Post-Game Talk: I don't have anything clever to put in the thread title

[RangersFan1994]

There should be. Something needs to be done. That was just gutless and soft. There needs to be a shakeup to get us stronger both physically and mentally.

And conditioning has to improve

 

[Bob Richards]

I'll say it again, I still have a blast posting with you freaks. We can rag on HF all we want, it has made my hockey experience way more fun in the 13 years I've been here.

God bless.

 

[Glen Sathers Cigar]

This sucks.

 

[CasusBelli]

What finish? Other than game 1 and game 3 what chances did they even have to finish? And game 3 they finished them. All series long they barely got any friggin chances. Today was a new low. They had f***ing nothing. Just didn't even show up. Their minds were in Mexico or wherever they'll go to have the time of their lives with their millions while fans earning a fraction of that will be working in a f***ing cubicle.

Funny to think in these terms: If they suck at their jobs, someone else hires them, or they get paid out for several years. If you and I suck at ours, we get canned. Sometimes I think they treat this as a competitive hobby / game, rather than a job.

I might sit out '24-25 or at least not be so deeply invested like this. It's too much investment. After a president's trophy tease of a season. Just waiting for Chytil to get hurt again or be a shell of himself or more Kakko stuck in mud. No thanks

My brother in Christ, just do what I do. You can still watch the games. But if you notice it impacting your life in a negative way, step back.

We have an insanely hardcore fanbase. Debbies and Islanders fans wish they had these problems. Just step back and enjoy life for a week without the team. Something like that.

Far better solution than just checking out for a full season. Not sure how that helps.

God bless.

I’ll echo these sentiments as well

 

[Captain Lindy]

The D needs to be rebuilt. But no way to get rid of Trouba

The hell there isn't. If there's a will, there's a way.

 

[Filip Chytil]

That series past Game 2 was an abomination of epic proportions.

I'd rate Drury's TDL as an F. Maybe he knew this core wasn't worth investing much into.

Don't know how you improve the team, but this core looks maxed out. Maybe get another year out of them and pray everything breaks your way and the stars align perfectly. Idk, that's all I got. Interesting offseason ahead.

 

[Feel Shame]

And conditioning has to improve

Without a shadow of a doubt.

 

[RangersFan1994]

Here's who should be brought back:

Laf - name him or Fox the 'C'
Trocheck
Fox - name him or Laf the 'C'
Igor
Cuylle
Quick


Those 6 should be brought back. Maybe K'Andre and Schneider as well for consistency. And of course Rempe and Edstrom. Othmann should be on the team next season, and Zac Jones should replace Gus.


Everyone else can go take a hike. I'd buyout Trouba, trade Mika, shop Kreider and Panarin (no one's gonna take Panarin and IDK if he'd waive anyway).

Add Othmann Edstrom and maybe give Rempe more than 5 mins a night

 

[RagFinMet]

Well we won the season
Just didn't win the tournament
This team is built to win seasons but not tournaments
Swap mika, pan for barkov, Tkachuk and trouba for Jones, we win the cup
Sadly we r stuck with mika and I don't see tru or pan going
The scapegoat will be kakko

 

[Tob]

I'll say it again, I still have a blast posting with you freaks. We can rag on HF all we want, it has made my hockey experience way more fun in the 13 years I've been here.

God bless.

Maybe the real Cup is the friends we make along the way.

 

[Mike in Houston]

Welp. Not good enough yet again. Full marks to Florida. They had the right blueprint. Took our best players out from being effective. Couldn't make the requisite adjustments.

And now I got to shave.

 

[Saitama]

Never winning a Cup with Trouba. Along with a few other softies.

Idk, if this wasn't the year. Then when? I just hope my 9 month old son sees them win a cup before he dies.

There's a chance! They're working on reversing aging, so if that happens and your son lives a few hundred years, you might get your wish!

 

[LaffyTaffy13]

Drury needs to tell the young guys coming up to not look up to kreider and mika, rather look up to trocheck. You cannot change the culture of this franchise until kreider and mika are gone. Problem is mika’s here 6 more years because we hand out NMC’s like tic tacs.

Constantly we are bringing up guys who played with an edge at lower levels and they get neutered once they enter this locker room. Rempe’s the only one who said F it. Schneider can play a hard nose game but is being influenced by the soft leadership, cuylle used to constantly mix it up in HFD, gets up here and nope. Othmann granted it was only a few games, known shit stirrer, acted like he was on a leash when he came up.

We need to change the culture

 

[Megustaelhockey]

I'd be fine with Oilers breaking the Canada cup drought.

 

[Hunter Gathers]

Funny to think in these terms: If they suck at their jobs, someone else hires them, or they get paid out for several years. If you and I suck at ours, we get canned. Sometimes I think they treat this as a competitive hobby / game, rather than a job.

Considering current estimates place quiet quitting at 60%+ of the overall US workforce, I completely disagree with this take.

This is commonplace. If anything, working hard is incredibly rare at this point.

 

[ohbaby]

Figures it's Tarasenko who sent us packing. He played a great game. But what ex-Ranger doesn't?

 

[Sayba]

I might sit out '24-25 or at least not be so deeply invested like this. It's too much investment. After a president's trophy tease of a season. Just waiting for Chytil to get hurt again or be a shell of himself or more Kakko stuck in mud and Panarin get another 100 regular season points. No thanks

I feel this way right now, we know this team as constructed isn’t built for the playoffs.

 

[PuckLuck3043]

Trade Trouba, get a top line Dman, get a real 1RW, build bottom 6 depth. This is all doable.

 

[Tob]

In the arms of the angelllllll fly away from heeereeeeee

 

[WhereO Is Kakko]

Valiquette is barely able to control his seething anger and frustration in the MSG postgame. “Must Watch TV.”

 

[Chaels Arms]

Going straight from Lundqvist to Shesterkin is going to end up being just as much a curse as a blessing for this franchise. Think about how unusual it is for one team to lose a HOF goaltender like Henrik and seamlessly transition to another elite tender like Shesterkin who was completely ready to step in without even needing an adjustment period to the NHL. Under normal circumstances when someone like Lundqvist retires the team has to reassess everything and completely alter their approach. Shesterkin allowed us to not go through that process at all but rather just continue doing what we had always done with Lundqvist and we're seeing more or less the same exact results.

 

[Crease]

Igor, Tro, Laf, Fox, Schneider.

Everyone else can go.

 

[NYROrtsFan]

Go away Trouba, Mika, and Kakko. It's over for Trouba and Mika, and Kakko just isn't good.
