Post-Game Talk: Penguins at Rangers 12/19/2013

[Idlerlee]

If I'm Hank, I'm posses, no one did **** when he got ran. No one scored in the shootout. Awful.

Out of all the attempts, Zucc looked like he had Fleury beat, could just have lifted it over the pad.. from the sofa it looked like an easy thing to do

 

[RiceCooker]

Where was Kreider in OT and the SO...is he hurt or is AV just a dumbass !!

 

[Blueshirt Believer]

You expect too much. $7.8 million doesn't buy what it used to.

Its not a talent thing with him or lack of ability. Its an attitude problem. He is playing disinterested when he should be engaging.

If he wants to play, he can. He should be benched a game to send a message.

 

[EpicDing]

They went down 3-1 and got 2 lucky goals to tie it up. This team is a joke.

At least they didn't completely give up like they have earlier in the season. There's seriously no pleasing some people.

 

[NYRANGERAMI*]

team found a way to come back... that has to mean something...

still some weight that needs to be shed

This is true...but we played against a depleted Penguins....if they had all their starters who knows....also We should have not had to come back...the Penguins are again depleted...

 

[NYR Viper]

Just a very soft team. No fight. Pouliot showed some, but no one else. Pouliot was on the bottom of the pile with 2 players. No one else jumps in. Major problems.

 

[Brief Candle]

Yep. I don't like this team. With few exceptions, they could all **** off at this point.

 

[17futurecap]

Where was Kreider in OT and the SO...is he hurt or is AV just a dumbass !!

SO whatever, but there needs to be a good reason he wasn't out there in ot.

 

[Idlerlee]

In all this misery, I'm glad that Hagelin is getting going again, and that Hank was Hank

 

[TollefsenFan]

Sell, sell, sell.

Amnesty Richards - as I said in the "problems with this team" thread, I think he's the biggest issue we have.

Reboot and start over next year.

Nash, MDZ and Staal are the ones that suck. Staal to Carolina for Semin or someone else. MDZ and Nash for a good offensive D. We got enough stay at home Ds. What we need is a D that can support Our forwards.

 

[The Gloaming]

Why wasn't Kreider out there for the powerplay? Would have been much more useful than having nash float around out there for two minutes.

What should i be pleased with? A loss? Half of a Penguins team beat us, your happy?

 

[DudMan28]

Richards IS our offense, where you been all year?

I agree he has been most of our offense, but he really is horrible. It's amazing how he finds a way to put up points when he just looks so bad most of the time.

I'm not necessarily happy, but at least we got a point.

 

[Brooklyn Rangers Fan]

Richards IS our offense, where you been all year?

Watching the team.

Yeah, he has skill - and he gets ALL the powerplay time, so of course he gets points. (And he also scored a boatload of those points early on when he had his one good stretch of play.) We had guys who got points during the country club years too. So?

He's ****ing lackadaisical, slow as ****, makes horrifically stupid plays (as evidenced multiple times tonight during the OT alone) and, worst of all, has no intensity whatsoever. He's a cancer on the team's energy. If it was possible to cut him now, I'd say do it.

 

[RiceCooker]

I would've put Hags in the shootout before Moore or Poo...he did score on a breakaway.

 

[haveandare]

Its not a talent thing with him or lack of ability. Its an attitude problem. He is playing disinterested when he should be engaging.

If he wants to play, he can. He should be benched a game to send a message.

I absolutely agree with this. He is capable of much more than this, and he's shown it many, many, times. He needs to get a bit of a wake up call.

 

[RangersHank*]

I agree he has been most of our offense, but he really is horrible. It's amazing how he finds a way to put up points when he just looks so bad most of the time.

But without him we are much lower in the standing this year. Callahan sucks this year, Richards has been ok

 

[we want cup]

Not too disappointed. Went in expecting a loss and we got a point out of it.

Hoping that some moves will be made before tomorrows roster freeze. This team needs a serious shakeup.

Don't worry, shakeup incoming. Pyatt will be waived.

 

[JESSEWENEEDTOCOOK]

Worst Rangers team I've had the displeasure of dedicating time to. Pathetic bunch of *******.

 

[bmoak]

Not one righty in the shootout. What the ****.

That's because in New York, not only do the players suck but the coaches suck, too.

Yeah ok. What is Callahan then? What is Nash? Richards has played better than both of them this year. Our team would suck even more without him this year

 

[NoQuitInNewMexico]

I always feel like shootout order is the easiest thing for a coach to get right. They have a huge log of data from practicing breakways in practice on Hank and Talbot, they know certain guys' go-to moves are more likely to work on goalies with certain weaknesses, and they send them out from there. We just didn't score.

I hope there's a trade before the roster freeze (so wintry!), I don't really hate any of the individual parts but this is an exceptionally boring roster.

 

[Blueshirt Believer]

I absolutely agree with this. He is capable of much more than this, and he's shown it many, many, times. He needs to get a bit of a wake up call.

That is a game where Nash HAD to lead. If we were getting blown out and Nash wants to be disinterested…fine. That was a game the Rangers had an opportunity to win and didn't. Nash should have been a man possessed in the last ten minutes of that game. Un fing acceptable

 

[RangersHank*]

I'm not necessarily happy, but at least we got a point.

Yep, sucks because we didnt deserve it
