Post-Game Talk: Game 56: New York Rangers @ Buffalo Sabres , 5:30 ET, MSG

[Machinehead]

"The Rangers have improved their game, but they're still down by 3"

That one will last a lifetime, Sam

Sam is so wholesome.

If Panarin got that puck first we’d be talking about the greatest game in Ranger history

 

[Boris Zubov]

Bro take a breather

I think he makes some valid points, honestly. I think everyone is frustrated & it feels like some opinions are more accepted than others. Not to get in the middle of their spat, It's nothing personal against anyone in particular, but I think we should all have a bit of a thicker skin at times.

Good memory. I've never seen a replay of that game. I need to search for it.

Ogrodnick was a decent Ranger. He had some good years here. Didn't play a lick of defense however.

The thing is - I didn't watch the second and third periods.

I was home from college and went to a friend's party at the end of the first. When I got in the car and turned the radio on, Sal Messina is talking about Nemchinov scoring into an empty net. I'm like WTF?

Get home and ask my dad what happened. He was watching the Channel 4 11:00 news. That's when there was an actual sports report, and they showed the third period onslaught.

I've never seen the whole game.

Yeah that’s fair. I just took it as them trying to lower the temperature of the board.

I bet all NHL teams are doing this. Class Act

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

That last shift from Lindgren is a microcosm of why he's so bad.

Completely killed OZ zone time with a stupid low percentage play, recovered the puck in the NZ and instead of doing anything meaningful he just gave up possession and the puck came back the other way.

Nothing overly egregious so it's not obvious, but it's so common with him.

I watched it live as an underage 20 year old from a bar really close to my house. We were all in stunned disbelief. I was in college as well so I'm sure we closed the bar that night.

The board's temp will be running just under body temperature for the rest of the year because we all know this team is gaka doo doo.

 

[Oscar Lindberg]

Shot by Brodzinski but it’s wide by a mile Joe

 

[EdJovanovski]

That 4th line night and day better when Rempe is on it rather than on the bench. They were hemmed in their own zone the last couple shifts without him

 

[94leetch]

If the team is playing well most everyone gets fired up.
A game like this guys get ripped.
It aint rocket science.

it’s a decent distraction to get to the NFL draft

Ruined it for you, because you’re too sensitive - or either so principled and virtuous that you NEED to shut that shit down, OR so married to the notion that your opinions are superior that you can’t help yourself but be baited into addressing it. As a poster, you have become increasingly overbearing, dismissive and superior and it has been commented on, just not publicly. Just because some peoples’ comments are crude and direct and yours are veiled in scholarly, academic superiority, doesn’t make them actually less egregious. They’re just needlessly pompous (and unwarrantedly so, because your actual hockey knowledge and pedigree is mundane - beating the same drum louder doesn’t make you right, and collecting some likes and nods of approval on a message board doesn’t either - look at my post to like ratio; does it lend an ounce of credence to my posts? No way. I post unhinged shit at times.)

Plenty of people just… scroll past comments and content they don’t like or disagree with. It’s kind of like the virtual equivalent of being an adult. People who actually whined to mods about it, again, need to go touch grass. That’s kind of the virtual equivalent of being a petulant, entitled 16 year old. We’re not talking about truly offensive or inappropriate comments; we’re talking about opinions you disagree with and/or are “tired of”. Woe is you. No one cares. You can scroll past it or ignore the poster, but if you think whining about people joking around over how crap our players are and making fun of/criticizing them means that those comments should be moderated to make you feel better… you’re not built for life in the real world.

You’re a moderator on a fringe website for a nearly fringe sport. We’re not elected officials. We’re Joe schmoes who volunteer to clean the place up a bit. The gestapo act paired with the snide superiority in your posting has gotten a lot older, in my opinion, than Rangers fans venting their frustrations and making fun of the absolutely indefensible performance of the team this year. That’s justifiably angry fans coping in a harmless space. You’ve been trending more and more high and mighty annually for several years. It’s gross.

I think as long as people do not break the rules they should be free to post about players games (not personal stuff). If they break the rules then they pay the price but saying a guy is slow, can't pass, can't shoot, bad, soft, not trying hard, etc shouldn't be against the rules because he is a favorite player while other players or coaches are fair game. On the other hand if posters don't like reading some posts then they should block that poster imo. I have blocked a few myself.

[mike14]

We certainly sucked less that period

 

[Boris Zubov]

Quick getting involved!

"I don't think Buffalo liked the shot when the buzzer was going"

You can do all that. There was a complete misinterpretation of the warning that was posted.

And I explained it already too.

Daily reminder, that what this team has done to Sam this season is not only a crime against hockey, but crime against sports broadcasting.

 

[RangersFan1994]

Quick has been good. Imagine if they started him when the game started

 

[Boris Zubov]

"I don't think Buffalo liked the shot when the buzzer was going"

Cut Sam some slack. LOL. He's gotta power through this dogshit performance & still maintain his professionalism.

The board has a block button. Its like turning the channel on TV if you don't like a show.
