Sorry but Igor tore the guts out of the team tonihjt with that start. They played panic hockey the rest of the period trying to make up for the islanders game. This is bad. I don’t know what’s going on with shesty. I don’t know if he’s tired, if he’s not playing enough lately, not facing enough shots, or if the hart/vezina talk got to him,(he’s going to lose both of this keeps up)

But he’s gotta figure it out because he’s killing them right now and they’re a mess in front of him because of it.
 
Right, but they play 82 games across the entire league and have to beat teams all across the league to get in. In a normal 82 game league wide league/playoff format last year's Canadiens team doesn't make the playoffs. They wouldn't have made the playoffs last year if their bubble group was the other teams in the atlantic. None of those Canadian teams last year were worth anything.
Ok then f*** that example.

The Stars were in the SCF the year before after finishing 30th in goals.

The Capitals won the Cup in 2018 after finishing 26th in xGF%.

In 2012, the Kings finished the regular season 40-42 and then went 16-4 in the playoffs.

Across 2008 and 2009, the Penguins were 26th in shot differential and went to two SCF's, winning one.

Hockey is half luck.

You just know Kakko would be nervous attempting a Michigan in his own driveway
This organization is so cursed, even when we win we lose.

Would you rather have Zegras or be in a playoff spot? We are too harsh on the kids. Kreider who was drafted by this organization has a shot at 50 Goals this year. Sure took some time but he still was drafted by the Rangers.

We wanted to be more gritty this year, added Reaves, Goodrow, Hunt, Copp, Motte, Vatrano, Nemeth......anyone really think we're gritty? We were at our best this year when we were physical and hard on the forecheck. Remember for a while Trouba was railroading players and Goodrow, Reaves and Rooney(i know he's out) were bullying teams in their own end? Where is all of that? This team has gone soft again and are hoping to globetrott their way to wins

Be nice if the team could pick him up like he's basically done all season for them

This is exactly what I’m talking about.

I think its a lot to do with ppl thinking they know what a player needs to be ableto handle NY and I think ppl should stop making such a big deal about it, so players who come here aren't paranoid as hell bc whatever comes out of their mouths could end up as the headline in the newspaper. the media certainly doesn't help and probably keeps away a lot of players who would otherwise want to play for the Rangers.

We could have had Zegras, and still be in a playoff spot. Obviously it's hindsight but I never really understand the purpose of these type of questions. It's not a binary.
 
So frustrating how this team can play so tight and disciplined against the Pens and Tampa and then look so careless with the puck against bottom feeders. That’s coaching and experience.

Blender lines beyond frustrating as well.
They think they can get limp and fancy against the non-playoff teams . They played a man’s game against Pitt, they just can’t bring that every night.
 
Gallants in the room barking at them. Rarely see that. He’s never in their when they go to that video of the lockerroom and every one is seated at their stall

Perhaps Igor is dealing with some concentration issues related to what his country is doing. I would definitely understand that, if it were the case.

They feel themselves too much. Other than the two Pitt games they have not played a good game in awhile. They thought they were hot shit after beating Pitt. Needed overtime to beat two of the worst teams in the league and have followed that up with two who gives a shit performances. If only they had a motivator behind the bench who could actually get them ready to play these games.
