Post-Game Talk: New York Rangers at Ottawa Senators - December 13

[Ben Culotta]

That was hard to watch. Ottawa is so bad and we made them look great. So embarrassing this Rangers team at times.

 

[Hi ImHFNYR]

Awful coaching tonight. Awful.

This should be stickied to the bottom of every post.

I know some guys hate how often AV gets hate but I love heaping huge helpings of blame on him. I find it hilarious. Helps that AV deserves it because he's a goddamn idiot

 

[Siddi]

Garbage, absolutely garbage. Hank was fine I guess...

f***

 

[ZiGOODejad]

AV is a garbage coach.

 

[Boruto]

I still don't understand why Gorton sat on his hands all summer expecting this piss poor offensive depth to work out somehow during a 82 game season. We're still stuck with Staal-Holden, We've overachieved so far this season. It's going to get ugly in the 2nd half.

 

[trilobyte]

The Rangers play much better against talented teams...

I was tippy-typing up something similar. You said it.

 

[bl02]

Zib is probably back against the Kings. Hopefully our perfomance will go back to an acceptable level.

Kings are gonna come out guns blazing especially after how they played last night. And then boston 5pm saturday. could get ugly fast

Should have won the Florida game, should have won this game, should be in first place. This race is going to be decided by 2-3 points separating the teams clinging to a wild card spot in the end.

Your goaltender shouldn't have to tell you which guys need to be covered.

Yet Hank had to do it at least once tonight. Likely twice. And those guys he pointed out ended up scoring.

 

[Hi ImHFNYR]

He already won enough games where they won't fire him this year save for a total collapse.

Honestly, I suspect they're committed to him and are blind to his faults. I like to dream though.

 

[bl02]

That friggin collapse in the first 10 seconds of the third...

I hate how they never challenge a player who sits in front of Lundqvist all alone.

Sucks but Shatty got burnt and skjei committed to help. Miller couldn't make defensive play in front of net

f*** it, make him the coach.

 

[Megustaelhockey]

I can't remember the last time the Rangers won a single one of these Garden of Dreams fundraiser games.

Play like this is not likely to motivate people to donate.

The over-commitment by the defensemen on this team sometimes is killing me slowly.

 

[Lion Hound]

So disappointing giving up 2 points to a team you should've chewed up and spit out.

 

[PuckLuck3043]

Rangers are a crap road team this year. That doesn't bode well when you play 30 of the next 50 on the road.

 

[Ori]

What a disaster in Canada - it`s a shame.

I mean he literally called out AND pointed to the open OTT player on the 3rd goal and these f***ing idiots still managed to not cover him.

What can I say? In Zib I trust. Getting DD out of the team will be huge for Kreider, Buch and for our PP.

He’s not exactly blameless on the first goal.

 

[Leonardo87]

I’ll see your 8 Nicholas Cage’s and raise you one crazy Nicholas Cage..

 

[Hi ImHFNYR]

AV is a garbage coach.

I just pictured that gum chewing goon glaring at a flaming garbage bag while chewing gum. Then he glances at a lineup sheet, slides it back into his vest pocket, glances up at the video screen that isn't there and says nothing. He coaches hockey the same way he would coach a literal dumpster fire.

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

I hate this team more than every other Ranger team post lockout aside from the 2009-10 team and its getting there.

 

[PuckLuck3043]

****

He was OK but he was outplayed tonight.

 

[Siddi]

Yeah, the 1st goal was softish.
