Post-Game Talk: Blue Waffle

[Machinehead]

The reaction to this game is way over the top.
Half the AHL team is playing, they didn't play bad, and the guys who did are mostly the guys who don't belong in the NHL (and also Jacob Trouba who basically fits that description at this point).

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

Igor needs to make a save.

That’s really it. You can’t get mad at the rest of the team when they put up 45 shots with the team they were running out there.

 

[Rangers in 7]

Ready for the Igor hot takes. I get it. He's not playing his best, but the game was just 2-1 on the far side of the second period and we can't buy more than 1 goal until the dying f***ing minutes of the third.

We can also throw in no one knowing how to shoot a puck.
Perimeter shooting.
Passing while in the slot.
Pylon D.
Jones.
Even strength trash.

Did I miss anything?

Jesus. Are we allowed to agree on something? Is that ok?

 

[Whoot Whoot]

Hope Mika was actually sick

 

[mrmovies779]

Drury really has a lot of work to do..we have too many minor leaguers in the lineup..especially the 1 wearing 55

 

[McRanger92]

National TV on Saturday to embarrass us further.

5-2 loss and a Ranger gets pummeled in a fight late to show some “heart”

 

[Uglybstrd]

That trade`s gonna haunt us for decades

 

[BroadwayStorm]

Every single half decent team is going to beat us going forward. We are in desperate need of shedding all these AHL players off the bottom 6 and we need to make some trades. Trade anyone I don't care about any prospect not named Gabe Perrault. They all suck. Including Othmann. And PLEASE stop playing Igor so much.

 

[RangerLifer]

Haha same here, became a fan in 1995/1996. They had just won the cup and I thought they were good. I was in for a rude awakening.

The first year I watched them it was in '79 when they went to the Cup Final. My dad told me, "Don't expect this every year." Man, was he right. LOL!

 

[Kovalev27]

I’m not seeing Laviolettes message coming thru with these guys lately at all. This is wide open hockey. Not seeing any structure anymore. It’s concerning.

 

[McRanger92]

Fox blaming the refs. Weak mindset from a team getting softer as the season goes on

 

[Machinehead]

Rangers getting goalied a bit the last few. Coupled with the fact that Igor has turned into Georgiev.

But you’re in denial if you think injuries are an excuse for how little the team goes to the net and just refuses to move their feet. I’m open to a complete overhaul of the defense. Fox is performing miracles playing with those other 5 dopes

It's amazing how easily you can move and go to the net on the rush and we have two defensemen in our top 4 who make that an impossibility.

Fix the roster, and you'll see the hockey you want.

They stand still to a ridiculous degree and things only work because Fox and Panarin have been God tier magicians their entire careers.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

I think the Giants are a better team to be a fan of at least you know early in the season they're garbage.

This is surely a hot take

 

[Brutananadilewski]

People thinking KK and Fil will change the fortunes for our team...LOL!!

KK skating was dog shit and he's going to skate just as well when he comes back? After 4 concussions, Fil is also going to just jump right in and contribute?

Defense is brain dead, we give ice time to players closer to collecting Social Security checks than our young guys.

...And Igor.

I am not sure there is much he can do. Literally zero cap space. Nothing worth of value that actually makes money. Not trading another first rounder.
This team is gonna have to find a way to eke out some wins until everyone gets healthy again.

 

[17futurecap]

Bonino 6:16 at five on five, one awful penalty 0 shot attempts for 7 against.

 

[ReddestRum]

Jesus. Are we allowed to agree on something? Is that ok?

Yeah, R7. Just once a year tho.

 

[AKrangerfan]

Can't win when the goalie is playing at the ECHL level. I think AHL goalies can do better than .789 save percentage. I would rather play Quick and Domingue at this point.
Binnington with a .953 save percentage. We switch goalies and we win this game by a 10-1 score.

Most of those shots were of the useless variety

Id like to see Lindgren and Schneider moved for upgrades on D. Hockey trades. The roster needs a shakeup

 

[ReleasO The KakkO]

I understand players are hurt. I don’t understand why we’re running out so much washed up garbage every night.

Other teams that have injuries have prospects ready to fill in.

Not that he’s a prospect but interesting to note that Drury’s nephew now has more goals than 65% of the Ranger line-up…

I don't get why the trash doesn't at least throw the body instead of doing circles and getting badly outskilled. They have to know they're badly outmatched.

 

[KevinFinnerty]

embarrassing to root for this team. every team has a better trajectory than us right now which spells serious trouble
