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

[Machinehead]

That period sucked after the third goal, but like, yeah. It's deflating.

Granted the third goal was their best chance but the second goal was just a ridiculous goal to give up. It's a different game if that third goal is 2-1 instead of 3-1.

The stick checks are cancerous

The thing that's always on their minds is freeing the puck to go on transition. But that's not every single damn defensive situation. Sometimes you have to play defense for defense's sake.

Just checked the score. What the f***z

It’s a shame Henrik retired. He’d be an upgrade right now.

 

[nevesis]

Rangers will talk about it and regroup. They know that was the worst period they’ve played all season.

Come out and pound these clowns in the 2nd and 3rd.

 

[KOVALEV022473]

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

Seriously! Truba and Cullye are the only ones that f***ing hit anybody. That second goal doesn’t happen if they take the body.

 

[Megustaelhockey]

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

Are they coming here to win? Or are they coming here to be young millionaires in NYC? To paint? To DJ? To do whatever other horseshit isn't what they're getting paid for?

It's not in the top 5.

Igor is a mental midget. Can't underestimate Hank's legendary intestinal fortitude. His drive is a big part of his success, not just technical skill

All his fault!!!

Rebound control sucks. That's been the criticism I've had for him all year. 3rd goal is the epitome.

Trouba needs to start targeting jaws. It's ridiculous there's just no one else in our lineup with some of that DNA. Ideally you'd want a 3rd or 4th liner with some of that. Bonino is nice and Pitlick is a hybrid but sucks we don't have a maniac on the 4th line who can throw a few high hits.

 

[Profet]

Please change up the lines. Please.

I don't want Trouba feeding the Canadian media's bullshit narrative.

I must have missed it but why is Miller out?

I must have missed it but why is Miller out?

Personal reasons.

 

[hardnosed]

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.

There's definitely something to that. If Miller misses the next game, might as well give Robertson a shot.

 

[mrmovies779]

Please change up the lines. Please.

Lines won't matter if they continue to play soft and turn the puck over

 

[will1066]

Fil, please come back already

 

[Tob]

I don't want Trouba feeding the Canadian media's bullshit narrative.

Oh well, small price to pay

 

[INWOODBLUE]

Personal reasons.

Hmmm....I hope he's ok.

[Profet]

Expect an early game management call in favor of the Rangers...

I hate it... But the NHL is going to NHL... If we don't get a goal there... Things will get ugly.

 

[Stone97Ace]

Igor needs to Netflix and chill with Benoit for a couple weeks. The team also needs to get over themselves.

I'm boycotting this game for personal reasons.
