Post-Game Talk: Thread

Ages of the team’s top-6 forwards: 33, 33, 33, 31, 31, 23.

We chose 4 forwards in the top 10 of the draft over 3 years & they all busted. Only the Rangers. LOL

I expect blood to be spilled tomorrow.

That miller trade is going to haunt us. This team stinks and isn’t going to be much better next season. Probably worse. Needed to reset and take a step back but the GM couldn’t afford to so now the rangers are stuck. Drury is the worst thing to happen to this franchise in recent memory.

Also the nhl product is f***ing garbage. Hard to watch.

Unfortunately I have to agree. As much as JT has matured we needed less 32 plus year olds not more.
We needed a decent first rounder to actually draft a center for guys like GP actually have a center to play with.
Yeah yeah I know Chytil's injury history but if we miss the playoffs this year we basically have one or two more years before JT starts his sharp decline.

Jesus Lavi is so checked out

 

[Cusedog]

Lack of Power Plays = Lack of overall effort. This team has a worth ethic problem which makes watching them a major struggle.

Good point Lindgren hasn't been cut in a while.

 

[Crease]

Vali did not hold back, said the younger guys are gonna be ruined by these vets

Why work hard when the senior employees produce crap work, get all the good assignments, and get fat bonuses at the end of the year. Just wait it out until they retire and slide into those cushy roles.

 

[LokiDog]

I stopped posting. Because I’ve been right since 20 games ago but the MILDEST uptick in performance lead to the exact same type of posts that echo the front office mindset we all claim to decry. This team is not winning eff all. It isn’t “anything can happen once you’re in” or “a hot goalie can carry you as long as you make it”. It’s “this pile of poo has some sprinkles on top, so I might take a taste”. Jokes on you.

No Crosby , No Malkin ....No Problem......if you're playing the Rongos .

Why didn't you use the VCR at your parents place?

"I need to record!"

"I told you to get some blank tapes off ebay! There's no tape! Don't record over my Golden Girls episodes!"

"Godammit, ma!"

The Kak escaped just in the nick of time. 17 pts in 23 games with SEA last time I checked.

Brett Howden escaped

 

[Filip Chytil]

Perhaps Drury thinks 33 is the new 23?

 

[SnowblindNYR]

He shouldve been fired in December. This team does not respond to him. Panicking with the line juggling tonight. Team not ready to play of course.

It's so weird how it looked like the team went from responding to him fairly well last year to this year him being uncool uncle at Thanksgiving dinner.

I see what you did there

 

[Filip Chytil]

Brett Howden escaped

Indeed. Now he has as many Stanley Cups as this franchise has had since the end of WW2.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

I remember when we were the first team to lose to the David Quinn Sharks and it felt like the worst loss ever. Except it was early on in the season and that game meant f*** all in the grand scheme of things. This was 100 times worse.

 

[will1066]

Too many problems and issues to overcome this season. It's been a perfect storm.

 

[Larrybiv]

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?

Yes, I am pretty sure we actually did it 3 times in one season, hell, If I remember correctly we did it twice in a couple of weeks, and 3 times overall within a few months. I cannot wait until someone tells me I am wrong. Which is quite possibly the case, but that kind of thing really stands out in my minimal memory.

He did but he is also playing on a team that is actually much worse than even we are.

 

[Guyute]

Based on their play, Lafreniere looks like the 33 yo and JT Miller looks the 23 yo.

 

[tiggles]

Only another 7 years until Fil is back...

apparently they updated it to 33-4 so the pens did officially have attempts

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

This game was also a microcosm of why I’ve been beyond done with Panarin.

He looked great in that opening 20 in Boston and has been lukewarm or ass since. Not a guy who looks even remotely motivated.
