Post-Game Talk: #8 - 10/21/18 | flames @ RANGERS | 7:00 - MSG

This is your 2018-19 Rangers. They are going to be a bottom three team. People need to embrace this concept.

I thought they really put something into this game too. Their lineup just sucks. C'est la vie.

 

[Nopuckluck]

you ***** when there's no physicality, you ***** when skjei thugs a dude.

The guy actually pulled up. All Skjei did was give up a breakaway. Cmon!

 

[Nopuckluck]

Team played pretty well overall, but they couldn't capitalize on their chances. The Flames were able to cash in on the Rangers mistakes.

This just isn't a very talented team. Our best forwards are 2nd liners on good teams and our best defensemen are 2nd pairing guys on good teams.

Amen. Perfectly said

 

[mrmovies779]

It's not that concept I have trouble with.

It's the concept that the same front office who took them to bottom 3 are going to successfully build it back up.

They've given us no reason not to have faith in them so far.

Thug life chose Brady

 

[Fvital92]

Zibanejad and Buchnevich all came back from their lifeless performance in the beginning of the season.
Chytil looked really good in this game, maybe his best this season.
The effort was there, can't ask for more at this point.

I've been a Rangers fan for a quarter century.

I have to be given a damn good reason to have faith, not the other way around.

You can disagree, by all means, but I think you should understand where I'm coming from.

When keeping it real goes wrong

Actually, Kreider is a legitimate 1st liner (but not elite) and Zibanejad is probably a bottom tier 1C. There’s just no depth among the forwards and the defense is an eyesore.

 

[Vinny DeAngelo]

Brady didn’t throw a single punch... all he really did was take a penalty and give up a breakaway.

But also where was his d partner on that?

Which will be one of the positives you can take out of this season.

 

[Machinehead]

Pionk is what people think DeAngelo is, and DeAngelo is what people think Pionk is.

 

[eco's bones]

The team is playing hard. IMO they carried the play more than Calgary. Rittich was outstanding and the Rangers have issues finishing.

I like that they're working hard. It's a good habit to have even when you're not a very good team. Up until that suicide pass from Skjei to Zuccarello the Rangers were going full out to get another goal. That's a big difference from last year--down 2 goals late in games last year the team would have been sleepwalking the last 10 minutes.

Probably laughing

Being Neal Pionk.

He may actually be held back by Hayes and Zuccarello right now. Give me aChytil/Howden/Buchnevich line.

 

[NYR94]

Zucc's go-to phrase tonight "It is what it is"

 

[Zibanejbread]

It's sad to say, but I think the only way Staal comes out of the lineup is by injury.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

They took them to bottom 3 through strategic moves. Last year with Quinn and no injuries this team is a playoff team. Hell, hey might be a playoff team WITH AV if there were no injuries. I'm not sure how you're ignoring that they're bottom 3 because Gorton made trades to sell off our older talent on purpose. Also, you were complaining last year that we didn't keep that team together and just get rid of AV because they'd be good. So which is it then?

nothing to wish him long term harm so maybe just something harmless like total and complete incontinence

Understand where you are coming from,but like you said-doesnt mean i have to agree with it

I would have liked to fire the coach before dismantling the team, sure.

But I'm also disappointed in how a lot of guys have looked without AV, Buchnevich being chief among them.

Zibanejad produces nothing at even strength.

 

[Machinehead]

Pionk is JT Miller, but on defense.

-Clearly talented and looks good, horrible metrics.

-Sucks at defense.

-Sort of sucks at offense too, but puts up points somehow.
