Post-Game Talk: Game 5

[Machinehead]

Depth is depth and from a holistic view means little. Depth players chip in and support. The big money guys are expected to bring results. These guys are staying because they're unmoveable. But at some point, running it back doesn't work anymore and hard decisions need to be made about breaking up the buddies and redistribute their ice time

Our depth doesn't chip in and support.

We have five good forwards and we're sitting here aghast that we're not beating the best team in the league.

And people have the actual audacity to sit here in the real world on God's green internet and tell me that the solution is to remove one or more of those five.

Why he refuses to get Laffy out there for 20+ minutes & give him PP1 time is baffling. It's not like the PP is lighting it up, it clearly could use a jolt.

Plus he never makes in game adjustments....Trouba & Gus should've played 10 mins max tonight.

He had a good regular season, but he's been a Gallant clone this postseason.

It seems like Trouba-Anyone with a pulse pairing is going to f***ing suck.

 

[Hunter Gathers]

Also, FWIW, I wanted Guentzel and I do think we’d be past Florida with him. I’m still frustrated about that f*** up.

 

[The Crypto Guy]

A shutout in the playoffs against the pres trophy team is a shutout in the playoffs. Still waiting for our superstar goalie to figure out how to do it. I don't care if he faces 80 shots. You cannot keep giving up 2+ goals to a very average Florida offense

“Very average offense”

Looks at standings and see’s them with 4 less points than us. Basically the same record.

We wouldnt even be in this series without Igor.

Start blaming the players for not being able to score goals.

 

[DelZottoHitTheNetJK]

Yep, always the goalies fault for every series the Rangers lose. Tale old as time.

He hasn't stolen a game yet and that's a fact.

He's played well enough to give them a chance to win every single night; he hasn't stolen a game yet. There's a difference.

 

[17futurecap]

High danger chances at five on five 18-7 for Florida tonight at home, in pretty much a must win game.

 

[TriFF51]

RRRRRRRIP.

Looking forward to watching Laf continue to progress. And the arrival of Perreault.

The rest is whatever.

 

[Nowotny]

Gus was brutal.

Trouba was trouba.

Kakko needs to learn to skate.

Lavi needs to not be a f***ing idiot.

Laf is a bright spot.

"Trouba was trouba".Do you know that in Czech "trouba" means moron or schmuck?

 

[qwertyaas]

They don't have a chance.

Oiler PP will rip Florida apart.

McD and Drai are Polar opposites of what Florida is seeing now. Then add in Bouchard and the rest of their double digit points lineup.

Guentzel can’t score if he’s stuck in his own zone 90% of the time, which he would be playing on the Mika-Kreider line this series.

 

[The Crypto Guy]

Literally the most braindead thing of the entire series.

 

[Machinehead]

Also, FWIW, I wanted Guentzel and I do think we’d be past Florida with him. I’m still frustrated about that f*** up.

Gaping hole on our top six all year and we filled it with a guy Columbus didn't want.

 

[Boris Zubov]

It seems like Trouba-Anyone with a pulse pairing is going to f***ing suck.

Right, so f***ing limit their TOI & shelter them at home. He keeps running Trouba out against Barkov in our own end when he has last change. It's the definition of insanity.

 

[NYR Viper]

Also, FWIW, I wanted Guentzel and I do think we’d be past Florida with him. I’m still frustrated about that f*** up.

I’m warming to the idea of signing him IF the move on from Kakko and can find a way to trade Trouba

He would have pulled a groin muscle in game 2 of the first round if we traded for him...

Barclay Goodrow carried this carcass through 12 games.

[Hunter Gathers]

I think I’ve jumped from the “Let’s keep Kakko since he’s more valuable here” train to “I’d take a second or two thirds for him” train.

Useless player.

 

[bouds]

As far as hockey stuff goes I thought game 4 was actually his best game of the series.

Heres the harsh truth though, he just isn't that good and he's been incredibly ineffective physically in this series. Has he thrown a single hit of any significance?

How do we expect him to lay a hit when it takes him an eternity to skate into someone, lol.

I feel for the kid, I really do, his game is a mess.

Nothing against Rempe, I like the kid, but he's not a great NHLer at this point (and I have doubts he ever will be). And he's not even doing the ONE thing he's supposed to do, which is bulldoze the other team on the forecheck. So why do we continue to waste a roster spot on him and his 5 milquetoast minutes per game?

 

[PuckLuck3043]

Game 5 was the series. It's going to be very difficult to win game 6. They have been so resilient but Florida just seems to wear them down as the game goes on and 1 PP goal doesn't help. It's going to take a miracle to keep this going.

 

[NYR Viper]

He's played well enough to give them a chance to win every single night; he hasn't stolen a game yet. There's a difference.

Uh, are we watching the same series?

 

[2Leetch_94]

The difference is the Rangers have slept through over half the periods in this series. Did Bob even have to break a sweat after the first 10 minutes of the game? Bob hasn't had to steal a game because that would require the Rangers actually controlling the play.

Ok and our third line is literally the worst line in the playoffs.

Useless player.

Telling you man. The other team was just like welp, let him tire himself out, while we sit here.
