Post-Game Talk: Game # 34 Rangers @ Capitals - 12pm - NBC

[will1066]

Kakko had a sneaky shot. Kreider just missed a breakaway. Did I miss any scoring chances?

Laf just had a tap-in chance

 

[duhmetreE]

Shooting the puck and going to scoring areas = good things.

We don't do any of that consistently... and we're sleepwalking

 

[Doctyl]

Did they just say 4 minuets of icetime for laf?

4:06. Only Gauthier has less

 

[Glen Sathers Cigar]

While true, he is a career scrub. Im not going to expect more.

It’s why starting him is dumb. He had a few good games while Igor was out and Georgiev sucks too. But we need Georgiev to get his shit together, Kinkaid isn’t realistic option to rely on even as a back up.

If we’re trying to develop and nurture our players, Georgiev should be starting to get him out of his funk and let him get his game back.

If you solely care about winning, start Igor regardless of whether it’s a back to back.

Kinkaid starting serves us well from no angle.

 

[EdJovanovski]

yeah would be hilarious to see him take the Rocket from the Golden boys up north

If Ovi was up North he might get 50 goals in 50 games lol

This gif is longer then Laf’s icetime today

 

[Anthony5967]

Wonder what Gauthier did to get benched this game...


f*** quinn

He needs to see more of that fourth line that’s minus one at least a game. He’s the worst coach in hockey. He’s a complete and utter moron.

 

[duhmetreE]

Laf just had a tap-in chance

wasn't taht Gauthier? always get them confused

 

[Doctyl]

I don’t care if Laf isn’t playing well, this isn’t how you coach a 1st overall pick

 

[DialUp]

It is so easy for teams when they just have to take two players out of a game offensively and not worry about anyone else. Wash and Pitt got the goods to do it.

 

[The Crypto Guy]

This isn't a Quinn issue tonight, this team has looked awful in back to backs this year, and I'm not at all defending Quinn in general.

If the team continues to look terrible in back to backs isnt that on the head coach who cant seem to get them ready for the 2nd game?

 

[BBKers]

Time to get drunk

That train leftt he station long ago

 

[CasusBelli]

Laf just had a tap-in chance

Surely he scored.

Rats. Not April 1 yet.

 

[DuneGoon84]

Here comes another lifeless power play

Washington play that diamond defense on PK pretty good. They wont deviate. I hope we score but unless we move that puck lightning fast we wont score.

 

[Black Aces]

Im so tired of "we had no chances because (insert team) is good defensively"

 

[RiffyNYR61]

We aren't losing because of Kinkaid. We're losing because we cannot generate any offense.

Meh, both.

 

[Number 9]

Needed this right now.

 

[Fataldogg]

Lafreniere with 4-minutes in two periods. Good development for your 19-year old first overall pick.

Can't believe the one time we hit the lottery and draft 1st overall, Quinn ruins his confidence in less than a full season.

You need to play them for better or worse. I understand I've been tough on Lafreniere saying he needs to earn it, but he will never develop with his insignificant ice time. Every prospect has growing pains, give them the chance.

 

[Leonardo87]

Try and get a goal this period, and go into the 3rd, down only 1-3. Still plenty of hockey left.

 

[will1066]

This team needs defenders or the defenders they have to get better.

We have a fantastic pair playing 27 minutes but then we have to get 33 minutes out of a replacement level pair and an ECHL pair.

I don't know why we don't go with Miller-Fox and Lindgren-Trouba.

That would just water down both Fox and Lindgren

 

[Glen Sathers Cigar]

4:06. Only Gauthier has less

Fantastic coaching by Quinn. Need Blackwell and DiGi to have more ice time than Laf, absolutely.

 

[tellermine]

Seems that Quinn is losing team.
Drive is all but gone.
Sure nice solo performances but thats about it.

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

TOUGHEST DIVISION! NO PRESEASON!

 

[Tob]

It's very clear what we're seeing. Quinn is too dogmatic, strict, and stifling offensively.

He leaves and the team scores 9 in 2 periods then goes on a great run offensively.

He gets back then BAM! 5 shots a period. Players gripping their sticks, feeling Quinn breathing down their necks, reluctant to play offense to avoid being "taught" more Quinnology.

 

[CasusBelli]

How do you keep getting outnumbered on the PP? This has been a motif all season. How does this happen!
