Around the NHL - Part XLI - (Playoffs Edition)

[Boris Zubov]

Florida making Boston earn it. This is fabulous.

Makes me angry when other teams close in on a 2 on 1 and our players either stay parallel or wide and try a 40 foot lateral

 

[LeetchisGod]

All the other Playoff games I watch seem like they are 2x speed compared to the Rangers series.

No intensity. No heart. No gumption. Bunch of eunuchs out there.

We have to be the dumbest team in the league along with the worst coached.

I feel like it's common sense but we just do not understand how to create space and lanes for the puck.

 

[CLW]

Shooting the puck for a rebound on a 2 on 1. Is that allowed?

No. The puck might go up the ice the other way in a hurry. Not allowed.

 

[LeetchisGod]

The fact that Trouba had to basically throw a tantrum on the ice to get guys to play hard shows all that wrong with the Rangers.

 

[duhmetreE]

Shooting the puck for a rebound on a 2 on 1. Is that allowed?

that's too 'north' for our team.

just that simple concept of shooting for a rebound... this team does not understand it.

They really shouldn't need coaching at this level on how to execute an odd man rush. It's just lack of willingness to complete an objective.

 

[duhmetreE]

we should have given up everything for Tkachuk a couple seasons ago when there were rumblings.

 

[LeetchisGod]

I wonder if the Bruins might have exerted too much energy in the regular season. They look very sluggish.

well if you have to hold their hand, you have to hold their hand. This team cannot police itself, that's been evident.

The hands off approach does not work

They look beatable for sure

And as i post that Pasta almost scores

 

[duhmetreE]

talent wise, Boston is decent. Great defense but it's their structure and teamplay.

He's been abusing poor Marc Staal.

Agree. I would argue the Rangers have more talent but don't play as a team/have no structure.

Win or lose, Turk has to go! We need an Xs and Os coach, and if that ruffles a few feathers...good!

They're slow but they're willing to make it ugly to get it by the goaltender. They save the skill plays for opportunities that make sense

I wish @EdJovanovski can taste Marco's pizza

 

[duhmetreE]

Barkov leaves a lot to be desired...

he'd be a perfect Ranger.

 

[will1066]

Watching other teams shoot confirms that ours don't know how

 

[FultonReed]

Watching other teams shoot confirms that ours don't know how

just watching teams make crisp passes is baffling to me, what is going on here

 

[EdJovanovski]

I wish @EdJovanovski can taste Marco's pizza

What is it

 

[Chalfdiggity3]

Bissonette taking jabs, said on tnt intermission, rangers could be lookin for a coach after Biz trying to act like one with a white board

 

[will1066]

I'm just mesmerized by how fundamentally lacking our team is and the numerous bad habits that have seeped in. The fact that we rely almost exclusively on creating open net situations in order to score because the players can't beat a goalie.

Matt Tkachuk is another player you hate on an opposing team, but love him if he is on your team.
