Post-Game Talk: Rangers @ Senators 2/21/13 - Miller Light

[LaffyTaffyNYR]

Problem is they have these speedy skillful guys dumping and chasing and they loose the puck most times down low...i agree we should let these guys play a finesse game and let the 3rd and 4th lines grind. I mean why would you grind with Gabby...lol. Makes no sense. But what will be will be.

because his system works...

 

[Zamboner]

We should throw smuckers jam jars on the ice (the plastic bottle kind) every time there's good board play.

 

[OrbitalDynamics]

When Shorts gets fired and Gaborik gets waived, can Micheletti be dismissed too?

Noooo! You can't dump Mister "Quick Release!".Besides, I drink every time he says it.

 

[Ail]

torts presser hahaha that was hilarious! Ottawa reporter got a good dose of Torts, do I sympathize (I think he was asking about Anderson, but not sure)? No, no I don't sympathize. Kreids was tripped...that was a goal also!

haha

Good.

The guy is wearing thin on me but at least he still tells like it is. **** off Ottawa if you think Kreider just decided to slide in to Anderson. ****ing Pejorative Slurs.

haha

That's why I love Torts. I don't sympathize either.

 

[NYRANGERAMI*]

i know haha, that's why i posted the february record first which doesn't look as awful as the last two games have been. If they don't turn it on to win the division give me the six seed and the south east champ. Would like to avoid that 4/5 first round match up.

I'm with you, tonight sucked, but think they will be top 8, and then anything can happen. Lgr!

lgr!!!!

 

[Dangleberry]

Don't worry guys we are only 1/3 through the season. Shortened camp, rust and players who haven't played together.

That makes too much sense for Torts to comprehend that.

 

[Graves94]

How bad is DZ hurt?

 

[Killem Dafoe]

yep, totally agreed, crazy game

regarding Richards, i'll repost this here.

The issue with Richards right now is 100% mental. What is he doing? stupid plays. blind passes, terrible high risk plays that are getting picked off and going against the other way. It's all decision making stupidity. He's not super slow and can't do anything out there, he's skating at his usual pace. His shot hasn't completely disappeared, he just has zero confidence in it right now.

it's between his ears, he's a professional, he'll figure it out, or he'll get eaten up by NY...i choose to be optimistic here.

I'm optimistic as well, I just wish he gave me something to remain positive about. Each and every game he's stays as terrible as the last. I think he could mentally get out of whatever funk he's in but he needs to just play smarter out there. These blind passes and passes to absolutely no one are getting sickening. Also, he's getting slower and slower every game. Sigh. I'm just mostly upset right now because last season we were a force. And a lot of people had us pegged as Cup favorites this year, especially with the addition of Nash. Now it seems we're back to square one. We need guys like Richards right now more than anything, it's a terrible time for him to start ******** the bed. imo. But it is early, and I'm with you. I'm going to try really hard to stay positive. lol try is the key word there.

Agreed. However as we have moved along with this season we are looking worst, not better. But the skies the limit..LGR!!!!

The collective IQ on the Sens board is hovering under 3 digits.

 

[Casper The Soy Ghost]

Why do we always put out Richards and Gaborik (especially Gaborik) when there is a shootout? Seriously they have no imagination and creativity. Gaborik always, ALWAYS goes five-hole and fails. And Richie snips the border/glass... . Am I the only one that gets annoyed when they are in the top 3?

 

[Glen Sathers Cigar]

Haha Torts was so mad in his post-game when that reporter asked him if he sympathized with Ottawa. Wtf kind of question is that? Then ask if it was intentional when all it takes is one replay to show Kreider was tripped.


On Kreider btw, I thought he played well, he's been out-playing Miller lately.



Everyone chill out. If you want to pull the ejector seat, do it now and don't come back if we start winning again. This was not a great game, but we got a point. Let's all just pray that Nash isn't concussed and doesn't miss anymore games. Pray to Jesus Nash.

and whats going to change with this stupid ass system that doesnt work?

Hopefully out for the rest of my lifetime.

 

[OverTheCap]

Sigh. Torts meant they will have to keep grinding like they did tonight so long as his top players like Richards are crapping the bed and Gabs is missing the net.

Rangers scored their goals tonight by creating screens and being active around the net - they grinded out those goals. Hardly a horrific concept like many are making it out to be.

Are they blaming Kreider???

 

[*Bob Richards*]

1) Flaming: Do not post any messages that harass, insult (name calling), belittle, threaten or mock other members. Debates are fine, but critique the opinion, not the person. Personal attacks are not permitted. Do not call other posters trolls. Do not use sweeping generalizations and plural pronouns to cloak personal attacks. For example if a poster(s) states that he thinks 'x' is a good idea, replying that "Anyone who supports 'x' is an idiot" is a personal attack. Do not start threads to call out and embarrass other members; or make posts about ignore lists.

Abide by the rules. Its getting way too testy in here.

 

[LaffyTaffyNYR]

Hopefully out for the rest of my lifetime.

You know, you shouldnt wish that, if you hate Del Zotto that much, he's an asset to get ROR..

 

[Riverdale]

Are they blaming Kreider???

I don't know, but am going to take a wild guess and say yes

Look up the youtube video "Broadway Bound Brad" it's a highlight video of Richards when the Rangers signed him. Plenty of beautiful shootout goals when he was with Dallas in that video. What did he do with his creativity? You never see him make any moves these days.

Guys! Stop blaming Gabby for always going 5 hole in the shootout.

It works EVERY TIME in practice...

Thank you.

I love how all the players suck and aren't creative but Torts should let them play a more creative style...sounds like a great idea - rely on everyone to do what they repeatedly show they can't do well.
