Post-Game Talk: Game #28 Rangers vs Flyers 03/17/2021

So we still coming for Quinn to be fired? Asking for the board.

Wasn’t behind the bench today. Muy Interesante

 

[Kane One]

I normally don’t go to other boards, but I had to see what they were thinking, and obviously it was as bad as I expected.

But this is a gem from there:

 

[bobbop]

1. Knoblauch
2. Drury
3. Myers (looked like a turnstile out there)

 

[Rempe73]

Only 1 joke vote by @Mandar tonight? That’s how you know we were beyond fantastic tonight.

 

[Glen Sathers Cigar]

Pretty sure Mika reads HF boards on his phone during the intermission. At the end of the first I said I was fed up with him and then he had a 6 point second period. It’s pretty clear he read my post and that motivated him to get his shit together.

PM me for my Venmo so you can all send me gifts as thanks.

 

[Synergy27]

Did AV happen to express any pride in his team not letting this game get too ugly?

 

[ohbaby]

Yea could have been 7-2 lol

We were up 2-0 in the first. It would have been 2-1 or 2-2 if it weren't for Georgie. And who knows,... might have been an entirely different game after that.

 

[Rempe73]

I need to see the AV postgame presser NOW

“We had some good looks.”
“If we had more consistent goaltending, then...you know, we may have had a chance.”
“We need more toughness. Is Tanner Glass still playing in this league?”

Been there

So, David. What would you say, you do here?

Congrats to Mika for finally buying a smartphone on this glorious March 17, 2021.

I get that it's only two points, but the game has the potential to be a symbolic turnaround point if this team goes on a run in the second half of the season.

Fingers crossed.

 

[Priorae]

Need a cigarette after that game. Best in years.

 

[Larrybiv]

Pretty damned sure, this was one of the most "satisfying" Rangers victories in a very long time. The opponent was one thing, the SCORE just added to the pleasure. Oh yeah, and btw the "Mika show" that I had predicted was the "Trifecta".

I am ONE happy Rangers fan tonight!
I will sleep VERY WELL! THANKS.

 

[Glen Sathers Cigar]

One way to make sure Georgie doesn’t shit the bed and lose us the game is to score 9 goals.


Kidding, he was good tonight.

No post game sucks

At least GingerPapa is here

Fingers crossed.

This does have all the makings of a turning point. Zibs from the first period, looked like 2019 Zibs. He was slicing in all over the place and had some get up. Is it a coincidence? I dont care tbh as long as the team builds on it.

Maybe the coaching staff 're-evaluates' some aspects to their approach with their press-box home-TV perspective

Fingers crossed.

I would say the shutout in Boston. They actually played a much better game that day.

So we still coming for Quinn to be fired? Asking for the board.

Not recently on that bandwagon, but jeez.....kind of makes you think otherwise. Did they play well BECAUSE they were trying to win in his absence, OR did they play well despite him NOT being there.......proving they don't want him, and they could do it without him. I dunno.

 

[Tob]

Quinn is take it or leave it at this point. He's ran out his shelf life for teaching. He's taught what he's got.

What this performance says is the players are over coached. One game without Quinn where Knob is just there managing the bench and Dru watching, the players are clearing their heads and playing freely.

If it even has any significance, I would put my money on them feeling less pressure to not make a mistake and get bumped all over the linup or benched for stretches

My sentiment exactly. This is the most talented roster the Rangers have had in 25 years. Teach the kids in practice, but otherwise just let this team play and watch games like tonight's happen.

This one felt good.

I didnt watch this game live, had to watch it around 9PM. I saw threads on the main forum saying Rangers win 9-0 without coaching staff, and I could have sworn it would be a troll thread [I try to stay away from the Rangers forum if I start a game late -- I normally assume that the main forum is fair game because we rarely do noteworthy things]. I decided not to click on it, if it happened, I wanted to see it with my own eyes... and holy crap. It was not a troll thread, it really happened.

1. Zibenejad
2. Buchnevich
3. Quinn for not being behind the bench

I hope this jump starts Zibenejad. He was electric tonight.

In typical AV fashion, Flyers defense was atrocious and their goalies couldn't come up with big saves.

Still think Zibenejad scoring 5 against the Caps and getting the winner in OT is the best game of his career, but I'll gladly take this one. Absolute crazy game.
