I feel so bad for the people who work at Madison Square Garden mopping the floors or serving the chicken fingers or taking the tickets, etc. Could you imagine if they did their jobs this way? They'd be out on the street.

Working in the real world for 50+ hours a week has made watching this team even more frustrating. I've watched mouth breathing dumbasses like Hayes and Kreider takes nights off regularly for years.

I wish I could get away with that.

Then Ruff for now and somebody new in the summer, but right now we have two choices.

Fine. I can't say I don't agree. I just think any option is actually terrible right now.

 

[Holocene]

I really don't understand why Buch is on the 4th line.

 

[bl02]

at least its fun watching TD skate around and make some plays.

 

[aufheben]

Team was less ****ty.

Meh Erik Karlsson is only a minor upgrade over Holden. No excuses.

 

[Ratelleitlikeitis]

RIP Gord Downie. Great Canadian

 

[Mac n Gs]

They’ve had some really good offensive shifts these past five to ten minutes. The defense has been garbage.

Basically sums up this entire season.

Would a coach who gives a slight f*** about team analytics be so much to ask?

 

[Holocene]

Is Joe drunk? lmao I wouldn't blame him

 

[Whoot Whoot]

I missed the first period were the goals garbage Hank or garbage Team?

 

[Siddi]

Sure the 3rd goal was ugly but in all honestly Hank is still keeping them in it, made some great saves. It doesn't help tho that Halak is standing on his head.

AV - Oh wait..You saying I'm done messing shit up here??
Ruff - GTFO

It's a generational shift. Coaching across the league is really not anywhere near what it used to be or could be.

3rd one was all on Hank. The other 2 was rongos being rongos.

Yes. This organization is an old boys club

Though Gusta has it right. It is definitely not a golden age for coaching, and there is not a glut of ones that adjust well or that aren't retreads

Totally agreed, but it could be better than this.

29 coaches play zone. AV knows better.

 

[mike14]

Halak's been good

 

[Vinny DeAngelo]

Rongos luck

 

[RangerLifer]

Good PP set up there.

 

[ItWasJustified]

How on earth did Sweden win the IIHF World Championship with Hank?

Oscar Lindberg

 

[Irishguy42]

Halak's been good

Pretty much every time it's Hank vs Halak, you can safely bet on Halak.

 

[Machinehead]

Everyone's been talking about how loud Yankee Stadium has been and every playoffs we discuss why the Garden is quiet.

People like to make financial excuses but you wanna know the real reason why?

Because the Yankees are the absolute class of professional sports and the Rangers are the class clown. That's f***ing why.

 

[RangerLifer]

He said Allan Ladd.

 

[Megustaelhockey]

Totally agreed, but it could be better than this.

Who else doesn't? 29+1=30<31

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

Laviolette and Weight is the answer to the trivia question.
