What happened to this team?

Honestly? Not much. The injuries didn't help but they were always playing above their heads for the first part if the season. Noone thought we were the best team in the league, and it was expected we'd be in the bottom half of the play-off seeding which still looks extremely likely

 

[mrmovies779]

Is it too late to sell?

 

[tlk]

we're a defensive disaster. Need discipline. Hopeful for a Kakko and Chyt comeback.
Lavi needs to figure this out.

this game is up for grabs still

 

[DuneGoon84]

Who Here didn't think Oshie would score against us today? This guy kills us everytime...

 

[Whoot Whoot]

Trouba what ya thinking there bud

 

[Kovalev27]

Have they tuned out the coach already? Team needs a major shakeup. Miller and Kreider are totally lost.

The structure is gone. Don’t see laviolette hockey anymore looks like last years team

 

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

Have they tuned out the coach already? Team needs a major shakeup. Miller and Kreider are totally lost.

I think most of us are now agreed that it's not a "coach problem".

 

[Oscar Lindberg]

what happened to the game I love?

 

[BleedBlueNYR]

This is the same team they’ve always been. New coaching staff didn’t change who they are.

 

[Breaded Fox]

Quick has been horrendous.

Igor would have given up 4 in the first.

 

[Jaromir Jagr]

not like shitsterkin has been any better this season

Igor's been terrible. Quick has been worse than bad Igor today. His handling of the puck cost them on the 2nd goal and I literally don't know what happened on that last play.

All time ladies and gentlemen, these are my readers.

No clue what this means....

 

[Killem Dafoe]

Trying so hard to stay positive right now.

 

[DanielBrassard]

This is not unsurprising. Team isn’t that good. Especially with the injuries. Their rush defense has been horrific for most of the season, they don’t have a legit 1st line. Is what it is.

 

[mrmovies779]

Who knew...problem with this team wasn't coaching afterall

 

[hardnosed]

Fox has been bad outside of his goals and Trouba could not have possibly done less on that.

I don't know how many times in the past couple of weeks where both defenseman on the ice make the absolute worse play at the same time.

 

[Mike in Houston]

This team makes me drink.

 

[Daves a mess]

Must of been some New Years Eve Party the Rangers threw.

 

[gabevh3]

I think Quick is hiding a groin injury sustained earlier after making a save

 

[Guyute]

That was basically a 3 on 1 after Fox’s absolutely heinous turnover. That’s what happens when you’re trying to cover two guys. You’re nuts if you think that’s Troubas fault.

 

[effen]

Need this roster to go f*** off. I want a harder to play against team. NYC deserves it. NYers are not soft.

No no here's some gaslighting about its actually fine because something something reasons lying eyes heres a win-o-meter what about this chart here HAVE A CHART.

 

[mike14]

what happened to the game I love?

Nothing. Hungry Hungry Hippos is still as good as it's always been

 

[Jaromir Jagr]

I think most of us are now agreed that it's not a "coach problem".

My point wasn't to fire the coach. It's that the player personnel has a serious issue.

 

[will1066]

This team really lives and dies with Panarin.

And he's barely alive today

 

[Flan the incredible]

This team needs a shakeup. Trade, benching, whatever....

 

[Machinehead]

Finally Miller just hit the f***ing guy. Do more of that.
