Post-Game Talk: Game 22: New York Rangers @ Philadelphia Flyers, 1pm ET, MSG2

[Matt Rentfree]

Any coach worth his salt should.

I dunno - put Miller on a team with an actual defensive system that the players actually play, I bet he's a decent 2nd paring guy.

 

[hardnosed]

Then move him with collateral.

Screw him. Pick a team on his list and just get it done

Have to agree. Last year, he would have tried to take somebody's head off. This year, he doesn't give a bleep. Been some talk out there that the Drury memo has had the opposite effect in the locker room.

 

[HFBS]

Also Igor robbing couturier and not a single f***ing player even taps his pads, they all peeled off and skated away.

They shouldn't have let Couturier in the crease in the first place.

I bet you lose.

I bet you lose.

Maybe someday we'll find out.

 

[Brutananadilewski]

f*** these entitled scrubs. I wake-up to a hangover and I'm greeted with this on my phone?!

No. f*** that! Bourbon it is.

 

[Paulie Walnutz]

I guess Drury forgot to turn off morale mode before the season. Hopefully fog of war isn’t on either

 

[BleedBlueNYR]

you all actually believed the report that there were multiple teams interested in acquiring Trouba over the summer? Lol

I actually believe the idiot Red Wings were interested. Yzerman should be fired if they miss the playoffs again.

 

[WojtekWolski86]

True signs when times are bad. Even Joe can't keep up the positive charade.

 

[Ratelleitlikeitis]

Will the slow start be blamed on turkey or because they don't give a F anymore.

Elements of both apparently…and it’s not just the team either.

 

[bleedblue94]

Again, as I said the events of the past 6 months have developed an internal organizational battle between the players and the management. The management thinks it has the upperhand, but the players with their clauses have shown they are in charge and this has now snowballed into the on ice product. Trouba was the closest thing to an emotional leader of the team and the org alienated him with the events of the summer. Trouba would be the one to galvanized the group and pull them together but he has checked out and is not going to do that work when he knows he's gone after this season. Drury went amateur and arrogant this summer and it's all showing now.

I’m amazed Igor is not asking for a trade. In his place I would not be asking for a contract that could make me the next ‘greatest goalie to never win a cup.’

 

[Baby Duck Homme]

Charlie Lindgren doing his best 55 impression. Needs a bigger helmet though.

 

[Boris Zubov]

Well if the trade rumors were sent out there to wake them up that plan backfired.

Big time.

Even though I have my doubts that Drury sent an actual "email" to every team. GMs don't operate that way...regardless, leaking those names out was just f***ing stupid. Not only did he risk alienating the entire team, he killed any leverage in potential deals. Asinine.

 

[Bob Richards]

Teams would absolutely trade for Trouba, not sure about now but before the season no doubt about it.

They still absolutely would now. This is the NHL. The collective mind power of the GMs/coaches in this league haven't had an original/creative thought since 1996.

 

[SML2]

Imagine Trouba getting an 8 minute shift on d lmao? Look I’m not on board with firing Lavi it’s not his fault but if he’s not going to start benching or scratching guys then his ass needs to go. Zero accountability.

If you gave Trouba an 8 minute shift it wouldn't matter. There would be three post goal against faceoffs at center ice and he would have spent at least 2 minutes in the box for hooking.

 

[Paulie Walnutz]

 

[ArPanet]

The 90s had the Czechmates. We have the Checkedouts.

The first shift?

 

[Killem Dafoe]

Wow, this is like...bad.

 

[Baby Duck Homme]

Knicks suck.

Football sucks.

Watch Soto sign with the Dodgers.

Happy holidays!

 

[mxyxptlk]

And what was with the team standing around watching Panarin face off with the entire Flyers team after that little dustup with Hathaway.

Respectfully, 2/3rds of this picture work their bags off. The other is looking for the exit already.

 

[bleedblue94]

Why would he need a trade? He can just refuse to sign and then pick his team this summer without having to uproot himself this season.

 

[gabevh3]

If I’m Igor I just walk off the rink and never come back.

I'm surprised some players have not asked to be traded .
