Post-Game Talk: Devil V

[17futurecap]

NOW it's time to play for real! Gimme a break, I can't take it with these player quotes. It's all a scam, I don't even think they believe it anymore.

“Play the way we want to play”

Frank Costanza What the hell does that mean?

 

[Machinehead]

Just proves that this core either takes care of it or doesn't, and Quinn couldn't get through and now Gallant got through for two seasons but not enough for two playoffs

Maybe we need a coach with a bit more personality that will give this team clear parameters on how to play.

I don't even think it has to be a hardass like a Torts or Keenan. Just somebody with clear plan.

Gallant just feels like Larry David going "eh..."

 

[Machinehead]

“I f***ing sucked and need to play better.”

Good luck with that one.

 

[Megustaelhockey]

Hockey should be fun.

This was not fun.

Gutless. Despicable. Laughable.

And the last time we are going to hear Sam Rosen and Joe Micheletti this season.

 

[I Eat Crow]

I guarantee that my diarrhea isn't going to stop after the last go round two minutes ago.

Who is going to stand up and guarantee anything right now.

this literally has zero meaning or depth.

we gave up....

 

[CLW]

Is GG seriously saying they were good? 2 SOG in the third. TWO?? Goodness. I would hate to see how bad they would have to be for him to say they were bad.

GG is deflecting. He always does this because if he didn't the focus would be on him.

 

[Crease]

We need more of that. Kane has 3 Cups to show for his assault. The rest of these players wouldn't even be out in public intoxicated. Just a glass of red wine before bed for the antioxidants.

These assholes definitely drink hard seltzer.

 

[Off Sides]

I have nothing nice to say about this team.

To each their own, I blame ownership and the adviser to. Over the past decades since they last won the Cup, they've gone through GMs, presidents, coaches, players, yet Dolan(1995) and Sather (2000) /and his cronies, are the common denominator.

You can't win with a team of vegetarians and poets. We need meat eaters that will do 80 in a school zone and punch people in the face at clubs with poor lighting when they turn off the light before the beat drops. Not Kreider cosplaying edgar allan poe while playing the piano or Zibanejad skimming the whole foods hand squeezed almond milk selection and apologizing to women for blocking their view of display. This team cannot handle adversity. Only the good vibes when things are going right. Gorton identified and selected some of the softest and most pacifist players possible for this rebuild and we are stuck with them. Drury tried to bring in a few guys that are willing to battle but you can't expect the complimentary players to get the core players to become battlers.

I want to like this 3x.

 

[80s Kid]

I think we need Tortorella back...

 

[Glen Sathers Cigar]

Imo Gallant choked the life out of the team by demanding perfect D play from everyone without bothering (knowing how to) set up an offensive system to go with it. Now we have the entire team stuck in neutral trying not to f*** up defensively and no idea how to go up the ice efficiently, especially against a trapping team, or any semblance of smart team movement in the o zone, or neutral zone, or d zone. It's too late to fix that, all that should have been done during the pre- and regular season.

The coaching must get better there's no way around it. I'm sure the players are playing as instructed so what the hell can they do. Then the coward coach blames the players for not magically/spaciously creating something out of nothing. All year this team has struggled against hustling and compact teams, starting with Winnipeg in game 3 of the season. Then San Jose game 5, then CBJ game 6 etc etc etc. And people told themselves those games were just bad breaks...

Very well put.

 

[The Gloaming]

I truly wonder what Panarin's trade value is? Is Reinhart and Bennett close?

Florida would never trade those 2 for him. They just got rid of a soft, no show winger. They don't need another one and certainly not for players who actually show up in the playoffs.

 

[Filip Chytil]

What's Gallant gonna do at the presser? Throw everyone under the bus? The only thing he can do now with their backs against the wall is use honey instead of vinegar. Plead with them, not yell at them. Yelling at this point is useless.

Light them all a new one

"Look we sucked. Mika, your music is shit. Deal with it. And get a haircut while you're at it and stop eating like a bird and start eating like a man. Chris, I don't care if you can jump out of the Atlantic Ocean. Artemi, you turn the puck over more than Mark Sanchez turned the football over with the Jets. Jacob, you make Stu Bickel look like prime Brian Leetch. Lindy, I'm revoking your Toradol privileges because the addiction is way out of hand. I'm out of here!"

And then go AWOL

Yeah shouldn't they be playing hard every single game they step on the ice? Has a team ever really been sh*t on that has lost, but has obviously played hard and done their best (at least amongst the rational fanbase)?

Basically this an admittance that they don't give a rat's ass. But maybe next game they will because they owe it to the fans? Weird.

More smartest guy in the room syndrome hoping we all buy his BS, go crush someone and prove it p***y or shut up

 

[Machinehead]

The analytics machine has been fixed.

Kaapo Kakko is a player.

 

[duhmetreE]

the only logical explanation is that the NHL is in on it.

every series must go 6 or preferably 7.

Great analysis

 

[zlev]

goddamn perfect lmao

 

[Machinehead]

Edge, God rest his soul, warned us way back when that Gallant is a babysitter and his system is 101 at best.

 

[Kaapo Cabana]

At least we won’t fulfill the Kane draft pick requirements

 

[will1066]

We got a guy that beat up a cabbie. It hasn’t helped.

He's only tough inside cabs

Yea, more like they’d trade us BOB for him, maybe lol
