Post-Game Talk: Mild

[Kocur26]

I'll tell you they really screwed us on the schedule they put us on a 5 Game Rd. trip then they make us come home and go right back out on the road.
And if I heard correctly, the Rangers do not have any homestands that are longer l than three games .

 

[Clark Kellogg]

Jones should have been playing with Lindgren.
Why break up two defensive parings instead of one?
Kaapo Kakko is disengaged.
Brodzinski is useless. Should have called up Nash. At least Nash can accidentally-on-purpose fall on opposing goal tenders.

 

[Kords]

Anybody. I'd gladly take Ben Harpur at this point.

hell no

 

[CasusBelli]

Minny has a ton of depth up front, love their 4 lines up front

That EE line is a nightmare to deal with.

Minny’s only weak link for me is in goal. Otherwise they could be contenders. The Devils are my pick from the east, but I don’t see them surviving this kind of physicality and size over seven games.

Funniest post nominees are in the OP

 

[LiveLongandProspal]

And not for nothing, who the hell made our schedule? We've been living on the f***ing road...only to come back for a day and then back on the road.

 

[Kane One]

That game sucked. Break up Jones-Schneider or get rid of them.

"It's completely fine to blow a 3-0 lead when your Norris D is on LTIR...

Your 2nd line Center is on IR...

Your Vezina Goalie is out for 2 weeks"

- @PuckLuck3043

Exactly. They got a point. You need to learn the game of hockey and what happens during an 82 game marathon season. 8-2-1.

 

[LOFIN]

Didn't deserve a point but got one anyway. We'll take it,

 

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

Break up Jones-Schneider or get rid of them.

How about both?

 

[Shesterkybomb]

Panarin HOT
Schneider NOT
Jones overwhelmed
Kakko smelled


I can make excuses for everyone but Kakko. He's finally getting the opportunity he's wanted and he's playing like it's his D+1 season. Just about over him.

Not over him but he's not a fit on that line as constructed and i don't see Trochek as a fit in the other line. Personally I'd rather see

Kreider Trochek Kakko
Panarin Zibs Lafreniere

 

[jerseyjinx94]

My biggest concern right now is Kaapo Kakko. He looked ready to break out. He’s playing top line minutes. He looks scared out there

 

[bbny]

"Didn't make me barf" stars tonight:

Panarin
Gustafsson
Quick

Extra Barf stars:

Krappo
Jones
Schneider

Funniest post nominees are in the OP

Truly honored to be a nominee. I've never won anything in my life though, so let's not start now.

 

[DanielBrassard]

Serious Q, not that it’s why we lost, but why is Trocheck shooting 3rd there

He’s the third most skilled forward on the team

 

[Tob]

Trade Schneider to Columbus for one of their devalued D men. I'm sure JD will take the bait.

 

[CasusBelli]

Hopefully Igor got to stay home, and have fun with his kid.

At that age, it’s either or, innit?

 

[Machinehead]

We set sail on the rebuild being over on our shitty drafting and it turns out our drafting was shitty.

All of the obvious holes are spots filled by young players and none of the young players addressed team needs.

How Laviolette and staff evaluate this game and how they react will indicate how different they are from Gallant and his staff, to be honest

 

[80shockeywasbuns]

That was actually the single worst game played by an NHL team this year in terms of xGF%

 

[Guyute]

Let me tell ya something:

Zac Jones would be an NHL player on 3 out of 32 of the teams, not 2/3rds.

 

[2014nyr]

good lord....some of these takes. it's like some people have zero awareness of context and would lose their mind about the team's heart/effort over anything short of an 82-0 regular season followed by a 16-0 playoff run. even then they'd be finding things to criticize.

if only those people had their careers put on camera. i'm sure they're all the best in the world at what they do and have never made a mistake in their life, not even in the most challenging of circumstances where multiple things out of their control occurred to make it that much harder. bunch of kim jung il's here apprently...everything they do is perfect...even shot an 18 the first round of golf they ever played.

seriously...calm down. this team has guts. seasons are long, some nights are stacked against you. anyone that can't appreciate how big even getting a point out of this game was simply doesn't understand hockey.

Jones should have taken a 2 way deal, he's not gonna play
