Post-Game Talk: Game 4

[Sayba]

We

I wonder if Trouba will have PTSD after these couple of games seeing the red light go on so much.

He was hilariously out of position on the OT goal. You have to worry about guys in the middle of the ice / down low as a defenseman.

It's sad that Chytil needs to be health managed. Just sad.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

I’m glad you know the inner workings of his emotions

Just look at his face and look at his play.

 

[HockeyBasedNYC]

3 game series.

Absolutely have to have game 5 at home.

They need to be a shit ton better though

 

[rangersfansince08]

Whether we take this series or not will be 100% a reflection of whether our core group is good enough.

Narrator: they weren't

 

[ecemleafs]

They played scared....the constant pressure has them seeing ghosts. Plus they refuse to skate with the puck even with open ice in front of them. They keep throwing hail mary passes from blueline to blueline that keep getting intercepted & the Cats are back in our zone within 5 seconds. If this doesn't change, they could be teeing it up next week.

jones would be a far better option against this team than most of the players in our d corps right now.

 

[HatTrick Swayze]

It’s not really close. Zibanejad and the usual suspects on D are just completely overmatched in their respective roles.

Officiating also playing a huge role. If the rules were enforced as written could be a different story.

 

[GbgRanger]

It was obvious to everyone Mika was going to try that pass

 

[Bob Richards]

Nobody gets dominated like this and closes anyone out.

Yeah I've been annoyingly positive and steady all postseason but this is dreadful.

In like 99% of circumstances I'd be thrilled about splitting the away games but These past two matches have been incredible ass kickings that we somehow snuck one away.

 

[SeanAveryTheGreatOne]

As soon as we outplayed them in the first period, I knew we were going to lose this game.

 

[rangersfansince08]

wasting prime Igor years

 

[lakeshirts37]

Look guys no matter what happens, Mika has run his course with this team. I really feel he is our biggest problem. Our number 1 center cannot be this much of an emo bitch no show soft wannabe hockey player more concerned with whether Daft Punk is getting back together.

100%. You need an alpha dog 1C to win a cup. He’s not even close. Get rid of him

 

[DialUp]

Still had fun with this run, regardless. It stinks right now, but hey, we could be the canes fans.

Future looks weird to me. Thursday still is going to happen, feels so whatever in this moment

 

[BroadwayStorm]

Whats frustrating is our big guns dont seem to care. They are not hustling enough. They don't want it badly enough. I don't want guys like that on my team.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

Mika is not built for NY. We need guys like Tkachuk. Not this p***y. Get him the f*** off this team

I'm sure Columbus can use a DJ. He needs to go somewhere where they don't play important games.

 

[zlev]

Mika absolutely blew the game but he was not soft in this game. countless times he played the body to save a goal while the dogshit defensemen were getting pummeled into next week.

 

[PuckLuck3043]

Who was it in the game thread who told me "Give him a chance?" But let's face it, why was he in the ice? Lavi trying to shift momentum? I dunno. But at this point we have a lot of players failing individually.

I did. Would like Brodzinski in instead? We are talking about a 4th liner.

 

[17futurecap]

This isn’t getting you to the promise land.

 

[qwertyaas]

Why are you guys like this?

Our PK has been excellent in general. Trouba and Lindgren were out for goals against because of that, you know, the job they've been doing very well.

We were bad. Zibanejad had a particularly awful game. We are 6 wins from the Stanley Cup and everyone seems to think our whole team is rubbish

They played an absolutely embarrassing game.

Couldn't complete passes.

Couldn't keep up with line mates.

Couldn't keep up with Florida.

Couldn't create any sustained pressure.

Couldn't get unpinned from their zone.

They have played like garbage 3 out of the 4 games this series and looked ok in one of the games. 2 of the 3 bad games they looked like an AHL team playing an all star team. If they lose they lose, but at least show some fight. Stop making brain dead plays because you’re scared to take a hit.

 

[Brutananadilewski]

If Lavy had the balls, he would sit Mika out for Game 5.

 

[ecemleafs]

for the life of me i dont know how we can play a relatively even period or even one where we out play florida and then the very next period get absolutely pummeled like its USSR v romania.

 

[Ruggs225]

Watching the lavi presser. Can someone ask him about trouba/miller?

 

[Boris Zubov]

Maybe if the games were officiated evenly…

Maybe if the league’s broadcast partner didn’t have an obvious bias…

I’m shocked this is actually 2-2. It is beyond ridiculous how obvious the league and ESPN want the Rangers eliminated.

I’m not going to get into Mika and his failure to show up. I could write a novel.

I’m just beyond annoyed that Ranger fans have to watch a national broadcast that is so one-sided.

The coverage was a f***ing disgrace. Harping on the Trouba elbow like it was deflategate. Just a total clown show that ended with McDonagh cumming in his pants. f*** them all sideways.

 

[CLW]

On what planet can anyone watch Trouba-miller and continue to leave the together. I’m at a loss for words.

Truly deserves to be fired for this single decision despite all the good I believe he’s done this year

I said it before the playoffs began. Lavi will go down with the ship with that boat anchor Tuba tied around his neck rather than playing with the D that has a prayer of moving the puck meaningfully.
