Post-Game Talk: Senators @ Rangers

[Kwayry]

out of shape and coaching staff felt it was better for him to sit. Honestly I agreed, but I felt one of eminger or hamrlik was sat for Gilroy. Gilroy has a lot of speed and think that was needed against a team line the senators.

the coaching staff can kiss my hiney. especially that loser Sully, what a name. Sully a girl's name

torts press conferences...always enjoyable

Team ran out of gas in the second half of the third tonight. It happens.

 

[Kwayry]

Last year's team was clutch on back to back, this team is, what is the word I am looking for ... , yella
(for the old timers who remember the sting)

I just think they are not well enough conditioned yet to play that style back to back, it is coming, but needs a couple more weeks

I just don't understand how you break up Hags-Step-Nash.

torts + beaver = death

 

[HatTrick Swayze]

Richards

I guess I should say there is no way I will ever agree withthat logic.

Team is on a winning streak, Richards misses 2 games...start him on the 3rd line and go from there. And if it were anyone else I have no doubt they would have.

 

[Doctyl]

team needs more kreider

 

[Riverdale]

team needs more kreider

How is he doing in CT anyways ?

 

[Callagraves]

Richards Scores
Nash Scores.

Yet we ***** about how he could break up the Stepan Nash Hags line. If you break up a line and create a new one, and that new one goes out and brings home 2 goals, with every player logging a point, that line was a success.

Breaking up that line did not lose this game. No other line scoring did.

was scoring a ton. Let him keep doing that for a while though

 

[Nac Mac Feegle]

torts + beaver = death

so....torts + beaver = safe?

 

[Doctyl]

think he had 4 goals in 3 games last time i checked. could someone confirm or correct this

 

[Doctor King Schultz]

At least Richards scored on a pretty sweet shot.

 

[Jarkko Immonen]

This is accurate, but they were mostly goals coming from him planting himself in front of the net on powerplays. Not taking away from him...but he still needs to show more. He's skating with a lot more confidence and swagger, that's for sure.

 

[BonkTastic]

who are you and what is this?

We're not sure yet either.

Is anyone else worried that we might be a little TOO reliant on Rick Nash? Look at our record with and without him.

Now granted, Nash has stepped up and become a monster with Richards playing poorly, then not playing at all, and Gaborik has been slumping, but still making some impact, but without Nash, how many of these games do we win?

Our scoring is still too top heavy. If Callahan, Nash or Stepan are off, that could be the game. We need to be getting at least a goal or two from our bottom six every few games. SOME secondary scoring.

Pyatt scored a few early, then slowed down scarily, Miller has only scored in a single game, Kreider and Asham each had one goal while here, and after that, it's a ton of zeros.

Halpern, Boyle, Powe, Bickle. Not a goal between 'em. Boyle and Halpern have one assist each.

I know you look to your top six to score, but we've seen what happens if a few players are off. We're winning games, but we still don't look like team that can gut it out if it has to.

We need a 3rd line. Not 2 4ths

::ahem::

called it.

I'd leave him down there longer. No need to rush him

 

[Nac Mac Feegle]

so can we replace torts with ice girls?

lol!

A lot of people focus on Torts' constant ranting and raving, but the key to his success as a coach is the psychological component. I wouldn't be surprised if he has a psychology degree, or is getting a lot of advice from someone with one. It's all mental with him.

At least Richards scored on a pretty sweet shot.

Not taking anything away from the shot, it was a great one-timer. But Lehner was in awful position there...

Nonsense, both goals were either a weak floater from the blue line. Or an outside shot the goalie should have saved.

The line had very little offensive zone pressure in that game. Steps with Hags gives a lot of support down low. Richards has a tendency to let Hagelin do all the work. Richards contributed very little on the cycle tonight. Since we weren't possessing much, Nash almost never saw the puck..
