Hey look Kane again got his shot blocked.

Imagine making it to the NHL and having a shot blocked. Like, think about how rare shot blocks are in the NHL. Just pathetic.
 
That was a decent shift by Panarin and Kane (and Fox). Very creative in a slow 5v5 game state off the faceoff.
 
Some of you guys on here need to chill out. This is what you fancy stat cult folks don’t understand: the human element. Kane played the last what 16 years with the same team? Tarasenko what was it 11 years with the same team? IT TAKES TIME for these guys to join a new team have new line mates live somewhere new. This isn’t a video game where you trade for players and the edit lines feature tells you whether the chemistry is good on a line. Sometimes shit just clicks for players on a new team, consider it luck and the exception not the rule.
Excuses excuses, I’m calling Tony and you’re getting cement shoes if you don’t cool it Paulie

I'm starting to agree with @EdJovanovski. I don't care what their record is when they're unwatchable. And it's not an Islanders "suck the life out of the game" unwatchable. They play like the Islanders offensively but their opponents skate circles around them. At least the Islanders had an identity. What does this team do well?

The Rangers seem particularly good at missing the net.
 
This team lacks structure defensively. With the amount of offensive talent this roster has, they should be clogging up the ice and suffocating the opposition defensively, there'd be no way for the other team to outscore us, they'd get frustrated and put us on the PP often. Gallant needs to coach this team to trap.

So you’re saying that significant changes at the trade deadline are not a good idea?

I'd be ok with the lack of defensive structure if they had offensive structure.

Earlier in the game, we had a player 1 on 3 entering their zone, dumped in deep and all 3 players in their zone skaters in the direction of the player to prevent an easy dump and chase puck retrieval. Yet we can't defend anybody entering our zone.
