Post-Game Talk: Rangers @ Devils -- 4/13/21

[Machinehead]

Top of the charts 2 games in a row??????

Brendan Smith is the new Sisqo.

Tops the charts twice and other than that...

 

[duhmetreE]

Trouba taking over while Kreider and Zibs sleeping at the wheel.

Good.

 

[Cmox]

I knew Quinn felt putting Krav on the 4th in the 3rd balances everything out!

 

[chosen]

Actually yes totally.

You can care about whatever you want but since you love to lecture people about “what coaches do,” it would be less hypocritical of you to acknowledge that any coach would be concerned about a win when the team plays poorly. No coach is going to find it acceptable when their team plays poorly. It’s nice to come out with a win but the team has to get on track if it plays badly because those kinds of wins do not continue.

Being concerned after a sloppy or poorly played win is completely reasonable; and besides, it’s what all the coaches do, to paraphrase someone.

Coaches care mostly about winning. They get a little nutty if they win 7-5. They don't get crazy after a 3-0 win.

Quinn's primary feeling tonight isn't concern. Check out his interview.

And yet your record is a whopping 2-3-0 against us...you're not as far behind as you think.

Yeah we ususally play down to inferior teams.

He’s the what now?

 

[LokiDog]

Kravtsov reminds me of a prime Spezza a bit.

People forget how good prime Spezza was. 90 points in 68 games. 87 in 67. Had a really good stretch. 530ish points in like 480 games and was still productive after he stopped being point per game.

 

[will1066]

This might be unpopular, but Hajek had a good game

 

[Cmox]

He’s the what now?

Thong song.. was it that long ago to be not known?

Well after that Wedding season a few summers back he definitely had dumps like a truck

 

[rangerlp]

The team has made strides. If we had played this game last month we would have lost 2-1 in a shootout.

Next 3:

NYR vs NJ NJ NJ

Bos vs NYI NYI WASH

if we’re ever going to close the gap it’s going to be because of what happens right here.

 

[Harbour Dog]

And yet your record is a whopping 2-3-0 against us...you're not as far behind as you think.

Maybe if you're lucky, when we're contending for cups and you're still re-building, you guys can maintain a winning record against us.

Strong words coming from a fan of Sabres South.

Enjoy the decade+ of toiling around in the realm of irrelevance that you have laying ahead of you.

I'm 32, and I had to Google it too haha. Not my type of music though.

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

lmao NHL network score ticker for tonights game: J. Fast 3 Assists -- T. DeAngelo 2 Assists

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

I'm 32, and I had to Google it too haha. Not my type of music though.

I'm 32 also and that was one of the first CD's I ever bought with my allowance lmao. Had to get my dad's permission though they wouldn't sell it me at first

 

[SnowblindNYR]

Ed is about 12 years old.

 

[Zibanejbread]

So thrilled that Igor finally got his SO... also, so stoked Kravtsov looks great (imo) so far.

Maybe you don’t agree with the OP that 3-0 is a poorly played win. But if the coach feels the game was poorly played, he’ll be concerned.

Your premise that it’s ok to not be concerned after a poorly played win does not match up. Most people coaches and fans alike can sense when the team is playing bad.

And it is a reason to be concerned if that were the case; because games actually aren’t played in a vacuum. Struggles or successes do bleed over into future games.

Maybe the approach here is to dispute that 3-0 was a poorly played game. I do tend to think some overreact to close games against bad teams. They are still NHL teams. Most of the Devils losses are by less than the margin tonite, for example.

You don't remember Sisqo? Man, I'm old.

Thinking about paying 17.99 for CD’s back in the day.

Yeah, nowadays I just download all my music very legally.

They don't even have one now lol.

It'll likely come down to what the teams do against Boston and NJ the rest of the way.

We have 5 games left against those 2, Boston has 7.
