Post-Game Talk: NY Rangers @ Penguins | 4/6/19 - 7PM - MSG

[TominNC]

Once the balls drop on tues and those of us who wanted no points in the last two games (and the other loser points all ****ing year) will those who chastised us admit we were right? No. I’m sure they won’t.

But we will know!

And if it ends up not making a difference?

 

[smoneil]

The Penguins, Caps and Hawks finished in the bottom five of the standings multiple times. Sure does put a damper on all those cups.

Yeah yeah, and then the counterargument about Edmonton gets thrown around. Bottom line is that there are different ways to build a team and different ways to win a Cup. That's not the point here. The team has a history. You want a team with a different history? I bet there are tickets to be had in Pittsburgh, Washington, and Chicago. We're talking about a 1% improvement in the odds here. It's dumb.

 

[Harbour Dog]

I was too angry to notice before, but lol at Pionk finishing Guentzel's goal in the fetal position. A microcosm of his defensive technique.

 

[Rempe73]

I will never like Namestnikov ever again

Am I being irrational? Yes. Do I care? Not really.

 

[PuckLuck3043]

Some of you are acting like it's a huge difference between 5th worst or 6th worst. It's really not. Don't jump off the ledge just yet, at least until after the lottery.

 

[Kakko Schmakko]

difference between 5th and 7th is at least a 2nd round pick in trade up value. Never mind the higher chances to win #1 through 3.

 

[TheGortonConspiracy]

Poor Claesson

 

[Paulie Walnutz]

Challenge that

 

[EdJovanovski]

That's a good goal!

 

[Lays]

Are they seriously booing that lol

 

[Gresch04]

Incidental? Eh.

Lol at thinking they won't get the extra point

 

[will1066]

Even the refs are conspiring against the tank

 

[EdJovanovski]

Skjei pushed him in, good goal
and it was Skjei's stick pushing Georgiev

5th and 7th not 5th and 6th.

[LORDE]

And if it ends up not making a difference?

Then I’ll admit I was wrong

 

[ReggieDunlop68]

That girl behind Quinn...

is maybe 16

@will1066

 

[frozenrubber]

ALLOW THAT GOAL!

 

[effen]

Pionk facing wrong direction is amazing.

 

[Irishguy42]

DQ, pull Georgiev.

 

[EdJovanovski]

Pionk

Only one way has won cups in recent years.

 

[Kakko Schmakko]

moron Namestnikov just cost us at least a 2nd round pick because he decided to score in the last game. Get this guy out of here already.

 

[Edge]

Can’t they still finish fifth so long as they don’t win?

 

[smoneil]

who gives a ****, maybe if they finished bottom-5 they wouldn't be such a joke.

One of the most consistently successful teams since 2005, but sure. They're a joke. For any of you who were alive during the late 1990s and early 2000s, you might remember just how difficult it is for a team to wash that loser mentality out of a locker room. The only way to finish bottom 5 is to be comfortable with losing. That's not an easy culture to break, regardless of the talent you reap as a result (remind me where Buffalo and Edmonton are drafting this year again?).
