Post-Game Talk: Olli Reacts Only

[SA16]

If CK is not at least 90% he should not be playing. I feel like I have said that for months.

Usually (not always) that is a player issue. Know who your guy is and do not jump on until your guy is there. Its not that complicated. If your guy does not come then do not go. If your player is not on the bench do not touch the puck. The refs give a little leeway so you really do not have much of an excuse.

The too many men is almost always a player issue or an assistant coach issue. The head coach generally is not the guy controlling every single line change. It's not a youth league where he's tapping guys on the back and telling them to go on the ice. MSG refuses to ever show why these penalties occur (they just show the count of 6 guys on the ice) so it's hard to identify the cause from what we can see.

Is the miller at the top K’Andre or JT?

 

[Boris Zubov]

He had a shift from 14:51 to 15:11 and one from 17:37 to 18:37.

That seems pretty normal? Obviously the first shift was short and I don't know why as there wasn't a whistle.

So two shifts in the last 6 minutes. Sorry but that's not ok when you look at the game Jones played. That's on the coach.

 

[Cusedog]

Would anyone even notice if Laffy did not show up. I notice anytime Rempe is not in the lineup, and I am starting to feel the same way about Berard.

One last thing, Shesterkin has cost us 3 or 4 points in the last week alone. Against the Caps and Leafs he faced something like 25 shots and 17. So spare me wah wah wah the shots against. Sometimes goalies face a lot of shots. When it's a few shots all you hear about is how he needs to face more shots to get in the game.

Edit: This is a reasonable take, no caps, cursing, or excamaltion points. This guy is a f***ing liability like I've never seen before.

This was a beat down today brother, blame the skaters for blowing the second point.

 

[SA16]

His ice time was limited after the senators made it a 3-2 game, he got skipped over and didn’t play until after the game was tied.

He took the first shift after they made it 3-2? That goal was 10:16. He was then on from 10:16 to 11:04. Then he missed one shift.

And if that is true all that means is they played him even MORE early in the period than others (with a 2-1 and 3-1 lead) considering he got his most EV TOI % in the 3rd than the 1st or 2nd.

Bozo

 

[mrmovies779]

Can't wait for Lavi to scratch Jones for CDH tomorrow....our offense should be much improved after that!

 

[MrAlmost]

This is a violently untalented hockey team and they should tear it down until the only remains are "New York" and "Rangers."

Wouldn't mind them getting rid of those 2 things too at this point.

The guys know who they are changing for. It's almost always miscommunication between the players being changed for.

Usually it's because someone starts coming to the bench and then they backtrack because the puck or opposing player is coming and the other guy already jumped on.

 

[LiveLongandProspal]

Is there any question that Drury will hire Sullivan in the offseason? I'm sure he'll try to retain Peca and maybe Muse, but it's so f'n predictable.

Yea yet it's almost always blamed on the coach when the coach likely has almost nothing to do it. It occurs even more often now because teams REALLY try to push it with the early line changes. Watch any changes. There's often like 8 guys on the ice because they jump out early. When they go out too early and something weird happens it turns into a TMM.

It's especially easy to see if you go to a game and sit up top across from the benches so you see it all game.

 

[Gordon Bombay]

Considering they said we were 22-1-3 with a lead going into the third this year it would seem to me that this was *not* what we have been this year.

I wasn't being that literal. We're obviously not the Islanders

 

[DanielBrassard]

He took the first shift after they made it 3-2? That goal was 10:16. He was then on from 10:16 to 11:04. Then he missed one shift.

So he played the first shift after the goal, then had a 20 second shift with just under 4 minutes left and then didn’t take a shift until after the tying goal. I guess I was mistaken but then again one 20 second shift in 6 minutes. How many shifts did Soucy have after the game was 3-2?

 

[Lua]

Only the truly bad teams lose games this important in this fashion. Another banger in one of the most disappointing seasons I can remember.

Watching Stutzle drive play, attack the net and single-handedly generate offense is just depressing.

 

[Filthy Dangles]

The coach can be blamed but not because he told the wrong player to go out or something, which might be the implication or though of uninformed people.

Blame can be handed down for not disciplining them and simply solving that problem which is a pattern. However you have to, that's his problem.

Drury should focus on keeping his own job. Hiring someone Pitt can't wait to get rid of is not how to do it.

And yet when the chart was the opposite of this against the Leafs you still couldn't blame Shesterkin. The skaters gave him a 3-1 lead with under 10 minutes to go and he shit the bed like he always does. You could have put a cardboard cutout of a goalie in the net in the last 10 minutes and done better. Skaters aren't absolved but when you get a 2 goal lead and blow it especially with how clueless he looked on the last two goals it's on you.

If that’s true I would hope so he was arguably their best defenseman all game. But then as the game gets into a higher leverage scenario the coach limits his ice time. 1 goal lead late in the 3rd.

 

[RangerBoy]

Giannone stat on the postgame. The Rangers have played 29 games against teams in playoff position. The Rangers have won a grand total of 9 games.

 

[will1066]

They need to figure out a way to get Brady here. Skill and snarl

 

[KevinFinnerty]

Thanks Parsinnen for that stupid ass penalty that opened the flood gates

 

[KevinFinnerty]

We need to get better on the PP just shoot the f***ing puck

 

[17futurecap]

Giannone stat on the postgame. The Rangers have played 29 games against teams in playoff position. The Rangers have won a grand total of 9 games.

They are 31-31, that’s not surprising. They are a middling 500 team. 20 more games and it’s over, or 20 more games and a first round loss it’s over.

The league wanted parity, they got it, with just a bunch of bad teams.

Exciting and bad > boring and bad

When exactly does the "exciting" portion kick in?
