Post-Game Talk: Rangers vs. Red Wings | 3/19/19 - 7PM - MSG

What's the point of John Giannone's game summaries?

To reinforce being on tv is just another type of lottery.

Kind of like a few years ago when Rask **** his pants in the first period against the Rangers the day after Thanksgiving?

If you don't shit your pants the day after Thanksgiving, you had a lousy Thanksgiving.

 

[Gresch04]

So, this is a random question. Does anyone know why "flu" is a catch-all term in the NHL for any illness? Why not just call it an illness?

Probably to annoy anti-vaxxers.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

Flu is one of the easiest things to get and can easily come from overworking your body combined with colder weather. Flop sweats, random temps, body feeling depleted, etc. are all just flu things. Just seems easier rather than giving the world the full diagnosis. Also stops reporters from wanting to get too deep into begging for hippa violations lol

I get it, but why not just say illness? Or do you think it's a way to end the conversation so that reporters don't ask what kind of illness?

Rask just abruptly bounced from that game and you just knew that he butterfly'd himself right into diarrhea

You never know what can happen

Edwards and Brickley even joked about it during the intermission LOL

I'm betting on the latter

And it is probably the most common, while also being the least concerning

Nobody wants your coach telling the media that you crapped your pants...

They should say illness. Flu literally means you have a strain of influenza virus and requires a test to confirm. It’s more likely just a virus and not the flu.

 

[Alluckks]

I knew exactly what it was but I clicked anyway and still couldn't make it all the way through without laughing and cringing and having to stop it

 

[TheBloodyNine]

Gigantic loss tonight. It's tight down below right now. Need to keep on doing what we're doing.

They say Flu because when you have the Flu, you can wipe out a whole team, so it's a diagnosis they can't be vague about.

 

[Ori]

Good night guys, need to get me some. Rangers just ain't doing it for me. Lol.

I just woke up, but I saw the last 10 minutes.
Strome with a goal, Buch & Howden assist otherwise our forwards are missing in action, but it`s fine this time of the year.
Kevin assist as well, did I miss anyone?

Yeah Brendan Smith with a late goal shot from Pionkno! Not a good rebound control on that goal by the way..

Mariano laughing his ass off in the back makes the video

How do you know the horse didn't die from the Flu?

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

Mo's reaction in the background is priceless.

I don’t think elite athletes get the flu this often. I think they’re lazy and use it as a catch all for any viral bug.

One of the most dominant players in the history of sports laughing at poop. This is why we do it.

 

[ReggieDunlop68]

They all have the look of the 21st century is going to be pretty weird, but we will try to make it work..."

 

[Harbour Dog]

Even with Panarin we would be bad. We’d just be slightly less bad, which means we’d have none of the benefits of actually being good, and none of the potential consolation prizes of being worse.

I guess I’ve already come to terms with all of this, even if it’s unpleasant. For me, 2019 and 2020 were always rock bottom - not 2018.

2021 is when I expect to actually start gaining altitude. But until then, I expect turbulence.

I think Panarin would bring us back to the level we were at with Hayes and Zuccarello. So... watchable, but not what's ultimately in our best interest.

I was expecting this season to be our absolute bottom, but that is definitely not the case; I was overly optimistic in retrospect.

Yeah well tell me how that damn horse ended up dead? Hmmm...

 

[UnSandvich]

Buch played well from what limited stuff I saw. But Sad Buch makes me sad too, so can we please not have any more of that? (Sad Hank too)

How is my 1 post beating a dead horse?!? Lol.

We will probably need to tank for elite talent
