Post-Game Talk: New York Rangers at New Jersey Devils - December 21

[Pavel Buchnevich]

Glad they lost if I'm being completely honest.

This coach, this team, this coach, and this entire organizational philosophy needs to stop being rewarded with points.

It's the only way things change.

I kind of think like this, but I wanted us to win.

I should explain my reasoning.

I completely agree with what you are saying, but this team will either make the playoffs or just miss it. We won't be that bad, and get a high lottery pick. AV's not getting fired before the end of the season, big changes aren't coming before the trade deadline.

Losing will only have AV take it out on the player's he dislikes. If we win, he takes it out on nobody.

Boyle having a career year with the Devils. Good for him!

 

[Gordon Bombay]

Keep giving up 40 shots a game...

 

[Machinehead]

We outplay NJ by a mile a week and a half ago and pound them. They outplay us by a mile and we get a point out of it.

I'll take it.

That's the last good game we played...

 

[will1066]

Not sure if we were more lucky to get a point in this game vs the Dallas game. It's really hard to decide.

 

[Loff]

 

[Overcast]

AV's paycheck should be direct deposited into Henrik's bank account. This team hasn't come out ready to play all season.

One of the worst executed games I've seen in some time from the NYR and as horrid to watch as anything Torts made me sit through. Not even 20% of the Devils' intensity and execution.

They haven't come out ready to play for 2 years now.

 

[LeetchisGod]

People think this roster coached by AV is a cup contender? I have some cheap Florida swampland to sell them.

 

[Embryo]

That was a bitter pill to swallow....great game. But enough with putting Shattenkirk ahead of guys like Buch and Kreider in the shootout

 

[Doctyl]

We outplay NJ by a mile a week and a half ago and pound them. They outplay us by a mile and we get a point out of it.

I'll take it.

“We got demolished. I’ll take it”

 

[Holocene]

Well, at least the Isles lost and we got 1 point. Really not much good about this game other than Hank.

 

[Kaapo Cabana]

Jimmy "I can't make a f***ing 2 foot pass" Vesey gets to shoot while buchnevich/Nash/miller are on the bench.

Hank stole us a point, and should be tearing his teammates a new asshole in the locker room right now

Totally get what you're saying but I have to disagree on AV.

He'll shit on whoever the f*** he doesn't like even if we're 82-0 because he's just a garbage human being who thinks he's bigger than the team and bigger than the sport.

 

[Kakko]

That's excessive, surely the arena help did not cause this...

That kind of thinking is exactly why they'll keep getting away with it

 

[nyr2k2]

Take the point and move on. Sometimes you lay an egg like we did tonight.

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

Unrelated question: Has Buch ever attempted a ShootOut shot?

Once or twice under AV. A trillion times under other coaches.

 

[Siddi]

What are you thinking putting Vesey out there to win the game? Are you f***ing dense Alain? And then you chose Shattenkirk who havent done a single positive thing this game!

You have Nash, Hayes, Grabner and Buchnevich and you chose Jimmy f***ing Vesey!!! ARE YOU f***ING DENSE? WHAT ARE YOU THINKING? WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

f*** YOU AV f*** YOU!

Kreider shouldn't be in the shootout either. He has terrible hands.

I guess, but this team isn't going anywhere with AV, making the playoffs just cements him even further as coach.

 

[DaBadGuy7]

Games like these are why I still want AV gone and why I have no confidence in this team if they make the playoffs

 

[Bob Richards]

48 tonight

 

[FatGiraffe]

After that joke of a performance, I can't possibly focus on who got the shootout attempt

 

[member 116805]

Go home Shattenkirk not your night and AV should have realized it. Shouldn’t have been out there in OT or in that shootout.

He is home, that was the base of this romance haha

 

[chosen]

Amazed at the hatred for Hayes from some here.

I wouldn't trade him even-up for Stepan, even if they had the same salary.

Hank kept them in it. Lunkhead Kreider gave it away, at the end.

The Vesey hatred is gettng old also, considering that his line has been our best as of late.

 

[will1066]

That kind of thinking is exactly why they'll keep getting away with it

What about IT people? Accounting department? Procurement? Human resources?
