Post-Game Talk: bruins @ Rangers

[HonestGabe]

DeAngelo’s presence was missed today.

It’s becoming glaringly obvious which players on this team are not part of the family picture.

Brady Skjei, Ryan Strome, Marc Staal, Brendan Smith. Buchnevich even to an extent. We need to replace these players with players who fit the teams identity and supplement our top guys with some depth.

 

[egelband]

Unpopular opinion: that wasn't a bad game at all.

Those two teams are very similar, aside from the Rangers splitting up their best players on to two lines. Boston has more depth and is more experienced but it's sort of like hockey's version of looking in a mirror. or maybe a before-after side-by-side.

Eat it Marchand

Well aware. So where is the coaching staff in all this? Where is the demand from them to get pucks to the net on the PP.

Complete failure from DQ and his staff.

Our GM just didn't pick a great coaching staff.

 

[Ghost of jas]

Poorly coached game. Cant be stressed enough. They were sloppy from the start and when the PPs came the coaching staff allowed free reign. Especially after the first one...they clearly didnt have it to be trying the extra passes that they like and they clearly just needed to shoot the puck. Its despicable that the COACHING staff did not intervene and get them to shoot the puck.

I think you're going a little overboard, but, but you are right in in the idea that the coaching staff needed to stress that Boston makes it a slog and the fancy crap isn't going to work. Mika was very guilty of that, and Strome always does it.

People at the end of the thread blaming George. Game could have been way out of control if it weren't for him.

Crazy people will going to blame him for a breakaway goal and a fluke off of Trouba. I hate this fanbase sometimes. I feel sorry for Igor because he's got so much pressure to perform on his shoulders where the defense in front of him his ABSOLUTELY GARBAGE. So much in fact that we've got to put Mika on the damn blue line for offense on the PP.

Can't blame Georgie today. Team in front of him were playing zombie hockey for 50 minutes

 

[Brooklyn Rangers Fan]

First game back after a road trip, Sunday afternoon, playing a defensively stalwart team... pretty predictable result. Hung with them for most of it, however.

The good thing is, a loss like this emphasizes the need to stick with the plan immediately prior to the TDL.

 

[Machinehead]

Big call considering Strome has 15 NHL playoff games on his resume.

There's an encyclopedia of evidence in the NHL of do-nothing secondary assist collectors failing in the playoffs.

 

[TheBloodyNine]

Trade Strome ASAP. Guy cant score. Hands of stone. He has been crap for at least a month now. Why he was on the ice at the end there is mind boggling. Might as well put Kakko out there and try the faceoff with someone else

Hands of STROME.

I wish

Lemmy and Lindgren everyone else garbage.
Lindgren is awesome to watch. When this team makes the playoffs again we will really appreciate a player like him.

Lindgren is a keeper 100%

That should be the formula for sure. Guys like Lemmy and Lindgren are a start

Lol. Money puck is trash.

 

[Good Intentions]

As I mentioned in-game, Buchnevich’s retaliatory assault on Marchand is unequivocally the best thing he’s done.

Lindgren is nothing short of a throwback warrior out of 1993. An important reminder that a blind “B prospect’ level tag falls short in regards to team impact.

Rest up and hammer a short Hawks team on Wednesday.

Can’t wait for next Monday.

Both teams were pretty terrible, I thought.

 

[Ratelleitlikeitis]

Hands of STROME.

Code name Roberto Duran...hands of stone.

 

[Oscar Lindberg]

A tough but necessary loss

Youre right I am bit pissed. I expected a better effort today.

Losing is one thing. It happens. But when you lose like this. Infuriating. Forcing the extra fancy pass over and over again. Not moving your legs and skating.

 

[will1066]

It’s like they think every player on the other team has the puck.

I like this

Lindgren-Fox was—again—exceptional.

I don't think it was the effort. They should have come out of the first period in a scoreless tie. The problem was that they tried to get too fancy sometimes against a team who just doesn't allow it.

 

[NYR]

Love Lindgren but if Buch is your best player against this team.. You've got problems..

 

[aufheben]

Lol. Money puck is trash.

Ok, this is from a different site. Is that satisfactory?

There's an encyclopedia of evidence in the NHL of do-nothing secondary assist collectors failing in the playoffs.

25 primary assists and 10 secondary assists this season. Just saying.
