Post-Game Talk: Pointless

This Loss will teach them not to tuck polo shirts. Overconfidence.

What kind of unhinged psychopath tucks a polo shirt?

 

[Brother Mouzone]

Team tonite , it happens ..............

 

[PuckLuck3043]

Team playing with skill vs team playing with heart/fight. Skilled team ends up getting bumblefkkd off the ice.

Doesn’t seem to bode well for playoffs, regardless of who the Rangers draw.

Give me a break. They just beat Carolina in Carolina and a second of a B2B with travel. 4th game in 6 nights.

 

[HockeyBasedNYC]

3rd game in four nights.

They looked absolutely electric in the first and then the hinges came loose.

Injuries, lack of focus and a drop in desperation. Can’t forget Tampa is playing for their season.

Move on.

Right?!

Send brodzinski down, guy stinks

Tampa has the alpha energy, Rangers have so many beta players that are subconsciously wanting to be bent over and rammed.

Tampa plays with douchebag tier energy, this is something the Rangers need to learn to be like consistently otherwise they end up playing nervous and they shit themselves, Tampa is just the master of the craft it seems though. Cooper is a certified freak and I can only imagine what crazy shit he tells his players in between periods.

 

[Glen Sathers Cigar]

Schedule loss finally reared its ugly head.

That was also perfect example of how one bad mistake can completely knock a game on its head. We had total control but you make one mistake and they capitalize. Tampa isn’t as strong overall and in recent years but they still have the top end talent that they can kill you. Brodzsinski is trying to do too much there instead of making the smart play.

In the playoffs up 2-0 and controlling the game you cannot make mistakes like that. Hopefully this is a good reminder (and a 2022 flashback) as to what can happen vs Tampa. I’d rather not play Tampa in the playoffs but it’s looking like they could be who we play which would be a pretty shit first round matchup for us for the second year in a row.

 

[ReddestRum]

That tied the game.

Goals 3 and 4...all Miller.

Gus getting walked is Miller's fault? And 3 Rangers turning their back to Stampkos puck watching while Miller pressures the puck on the boards is Miller's fault?

Yes I think this is good for them long term

 

[will1066]

Give me a break. They just beat Carolina in Carolina and a second of a B2B with travel. 4th game in 6 nights.

But they do need to realize it when they're trying to force passes into coverage again and again

 

[TheDirtyH]

Right?!

It's a common look in Florida

not at all a joke

 

[FoxysExpensiveNYDigs]

Panic!

 

[PuckLuck3043]

Bench Brodzinski. He does nothing. Bring up Edstrom.

Savage.

 

[WojtekWolski86]

Something a Miller in a Rangers jersey thar insists on making bad backhand passes into the middle for turnovers. I think Miller forgets halfway through the game that he is a dman and not a forward. His wild pinches and overcommits are so painful.

We need that Mika that dug deep and took over the Pitt series. I wonder if Chytil's concussion relapse gave him some PTSD. He just looks like he is playing scared which is so odd for a veteran unless their brain has had 1 too many bruises.

 

[Brutananadilewski]

Gus getting walked is Miller's fault? And 3 Rangers turning their back to Stampkos puck watching while Miller pressures the puck on the boards in Miller's fault?

Sorry. Goals 4-5.

Don't forget him coughing up the puck which lead to the transition in the 1st place. And he did that mutliple times in the 3rd.

He did it in the final 5 minutes as well.

Three Slackers of the game:
Miller
Brodzinski
Wennberg

 

[SnowblindNYR]

Why is it always the end of the world when they lose a game? They are going to lose games especially with this schedule.

It's not the end of the world but it's not like it was just a stinker. They were DOMINATING that game, they should have won. Also, having our best team in at least 10 years and losing in round 1 because we get an awful matchup against the Hart trophy winner and the #1 PP in the league will be very Rangers.

 

[PuckLuck3043]

Yes, but I'm a firm believer in mental fatigue. It makes players do stupid things. There weren't any of those stupid things early in the game. It was pretty obvious to me.

Was having so fun spamming the NYR record without Trouba. Goddamn it

losing in round 1 will amount to the same thing no matter who we play. Tampa is so mid. They had every reason to dominate us for 60 minutes and instead needed Point to play the greatest half hour of hockey of his life to win.

 

[Kovalev27]

The tea leaves are lining up for Tampa first round. Maybe we need this to exercise the demons but there is zero reason for us to lose 4 times to this team. Sure a ridiculous loss like this happening once? Ok. 4 times no can’t allow it.

We are much much better than this group. They don’t have the D they don’t have the depth. We should have played much more conservatively at 2-0 on the road. Stupid hockey.

But this is happening. Rangers Lightning id be surprised otherwise unless we blow the division

We already beat them 5-1 and 3-1. Tonight's game was a schedule loss. A team with 5 days off and a team playing 4 in 6. We will beat them in a playoff series.

 

[CLW]

Ok we lost. Time to rebuild the D from scratch.
