?

Bryan Skudlund and Eastwood.

 

[Unpredictable1]

Too many guys playing like they're afraid to make a mistake. That's on the coaching.

This right here sums it all up.

I'm watching a team that has the reins pulled back and afraid that if they try something and there's a turnover - they'll see even less minutes. But then force feeding more Strome and Johnson.

 

[SA16]

Since everyone is going to inevitably complain about faces here's your reminder that they do not matter shown over the last five years.

 

[I Eat Crow]

Would love to see a Torts presser after this performance. Damn I would have been preparing the popcorn after the second intermission!

Seeing this team play the way they are is making me pine for a second tenure here.

 

[CasusBelli]

Didn't watch, did they suck that bad?

THAT MILLER GOAL HOLYYYYYY SHITTT

Nah. It was worse.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

If a team gets demoralized when they have their game tied after a 1 goal lead in the 2nd period, that's on the coach. Or the players should traded. That's pathetic.

 

[DialUp]

I knew the team would struggle and I knew this board would be a tough read but man, you guys are really raising the bar when it comes to shit/doom posting. Holy shit.

Rangers have 3 players with a combined $26 mill a year cap hit on long term deals. Big time dooming.

 

[duhmetreE]

once again.

No leadership.
No coaching.

 

[CasusBelli]

Seeing this team play the way they are is making me pine for a second tenure here.

Imagine Torts as HC with Martin doing the technical coaching. That’s sexy.

 

[danman1202]

Gerard Gallant, hopefully

Goofus = Quinn
Gallant = well you get the picture

 

[Shesterkybomb]

Imagine Torts as HC with Martin doing the technical coaching. That’s sexy.

F Torts

 

[Daves a mess]

Torts is too mean! The players HATE him! He has no strategic philosophy! He just has stars block shots! Wah! AND HE PLAYS STU BICKEL! WORST COACH EVERRRRR! HE SUCKS! FIRE TORTS!

Vignaults gum chewing drives me crazy! I wanna punch his face! He has no breakout system. He gets outcoached in every playoff season! We NEED a coach who isn't and "old school retread"! And. He plays TANNER GLASS! HE SUCKS! FIRE VIGNAULT!

Quinn is moron! He lost the room! He won't keep a line intact! He benches one player for one thing and let's it go for another! "Our faceoffs aren't that bad lol!" HE SUCKS!


FIRE QUINN!

I go back to Renney on here but I'm too tired.

Night all.

 

[DialUp]

Now Quinn is trending on Twitter. lol

 

[Richard Banger]

Yes because Jesper fast is the answer to all these problems. Get a f***ing grip lmao.

 

[Edge]

once again.

No leadership.
No coaching.

Leadership is a big issue. And don’t anyone forget this when it once again comes out that the Rangers really aren’t interested in assigning a C to one of these guys.

 

[Synergy27]

I'm sure I will get heat for this but hard not to be disappointed with Lafreniere and to a lesser extent Kakko so far.

I get that it's a big adjustment...and our/my expectations may have been too high...and that it's been a weird 10 months of hockey w the pandemic.

But while Kakko to his credit looks much improved, in 6 games neither has shown even a glimmer of being a potential franchise player. Kids have struggles, I am not expecting finished products, but I am talking about real flashes the way a player like Miller has provided flashes.

I am hoping beyond all hope that there are better days to come...it is going to require more patience than I expected.

I’ve been beating this drum for awhile now and most seem to disagree, if not give me heat. You really do want to at least see the occasional play that makes you go “ah, there’s the best player in his age group “.

All I’ve seen from Kakko so far are flashes of a competent player. A middle six forward.

Laf is getting worse with each game. I’m not sweating him yet though.

 

[LiveLongandProspal]

Now Quinn is trending on Twitter. lol

Jack Johnson trends on Twitter every time he suits up for the Rangers. No lie.

 

[PuckLuck3043]

Quinn could start getting the team on the right track by not playing JJ. How about that tough guy?

 

[I Eat Crow]

There’s no point singling out individual players. It’s everyone. Even shesterkin is dejected.

You point to the coach. Period. Lafreniere should not look like this. No f***ing way.

there’s no direction and that’s clear as day

Quinn would ruin 19 year old Crosby and McDavid.

 

[LOFIN]

The big problem is this team/coach is trying to do two things at the same time. You can't "develop kids" and try to make the playoffs at the same time. At this time, playoffs should not be the #1 priority, and if Quinn thinks it is, this is what you get.

 

[Kovalev27]

Well, there’s too many jumpers to talk off the ledge. It’s also hard when it feels like someone was watching a different game for certain players. Like how do you bridge that gap?

That said, this was the worst game since the opener. Personally I think the young talent is progressing. It’s the veteran talent that looks adrift.

how are you pleased with where kakko and lafreniere are at coming into this league? This isn’t ok man. Lafreniere I watched him absolutely destroy junior hockey. Light years ahead of other prospects and he looks like a lost puppy. No fire certainly not assertive I don’t know how you can say that.

kakko actually does look better and Quinn won’t give him any meaningful mins. So how long is that effort going to continue? He hardly ever has the puck

to say these kids are developing nicely leaves me shaking my head

and YES that’s on top of the veterans being dog shit as well as our goalie who I watched never lose a game in like 5 years. All of a sudden his confidence is shot.

so you change the coach before you lose anyone else.

 

[will1066]

This right here sums it all up.

I'm watching a team that has the reins pulled back and afraid that if they try something and there's a turnover - they'll see even less minutes. But then force feeding more Strome and Johnson.

I think it's the opposite. They've been given too much free reign. They're trying to be too creative, too cute.
