Post-Game Talk: Chicago Blackhawks at New York Rangers - January 3

[darko]

Although Miller stinks down the middle I agree with you better with Vinny in the lineup and Miller in the middle than DD in the lineup. We need guys with energy who can win some puck battles in the o zone. Youth and hunger.

I think Miller has been fine at C this year.

 

[Avery16]

Torts has a better team in Columbus than AV has here in ny this season and We are two points behind them with 1 game in hand. Not much more torts could do with this roster sorry to say albeit his post game interviews would be fun to watch.

Besides ruin it

 

[Roo Returns]

Winter. Classic. Hangover.

Clobber AZ on Saturday.

Goodnight.

 

[Fvital92]

AV thought Nash was on fire tonight. This a joke, we can't get rid of him soon enough.

 

[eco's bones]

Awful game. Just f***ing crap. Apart from Lundqvist the entire team played like shit all night long.

 

[Captain Lindy]

I've been quoted in the past saying I hope Nash stays and takes a discount. I don't think I even want him back at all anymore. He will never be a scorer in this league again. Trade him at the deadline to a contender and hope to get a 2nd

Rangers fans should know -- and know very well -- that if/when he leaves here to another team he will light up the league and return to his old form. It's Rangeritis he has.

So, how did they play tonight guys? Just kidding. They were on a Winter Classic high I guess and weren't ready to play which is no excuse. I'd like to blame the coach for all of that because I hate him but the players need to also take responsibility. This team just never makes it easy on themselves. I suspect we will see a better performance in Arizona.

The funniest example of this for me is Eric Staal playing horrendously here and then promptly scoring 65 for the Wild last year

 

[LeetchisGod]

Good thing Nash wants to stay in NY and the Rangers would like to keep him. That'll be fun.

The frightening part is that he'll get worse. You have seen anything yet. They'll probably give him a three year deal.

 

[NYR]

Whether you want to believe it or not.
This team is being run by abunch of morons.
From Gorton to AV..
Time for a major shakeup!

So... this was a new one for me. I’ve never before seen a broken stick into the crowd, not had anyone else around us (security, etc.). Managed to grab this one.

I didn’t see whose stick it was. Anyone know? Was 2-3’ into the period.

 

[ReggieDunlop68]

We can get rid of Nash and you won't even notice he's gone

Not true.

Way better blood pressure.

It was Holden’s stick

Thanks.

It’s a lefty Warrior, black tape. Open face, mid-curve.

Dredger on twitter saying that Kreider is likely 7-8 weeks away, and that the Rangers haven't put an offer to Nash yet but it sounds like they want to keep him around.

Surprised this thread is only at four pages.

Oh f***

Obviously, we can't go through a season without a stupid decision.

 

[mrhockey193195]

Amongst everything else wrong with this team, Zucc's refusal to shoot the puck, especially on the powerplay, is going to give me a stroke. I can't f***ing stand his decision making at times.

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

I don't think Nash will be any better than a fourth liner by next season, why would we keep him around? He's a third liner this season.

This is the lineup I want to see for now. Stack the ice time for the first line, Miller and Hayes. Everyone else should get around the same, depending on their contributions that game.

Buchnevich-Zibanejad-Zuccarello
Grabner-Miller-Desharnais
Vesey-Hayes-Nash
Lettieri-Nieves-Fast

 

[DanielBrassard]

From the mains:

Ugly, great chart though.

 

[Deleted member 23124]

Smith in the 2017 playoff beast like one i've rarely seen in a blueshirt. Physical, nasty, competent, quick. This year a shell of that. Makes so many brain dead plays failing to get the puck deep when skating it out of his zone. Hope its not the paycheck.

I blame the coach and his punchless system.

Of course. There are no repercussions for failure around here.
