That actually wasn't a bad PP.

Getting outgoaltended hard in this game.

If the ship is heading for the iceberg, and you want to hit the iceberg, why change the ships pilot?

Ask the passengers of the Titanic, or the wild life of the Exxon Valdez.

 

[Daves a mess]

You know when your team is in REAL trouble?

When you throw out solutions that you KNOW are shit, because deep down you are well aware that the problems are too numerous to plug with 10 fingers.

Man up period here.

We are aware that Trotz torpedoed Barzals offsense in NY so he's not going to do any good for Laf or any of our offensively inclined top guys.

The point of changing a coach is to avoud changing all the players. By getting Trotz you'll need to end up changing all our players because Zibanejad/Kreider/Panarin/Laf will all struggle under his system.

Trocheck/Chytil/Kakko/Goodrow would be our top guys under Trotz which leaves us no better off.

Trotz won 1 cup in WSH. other than that he's coach mediocre make playoffs easy out teams in NSH and gotten great goaltending from Sorokin/Varlamov in NY to make 3 conference finals and lose in all 3 cause his system doesn't promote offense, which you eventually need to outscore opponents 3-2 when games get tight.

I'll never understand the obsession with Trotz

I don't care what Trotz did to individual players or their stats.

He wins. That is his job. To win. He does it better than literally any other coach in the NHL. Just win.

 

[I Eat Crow]

Everyone that wants Quenneville or Trotz is in for a rude awakening when it ends up being Bob Hartley

Honestly I'd welcome it. Bob Hartley is a certified psychopath lol

 

[Machinehead]

And the Kid Line is back already.

 

[Kords]

NOW he shoots... when the perfect 1 timer is right there hahaha

 

[Jaromir Jagr]

As much as I'd like to see them come back in this game, it's best they lose until Gallant is fired.

 

[Clark Kellogg]

Trocheck out next game, Gallant goes with 7 d.

And the Kid Line is back already.

Shifts after special teams don't count

Getting outgoaltended hard in this game.

I remember when we used to do that to opposing teams

 

[RangersFan]

Could one of our busts do something un-bust like?

 

[Kords]

there are about 4 different forwards on the Devils who bury that chance Kakko just had.

 

[Machinehead]

Shifts after special teams don't count

I'm counting it. Gallant gets nothing.

 

[Kane One]

Could one of our busts do something un-bust like?

No

 

[Kovalev27]

We need to be drafting more guys that can skate like chytil and less guys like kakko kravtsov Andersson.

By the way got news for everyone. Othmann can’t skate either.

 

[irishlaxburger2]

Shifts after special teams don't count

They'll score a meaningless goal in the late 3rd as we lose 6-3, and Gallant will use that as justification to keep them together for the next month.

I don't care what Trotz did to individual players or their stats.

He wins. That is his job. To win. He does it better than literally any other coach in the NHL. Just win.

He's coached 20 years and won 1 cup. We've already had our window from 2011-2015 with 3 ECF r SCF losses.

I don't csre if Trotz gets us to ECF 20 years in a row when he'll only get us 1 Cup. Theres such a recency bias with Trotz because he won with a seemingly impossible to win with Caps to get them over hump.

A Devils legend is an ideal fit for the Rangers’ coach

If the Rangers are seeking a coach who can teach while re-establishing a no-nonsense culture and hard-edged identity on Broadway, then management should simply look across the river to where Scott …

PP1 does not deserve the full two minutes anymore and they don't really deserve to be a permanent five man unit that can't be altered. Last season yes, this season, no. Time to switch it up. So long as those five clowns know they're going to get entire two minute power plays to waste nothing is going to change with the team.

 

[Profet]

This team needs a Tortorella type coach.

 

[hackeyman]

No coach can fix this mess of a roster. Or cover up a goalie who turned into a pumpkin.

Goalies are a strange bunch. Something got into his head. He's not the same Shesty. Just look at his posture even.....and how he's playing the puck out of his crease......no swagger , no confidence.

Unironically would make me stop being a Rangers fan

Yeah. Yell at them. Make them cry. Embarrass them in front of the media.

That's the ticket.

He had a kid and probably isn't sleeping at home. That's my guess.
