Welcome, solid 2nd post. (not sure if serious tho) lol

Why wouldn't I be?. Go right to the top. Looks like a train wreck so far to me. What say you?.

Bad mistakes happen, just because the team is in a bad situation standings wise doesn't mean he's going to be perfect. But he's had a great season so far and he was good tonight for the most part but made a couple of awful mistakes.

No way am I expecting anyone to be perfect. I'll settle for competent at this point. He is trying too hard. When it's going bad, simplify and make the sure play.

Is he not working the broadcasts anymore? I just realized I haven't seen him in a while. It's all Vally now, it seems.

I asked and all he said was he wasn't working that night. Was definitely doing the meet and greets in between periods, but not sure if he still does the broadcasts.

Cool guy nonetheless.

 

[Abooch68]

Devils are 5-1 and are actually fun to watch.

 

[silverfish]

I knew it!

Either way, even with how ugly it gets, I better not see any fair weather fans throw their jerseys on the ice like those losers in Edmonton and Toronto did a couple years ago. There's no room for that in this fanbase. The jersey means too much.

Unless its a Lundqvist jersey. I would be cool with that.

 

[DanielBrassard]

Buch only gets 5:49 of 5v5 ice time, I don't understand that.

He was on the other night. He's just not a nightly guy like Al And Vally.

So with this loss, what are the new chances of making the playoffs?

 

[Machinehead]

If McDonagh finishes top 5 in Norris voting then I'll eat your hard drive.

If he finished top 5 in xGF%, I wouldn't really care what the voters think.

 

[Hire Sather]

I knew it!

Pretty much sums up what we have watched the first 7 games.

 

[ReggieDunlop68]

Lundqvist failed us again. Glad we are paying him this much.

Do you understand contracts, lengths of contracts, and why someone receives a given contract at a certain previous point in time taking performance at that specific time and previous resume into account?

 

[TheTakedown]

He's a shell of what he was in 2012-14 and his reputation is living hard off those years.

Funny, that's exactly what machinehead said about mcdonagh last week

 

[Machinehead]

Buch only gets 5:49 of 5v5 ice time, I don't understand that.

BTW, Buch is ahead of McDonagh in the top 20 of that xGF% list.

But yeah, 4th liner.

 

[Abooch68]

On sportsclubstats, Rangers were 31 out of 31 (last) in percentage to make the playoffs.

[Riche16]

As one of the most consistently negative posters on this forum, you saying McDonagh is "fine" is particularly head scratching.

Ehhhh the eye test / advance stats dispute is in play here for sure.

McDs adv stats = good

Has he played that way? Ehhhhh not so much. Tonight’s Gaffs aside even

 

[Hunter Gathers]

Game shouldn’t even have gone to OT. If we get even adequate goaltending, we win. Blech. McD, too. Lol.

 

[Machinehead]

Did AV just agree with me?

I'm itchy.

 

[NYR Viper]

Why the hell is Buchnevich only playing 6 minutes. And why does no one ask AV this question.

[Hunter Gathers]

That’s also an old way of thinking. Rewarding for past performance with little regard for the future. It leads to overpaid players like Lundqvist and others who are not worth their contracts.

 

[Hunter Gathers]

Why the hell is Buchnevich only playing 6 minutes. And why does no one ask AV this question.

Because reasons.

 

[Machinehead]

Please, the Rangers make me nauseous enough.

 

[will1066]

It's like he lifted that language from the recent Lyft commercials.
