Post-Game Talk: #9 - 10/27/19 | bruins @ RANGERS

[Kakko]

I'd feel a lot better about the rebuilding process if all our "young" players, besides the 24 year old defenseman that half the board wants to trade, didn't stagnate or decline.
People went into the season saying they'd be fine losing, as long as the youth improves. But as far I can tell, they're just losing.

Trouba was fairly bad in this one... but it’s hard to single out anyone I guess

 

[Filthy Dangles]

Pretty terrible game, I was there. Rangers just couldn’t make a play most of the game. Most of the game was survive and chip it off the glass. Bruins would quickly regroup and come right back into the zone and go to work again. Rangers were one and done in the offensive zone. Rinse repeat.

They got outclassed by a team that should be in contention for the cup again.

Pretty big wake up call this game was.

And I can’t even comprehend the team trying compete if Zibanejad is missing games after this one.

 

[Kovalev27]

That’s the best news of the night if true. Mika getting another concussion would be devastating

Thank Buddha

 

[Tob]

all of our prime trade candidates scored a goal so at least theres that.

 

[ZiGOODejad]

all of our prime trade candidates scored a goal so at least theres that.

Sell high and never look back

 

[Richard Banger]

Thank YHWH

Fix it for you.

LOL not the biggest endorsement of the roster there from Quinn

What did he say?

 

[Shesterkybomb]

If we didn't sign Panarin, trade for Trouba and draft Kakko people would have a lot more patience.

Its irrelevant really. Its external pressure that shouldnt exist. Those guys are here for the long haul, it's not like we got some rentals that will be here for a year or two.

 

[Oscar Lindberg]

The team is just flately not good.

Not much to be done about it right now

 

[FIRE DRURY]

Feels like this game could have had a completely different outcome if:

1). 1st goal the Bruins scored was goalie interference.
2). 2nd goal against never happened.
3). 3rd goal against never happened.
4). 4th goal against never happened.
5). 5th goal against never happened.

We win 4-2 if you take out that tiny sequence.

 

[bl02]

How about them wolfpack. What else can be said after this one? just glad Zibby's injury isn't a head injury

 

[LORDE]

The biggest issue I see consistently is that we are anything but a hard team to play against. That’s what Quinn wants and it’s anything but that.

When we should hit, we don’t... we we should dump the puck, we don’t... then we we finally should carry the puck in we dump it or make a horrific pass and we CERTAINLY don’t cover the right guys in front of our own net or punish those who set up there.

We are making it VERY easy for any team we play.

 

[lemonybergamot]

What did he say?

(paraphased & may have forgotten some stuff)
-Doesn't matter if we have skilled guys, game of hockey is to stop a play and prevent that play from happening to you
-We have to battle hard, some guys have not bought into that yet
-Sports is about overcoming adversity
-What happened to Mika is unfortunate, the whole team shouldn't have folded like that

 

[Irishguy42]

He's not wrong

 

[effen]

I've said this multiple times but the answer to all this isn't from Quinn, it's from the room. Until they decide to hold each other accountable the team will look like it's just cashing checks.

 

[effen]

Everything about Quinn screams "I wanna recreate the 2011 Boston Bruins" and everything from the team this year screams "let's be the 98-99 New York Rangers"

I know where I place the blame.

 

[Crease]

There's no leadership because the vets know the season is going nowhere.

 

[bleedblue94]

Uncle Joe making excuses. Never seen a commentator bring up the fact that a bottom 6 player had a personal leave of absence 5 times in a broadcast.

But but but he was going to be on the top line

 

[Trxjw]

Quinn is on the money with that comment. Too many guys trying to thread passes or make the perfect play. They need to up their battle level, and as much as people want to whinge about it, that's not the coaches job. The players have to come to the rink ready to play.

Even Hank said it. They need to know how hard they have to play every night.

 

[Chaels Arms]

He's not wrong

The thing I don't understand with Quinn is what skill players is he calling out? Panarin and Zibanejad are awesome. Kakko is 12 years old. Deangelo has been good. That's basically all the skill on the roster right now.

He can't just come out and say the roster sucks though so I guess that's the soundbite we get.

Doesn't read like he's calling out the skill guys on the team, at least to me.

And yeah, that's the soundbite we're getting. Coaches only have 20 pages of quotes in a small book they carry with them for soundbites after each game. So they quickly flip through and choose the one closest to how they actually feel. The book is called "NHL Coach Platitudes and You: A Guide"

 

[broadwayblue]

Brutal game. Can someone explain to me how the hell that first goal against counted? Didn’t Kreider get a goalie interference call for way less a few games ago?
