Post-Game Talk: Leave

[NikC]

Miller should play forward. Why won't they do this? it worked with Byfuglien!!!

 

[Kords]

Also Laffy had another solid game. Really hope he maintains that confidence despite getting benched for no reason again.

Okay, i'm done venting I think. Really dumb night for the coach, if he deflects blame in the presser im gonna be really heckin mad.

 

[Clark Kellogg]

I don’t see Gallant being fired but it was to happen I think either Knoblaugh or Drury would finish out this season.

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

And then we wonder why the kids go long stretches playing visibly with zero confidence.

The coach doesn’t facilitate it in any way.

It’s pure sabotage, which is the most infuriating thing about it.

 

[irishlaxburger2]

Let’s play a game. I’m going to post ice times for tonight then I want everyone to guess who played what:

18:39
15:00
18:59
17:22
16:05
19:18
15:25
20:32

Are the lowest ones the kids? Who also happened to have 3 of the highest 4 game score of anyone on the ice tonight (including Toronto).

 

[Richard Banger]

Gallant gone is an offseason move if it happens.

I'm driving a Brinks truck of money to Barry Trotz's house the day after the Rangers get eliminated this year. If the GM can't build the roster to give this team real leadership, bring it in and put it behind the bench.

He's practically waiting for the job to open up. Says he'll only coach an O6 team. Detroit, Chicago and Montreal are dumpster fires. Toronto and Keefe seem solid, Montgomery and Boston are rock solid. That leaves just one team.

He probably knows that the Rangers core have what it takes to win. And if anyone can get a Russian offense only play to play D. It’s Trotz

Well, actually, in this case, the kid line is walking around cocky because they know they were the best players on the ice. Sheltering them likely helped us lose that game. But totally absolves them of the outcome. As they should be. They literally carried the team. Someone argued with me that Trocheck isn't any better Defensively than Fil. They were right. But clearly GG doesn't see it that way. Fil isn't great in his own zone, but Tro is very mediocre. And boy is he a little dumb sometimes.

That’s a huge yes lol

 

[will1066]

Can we trade Panarin to the Hawks?

Him and Kane can be reunited!

Or Anaheim, where Strome will welcome him with Steve Perry open arms.

 

[Kovalev27]

Gallant doesn’t know what to do with this roster. It’s game 48 and 3 of the 4 lines tonight are brand new.

That’s a mess

He doesn’t want to move Kreider to RW. He doesn’t have a 4th line. He doesn’t know what to do with kravtsov. I mean it’s a complete mess of a lineup getting by on talent alone really. Not chemistry.

Imo you have to force Kreider to figure out RW. Just has to figure it out.

And that Trocheck line with goodrow and vesey had a great game against fla. What he flip it after one period tonight? Nonsense

 

[PuckLuck3043]

Yeah, this was a tough loss, and didn’t agree with some of his decisions. But they are coming off a trip to the ECF, and are in a playoff spot. If anything is going to happen, will be in the summer. I know people are upset, but got a point from a top team in the league.

Every time we don't get 2 points it's the same shit. Whether we agree with him or not he's going nowhere. I don't agree with everything he does and I think people saying the kids should have played more are correct but results matter and he gets results. People are living in this fantasyland that if we get a new coach they are going to play at a .750 level with this same roster. It ain't happening.

[huerter]

It’s hard to take the “Gallant just rolls the lines, so being the 1st line or the 3rd line doesn’t matter. Stop crying. They’re going to get the same ice time as everyone else” narrative seriously. Because it’s never true.

The difference is negligible. It's not like the kids were DNP-CDs

 

[PuckLuck3043]

Miller should play forward. Why won't they do this? it worked with Byfuglien!!!

Because he is a top 4 Dman and not a forward anymore. That's why. Who is going to replace him at D?

 

[will1066]

Drury looked annoyed. His team isn’t good enough and there isn't much he can do. Too much money.

Panarin is definitely not Drury's type of guy, hockey style or personality wise.

 

[irishlaxburger2]

What’s the initiation fee for this country club? Is there a waiting list? How’s the food?

 

[Clark Kellogg]

No MSG Post Game Show for obvious reasons. Game Highlights:

 

[bl02]

and those top 2 should have started in OT with Fox

 

[Guyute]

How about that lazy cross ice pass by Panarin late in the third when we were holding onto a 2-1 lead that got intercepted and created a 2 on 1.

If Laf or Kakko did that, they would be benched for a week

The only thing that can calm me down is Bill Pidto playing guitar

Yeah, novel concept. A coach trying to win playing his best PP players on the PP.

Damn that kind of quote gets you fired

 

[huerter]

You guys don't even get cised for the kid line. You want Chytil with Bread and Mika with 13 and 24. I'm the one with THE TEMPLATE.

You guys complain about the kids' usage whether the vets carry us to a win or the kids are our best line in an OT loss. So it shouldn't even be a talking point anymore. It's a constant.

 

[HFsNumber1Heel]

Kreider and Panarin were pretty bad tonight.

Kid line was great.

Cullye had some good looks in his limited time. I hope he gets at least one more game on Friday. He's fast and aggressive. Him and Gauthier, if they had a real center who could do something might work. Derek Grant (if healthy) or Sam Carrick from Anaheim would be bargain bin options.

 

[mandiblesofdoom]

Remember when Trocheck was supposed to fix Panarin somehow... except now the Rangers are stuck with like 17 million in cap hits from two guys.

We'll fix it by signing another expensive free agent
