Post-Game Talk: Game #27: New York Rangers vs Toronto Maple Leafs, 7pm ET, MSG

[RangersFan1994]

One good game where they corrected the course and then they already reverted back. Mental issues or just a lack of will.

Soft mentally. A little of both.

Both. Our best players take too many nights off.

Whatever happens the rest of this game, please learn how to play the body and not these low T stick checks

And please someone other than Trouba do the “wake up the team” big hit. Some other guys need to play that game too

 

[will1066]

We have too many players thar have subpar shooting. Needs to be rectified. When you keep creating so many quality chances, you should have more goals than this

“Why stop and freeze the puck, when I can try to deflect pucks into the corner and have the rebounds go right in front of me and right into the crease?”

[I Eat Crow]

I think that's the idea, they show them this and go, "SEE, you don't have it so bad after all do you?!"

I'm going to hell for snort laughing at this.

If you can't cry you laugh, right?

 

[Brutananadilewski]

You're being very optimistic.

You're saying he won't make the save?

 

[Megustaelhockey]

OK for the Leafs.

Great road period for the Leafs. This game is a test for them. Their record is deceiving with how many extra-inning wins they have, so they wanted to know if they could compete with a team above them in the standings.

Spoiler alert: they can when that team does not bother to work.

 

[Richard Banger]

And this is why you don’t pay big bucks for high end goaltending. Just blow the money on good D and good forwards.

Now we get all kinds of TSN and Sportsnet bodily fluids raining on us the next couple of days. Best part.

SN Toronto radio was really talking up Rangers today. Jeff Marik said if you are not watching the Rangers you should be.

The stick checks are cancerous

3rd line and 4th line working hard. top line creating. Kreider and Zibanejad just out for a skate making soft plays on the puck expecting the puck to be on a string for a big lolapalooza big monitor highlight reel goal. Jonny B skates to the middle of the ice to score a PP goal but Zibanejad won't even move his feet to accept a shot on the PP and just stands there and expects a perfect dish so he can feel like a man with his big one time shot 5 feet wide of the net.

Panarin line is pretty f***ing bad in the defensive zone, which I suppose shouldn’t be a surprise but I’m starting to wonder if they need to start shuffling wingers around.

 

[effen]

Why is this f***ing pansy ass team so afraid to f***ing hit?

Careful, you'll have people telling you the team is plenty gritty and it's totally not a problem.

 

[Brutananadilewski]

Guys, the team isn't playing up to snuff because they played last night and there is a bug going around.

...Wait...

 

[CasusBelli]

So we all hope he decides to storms to the locker room during a game and request a trade? We all agree on this right.

I’m cool with it. He had one good year and is mentally fragile. If anything, I’d just wait for his value to go up, but again — he reminds me of Tommy Salo for those exact reasons.

 

[Megustaelhockey]

SN Toronto radio was really talking up Rangers today. Jeff Marik said if you are not watching the Rangers you should be.

The Leafs are one of the most over-exposed teams in all of sports. If you spoke English in Canada pre-expansion and lived outside of Montreal, they're the team you followed. That illness is generational.

I feel awful for the fan bases of VAN, OTT, CGY, WPG, and EDM as a result.

 

[savebyrichter94]

For $100 you get to throw shit at Shesty and see if he can stop it

 

[mrmovies779]

Igor isn't to blame.Look at the grade A chance after chance they've gotten.No goalie is making those saves.The entire team has been soft and pathetic in front of him..that 1st goal on the delayed penalty a perfect example..Nylander skated through 4 f***ing Rangers to set up Mathews for the goal.

 

[Graves97]

Jones needs to go. We need an actual top 6 RW.

The minute they signed gustafsson, jones became redundant and should have been traded. Can’t have 3 smallish offensive defenseman that have the strength of a 12 year old and expect to compete. Add miller who despite his size is very passive.

 

[EdJovanovski]

All his fault!!!

 

[LaffyTaffy13]

This Toronto team isn’t exactly killers and we looked scared to touch them besides our 4th line

This ranger team is incredibly soft. Its a culture issue at this point.

They simply dont care that much. Few guys do like vesey, troch and laff but mika and kreider would rather tap the opposition with an atta boy than dare push them

 

[17futurecap]

The home grown pair of Jones and Schneider.

 

[ReleasO The KakkO]

Imagine needing 7 or more goals to win a game (unless Lavi gets Quick in there to start the second)…

 

[Gordon Bombay]

The stick checks are cancerous

At least the boys are buying into Garden of Dreams night

 

[CasusBelli]

Why is this f***ing pansy ass team so afraid to f***ing hit?

Want to see a Trouba hit on Marner or Nylander. Love Nylander, but we need to send a message.
