Post-Game Talk: Pens @ Rangers 4/8/21

[Machinehead]

Worst game of the year contender.

And yes, we hit two posts and missed two wide open nets. To do that and have it still look like this, you really need to get bodied.

 

[NYR94]

Valiquette made a great point, we've lost so many games we should have won, how many games did we win that we should have lost? The only game we really stole was that one game against the Caps that Mika scored late in.

Yeah he's right. Good teams find ways to win even when they don't bring their A game.

 

[Machinehead]

Way too much is being made of a vaccination that I assume was the first shot. That first shot is pretty benign.

I would buy it if we didn't drop a stinker like this every week.

 

[Tob]

We've won from 5th best odds before, we've won from 11th best odds before, we can win from 13th best odds again this year. Hey, you never know.

I’m not a coach but it might be time to break up that top line

I know it would mean having to play Lafreniere more *gasp* but come on Quinn this shouldn’t be this hard lol

 

[NYRFANMANI]

What does that have to do with the top two lines? It's Quinn, there's no question in my mind.

For example it puts more pressure on the first two lines. But anyhow back to coach Q.

Well he certainly isn't helping, being NHL-green himself. It just wasn't a smart hire. Not sure if anyone can miracle stone-hands away though ...

In the very least his time is due this off-season. We need a new injection of coaching philosophy.

 

[bobbop]

Well that game was a turd in the punch bowl

 

[Tob]

I'd love a guy like Montgomery but we might drive the guy back to the bottle halfway through the new season.

 

[eco's bones]

This game looked like something I saw in my toilet bowl this morning.

I usually hate the whole "take out the games where they scored" takes because...well, they f***ing scored, but Kreider has been a 4th liner for large stretches of the season.

Either bobbop is drinking out of eco's toilet or eco is shitting in bobbop's punch bowl

 

[LOFIN]

Shoulda went to the Yankee game again

So it was all your fault

 

[MrAlmost]

At this point if management is unwilling to do something, it's their fault.

 

[bl02]

Luckily we get an easy matchup tomorrow night...

Honestly doesn't matter you can't trust this coach and team to beat anyone in this division.

 

[17futurecap]

We could all use a pick me up

 

[bl02]

Shoulda went to the Yankee game again

Well you would have been all alone at the house that Ruth built

 

[LOFIN]

I'm not going to say anything.

 

[FireGerardGallant]

Lmfaooo I just realized there was no game today. I was wondering why none of my friends were complaining tonight in the group chat.

 

[BBKers]

David Quinn: “not shooting the puck has been a problem all year long... it’s been that way since I have gotten us here”.

And where is that precisely?

 

[SnowblindNYR]

You can't tell me this team is just so bad that they're this insanely inconsistent especially when we see how they look at times like they did the last game against the Caps. We have two top 10 players and three top 30 players on this team (last year Mika was obviously better so I dropped him some) and a top 10 at worst goalie. This is all on that absolute abortion of a coach that we have.

 

[Oscar Lindberg]

Glad they’re going Georgiev tomorrow

I’m still worried they’re going to overwork Igor in an attempt to make the playoffs and he reinjures his groin

Another one where the eye test meets analytics. Garbage game and what makes it even worse is they knew the third would be the most important period of their season.

Here is .500, which is David Quinns sweet spot.

Not good, not abysmal. Just mediocre lol

 

[HatTrick Swayze]

KZB needs to spend some time seeing other people. Kreider needs a minute reduction.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

Why is Georgiev playing tomorrow and not Kinkaid? Kinkaid has been a better goalie this year.
