A little Russian chat

"Get me out of here", but in Russian - Shesty

Interesting breakout. Lindgren behind the net and all 3 forwards not even in the picture.

Hailing of the Mary's

Laf has looked horrible. At this point I would send him down to Hartford. Give him more minutes. Let him marinate for next year.

His skating suggests he considers himself the focal point of his line. But he isn’t. How does the coach not note this or address it? And, if he does, what does that say about Laf?

 

[MetalJaws]

I only watch Laf when he's on the ice. Stands still a lot. Watches the play still instead of joining it. Does Quinn even watch tape?? He's been doing it since day one.

Have a conversation and show him what he's doing wrong. It's insane that Laf still is never in a play.

 

[SRHRangers]

Miller has a howlizer

 

[Kane One]

Did Kravtsov’s ELC slide or are the Rangers totally wasting his cost-controlled years?

I believe it slides

edit - I don’t think it slides

 

[Baby Duck Homme]

Miller had a lot of runway to take the puck to the net.

 

[duhmetreE]

KAM had a lot of room

 

[pld459666]

Miller had room to walk that down the slot for a better shot

He can’t go to the AHL because he is 19 and his junior team is currently operating. It’s NHL or QMJHL until next season.

 

[Harbour Dog]

Our start to this game ruined the taste of my burritos.

 

[SML2]

Sorry I'm late... So...
A DQ team comes out unprepaired,
Rooney takes a stupid O zone penalty that would have sent some players to the bench for the rest of the night, but doesn't miss a shift,
K'Andre gets danced by noted dangler Nic Dowd because the guy won't play the body to save his life.

Did I miss anything?

 

[The Crypto Guy]

Should be 5-0 if it wasnt for Igor

 

[Megustaelhockey]

God bless Sam Rosen for trying to make this exciting.

 

[dangsLITE]

goat has looked better and more engaged than laf for weeks now

 

[MysticLeviathan]

too many men warshington it looked

 

[Chalfdiggity3]

I get Quinn's strategy now!

Its "If we go down early, it makes for a more dramatic come from behind victory!"

 

[Machinehead]

He's played his whole life like that. You can't change it in 30-some odd games.

The coach should coach.

 

[LokiDog]

We look like my college practice squad playing the mid season Capitals.

 

[Baby Duck Homme]

Laviolette looking like a young Francesa

LOL the refs gift us a PP to try to save this game before it gets out of hand

He didnt do this the first couple of games. It happened later.

It's not just one coach, its Quinn, his staff, JG, and JD. It would be such an organizational failure if they aren't saying anything.

What does it say about the org if they think this is all OK though?

 

[RickChartraw]

didn't we have the puck?

It was a good shot and choice to get it off quickly on the one timer before the goalie could get fully set.
