Post-Game Talk: Rangers @ Canes

[Crease]

We need to take drastic action re Lafreniere and Kakko immediately. I don't know what that should be but the status quo isn't working.

The biggest concern I have is the apparent lack of concern from the organization. Chytil, Kakko, Laf is a pants on fire problem right now.

 

[CupSeeker]

Biggest takeaway is Geo. Although a good stopper of the puck and very athletic, his inability to handle the puck and control even the simplest shot leads to way too much d-zone time. He's good but Shesty is just so much better that against a swarming team like the Canes, it makes a huge difference. Also, Nemeth still sucks. F-TDA

We are playing the pens in the first round book it.

 

[Boom Quack]

Positives:
-Powerplay was fantastic
- Goodrow's play today
-i turned off TV before Canes Game celebration thing.

 

[Shesterkybomb]

Game was lost before it started. Gallant doesn't have what it takes IMO he needs to adjust real real fast

Whether it's a personnel issue or a system... This team 5v5 is embarrassingly bad. We are the worst 5v5 team in the league. There's no excuses.

You can point fingers to a lot of people.... EVERYONE SUCKS 5v5. Panarin. Zibs. The kids. EVERYONE LOOKS LIKE BEER LEAGUERS

We essentially have 0 top 6 RW's, a 3c that can't do anything right now and our best line the last two games is our 4th. Also...we have Nemeth.

 

[tlk]

Did anyone expect anything different? Lmao

Not demoting Fil and persisting with scrubs? Well I guess we are expecting this game in game out, but...

f*** you Gorton for getting rid of TDA, you utter cancer to this organization. And f*** you Gallant for starting Georgiev you f***ing imbecile. The average 5 year old would have started Shesterkin.

Are you sober during these tirades? that would be impressive.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

Honest to God, short of raping/killing someone I don't give a f*** what TDA does. these guys aren't role models to me, I want to win.

Bingo count how many times Shesty starts a breakout. 7,8,9 times a game. AG zero

"But the Standings"

Truly hope that game was an eye opening experience for the standings guys on here. They did nothing but prove their detractors right tonight.

Penguins now 1 point back.

So f***ing what!! We are 16 games over .500 and are making the playoffs and the rebuild ain’t even over so shut the f*** up

 

[bobbop]

The good news is a)the Rangers don’t see these guys again until March and b) the Coyotes are at MSG tomorrow.

You were literally walking back your hate after the Toronto game.

1-1 and 2 points is fine out of these games. We have obvious weaknesses we need to improve. No denial there.

 

[Kords]

Doesn't have to be so drastic. Hire a skills coach, hire a skating coach. Then hire a witch doctor to remove all the remaining Quinn lectures out of their brains.

This. Hire who ever the heck you need to to work with these kids. Best of the best. This teams future hinges on them producing.

As HFNYR has said, the analytics don’t matter. Doesn’t matter if we’re analytically the worst team in the league, all that matters is results!

 

[mike14]

Full credit to the Canes, they completely dominated us, but my god that was hard to watch at times. GOt absolutely nothing going 5v5 and our premier forwards were invisible for 85% of the game.
Shows that we are at least a step behind the true favourites for the cup. I can't see us getting 4 wins against the Canes as currently constructed.

4th line tried, Goodrow tried, I liked Schneider's game. Every else ranged from 'meh' to 'sucked'. Nemeth needs to sat in favour of someone younger/better.

Kids mostly invisible again (most memorable moment between KK, Laf and Chytil was probably Laf's penalty). Schneider shouldn't look more dangerous in the o-zone than all 3 of them combined.
We are getting to the weird spot where there doesn't appear to have been any improvement/development to their games through half a season. If the plan is to legitimately compete in the small window where we've got Panarin and Shesty locked up along with low-cap hit youth, then we really need to see something soon

The bars look dynamic. Kinda.

 

[CupSeeker]

What did he do last month?

He was still a jerkoff. Remember, he was fine here for a while. The Canes will get tired of him once the honeymoon period wears off.

 

[Siddi]

What happened to playing your best goalie against top teams and let the backup play the league gutter on a freaking b2b.

 

[TheBloodyNine]

So f***ing what!! We are 16 games over .500 and are making the playoffs and the rebuild ain’t even over so shut the f*** up

Great, we're a first round exit in the playoffs. But keep watching those standings man, they certainly tell you more than the team's actual play on the ice.

 

[DoingItCoolKiwi]

We need to take drastic action re Lafreniere and Kakko immediately. I don't know what that should be but the status quo isn't working.

Put them on the same line. Then they'll suffer together which eases the pain

Dude the Rangers are stacked at RD, DeAngelo was never going to be on the team past last season anyways. It just so happened that him being a gigantic asshole lead to him being removed from the team early

 

[Machinehead]

The bars look dynamic. Kinda.

They are dynamic.

Well, for one player they are.

 

[bl02]

I thought having young dynamic forwards on elc would be so key... oh well

 

[TheBloodyNine]

What happened to playing your best goalie against top teams and let the backup play the league gutter on a freaking b2b.

I think they call that "Bad coaching"

He's 0-4 with these decisions. And I can't even completely blame Georgiev tonight.

Who cares, man? 1 goal and 2 assists at the end of the day for him.

Fox meanwhile got clowned on the Canes' second goal trying to do Fox things that didn't fool anyone
