Post-Game Talk: Pittsburgh Penguins at New York Rangers - October 17, 2017

[LORDE]

There’s never been a worse team in the NHL in the first AND last minute simultaneously

 

[Irishguy42]

Am I crazy, or was AV clearly puking on the bench right before OT?

He saw into the future and saw McDonagh's horribad turnover.

 

[Machinehead]

That`s it. The team will not gain their confidence by this ****ing loss. Embarrassing.

That's up to the coach.

He could talk about the positives and come back with the same lineup. But this is AV.

He'll scratch Buchnevich or something.

 

[Abooch68]

I’m just speechless. How many things have to happen in succession to lose the game like that. You couldn’t set that up again even if you tried.

 

[Kaapo Cabana]

Welp.

Getting married on Friday and won't have to watch this sorry ass team for the next 3ish weeks.

Maybe when I come back AV will be gone

(This game wasn't his fault but still)

 

[JT Kreider]

McDonagh a top 15 defensemen my ass.

 

[DudMan28]

Don't know how it's AVs fault our $8M goalie gives up a goal from behind the goal line and captain ding dong coughs it up for a 2-0 in front of the net.

 

[Fugazy]

Just fire this coach already and move on.
What an embarrassment.

 

[hi]

McDonagh and Kreider should absolutely not be untouchable on the trade market

 

[mrhockey193195]

Shattenkirk, McDonagh, and Henrik should be ashamed of themselves. I cannot believe how bad Shattenkirk has been this year. McDonagh with two Gretzky-esque assists, one in OT and one in the first period to Crosby. What a f***ing joke.

Nash was beastly in the second half. I was impressed by Miller and ADA as well.

 

[ColonialsHockey10]

Rangers played well tonight. I had a blast, watched the entire 2nd and 3rd sitting next to Ron Duguay. He was showing me pics of his lady friend.

Shit goaltending and our idiot captain ruined the night. It's amazing what we have to endure on a game by game basis. It's never easy.

 

[2Leetch_94]

Tough to win when your best players play like that. Goals 4 & 5 for the Penguins should be on a bloop reel.

 

[Jauffre]

Ryan McDonagh's best hockey is behind him.

 

[Siddi]

I dont even care that McD f***ed up. This game shouldnt have gone to OT.

 

[mrmovies779]

Its so typical. Mcdounagh and Lundqvist blew it

Mcd and Shattenkirk.if Kevin never touches the puck play is dead,face off outside the zone.

 

[CasusBelli]

The loss is on the players — not the coach — but I’m still not opposed to exploring alternatives behind the bench ...

Good game overall — certainly entertaining.

 

[mike14]

When your two best players do that....terrible loss after a great job to come back
Liked Miller's game, DeAngelo, Zucc was good as was Zbad, Grabner and Vesey. Steal pretty good, Nash did everything but score

The 5 on 3 was terrible, the defensive zone passing was worse

 

[Machinehead]

McDonagh a top 15 defensemen my ass.

Yep, one bad play and f*** his whole season, amirite?

 

[Hire Sather]

That really hurts, needed to walk off the ice with a .

Hurts a lot more than just losing a point.

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

AV's gonna stick with these lines and pairings. He's gotta everywhere where he wants them. Maybe he'll add Holden to the lineup for DeAngelo.

 

[Alluckks]

Its so typical. Mcdounagh and Lundqvist blew it

No clue what the "typical" means. Not to mention you can't even spell his name right. It isn't even like you are replacing letter or shortening it, you are adding a letter, you're making it harder on yourself.

 

[Bob Richards]

On the bright side, after all these years, the Rangers power play is finally great and it only took until absolutely everything else about the team was garbage.

 

[Jersey Girl]

Shattenkirk & McDonagh = EPIC FAILURE

My God they are both pathetic.

 

[TheTakedown]

Losing has infected this team like a virus. When your captain makes a rookie mistake like that, it is truly embarrassing.

Microcosm of this teams problems

 

[mrhockey193195]

Not McD's best night... first ices the puck, and then gift wraps it to Kessel for the overtime winner..

Ah well... the team was quite good today i thought, hope they bring that with them and build on it.

Don't forget his pass to Crosby in the first.
