Post-Game Talk: Devil V

[Shesterkybomb]

I'd also like to see the 4th line broken up and some of those players mixed higher in the lineup. Might as well throw it fully in the blender if we're going to do it.

I want Motte with kreider and Trochek.

 

[Jim Ramsay]

Can we just demote the whole team and let the Wolfpack play in Ranger sweaters?

 

[Filip Chytil]

Probably just small sample size. Faceoff % in the playoffs:

Zibanejad- 48.39%

Trocheck- 43.33%

Chytil- 60.47%

According to Natural Stat Trick

But only if that includes Kreider actually willing to drive the net 5v5

Chytil and trochek completely flipped…

And trocheck has been awful this entire series. I hated that signing from the beginning.

Mixing the lines up. Fine. But is GG able to motivate the squad? Is he capable of making a speech of some sort that will pump everyone up. Just changing the lines without addressing the issues in our system and motivation of the squad will do nothing. I have lost all faith in our coach. Hope he proves me wrong.

Speeches mean basicslly nothing. You think Nhl players need a guy to pump them up before a game and that's gonna dictate how he plays? This isn't a mighty ducks movie or something. The lack of effort the players are making tanking this team.

 

[DialUp]

Been thinking about the situation soberly today, and came to the same conclusion some of us was getting dragged on coming into this series: this is our worst possible matchup. It was before, it remains, and will be a miracle if we pull the comeback off.

I like miracles, so hoping for one.

This is why I can't blame the d and goalie. They Rangers have put a solid defense and goalie on the ice for 2 decades now. I'm sorry, but they aren't the problem. And no, the goalie alone isn't enough to get those numbers. There are 6 other guys that help out a lot. No one is an island in a consistent movement based team sport.

It's the forwards. Its been the forwards the whole time. Whether that be development, amatuer scouting, pro scouting, skills coach, grit, whatever. Its the forwards. There are 12 of them. Only 7 of the other guys. (6 D + 1 G)

It is a wonder to me that people dislike the Rangers so much. They never win. They never have the assholes of the league. They are never a fierce team. Why the dislike? This team is vanilla and has been forever which is why they lose.

And maybe that has something to do with it. The players that play for us don't like us. They don't really want the team to succeed cause they probably grew up hating this f***ing team in the first place. They go out there, go through the motions and collect their money. Need to find us some Tkachuks/Marchands/Gallaghers/Kucherovs/etc. You have to hate to lose or else you won't win.

I’m convinced there’s some sort of shadow directive from sather (only use low risk plays based around the stretch pass offense, stay in a straight line for an odd man rush, can’t cut to the middle in the offensive zone, etc)

 

[Mandar]

On one hand, mixing and matching the lines to try to match those players that actually can play with a bit of grit and jam with those that can't may actually add to some differentiation in how we attack the Devils.

On the other hand, doing it this late feels incredibly desperate, overdue, and probably not fleshed out enough to be successful. These guys likely won't gel in a day.

Just rearranging the ingredients wont change the recipe (I like food analogies)...

Need to create a whole different outcome. How? New Blood? Perhaps a change in game plan......but gotta do something different

Bread - Chytil - Kakko

The 'no fu*king way this will work' line ?

agreed....nothing will work if they wont go to the "harder" areas on the ice. Or even attempt to....

 

[EdJovanovski]

My lines for tomorrow would be:

Kreider - Chytil - Othmann
Panarin - Brodzinski - Vesey
Cullye - Trocheck - Tarasenko
Kakko - Goodrow - Kane

Lindgren - Fox
Miller - Jones
Mikkola - Schneider

Shesterkin

PP1
Kreider-Trocheck-Tarasenko
Fox-Panarin
PP2
Kakko-Chytil-Othmann
Jones-Kane

Scratch: Zibanejad, Lafreniere, Motte, Trouba

And have those cords ready to descend our secret weapon from the rafters

no Sykora?

 

[EdJovanovski]

no Sykora?

I had too many guys in the lineup so I scratched Mika now
Maybe scratch Miller & put Sykora at D

 

[will1066]

Let's get the cast that played the Rangers on Mystery Alaska and sign them to one-game contracts

Haha, yup, like I said in the Ticket thread i'm sooo happy I sold my tickets before yesterday's game. Got $440 a ticket, right now those tickets in the same area are going for $250.

 

[DanielBrassard]

I wonder if they will go back to the tried and true PP unit that they had before the TD. Trocheck back up and Panarin on the right.

Looking at the boxscore and thinking, is this a f***ing joke?

What in the actual f*** is Miller doing getting FIVE more ES minutes than Fox???

In fact, Schneider and Mikkola had more ESTOI than Fox.

Braindead coaching. Braindead.

F*ck it dude bring Krav back

 

[Leonardo87]

Going to be missing the game tomorrow, can’t even check my phone. Maybe it’s a good thing. Maybe the hockey gods will take my sacrifice and get us to a Game 7 with momentum on our side giving us back some hope to advance to the next round.

Not gonna lie, feel very defeated right now with hockey. I haven’t posted much since they went down 2-0 last night. There were Devils fans at the brewery who were acting up. I live on the border of NJ so it was inevitable. But I had to leave. Ruined my night.
