Post-Game Talk: The Return of Bozo Funyuns and the Passionless Fruit

Fox and Lindgren were awful. Shesty needed to make a few tough saves that he failed to make.

I thought Laviolette came off as clueless. His lines made no sense.

 

[Bacon Artemi Bravo]

Which is why you would sit Mika.

I'm all for that. Just not for giving anyone more minutes because they cried in the media.

 

[mas0764]

This is gonna end in disaster.

 

[Good Intentions]

Is Laviolette getting orders from above to ride out with 93 and 20?

 

[mas0764]

The right move is to trade off Kreider Smith and Lindgren at the deadline. Fire Lavi at the end of the season and trade zib in the off season. That’s the best reset you going to get.

Rangers next year will have a #1C and #1D along with a top 10 winger in the league. Build around them with a mix of vets and youth and we’ll be golden.

Yep we will be a solid second round exit team again.

 

[noncents]

This is gonna end in disaster.

eh. there's only 2 ways for it to end, and after the best regular season of our franchise last year it ended the same way it will end this year.

 

[mas0764]

The problem is that a majority of the draft choices fail
Rangers drafting sucks
Time to get new scouts and talent evaluators

The problem is that we can’t develop talent.

 

[Bacon Artemi Bravo]

Might sound dumb but glad kreider was at least breaking his stick on the bench. More emotion than we've seen from him all year.

 

[Good Intentions]

I think 93 is done. Family, personal interests, body

I think 20 has something left to give. I’m just not sure if it’s here.

 

[tiggles]

Should have added more protection on that draft pick, because it certainly seems like that 14-16 spot is going to be right where the team lands. At least the first round is pretty mid this year.

 

[mas0764]

I love Rangers fans that hate this team doing a victory lap. And yeah, this team sucks this year. And yes Igor is a big reason for it, but so has the rest of the team been. But I love your victory lap that you're doing so you can brag about how you've hated a team that had 107+ points for three straight seasons, including a Presidents' Trophy, and two ECFs. Congratulations, I guess.

People don’t hate the team, they hate that the team dies stupid things that won’t result in winning the Cup.

 

[TheWrongWay]

I'm on the @TheWrongWay results-oriented train. I don't care how you do it, whether it's skill or will, you have to win puck battles. We were demolished in that department today. @TheWrongWay can close $50M deals in minutes under pressure.

You must also be from NYC because, in true NYC style, the story gets more ludicrous with each mention. I may need to talk up my glorious failures and implosions before you say I sold Mars to the Martians.

 

[Chytilmania]

Panarin is as much done as Zibanejad. He's toast.

Wouldn’t mind moving him for a haul, top center or LHD prospect, but I don’t see it happening.

"this trade will save the team"

View attachment 971077

Same shit, same homers peddling it. This time we are gonna be good enough.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

Might sound dumb but glad kreider was at least breaking his stick on the bench. More emotion than we've seen from him all year.

Even if it's all for naught that's still more emotion than I've ever seen out of Mika.

 

[Kovalev27]

Mr “reset the market” again fails to give his team a chance to win…0.792

I was there today he was absolutely abysmal. In his heels from puck drop. Can’t win games like this. Every chance bruins got went in. That 5th goal on the next shot after we score to make it 4-2 back in the game early third and he gets beat from I95 south clean? Just laughable at that point. Literally the fans were laughing at him

Swayman made plenty of big stops at 0-0 and 1-1 and 2-1. Not a lot to ask your goalie to make a friggen save in a game

We can't speak of this because we need to trash the rest of the team to max capacity and we can't do that if ever admit the goalie sucks. This is basically the emperor has no clothes.

To be fair, I don't think you can judge an athlete's effort or care level by how he/she outwardly appears.

I am very demonstrative. But I've played with people in various sports who were stoic and almost looked detached, who I knew were super passionate about winning and giving their absolute best effort. People are unique and do things in different ways.

Semi-related, but I also realize athletes are human and capable of being as fallible as we all are.

I admire the tenacity of some players. But if some player got badly concussed and fears permanent long-term damage, as an example, I can also understand their fear. This is their job, yes, but they may not want to suffer permanent irreparable damage for a job.

I think most of us, including pro athletes, want to be able to be there to share a full life with our friends and our family (especially if someone has kids).

I don't take this crap too seriously. I have no control over the team. If it's fun to watch or shoot the shit about, I do so. If it's not fun, I do something else. It is, after all, only a game.

 

[bleedblue94]

can Fox and Lindgren play any worse? My god that was a horrid performance.

Pump the brakes, you can't criticize fox around here. Everything is lindgren's fault!!!

The problem with Mika is he's playing like he doesn't care and looking like he doesn't care reinforces that. If he were showing emotion, even if it would have no practical benefit I think he would just be more likeable. It's hard to tell if Mika doesn't care or cares too much but can't show it.

As far as concussions go, didn't he have his last one years ago and before all of his best seasons? Plus, watch Chytil play with reckless abandon despite his concussions.

 

[Clark Kellogg]

Listen, I had a lot of suggestions today.

It has an art deco feel and it's staying.

I was getting more of a Strawberry Alarm Clock Vibe.

I only used concussions as an example, not really tied to any specific player. Just saying I can see many sides to things and can have empathy to an athlete not wanting to suffer irreparable damage for the sake of a job.

On Chytil: as I am sitting here with my 4th major concussion, and also listening to my mom repeat things to me 7x with vascular dementia caused by a TBI, Chytil honestly worries me.

I truly admire the courage Chytil exhibits, but also feel tremendous concern for his long-term health. He is so very likable and still so damn young. I truly hope his health holds up.

I won't lie Chytil was one of my favorites. It really bothered me when fans would say how he's made of glass and should trade him. It felt...insensitive. The guy gives it his all regardless of the dangers it poses. He loved being a hockey player.

DrEveryone wants a better partner for Fox, but Fox has been trash in the D-zone- Slow, weak, and soft

Speaking of a better partner for Fox. Mayb Marriage Life doesn’t suit him?

How do you get a LI girl to stop having relations?

Marry her.
