Post-Game Talk: St. Louis Blues @ New York Rangers - 10/10/17

[Mac n Gs]

We were all over a team that had no legs left after the back-to-back, but just couldn't get it done. They've been improving their play as the games have progressed, so I'm optimistic.

Carey, Holden, and Kampfer need to be wearing suits or in Hartford. We need a depth scoring winger for Hayes' line.

 

[Kakko]

Get this piece of garbage "coach" off my team

The money I've dropped on tickets and merchandise has done more good for this franchise than the presence of the bubble brained idiot who thinks we should play Steven Kampfer when trying to tie the game late

 

[Casper The Soy Ghost]

Just "tank" for Dahlin. And fire AV while you're at it. That piece of shit will use Kampfer for at least 30 games this year, i guarantee it. He's found his new Tanner Glass.

Worst part is you can limit a fwd's minute. We all know Kampfer will get +16 minutes every game.

Make Messier the coach or whoever. Just throw AV to the curb with his gum.

 

[Kakko]

Also, we're luck the refs didn't call that a goal...

Amazing save by Lundqvist, obviously

 

[17futurecap]

No wonder why they were afraid to put Kampfer on waivers, can't lose a top pair dman for nothing.

 

[Machinehead]

Amazing how everyone was happy after the Montreal disaster, but panicking after this one, all because the winning goaltender stole both games.

You can't place too much weight on a 60 minute sample of goal events.

 

[mrmovies779]

Effort was there tonight,finishing wasn't.Regardless of the "fire AV" crowd,he wasn't the reason we lost.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

I guarantee that Kampfer and Holden are still in next game. When AV dies we need to donate his brain to science as surely such a moron has never walked this earth before.

 

[RangerLifer]

I'm thinking these guys just need some time playing together to jell. We did have a lot of changes this off season. It might take a month to find their game and rhythm. To be honest, I'd rather they started slow and then come on strong in the last part of the season.

Stop using logic and let us freak

 

[Ghost of jas]

Skjei needs to not have a godawful turnover.

Hank needs to not let his back be exposed so deflections like that can happen.

Someone needs to win a friggin' faceoff in an empty net situation.

Someone other than Zibanejad needs to score our goals.

Holden-Kampfer can go back to the pressbox where it belongs.

Wasn't a terrible game though...

In Henke's defense, that doesn't happen without Kampfer turning the puck over on the PK.

 

[Irishguy42]

We lost because of a stupid goal off of Hanks back, and because Hutton was a wall.

 

[Hire Sather]

I have such a fear of digging a huge hole and ruining the season.

Bad play and bad luck and we can be 2-10.

Gotta win some games and get points.

Scared, worried.

 

[Avery16]

This loss a stunning failure of our offensive game

 

[Ori]

Jeff Gorton don`t like to draft finisher it seems and here we are in the 2017/18 season - good thing that hockey is back on TV.

 

[NickyFotiu]

LOL Smith and ADA are now the missing pieces to our season? We are 0-2 with them as well. We just have to tighten up to start games, start fighting for possession behind the other teams goal line more and have Lundy out play the goalie on the other side of the ice as well.

 

[CommaSynapse]

Also, we're luck the refs didn't call that a goal...

That angle looks deceiving. The puck doesn't look flat on the ice, and it's coming in at an angle as well. It looks like save. A close save, but a save.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

BTW, Vesey/Hayes/Grabner is probably a bottom 5 FOURTH line in the NHL.

 

[Casper The Soy Ghost]

I love how AV has no patience. He shuffles lines constantly, how are you supposed to build chemistry if you change the lines every period?


Smith was real good for us last season. And he sits him for a career AHLer in Kampfer. Let Smith get into it! Yeah he wasn't good but he's better than Kampfer. You got to help Smith back because he can actually improve the D unlike Glass, oops i mean Kampfer.

 

[TheBloodyNine]

Nice, the faster the losses pile up the faster we can get rid of this awful coach we have. I swear to god he is brain dead.

 

[Griffinbw]

Oh come on. That’s not true at all and you know it. Sure they’re not great but come on...

 

[CasusBelli]

We have no one to blame but ourselves. Hutton played well and St Louis generally PKed well, to be sure, but we also failed to capitalize on a few “gimmes”. Hank was stellar. I’m generally patient with my team, and I understand that it sometimes takes a while to get the wheels rolling, but poor coaching decisions are inexcusable. AV knows his team by now; he surely has studied the opposition. How we lost worries me more than the loss per se. I’m growing tired of AV. I just can’t think of a better available alternative (certainly not Ruff). Let’s see if things turn around ...

Scared, worried.

We've been in much bigger holes than 1-3.

Be scared and worried that AV loves Kampfer and Skjei sucks if anything. But other than that...

 

[Casper The Soy Ghost]

Valiquette seems smart, fun, great at analyzing the game and spot the issues. Everything AV is not in other words.

 

[Griffinbw]

Let’s not fall apart so fast. I’d rather be able to snatch up Trotz or Quenneville in the off-season than be stuck with ruff.
