Post-Game Talk: Devil VII

[Machinehead]

That should include Kreider. Elimination games heroics aside, there is a point where we have to ask, why do his teams consistently find themselves on the brink of elimination. Is Drury brave or creative enough to pull such a move.

Yes, Mr. MH sir, I'll sign my name on the list.

You can't volunteer for the list.

For that, you just made the list!

 

[Oscar Lindberg]

Gallant begging Drury for roster changes in this press conference. Wow.

I don’t care for him but he’s not wrong

Kane trade was boneheaded. Kane shot himself up for horse tranquilizer for a week to get Drury’s attention and we fell for it

Trade for guys that filled a need, not a name to sell god damn jerseys

 

[NoQuitInNewMexico]

I just don't agree. There is a way out of this core.

Find a team that wants to take the whole Panarin or Trouba contract? Who knows, but I doubt it. Mika and Kreider are "tradeable" but they also aren't bad value for money, really

 

[The don godfather]

Hey rangers fans dont feel so bad bruins fan here. Enough said.

 

[Beer League Sniper]

Panarin and Trouba need to go. They eat up nearly a quarter of our cap.

This team is cursed. We get two historic draft lottery wins, and come away with worse players than we would have had if we just kept our original picks. It’s not “the reason” we lost, but can we finally admit to ourselves as a fanbase that Laf and Kakko are busts? Doesn’t mean they can’t become useful players, but I’m so tired of pretending a breakout is imminent.

Cheers man!

 

[Guadana]

Don`t feel bad. At least your goalie is awesome.

 

[Cygnus 2112]

Terrible performance. Again. I don’t want to repeat what others said so I’ll just leave this here:

I miss Cally.

 

[Chaels Arms]

Everything went downhill with the Kane trade. That was the moment that signaled we were back to full Rongos. It didn't solve a need and had no justification other than it was an aging, big name superstar who supposedly came on the cheap.

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

Our AHL franchise is a joke.

Hartford is actually pretty dope and have been fire for a few months now.

 

[PalmCoastRanger]

7-2 in Game 7s over the last 11 years.

The two losses to teams that had one thing in common: Ondrej Palat.

Thought I was the only one who noticed.

 

[Graves97]

All-star team. Basicly calling Drury out.

Basically calling them lazy f***z which we all saw

 

[I Eat Crow]

everyone saying Igor was great was he ? he got outplayed games 3 4 5 7 he was terrible

This game legitiamtely would have been 8-0 with Spicy Pork or Halak in net.

 

[Kakko]

Sounds like there's a fundamental rift between Gallant and the players. Presumably one that's been going on for a while.
Always ends badly for the coach, but when the players are "rebelling" in the PLAYOFFS, I'm inclined to ask questions of them.

Yup, f*** him too. Ranger killer. His forechecking led directly to the winner.

 

[mrmovies779]

Its been a pleasure chatting with you all for another season.I have faith Drury will be working extra hard to fix this team and its problems.He's seen everything we saw,now its his time to get to work.We have pieces to make things happen

 

[McRanger92]

Yeah, it's all just Panairn.

Trade him and Lafreniere and Kakko will lead us to the Cup.

Idk what to tell you guy. 0 goals in the playoffs. 11.6 million. You want to trade one of Kakko or Laf I’m all ears in the right deal. Include Miller in that group. But as long as we’re getting a donut from Panarin in the playoffs it doesnt matter

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

What did Panarin say?

 

[LOFIN]

bitch about Panarin all you want but this team is f***ed by the kids not developing. Panarin was the only one creating anything in the offensive zone tonight.

Which, in the end, resulted in f*** all

 

[Bacon Artemi Bravo]

That's some true leadership in action. It is not easy to take blame, publicly, for something like this. Very high character move.

 

[kinger8998]

I did not have Kane and Tarasenko being out 2nd and 3rd best point producers and us still losing on my bingo card. If you told me before playoffs, with no other hints, that Kane and tarasenko were our 2nd and 3rd best forwards, I would think we went on a deep, deep run.

Ultimately, Mika of Games 1-5, Panarin, Trocheck, and the entire efforts in Games 5 & 7 lost this series for us.

Its hard to know where to go from here with all the NMC's, but one storyline I find ridiculous is that this falls squarely on Gallant. 5 of his top 6 forwards combined for 6 goals in 7 games. Take away Tarasenko's 3 and 4 of his top 6 forwrds combined for 3 goals. Take away Kane because he had points, and its Mika, Bread and Trocheck (top 2 paid centres and top paid winger all with NMC's) combined for 2 goals through the entire series.

No matter what Gallant "adjusted", you aren't winning when those statistics hold true.

 

[ReddestRum]

So I'm curious.. are we gunning for another pointless run or do we commit to a rebuild?

Happened to DQ too. I feel like Panarin is the problem.
