bitching about goaltending lol. how about that big useless hit Trouba tried to throw that led to a 2 on 1 on the 4th goal? or the horrific pass Bonino made in the neutral zone that led to the last goal? fix that shit first.

Another rebound by Shesterkin. I have no faith in this guy.

He had a baby so it'll take a couple years to get back to vezina form lol

 

[Richard Banger]

Honestly, forget about money. I'm just tired over being frustrated because Igor is wasting his talent. I'd rather get an average goalie that can't be anything better than average. Igor CAN be elite. He just has a terrible mental makeup. Waste of a HOF talent.

To be fair Russian goalies are pretty notorious for having great talent and just falling flat on their face. For every Vasi there is 10 bobs

 

[zukeisgone]

Edstrom up Bone out

 

[TominNC]

This one sucks

 

[gabevh3]

Excuse me during the intermission while I go pour myself a glass of Liquid Plumr on the rocks.

So alcohol?

How about getting beat cleaned 5 hole when all the skater had was the 5 hole available

Kreider has been good in this game. Plenty of times this year where hes warranted criticism but this isn't one of them.

The coach's devotion to shit players is a big reason why we are where we are right now. If you play shit players, don't be surprised when you get shit results.

Unfortunately there are too many shit players right now. 1/3 of the forwards that's way too many.
Hard to play Panarin/Laf/Trocheck 25 minutes in game 39.

Shesty hasn't been making highlight saves recently.

Quick has.

 

[INWOODBLUE]

Rangers need to be active in the trading period. They need to get an elite center. They have some bodies to move to make cap room. It can be done. Drury has done it before.

 

[savebyrichter94]

Might be something else of theirs in their butts…

The defense has been atrocious but Igor is supposed to be a difference maker. What’s his save % on scoring chances tonight, 30%? So it’s not like it’s totally his fault but he is part of the problem. He’s inconsistent and he’s been a head case the past two seasons.

 

[huerter]

I’m making a post game thread for people who don’t want to talk about line combos and personnel changes. Fight me.

Yeah I think mentally he gets checked out when he gives up a certain amount of goals. Vally has said that this year. Shesty is an incredible competitor but he just loses it after he gives up a bunch.

 

[Profet]

Go do a libero on Othmann on the 5th goal. It’s Mount Rushmore worthy.

Kids are going to have gaffes.

Especially when you sit them for most of the game don't let them get into the flow of a game...

Or if you play them with more different linemates than they have minutes played in the game.

 

[INWOODBLUE]

I would give Othamann more minutes. Let's see what he can do.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

Yet I'm the clown.

Who can they move to create even a reasonable amount of space? Only Goodrow.

 

[Glen Sathers Cigar]

They’re getting embarrassed btw. Vancouver is pulling open hockey moves like they’re a cat playing with their food. It’s one thing to lose but to play like this on home ice from everyone right down to Igor is a joke.

 

[MysticLeviathan]

Shesty hasn't been making highlight saves recently.

Quick has.

he had a couple in this period alone.

 

[INWOODBLUE]

OK that's a start.

 

[GENESISPuck94]

We are thin at quality forwards coming into the season and now we are down 2 more to injury. Not a ton can be done except go back to acquiring more young long term talent instead of less.

And please give Cyulle and Othmann more ice time. Especially Cyulle who's busted his ass on this roster all season and deserves a shot in the top 6. Move Wheeler down to the 3rd or 4th line and give Cyulle a shot.

How? Who? With what assets and cap room?

 

[Whoot Whoot]

Fox looks lost out there

We're a slow-ass team trying to play a skill game that's getting feasted on by actual fast and skilled teams. We move pretty well in the offensive zone. That's when our players are "having fun" and getting their jollies. All other parts of their game is slow, from the breakouts to the back passes trying to retain possession to the horrible transition coverage.
