Post-Game Talk: bruins @ Rongos

[Machinehead]

I 1000% agree. I like we've played with balls and defensive competence at least finally.

But I suspect Quinn has stifled the offense to a degree that a good and experienced coach wouldn't have. I also dislike many of the moves we made and think the team identity is damaged as a result.

Right, I agree with that assessment, but I don't agree the team is damaged. It's a small part of one season.

The structure they're playing with is significant progress.

 

[Kovalev27]

Shesterkins numbers are starting to look ridiculous. And we just can’t score goals

he’s down to 2.16 gaa and over a 920 sav%

 

[NYRFANMANI]

And let me tell you. You’d be nuts to resign Buchnevich. I know we won’t but I hope it’s not even entertained. We’ve got a mini fire sale impending with Strome Buchnevich DeAngelo moving soon

Fingers crossed for that 2022 1st rd draft pick!

 

[CupSeeker]

I don’t think experience is going to make any of these players some of the best, especially not Kakko.

The Rangers need to deal some of their wingers. The only two guys that are off the table are Panarin and LaFreniere.

Especially not Kakko? He's been their best winger this year game in game out. Panarin has numbers but Panarin has cost us goals too with sloppy play. Not the time to be getting on Kakko.

 

[Anthony5967]

“Not Quinn’s fault.”
What about him moving Buchnevich off the top line and out of the top six to accommodate Blackwell? Buch has 8 friggin points. This coach literally is a pineapple head. Guy has skill, competes, battles, has rounded out his 200 foot game, fights tonight, gets demoted. What a clown behind the bench. Good message to send moron.

 

[Kovalev27]

Mika legit has one goal. Wtf

 

[WojtekWolski86]

The guy at the top of the Umbrella is not the problem. If the wingers aren't shooting threats than the slot never open for a pass and down low plays are non existant. The PP is stuck on the outside. No same passes will ever get through. The only thing they have is 40 ft wrister with a prayer attached to it. Until they commit to either Laf or Kaako as the triggerman than the PP lives and dies on Zibanajed finding his mojo again. If he can't put his 1ter on the net than Kreider doesn't get tips (although he hasn't done much in this facet either). Once ziba is a threat teams start cheating and opening up other lanes. Until than, a super tight diamond and teams will just dare you to shoot.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

This game felt worse than 1-0, last game it felt like we went toe to toe with them. This game we kind of looked helpless after that first period. We looked outclassed. That said we didn't get dominated or anything.

 

[will1066]

Is it me or is nearly every shot on the power play now a fadeaway shot? Remember when players actually stepped into a shot?

 

[Brother Mouzone]

You got a job, I suppose.

Go heckle your co-workers. I dare you.

I am retired military (Marines infantry) I called Marines out all the time when they f***ed up once I had the experience , knowledge and rank .I got called out when I f***ed up as well, its how you learn, and get better .I now own a successful small business going on 5 years and still do the same with my employees .

 

[Oscar Lindberg]

Fingers crossed for that 2022 1st rd draft pick!

Nah they gotta get something tangible back for him

Strome for a draft pick is fine but Buch is gotta be a player I think

 

[Shesterkybomb]

Uh huh. Nobody is getting absolved of blame for a 1/18 over the last 19.
So many excuses here haha

Tony probably running an amazing pp on the PS4 right now.

 

[Graves94]

Why is Gauthier, who's been playing really well and had a strong first period, playing so little in the last 2 periods?

 

[NoQuitInNewMexico]

I'm gonna go ahead and blame the ice

Exactly

Tony probably running an amazing pp on the PS4 right now.

I'm sure he's scored more goals on there than the Rangers have over the last 3 games (they were shut out twice in that stretch). PP probably pretty good too.

 

[Blueshirt Believer]

I love Fox, he's the Team MVP so far this year, but the PP is 1/18 out of the last 19. Let's wait on calling him solid back there.

Movement from the blueline isn't the issue(when they can penetrate the zone). It's the absence of a shooting threat from either the half walls.

Fox is great at retaining and moving the puck, but he doesn't have a booming shot(which is fine).

But, nobody is s scoring threat which allows teams to collapse the slot.

What I am saying is that it isn't a QB issue, it's a shooting threat one...

 

[CupSeeker]

PP looks great without him, huh?

Tony is a colossal dick; give it up. He's gone and we need to figure it out without him.

 

[Black Aces]

You sound like such a crybaby it’s unreal

No need for that

 

[effen]

Is it me or is nearly every shot on the power play now a fadeaway shot? Remember when players actually stepped into a shot?

a reaction probably to getting everything blocked when they take an age to bear down on a wrister. the team has literally zero players who just snap a shot in rhythm

 

[TheBloodyNine]

Tony is a colossal dick; give it up. He's gone and we need to figure it out without him.

Uhhh, figured WHAT out? PP 1/18 in his absence. Shut out twice. What exactly is FIGURED out?

 

[Black Aces]

Is it me or is nearly every shot on the power play now a fadeaway shot? Remember when players actually stepped into a shot?

it does seem to be the case.

Also, everyone loves the shot pass which fails miserably for us

 

[Fataldogg]

How much is the upcoming contract weighing on Mika?

is that a thing?

And let me tell you. You’d be nuts to resign Buchnevich. I know we won’t but I hope it’s not even entertained. We’ve got a mini fire sale impending with Strome Buchnevich DeAngelo moving soon

Buchnevich isn't the problem. If there were halfway capable centers on the team, he would be a solid 50+ point winger. He also plays harder than the vast majority of the team.

He isnt old either. Trading Buchnevich for the sake of trading him will only make the team worse.

We have already had fire sales where we got rid of good players [McDonagh, JT Miller, Stepan] and got garbage in return. Tony DeAngelo was the best piece we got in any recent trade, but he was dropped from the team.

Stop the fire sales, please. Focus on building with the deep prospect pool and retain the talent you have.

 

[Joe Ranger Fan 1960]

The PP is slow, predictable, tentative and telegraphed. Could Valley and Quinn talk about that for a nanosecond?

 

[Shesterkybomb]

I'm sure he's scored more goals on there than the Rangers have over the last 3 games (they were shut out twice in that stretch). PP probably pretty good too.

Only one he'll be running this year.
