Post-Game Talk: KING DAVID @ goliath

[romba]

@The Crypto Guy back in 2014 when we lost the cup in OT I was so upset and angry and didn’t want to talk to anyone, my wife was like (in all seriousness) hey so that LA team is pretty good huh?!? When I told her not to talk to me she said to get over it, it’s just a game. Didn’t end well for me lol

Now she understands and is more empathetic. She gives me space when I need it, and knows how to talk about the game after big losses, which allows me to vent. “Man they really couldn’t get anything going, what happened??” Instead of “well there’s always next year, can you finish the dishes now” Though truthfully I get over our losses much quicker as I get older which is nice.

Show her Bernmeisters posts. She'll love you all over again.

She'll leave him for Bern

My girlfriend likes to troll me about my teams. So if I ever go with her to a game either her trolling will turn me on and it'll help me forget the game or we'll have a similar argument.

My girlfriend never watched hockey/sports, went to a game with me, proceeded to yell way more than me, and now has quarter season tickets.

You can make similar arguments about Panarin but people act like he's a bum, Fox is slow as molasses and plays lazy. He looked pretty shit last season too IMO.

Yes I am partially mad at him because I allowed the HFNYR hivemind to brainwash me into taking him over Panarin with my 1st rounder in fantasy

No he didn't. Fox averaged nearly a ppg last year during the regular season and playoffs. Maybe not as good as his Norris winning year but still good. Panarin had a shit playoffs but looks great this year so far.

Someone behind me was chirping about paying a 5th D $8 million per year.

That was me, nice to meet you friend.

 

[DanielBrassard]

Dryden Hunt would of never let this happen if he was still a Ranger.

This is more true than you will ever know

 

[Chytilmania]

Really annoyed with MSG…
-that DJ was freaking stupid, knew we would lose with gimmicks like that
-I’d bet my life savings I rubbed shoulders with Gaten Matarazzo, frequent MSG goer, but he wasn’t shown on the celebrity cam. So now that means it probably wasn’t him and I’m seeing things

 

[TheBloodyNine]

Feeling themselves too early.

 

[Shesterkybomb]

We need something in our top 6 that resembles a bigger jesper fast, someone that drags players along when things aren't going well. I dont know that our roster has that guy right now, i was hopeful Cuylle could have been that guy but it never worked out, would love to give him a chance with the Zib line. Also, I'm all for having the kids in the top 6 but it's painfully obvious they play better together so just put them together.

 

[ReleasO The KakkO]

Everyone saying move on to Sunday might be forgetting who the opponent is. Blue Jax, and Johnny Hockey in particular, are the real deal.

This will be a real measuring stick game.

 

[Peltz]

Just caught up and watched the game late…

Did this team try to channel their DQ days just because he was in the building?

 

[Kovalev27]

Adam Fox is playing like he realized how good he is and thinks he doesn’t need to try anymore. He looks cocky.

He has been terrible

 

[Baby Punisher]

The Sharks bit us.

 

[Peltz]

Holy shit. Why is Shesterkin playing so bad and giving up empty nets?

Gotta fix his game.

 

[Kovalev27]

Sammy blais is a 4th liner. Let’s get that out of the way. Get Kravtsov back in there so we can see what we have.

But I was at this one and it was horrific from the start. Awful power plus lazy passes (fox was horrendous) nobody sharp except for chytil.

 

[Peltz]

I honestly think this was his worst game of his career. It was that bad that it stands out rather distinctly.

I don’t care about losing, but this was disgraceful pond hockey.

Honestly, so do I normally, this one hit a bit harder since i went into it thinking it was an easy win, when even i said earlier on”there are no easy wins in the nhl”. (Easier said than done huh lol)

I’ve already apologized but i know i was a jerk. I’ll make it up with a nice dinner tomorrow.

Honestly it’s times like this i’m so happy that hockey is the only sport i’m into. Can’t imagine how emotional i’d be if i’d like the Yanks and Jets/Giants too

Hope it's his last.

 

[tomobson]

Trade everyone.

 

[Clark Kellogg]

Keeping in the spirit of the way the conversation has gone. Imagine going on a first date, showing up late, drinking too much, throwing up and yet still getting to third base. Not too shabby. Take the point and be thankful.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

The team is just too cocky right now. They're been reading their press clippings and want to Harlem Globetrotter every team out there. They were playing game 5 hockey while the Sharks were playing playoff hockey. They can't keep playing game 5 hockey all season. They have to tighten up and stop trying to Harlem Globetrotter every team. And despite him redeeming himself in the 3rd period somewhat Igor has been playing slightly above average hockey at best.

Yeah it definitely seemed like this was the case. Hopefully this is a much needed wakeup call. We just need to hope they learn from it. Realize that you can’t just assume you’re going to beat inferior opponents and you have to play good all season to make it to the playoffs. They’re probably having a bit of a playoff hangover being a young group and also the cockiness for sure. Just gotta hope this whips them back into shape.
