Post-Game Talk: Boiled in Oil

[LOFIN]

Ever notice Emily spins the microphone when she asks questions?

I'm paying closer attention now

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

Panarin had a horrific game.

Trochek was bad too besides faceoffs.

 

[Brutananadilewski]

Ok, so he played like shit. That's hockey. That's life. The team is going to lose some games.

And this is a message board.

Your point?

What, we now have to get approval from you over what can and can't be said?

 

[inranger94]

We're 22-8-1. If we played the way people always bring up after a loss (always tight, always north-south, passing is for losers) realistically, what would we be?

30-0-1?

I expected 31-0-0 and no less.

 

[RangersFan]

Just got back from game. Crazy Zib had 3 points, he looked like the worst player out there.

Actually, yes. And also we could be less toxic about it.

If somebody would just talk about how the team sucked, I would listen. Instead we read about how they're soy boys and too afraid.

I guess they took their hormones before the 22 games they won this year.

 

[Mike in Houston]

When we lose we never look good doing it.

That line has been mediocre at best for awhile now.

 

[Clark Kellogg]

No MSG Post Game.

 

[Crease]

This team is a contender. Get Chytil and Kakko back and add one more piece at the deadline to put them over the top. Contenders still lose plenty of games, take a breath.

That’s how she signals @will1066

She's a spinner

I'm still not sold on the "and Kakko" part.

 

[will1066]

26-4-1 probably.

22-8-1 is nice but it's funny just the other day I asked myself what would be a truly elite kind of record. These regulation losses lately have removed the word elite from the conversation

Chytil career is over.


Kakko + conditional 1st for Lindholm @ 50% do it Duru

 

[Fitzy]

Cuylle-Bonino-Brod is 1/3rd of a functional 3rd line. They need to find some way to get 2 more top 9 guys or we will continue to be a team with 2 4th lines.

Get Chytil back and promote Vesey.

Sadly I'm not sold on Chytil coming back any time soon. They are obviously taking their time with him which they should. I think he'll be skating by himself like a sad emo chick for a while.

 

[LeetchisGod]

We don't lose often, but when we do it's a shitshow.

 

[Stone97Ace]

We'll all be friends again after tomorrow night when we win by at least 2 goals. Unless we don't in which case I'll be eating ramen noodles for the next 3 weeks.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

My one criticism this year. They don't have to embarass themselves every loss. Unlike two seasons ago we haven't won many games we shouldn't have but we als haven't lost many games we shouldn't have. Maybe the Columbus game.

I just wonder if him and his camp should seriously be pondering coming back at all if he has had such severe symptoms. We just had Joonas Donskoi retire after multiple concussions (one of them delivered by Lindgren), aged 31. These things are scary, and one more can make the difference between you being normal and living the rest of your life disabled. There have been cases, a few of 'em, in Finnish hockey where players have retired because of concussions. And it's pretty nasty stuff reading when they can't even function normally in ordinary life of because of the damage they have sustained.

If I were Chytil's camp, I would seriously ponder this question. He has made it to the top, he has made some money, is it all worth risking you might be disabled after the next hit (which doesn't have to be a big one at this stage)?

I thought we played a decent first 2 periods. But if you listen to the coach's presser, he thought we sucked in the 2nd and Quick saved us. So I guess we were lucky it wasn't 8-3. So yea, a shit show.

 

[huerter]

Which teams lose pretty?

 

[SnowblindNYR]

Which teams lose pretty?

The 13-14 team once they got going lost quite a few games they dominated. I guess that sounds good and all but also pointed at their lack of firepower. The Rangers have done an amazing job coming back if they were close in third periods this year because they have more firepower.
