Post-Game Talk: Gojira

[cheech70]

93 and 20 are not good 5v5

 

[Row I Goon]

In this thread you will be convinced that our team is so broken and so far away from being serious but in this thread you will also read about the patchwork changes that need to be made.

But nothing written will change the 6-3 result

8-7-1 in last 16.

Outside of Bread-Troch-Laf this team is really lacking. It’s a team full of passengers. Mika is the most passive and hesitant player over ever seen and it’s infuriating, as are his hands which are worse at accepting passes than kids I played with in bantams. Mika would literally pass up a wide open net with nobody near him just to force a pass to a teammate who is at a worse angle and he’d put the pass in their skates.

Defense was atrocious and honestly Igor was just as bad. We had tons of high danger chances on Demko and he made tons of great saves. Not every turnover and scoring chance needs to be a goal against. Miller has regressed big time, Trouba can’t carry a pair himself, Lindgren is a shell and Fox is clearly not back to himself post injury.

 

[The Crypto Guy]

Quick should be getting more games by this point, Igor needs to make more saves.
The first forward back has to be goalside of the third Vancouver player.

Quick has looked very average as of late. He likely gives up just as many goals with that defense tonight.

Sorry, but I find it hard to put the blame on Drury considering the mess Gorts/JD made that he's navigating thru.

Goodrow was a Drury contract and is one of our single biggest issues.

He's also the one that inexplicably signed the gaped corpse of bonino

Fox played more than Trouba at 5v5!!!!

...and Trouba still managed to be on the ice for 3 goals against at 5v5.

All of the D need to calm the f*** down. They are all pinching way too aggressively in the name of keeping plays alive or creating offense, though i guess it's what happens when the forwards don't generate shit. The forwards are f***ing up too many breakouts too.

Kreider is a great 5v5 player. Mika drags him down if you ask me.

 

[Whoot Whoot]

At this point why have Bonino and Goodrow - they are basically the same? Why have either of them?

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

First we need to convince him to waive. Good luck with that...

Just split him up from CK and he’ll demand a trade

 

[rangersfansince08]

Lavi has some decisions to make and it need to come next game.

Bread-Tro-Laf CANNOT be the only producing line on this team at evening strength. At all.

We are 10-8 since Dec 1.

and that line has defensive issues on top of it

 

[mxyxptlk]

I'd like to know what has possessed them to abandon the structure and work ethic that got them thru the first quarter of the season.

 

[effen]

They have no neutral zone system or defensive zone system at all. Completely stopped. Just back in to the top of the circles like they have since Quinn's first year.

 

[Brutananadilewski]

BUCHNEVICH!

And he let Eichel and Kane slip through his greasy pizza grease fingers.

 

[huerter]

They have 0% cup equity as long as Mika is Meeka. Full stop, end of story, you can rearrange all the deck chairs you want on the Titanic but nothing matters if your #1C is this player.

Not sure what this means. I've liked his game most of the season. When he was getting the most S he had been on the ice for like 2 5 on 5 goals against up until that point. We're not exactly dealing with mensa members doing the evals on here.

this D aren't pinching anymore than the average NHL d corps they just suck dog shit at it.

mostly because of the fact that they have absolutely no talent

Too hard.

 

[Paulie Walnutz]

Fabio and Wario can both gtfo

 

[ReddestRum]

I think every line does at this point. I don't trust any of the defensive pairings we have either.

 

[effen]

It was hard and it hurt sometimes and they didn't like it so they stopped and are playing exactly like they did last year and they year before.

It's the core guys. It's always been.

I'll give you Goodrow....as for the other dregs -- they were the best of the garbage available for the little money we had. Most knew there would be problems if we sustained any major injuries.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

Vancouver won the kind of game we'd win with AV and Lundqvist that everyone hated, now Vancouver played a great game? f*** THAT.

 

[80shockeywasbuns]

I’m not sure what’s worse, Bonino/Goodrow on different lines or the same line. I think I’d rather stack the shitters than spread them out at this point

 

[duhmetreE]

I think it’s worth trying

Panarin Zibs Laffy
Kreider Tro Cuylle
Don’t care Vesey
Really don’t care

Potluck was the engine in the bottom 6

i have no problem with wheeler or pitlick signings. they were fine signings. bonino hasn't been good since 2017 and I absolutely could not see the logic in signing him

 

[will1066]

At this point why have Bonino and Goodrow - they are basically the same? Why have either of them?

Drury overestimated Bonino and Wheeler. To be fair, if Chytil and Kakko didn't go down, Bonino and Wheeler wouldn't be in the conversation.
