Post-Game Talk: #8 - 01/30/21 | penguins @ RANGERS

Zibanejad is the worst player on this team right now. An absolutely massive net negative. I know we have like 1 NHL center but he's been just AWFUL. I don't even know what to do about it.

First thing to do is take him off special teams

 

[Oscar Lindberg]

Also the Rangers not selling high on a handful of their guys last season/summer and it blowing up in their faces will never not make me laugh

Pens had 5 D pretty much the entire game because of an injury. Rangers trying to keep a lead in the 3rd have 5 D because the coach decides to bench one to help wear out the remaining D. I’m sure even during the dark ages the Rangers didn’t have this many 3rd period collapses in one season.

 

[17futurecap]

It’s like they aren’t playing Igor to limit his next contract as an RFA.

 

[GoAwayGiannone]

Geo should be gorilla glued and stapled to the bench for at least the next 8-10 games after this stinker, its been proven time and again he's far too inconsistent to be a starter in this league.

 

[Machinehead]

Ended up getting beat pretty bad in this one. Zibanejad was worse than he looked somehow.

Please for the love of God let Kakko play hockey.

 

[TheBloodyNine]

Think we can start to stop worrying about Mika costing 9-10 plus huh?

 

[CasusBelli]

“Look how great Mike Richter turned out to be.”

Really? He has a great run, but the guy was streaky and, for me, the most overrated goalie of the ‘90s.

 

[RGY]

Let’s just keep alternating goalies. No logic behind that. If one goalie wins, we will put in the other one next game. Georgiev is clearly not the starting goalie on this team.

I mean, yeah, what the f***ing f*** Quinn? Fire David Quinn. Over and over again. I dont care how well Georgiev played tonight (because he did indeed play well), this is Igor’s team. Stop with this rotation bullshit.

 

[CupSeeker]

Yeah it’s tough. Shesty hasn’t stepped into the role so you don’t want to just give him the job. But he has such a higher ceiling that at some point you have to let him work through it

Shesty was great last year and was very good in his last start. He should have played this game. this 3rd period was just frustrating; no effort.

 

[Tob]

Our division is WWWW OT OT OT OT right now. So we picked up a loser point but literally falling behind anyway

 

[Anzi]

Feels like DeAngelo has been on for like 70% of the teams goals against thus far

I feel like DeAngelo has been getting way too much shit. A lot of it seems to be just really bad luck as well as being forced to play with Johnson so much. Look at the difference between his GF% and his xGF%. And look where he ranks on the team vs where Johnson ranks on the team.

 

[FIRE DRURY]

Tell me again how elite Deangelo is.

Tony’s living in your head, rent free.

 

[NYR94]

Quinn needs to stop trying to make Georgiev as a 1B happen.

With Chytil hurt and Strome being Strome I'm afraid there's no limit to how bad Mika can play and still be out there in big spots.

 

[Anthony5967]

I have ZERO confidence in this quack developing Lafreniere or Kakko or dealing with the goalie situation. Georgiev is flip flopping around and the only guarantee is that he will be in after next game. Quack head coach.

 

[will1066]

Howden is an absolute waste. Does nothing well except brown nose the coach in practice.

Lol ok

 

[CasusBelli]

Pionk/McMichael>>>>>>>>>>>Trouba

They warned us. They really did warn us. Sigh.

 

[DuneGoon84]

I know I will get disappointed watching this team play yet I still look forward to the games... why the heck did I get into sports. Dman it

 

[Osminator]

Time for Bitteto and Hajek on D... whats to lose?

 

[Machinehead]

We never had lines tonight. He was juggling from the jump and never stopped juggling.

 

[NYRangers0723]

Also the Rangers not selling high on a handful of their guys last season/summer and it blowing up in their faces will never not make me laugh

Strome I certainly agree. But in fairness they had no center depth. They havent drafted a legit center prospect and can’t get on in FA

 

[CasusBelli]

If it gets to 2-8-2 Quinn has to get the hook.

Get out of here with your notion of accountability.

 

[Black Aces]

Team dropped dead about half way through the third.

A goalie rotation is not a smart plan, especially in this type of season.

Rangers need to stop being the only team in the NHL that still thinks Georgiev is going to be a starting goalie.

Serious question...how bad does it need to get before they make a coaching move? We are 2-11 in our last 13.

We are loose defensively. We cant hold a lead. Questionable personnel decisions. We should not be this bad.

 

[Baby Duck Homme]

I hate losing.

 

[WojtekWolski86]

Best way to protect your shaky D and Goaltender? Play in the other team's zone. Pitt did that the entire 3rd+
