Post-Game Talk: Game 77: New York Rangers vs Tampa Bay Lightning, 7pm ET, MSG

[cheech70]

Lavy looks like Paulie Walnuts with those wings...does it symbolize his flight status? Mac still skates very well. Looks like we should have traded for Yanni after all.

 

[mrmovies779]

After a good start Miller has stunk lately as well.

We never should have traded for him.Now we have another over 30 declining vet with a big contract.This team needs a ground up exorcism in the worst way

 

[Atax]

I just don’t see how it’s any better next season. I can only see if being worse.

 

[TGWL]

We can still buy Laf out.

After a good start Miller has stunk lately as well.

He was checked out about 25 percent of the time since he got here now it's like 75 percent. Garbage panic trade

 

[bleedblue94]

most aggressive thing 13 has done all season. God forbid you just take your frustration out by hitting someone.

He stopped acting tough after the league told him to stop pulling the helmet off opposition players...

 

[will1066]

The ease with which Tampa did those royal road passes was like redefining the royal road as a permanent meta for the next 100 years

 

[Filip Chytil]

Could have kept the third round pick, kept playing de Haan, and been in the same spot.

No, let’s pay Carson Soucy 3 million dollars next year and play every night.

Drives me f***ing nuts. I thought de Haan was totally fine? He seemed like a perfectly acceptable defenseman to dress and instead they set a 3rd round pick on fire to needlessly downgrade at the position.

 

[bleedblue94]

This is like 2018 but without the letter and the sell off. All we need now is a post game presser after next Thursday with Laviolette unsolicited advocating for his job.

We also need John gilmour playing 20 mins a night down the stretch.

 

[bouds]

Laf just sucks.

Folks can spin whatever narrative they want on the why and the how, but outside of last season and his hot start he’s been nothing. It took Panarin and Vinny having career years to get him going.

 

[Atax]

People on this board still think the Soucy deal was a good one.

 

[bleedblue94]

Too comfortable. Got his money. Apparently in NY you don't show up to camp in shape. Too many NY bagels and donuts.

Bingo. Good shape for an NHL player is not the same as good shape for an average person. People would probably be surprised what has passed here for "great" shape recently.

It took Artemi Panarin 120 points for Laf to have 57.

Another guy who never got better skating. Who wants to be out of breath when you can glide?

Who? He's washed lol.

I was shocked how many thought the Miller trade was good. On paper maybe but not for this team

 

[Mike in Houston]

We also need John gilmour playing 20 mins a night down the stretch.

Shit. At this point I'd welcome him back.

 

[effen]

No they don't.

need someone to soak up those first pairing minutes, a big strong guy, toughest I've ever seen

 

[Coffee]

That's because he doesn't give a shit about the regular season. You'll be happy you have him for next years run

 

[n8]

Laf doing his best Lias impression on that misconduct

 

[mike14]

Regardless of everything else (and there's a lot), there's no way Lavi can still be the coach here next season is there? Relationship between him and the players appears to be completely broken

 

[DanielBrassard]

Those people are canucks fans

Right?

 

[Shesterkybomb]

I just don’t see how it’s any better next season. I can only see if being worse.

New coach with a new perspective on how and who to play. Tonight, having Othmann and Perrault so low in the lineup a prime exampe of that. For me, I'd like to see this next period.

Panarin Miller Othmann
Laf Zibanejad Perrault
Cuylle Trochek Brodz
Kreider Carrick Rempe
