Post-Game Talk: Gotta Get It!

[Paulie Walnutz]

Rangers should bring in Babcock and have him ask to see players’ pics on their phones

 

[Paulie Walnutz]

Mika has done such a great job shutting down Panarin and Laf he deserves Selke votes

 

[SnowblindNYR]

I can't believe we had one great defensive pair, and a net positive second pair to start the year, and this is what we've decided to ride with .

Like, once people get to know players personally, do they just completely lose the ability to assess their play?

As much as I'm defending the team Laviolette is performing the worst roster malpractice since AV and Staal-Holden. It's inexcusable. Laviolette is either very stupid or just hates himself. I can't see any other reason he decided to play Lindgren in the top 4 to his team's and his OWN detriment. Dude, this piece of shit is going to cost you your job. Are you this f***ing dense? Does he have pictures of you or something, is he married to your daughter. WTF is wrong with you?

We can't win with Igor and fans are still willing to offer him a blank check out of fear without him. This wasn't out worst game but it still showed the flaws we have in this team. If they don't get addressed, paying a large amount of money to a goalie to cover up the issues isn't going to work.

I'm more interested In the training staff ranking their efforts.

K’Andre Malik

Malik was much better than Miller.

 

[Clark Kellogg]

Nobody wants to hear it, but he looks like he plateau'd as soon as he won that Norris & signed his new deal.

Another guy with just awful body language. Half this team looks truly miserable when they're playing hockey.

Just throwing this out there, maybe the players feel betrayed with the handling of Goodrow and Trouba during the offseason by Drury.
As fans we see bade contracts aging like milk left in the sun but to the team these are their brothers in arms and even more that both players considered leaders.
Now this year we see Mika as spent. He has no game. As Brian Boyle pointed out if Mika isn’t going to score then he needs to to something (else) and he has not or can no longer play at an NHL level.
The players might see Mika as a teammate going through a bad stretch and their coach is overreacting.

 

[Moloch]

I mean, the number one thing tonight was whether we were answering questions accurately by that poster from the Jets board who came in peace. At least it was for me.

that was me - you guys summed it up pretty well in retrospect. Mika sucks.

Whew, read that too fast. Glad you typed “pics”

This team blew their chance last playoffs. Ironically with the turning point being Zibanejad’s brain dead turnover at the offensive blue line in OT of game 4. Could’ve gone up 3-1 in that series. Now Zibanejad is even worse.

I look at the Panthers and I see a group that made it to the final and lost and then came back the next season with a vengeance and a mission. Tons of alphas in that room. Our team comes back sniffing their own farts after not even getting as deep. Our core leadership group is full of passive beta boys. Kreider (who I love) didn’t want to be captain? Zibanejad seems to have negative fire burning inside. Panarin is great but quite aloof. Trouba is one of the worst players on the team. Miller has been regressing ever since his second year. Lindgren sucks. Zibanejad is literally actively hurting the team. He’s dog shit all over the ice. No offense, turnovers galore, terrible D. And nothing to be done about it. He got his bag. Took his foot off the gas and is older. This is what he is now. Five more years of this.


Oh and can someone please explain to me why Igor is worth THREE TO FOUR million more w season than Hellebyuck? Hellebyuck has been better for longer, he has two Vezinas, longer track record. Because Igor was good in two playoff runs where he lost in the ECF without his team paying him an albatross amount? Hellebyuck is better than Igor now and has been previously and very well may be going forward. Igor isn’t good, one of the best in the league. But there’s not 3-4m separation between him and the other elites.

The alpha beta stuff is nonsense. Trendy nonsense, but nonsense.

[mike14]

As much as we get on Mika (and we should), Chris Kreider has a whopping 1 5v5 point (a goal) through the 14 games. He really needs to find a way to jump out of this rut he's in...

 

[Maliks PlusMinus]

Mika and Miller were in a special mode last night.
The team in general wasn’t bad though.
The Sharks should be easier…

 

[Shesterkybomb]

I'll say it again, Phil housley ain't that guy, we need someone to come in and make this d play with a better structure. Our breakout is almost non existent, so much has to change on the back end.

 

[Oscar Lindberg]

It’s a bit puzzling to me that we’re still rolling with these defensive pairs when it’s clearly not working. The pairs they had in the beginning of the season worked really well, I have no idea why they don’t just ride those until the wheels fall off.

If Drury had an ounce of brainpower he’d be calling around and trying to move Lindgren today. He f***ing stinks and the defense has been putrid since he returned

 

[NYRFANMANI]

For me it's the self-sabotage, that almost feels calculated, that I have to witness year in year out.

It's always, the players getting paid the big bucks HAVE to play, it's doesn't matter if they suck or are injured or what. It's easily more than 10 seasons now.

 

[Clark Kellogg]

Bring back Steve Smith to the organization!

Yeah, Mika is just carnival every time he touches the puck, Kreider isn’t making major blunders he is just invisible . Both are bad.

 

[Breaded Fox]

Zibanejad has been so awful. It’s like he’s just there to pickup a paycheck at this point.

I was late to the party, but how can anyone not want to slap him around at this point? His game has become so weak and he's getting into georgiev territory as far as sucking the life out of the team. Sad!

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

Is it a coincidence that the 2 players who require the most time to care for their hair are the 2 worst players on the team this year? Makes you think

 

[Shesterkybomb]

Bring back Steve Smith to the organization!

Sure, I'll take anyone that can change the way we defend and breakout

 

[Cuckoo4Kakko]

Kakko Chytil Cuylle were in the 11-12 minute range. Mika played 20.

Are we allowed to have a Lavi specific thread? My Lavi-GG thread got deleted.

The most important issue this team has going right now is how dumb Lavi is. Mika sucks. Whatever. If we don't play him that much, we can still be a successful team. But Lavi won't do it and every adjustment he makes is a disaster. That needs a specific thread.

 

[Shesterkybomb]

Anyone else worried about giving our current back up goalie 12 mill for 9 years

Mika needs to come off pp 1, trochek needs to go back with panarin. Mika needs to work through whatever is going on mentally, he hasn't been the same since the last concussion, and I have no idea how his shot has turned from Ovie to Trouba

His blockheadedness is so mind boggling it’s making me think someone else is pulling the strings . A certain becigared individual lurking the shadows perhaps?
