Post-Game Talk: Thread

They just refuse to play normal NHL hockey. They wanna play patty cake and reverse-o-rama. It fails constantly. They keep doing it.

Complete aversion of contact in the neutral zone.

Sell Fox and Igor before their NMCs hit. These are your best players and they are inspiring people to play like complete garbage.

 

[Jaromir Jagr]

Better they miss than squeak in and go out in the first round.

 

[zlev]

next coach who pulls the goalie on a power play with more than 1 minute left in the game gets sent to the gulag

Emerging from my flu induced coma to say I hope they raise a banner to the rafters of Sam eating pizza next week

Literally a season ending loss.

To do it against this Penguins team, missing Crosby and Malkin, with Igor yet again getting outplayed. Just putrid.

I don’t know why I believed they could catch the playoff spot. That’s over now.

I remember watching Georgiev and watching Igor and think when Igor has stinkers at least he owns up to them. I thought the big difference between Georgiev and Igor was the quality of a person he was. But I'm done with him after the 11.5M heist. He's a f***ing greedy bum. This is also worse than the Daniel Jones contract. Jones sucks. Igor is just a mental f***ing little person.

Very good! One loss closer to being sellers and removing some anchors. That has to be the lone goal now.

I don't know what us fans are expecting when we have a team that doesn't f***ing forecheck, doesn't push the puck to the middle of the ice in the offensive zone, prioritize deflections from shots from the point over actual raw offensive (do we even try to go for rebound shots or are in position for a rebound? NO. Because the forwards are facing the blueline for deflections), how many turnovers so we give up a game, why do players refuse to backcheck?, why haven't we come up with a viable system and prioritize defense over offense, why is it every Ranger player's prerogative to pass in prime shot areas? / drive the zone and then pass it back to D-men that don't want to skate / east-west a pass for a turnover?

Lafreniere is very quickly becoming one of my least favorite players to watch play. His lack of ability to keep his feet moving is so utterly aggravating it’s hard to express. He’s constantly getting the puck while standing still or shortly after getting the puck, he immediately stops and pulls up.

Surely Montreal would love him. US for Poutine: Laffy for Caufield. Make it happen Drury. Remind Montreal how amazing everything French is and that every player on their roster should be francophone.

Hope passes. Vali is taking my material lol

 

[Boris Zubov]

Vally calling them out. Make him the GM.

they're always looking for an easy, unexpected play rather than driving ahead.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

Well coached team with hungry players. Our guys are the idiots who go out drinking four times a week, never show up to class and are then surprised that the final exam they crammed for got an F.

Laviolette is an utter disgrace of a coach. If Drury had any f***ing balls he'd f***ing fire him before tomorrow's game. But he won't. Just like he gave in on the 11.5M anchor of a contract.

 

[Slaydagnar]

Laf again another garbage lazy ass defensive effort. I would sell that contract as well. Zero leadership and character

 

[NewLife]

But have JT taken the boys out for a coked out bender yet?

 

[RangersFan]

Look at all these sad sack interviews. This team isn't making the playoffs. They aren't liking hockey at all. Miller is going to have to bully the entire team.

he sucks. i f***ing hate this bust of a 1st overall pick.

 

[Siddi]

This loss is on Lavi. Why the f*** did he start tinkering with the lines when leading 2-1? What the actual f***!

 

[effen]

I cannot reiterate enough that you have to sell the best players on the team. The best players will inevitably be your leaders and these guys are passive low effort low energy malcontents. Panarin is the biggest offender.

Pittsburgh just proved you can win with a roster of ham n eggers if they give a shit and play normal hockey. Elite talent is not necessary. Being a professional is.

 

[Whoot Whoot]

how many goals have we seen Lafs man score while he is coasting

 

[will1066]

Path of least resistance became the mantra

 

[SnowblindNYR]

Did we really give up 0 shot attempts in the 3rd? And still lost?

Have we ever given up 0 shot attempts in a period since it's been tracked?

The quality of shot attempts we had in the third, we might as well have had 0 shot attempts as well.

 

[DudMan28]

I’ve never disliked a Rangers team as much as this one. Just a completely unlikable bunch.

Hope Drury does the right thing and sells off a few guys. There are still enough guys to build around short term, but in no way should we be buyers.

 

[JESSEWENEEDTOCOOK]

Vally calling them out. Make him the GM.

unironically yes

 

[CasusBelli]

I’ve had enough of Fox. If you’re an undersized defenseman, you better be a great skater. And leave the defeatist, bland attitude at home kid. Pretty passes and the occasional snipe aren’t enough. Not at $9MM per year.

 

[Boris Zubov]

unironically yes

I'm 100% serious
