Panarin literally looked like we was ready to cry on the bench so I’d guess he’s one of them.

didn't watch this game but Panarin to me is one of the guys who's actually been trying hard. I might not think he's playing the most effective way but he's going in after pucks and trying to make things happen. Maybe I'm giving him too much rope but I don't really feel like he's behind the big issues with this team right now. Dude wants to win.

e: I mean how much of giving up 6 goals is continued shit defense and poor puck management? How can we be halfway through the season and the team has absolutely no clue how to play defense? Even if the coaches are asking them to do dumb shit there's no way at this point they can continue to f***ing suck at it so bad. I see miscommunications and dumb shit all over the place when they're trying to play D, that shit should be gone by now even if you're still just bad at it

There’s nothing funny about chickpeas.

For some reason, I cannot handle chickpeas. My wife makes a hummus that everyone loves and I can barely clean the Ninja without almost vomiting

Mika @ 50 % should be attractive for quite a few teams. If the Rangers sit down with him and say they want to move on I dont think he will block a trade to a playoff team. Who wants to play for a team that doesnt want them anylonger?

At 50%? That’s quite a retention for such a long duration (even before we start dealing with NMC).

I'm ready to cry

Not questioning his effort, but if we’re talking about energy vampires on the bench, a pouty Panarin is definitely part of it.

We know who the biggest offenders here likely are.

Something is terribly wrong

 

[Gordon Bombay]

Something is terribly wrong

I know. It's a me problem. I accept it

 

[TGWL]

I gave up on this game. I'm so down on our future..I don't understand how you can make the mistake of paying 11.5/8 for a goalie, before fixing the rest of our glaring issues.

 

[will1066]

I know. It's a me problem. I accept it

Acceptance is the first step

 

[SnowblindNYR]

Still nine teams with a worse P%.

We started like 12-4 or whatever it was.

There will a bunch of teams that don't have one 12-4-1 stretch all season.

What about Felafel?

 

[SnowblindNYR]

I gave up on this game. I'm so down on our future..I don't understand how you can make the mistake of paying 11.5/8 for a terrible goalie, before fixing the rest of our glaring issues.

Fixed it for you.

What about Felafel?

Nope

 

[NYR Viper]

This game was blacked out for me, how was Borgen

Postpartum depression?
Sorry, couldn't resist.

Actually postpartum depression can affect men too, assuming you were being sarcastic.

I think that contract we will up as the worst in franchise history.

Worse than Redden, Girardi, Gomez, Drury, Zib etc

 

[TGWL]

Fixed it for you.

Is it weird that I saw the change and couldn't remember if I typed that or not? That's how bad this is.

 

[Uglybstrd]

Yes it is, but a buy-out is out of the question (the way the contract is constructed)

 

[will1066]

He choke slammed an opponent on a hockey play.

Some have dubbed it the Borgenator.

 

[kovazub94]

It’s not even about enticing another team to take on Zibanejad. I’m sure even closer to 25% would generate plenty interest. It’s his NTC that stops it all.

 

[GlasgowNewYorkRanger]

I take it Laviolette survives until at least the Chicago game, he seems immune to all this, with Drury blaming the players more. I think there is plenty of blame to go round.

 

[I Eat Crow]

Not a chance. Everyone and Ray Charles saw that he was cooked his last year in Ottawa.

I'm thinking we'll get at least 3 to 4 decent years out of Igor's contract before it becomes an anchor.

 

[duhmetreE]

Lavi is not immune. He is gone in the summer or once the tumors are removed.

There’s no salvaging this season or roster. Moves need to be made.

 

[mike14]

To all the stat needs (or just people who know which sites to look at), did we out chance them 5v5?
Special teams were a shitfight but it kind of felt like we outplayed them for stretches and then made some combination of missing the net, poor defensive coverage or lack of a timely save

 

[ReddestRum]

This game was blacked out for me, how was Borgen

Borgen saved from being the very last for a 3rd game in a row on the stat sheet came in second to last over Carrick who took 3 straight penalties with Tampa scoring on 2 of them.

But he slammed someone to the ice. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
