Post-Game Talk: Mutombo

[17futurecap]

Wheeler plays way too much at five on five, they need to try something else.

 

[Whoot Whoot]

Laf was snake bitten
Had the game on his stick three times

Pp failed
Good comeback though

 

[nyr2k2]

I hate the shootout and have basically since the second or third year it was around. But if they do it, I think it should be five rounds. No idea if it would help us or hurt us, it's just that three and potentially less shots seems too short.

This was also the first shootout I've watched in years. I normally turn the game off after OT but I was adding items to my grocery cart and was distracted, so I figured what the hell.

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

no one was good but Laf especially sucked

 

[Breaded Fox]

This would have been a good game to not have seen.

 

[effen]

Zibanejad line members were all awful for completely different reasons. f*** them.

Fox has one of those injuries you cant make worse by playing with it and figuring out how to win without him miracle-ing shit nightly is going to make or break this team this year.

 

[mike14]

Horrible game defensively.
Lav needs to shake things up so we aren't reliant on the Panarin line for most of our chances. Get Wheeler off the top line for a start. Look to utilize Vesey and Cuylle more.
9 shifts and 7:16 for Othmann seems very low for he looked in game 1. Would like to hear the coach's explanation for that one.

The dude can send passes to people to finish his plays and he can put one in the net if Panarin always feeds him, but when it's time for him to shine on his own he just doesn't have it.

Cuylle had a very good game

 

[26Mats]

What a good game. Are all your team's games this entertaining?

 

[Mike in Houston]

This team doesn't lose back to back games but they sure ain't winning many back to back games lately.

 

[2Leetch_94]

If missing Kakko turns the defense into this much trash, they need to rename the Selke award after him. They turn the puck over every other pass.

 

[Glen Sathers Cigar]

Shootouts suck.

Coming out slow a lot lately. That’s the MO if this core unfortunately, but I have faith in Lavi being able to steer through it.

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

Team was ass defensively tonight. Happy they were able to get a point, but...yuck.

Points schmoints

 

[ReleasO The KakkO]

There are no stars of this game.

 

[will1066]

Listen to 690 one time.

This is too cryptic for me

 

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

Retirement would be nice.

 

[2Leetch_94]

Could be the Blue Jackets. Never seen a team find so many new exciting ways to suck.

He's not snake bitten. His wrist shot is poor.

 

[ReleasO The KakkO]

You read it here first - Rangers going 5-6 for the remainder of January schedule.

Pathetic, as Canes take over first place in Metro.

I'm proud to say that I've never seen one (and have no plans to do so).

Oh, yes, definitely.

You don't need those last 10 words

 

[Machinehead]

We probably deserved to win that game and, in my mind, basically tied it. I'm not bothered by this particular game.

Let me tell you what bothers me.

f***ing Trouba is now averaging a minute and half more per game at 5v5 than Fox.

I haven't even given Laviolette so much as a dirty look this year because he's done few egregious things, but if this is the egregious thing he's going to do, it's worse than anything Gallant did. It's worse than anything anyone is doing.

I can't believe I have to explain this, but here goes. Maybe it will channel the right vibes into Laviolette's obese stupid brain.

This is not Jeter and A-Rod. This is not Austin and the Rock. This is not even Jordan and Pippen. This is eating a porterhouse or eating literal dog shit.

This fat, dumb, motherf***er has one of the 2 or 3 best defenseman currently playing hockey and is playing a different guy more, nevermind that said guy sucks.

In a sane world where I could have faith in people, he's saving Fox for the playoffs. You know that's not true. It's because Trouba is big, tough, and plays ShiTDeRn dErNFERNzE.

I'm going to repeat this for every braincell Laviolette has and you can tally them up:

Play your f***ing Norris winner.

Play your f***ing Norris winner.

Play your f***ing Norris winner.

Play your f***ing Norris winner.

Play your f***ing Norris winner.

Play your f***ing Norris winner.

Play your f***ing Norris winner.

Edstrom had a similar game 1 and was sent back to Hartford -- so Othmann is ahead of the game so far.
