Post-Game Talk: Buffalo Buffalo Buffalo Buffalo

[TheWrongWay]

I'm a little surprised at the takes tonight; I thought we played a very good road game. It was far from a picasso, but that's a desperate team in their barn with a lot of skill and we competed well. Blocked a ton of shots, much better shot suppression and better coverage of the middle of the ice all night. Buffalo is much improved this year under Ruff and UPL played a very good game.

Big picture, they actually tried tonight. It's crazy that we have to categorize that as a positive when it should be a 24/7 thing is pathetic but hey, NY sports.

If they put forth that level of compete until the deadline, they should easily be able to float around a wildcard spot. And then you make your moves at the deadline with a booty load of cap space to play with.

I understand your sentiment, but objectively, I'd like the team to look far from a Picasso. Too often, their play and structure do look a little too...

That's not an Original Trouba?

Our defensive zone gives guernica vibes

 

[Takeahnase]

Pardon? In this picnic scenario, is the sun out? If so, are we under a shady branch?

Yes, but Joe is sniffing your hair.

 

[FUZfan]

After that game Drury is trying to figure out how he can give up assets to trade for Powers and then sign him to a 9/9 contract.

 

[LionsHeart]

This reminds of the win against the Penguins where they won, but you know they’re still not right.

 

[Killem Dafoe]

Kakko has 3 more points than Kreider. And is a +10. That 3rd line is ballin.

 

[DialUp]

This reminds of the win against the Penguins where they won, but you know they’re still not right.

And you would be right in thinking it wasn't right. 2nd and 3rd periods they decided to float around again.

 

[will1066]

I'm hearing on the wire that after nearly 12 hours of effort, Kakko has finally approached the Buffalo blue line from his own goal line.

 

[FanCos]

Like watching two geriatric old men with enlarged prostates trying to win a pissing contest

 

[Raspewtin]

idr who pointed it out but mancini makes a big effort play to get the puck deep in the 3rd and Kreider just didn't f***ing bother forechecking and just let it turnover the other way. I was furious at that play. When you have kids like Berard and Cuylle forechecking for their lives and the "vets" just can't be bothered, it brings my piss to a boil.

they can't dump these losers soon enough

Then he faces the camera and tells us what we want to hear.

Trading Kreider is the medicine this Ranger team and organization needs to take. Boyle and Brooks hit on it on their podcast. He hasn't won here, he has value, he's blocking younger more effective players. It's time. Id give him Christmas to say his goodbyes, get his affairs in order, and submit his 15 team list.

Then he faces the camera and tells us what we want to hear.

He never did give us his deep thoughts about the Trouba trade. probably best at this point if he keeps his mouth shut.

 

[Raspewtin]

Cuylle
Edstrom
Berard

5 guys whose roster spot was not guaranteed coming into the season. Speaks volumes about the culture we've built in NY.

 

[TominNC]

Please bring up Rempe, sit Carrick and see how it goes. It's not gonna change our goal scoring or defense but maybe Vinny doesn't have to fight and Carrick doesn't have to fake boogeyman people

No, let Rempe have the full season in Hartford.

Then next season too.

And the one after.

He would have had nothing to do to stop a fight between Trocheck and whoever in that spot. Trocheck went after the guy. Rempe needs an engraved invitation to fight.

 

[Gluten Free Breadman]

But are they boneless wings??

Same thing, in Ohio. Boneless chicken wings can have bones, Ohio court rules

0-0 expected goals.

Seems accurate.

Seems high

Rempe's presence forces everyone on the ice to be physically engaged, teammates and opponents alike. It's a necessary evil, because this team needs a subpoena to hit or forecheck.

"Presence" is doing a lot of heavy lifting here. He has to be able to play more than 3 minutes.

The only player not registered with a hit against Buffalo was Panarin. It's not physical play that is the issue.

"Hasnt been allowed" is a better way to put it. And playing him isnt about his own contributions, it's about how it makes the team play.

It's an aggressiveness issue. The Rangers don't make other teams work hard.

Rempe is not going to fix the make other teams work hard issue. Even with his limited ice time he takes stupid penalties that make it even easier for them.

The last time he was in the lineup, the team let out one of their wettest farts of the season.

Yeah clearly he was the problem

Rempe is not going to fix the make other teams work hard issue. Even with his limited ice time he takes stupid penalties that make it even easier for them.

They barely lost a game with him in the lineup last year. And it definitely made a change in the way they played. Its funny how people conveniently forget they went through a stretch like this last year and came out of it after calling up Rempe and Edstrom. Size and physicality. We have none of it.either call up Rempe or trade for a couple guys who bring that and can play. They should do both.
