Post-Game Talk: pgt

[will1066]

Ottawa dominated and deserved to win, but it's hard to judge when the team has 1.5 good defenseman on the ice at the moment. Need Miller and Lindgren back in the worst way.

I can't accept this when we should've cashed in at least twice with the power play time we had.

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

the PP looked okay but the finishing was dookie and their timing was a bit off. They were zipping it around though.

Kid line was bad, obviously Makkola and Harpur were terrible and were out there every 10 seconds lol.

Mika - Kreider still invisible 5v5, nice SHG tho.

 

[Leonardo87]

My thoughts exactly. Get Lindgren and Miller back in this lineup and we will be fine. The defense is gassed and that is part of the reason for so many mistakes.

I didn’t want to be a doom and gloom when this game started, you know me it’s against my nature, Lol. But I felt this end result was inevitable. Ottawa is actually a good team now, and added even more at the TDL to give them a chance to sneak into the playoffs. Not really too upset. We gotta just get out of this somewhat rut, and still have time to do it.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

I know that defense leads to offense but we're not missing Bobby Orr. We still scored less than average against a shitty defensive Sens team. Meanwhile the Devils put up 6 (not counting the empty netter) against the Avs.

 

[Kords]

Thought Kane looked fine btw. For his first game with a new team i'd even say he looked good. Too many forced passes to him early on wasn't doing him any favors.

 

[Machinehead]

Back to back.

3-4 games with like 15-16 players.

Missing two top-4 D.

Kane hasn’t played or practiced with the team.

Sens are fighting for a wild card spot; it’s just a routine game for us in a secure playoff position.

Let’s pump the breaks on the negativity. Stupid goalie pull by Gallant, who is just not really doing much coaching. I think this team would be doing damage with Brindy, Laviolette, Trotz type of coach. Gallant is just… he lets them basically do whatever. It’s a talented group, so they win more than they lose, but there’s no strategy, no accountability, no system.

Still, the sky isn’t falling and this game means Jack shit to me.

On the team as a whole, you're right, but I've had it up to here with certain players.

 

[BBKers]

I blame this collapse on Millers saliva

 

[jerseyjinx94]

Agree generally but Saturday we’re @ Boston with 5 D and 11 F again, so now it’s 2 in a row and 6 losses in last 8. Gotta pump the brakes on that kind of streak

 

[The New Russian Five]

Basically we did what the dark years Rangers did and are getting dark years effort. Absolutely pathetic. I don't care if they're playing with no defensemen.

But you acknowledge that at the NHL level playing with a short bench over multiple games including several back-to-backs can effect a team's performance, right?

This board's penchant for overreaction is always amazing.

 

[Circus86]

Third game with 4/5 D man...back to back. No wonder ther are gassed. The third pair is a third pair for a reason. Give them 20+ minutes a night and there will be mistakes.

 

[I Eat Crow]

Kid like lays an egg as Ottawas young 1st line kicks our ass all night long.

Panarin/Kane hero ball got old real quick

Yeah, I'd throw the lines in a blender

Laf-Zib-Kane
Kreider-Trochek-Tank
Panarin-Chytil-Kakko
Vesey-Goodrow

Shit or get off the pot time for Kakko and Laf.

[SnowblindNYR]

No they haven’t. Most of the season they haven’t had a lead to begin with (which is one they are one of the best comeback teams of the season).


It’s one f***ing game. How about step away from the f***ing edge and let this team come together before judging them? f***ing impatient rangers fans are the worst in sports I swear to f***ing god.

They have tried buying their way to a cup over and over again and it never works. Didn't 94 just get a bunch of grinders? Maybe we can pull Pavel Bure, Eric Lindros, and Theo Fleury out of retirement and can score once on 5 f***ing PPs.

 

[PuckLuck3043]

This team all season has blown lead after lead after lead. They don't have effort, composure, defense, or goaltending. How are they going to win a cup?

They have a lot of 3rd period comebacks also. Give it a rest dude.

 

[irishlaxburger2]

19 giveaways, and seemingly half of them were overly forced cross-ice passes from Panarin to Kane

 

[DudMan28]

Yeah, I'd throw the lines in a blender

Laf-Zib-Kane
Kreider-Trochek-Tank
Panarin-Chytil-Kakko
Vesey-Goodrow

Shit or get off the pot time for Kakko and Laf.

I’d want to see Tarasenko and Kane swapped. Let Kane and Panarin be the facilitators

 

[17futurecap]

The best thing for the team will be after they get killed by Boston Saturday is getting a bunch of days off, and real practices in.

 

[HFsNumber1Heel]

Terrible effort. "Hey we got Patrick Kane all is well".

They were all trying way too hard. "Hey we got Patrick Kane all is well".

They played like a bunch of overexcited schoolboys when a cute girl walks in a room.

"Hey we got Patrick Kane all is well".

Panarin specifically is such a jackass some nights.

"Hey we got Patrick Kane all is well".

 

[SnowblindNYR]

Panarin was a net positive. If someone told me before the game that 88 was Jake Leschyshyn I'd believe them.

 

[The New Russian Five]

You should care because that makes a massive difference.

Like what the actual f*** with these comments? We’re missing 2 top 4 dman. Of f***ing course that’s going to make a difference.

If f***ing nuts how so many don't understand this.

 

[mike14]

Remember when everything Chytil touched went into the back of the net? 0 goals in 11 games. Yep 0.

Laf 3-1 in his last 10 and 1-0 in his last 5
KK 2-2 in 10, 1-1 in 5
Chytil 04- in 10, 0-2 in 5

When the Kids go quiet, they go submarine quiet...

 

[Machinehead]

Panarin and Kane were our only decent line 5v5

 

[will1066]

He's snake bit

I so wanted to be able to use "Senators try to pass their agenda but ran into a Fil-ibuster"

 

[Richard Banger]

Panarin was a net positive. If someone told me before the game that 88 was Jake Leschyshyn I'd believe them.

Holy f***. This overreaction says it all. Goodnight folks. See you Saturday

 

[LiveLongandProspal]

What's the difference between Ben Harpur and Niko Mikkola besides Sam butchering Mikkola's name? They play exactly the same way: like big oafs.
