Post-Game Talk: Toronto Maple Leafs at New York Rangers - December 23

[Kaapo Kakko]

Are there any moves we can make to make our defense more respectable? Any potential trades?

There's only one move that's improving our defense.

 

[bl02]

A guy playing poorly is not the same as a guy making a pee wee mistake to lose a game.

Yes he made a mistake ok that makes him a disgrace and completely disregards the terrific hockey Hes played the last 25 games ?
What about shattenkirks selfish penalty tonight. Makes him a disgrace to as well then

 

[Glen Sathers Cigar]

Lundqvist continually chirped at the officials. Is that a daily occurrence or just this game?

He was chirping at the officials once and it was completely justified. Makes save and has the puck and then it’s bumped out of how s glove by a guy and has to face more tough chances. These refs can’t give away enough quick whistles normally yet here they’re swallowing them.

Fire the coach and get McDonagh a real partner for the first time since Mike Sauer?

 

[SnowblindNYR]

BTW, that 11 game winning streak at the garden for Lundqvist is bullshit. Why are they talking about it? The only reason he has that streak is because he got pulled after he gave up 3 goals on 6 shots against Florida in the first period and the team scored 3 goals to make sure Pavelic was the one with the loss. Honestly, Lundqvist has been great this year without hyping up things that don't need to be hyped up. Stop with this nonsense MSG Network.

Heck, I think with a different coach, Holden would be a fine partner for McDonagh.

 

[trilobyte]

The better team won, as usually occurs.

I'm pretty sure I let him have it in the GDT about that. But it didn't cost the team.

 

[JESSEWENEEDTOCOOK]

This organization only exists to make it more exciting when the Yankees come back

Tfw the yankees look beast but you're actually a royals fan

 

[JESSEWENEEDTOCOOK]

**** baseball, seriously.

You shut your mouth.

 

[Fvital92]

Yup, he benched Mika. f*** you AV, your piece of shit!!

 

[Fvital92]

So, except Zucarello, he f***ed up with our 3 best points production players.
Started Miller on the 4th line.
Put Buchnevich on the 4th line.
Benched Zibanejad in the 3rd period.

GREAT COACHING MORON!!!

 

[SnowblindNYR]

Yup, he benched Mika. **** you AV, your piece of ****!!

Yeah, not like we could use our best center in 10 years. (I realize he hasn't been as good lately).

 

[PuckLuck3043]

Why would AV bench Zibs after 1 shift in 3rd?

 

[Trxjw]

Fire the coach and get McDonagh a real partner for the first time since Mike Sauer?

Did you finally see the light with Shattenkirk?

 

[Kaapo Kakko]

I'm a Mets, Rangers, and Jets fan. I never get any relief. ☹

 

[ponytrekker]

Why would AV bench Zibs after 1 shift in 3rd?

He said ineffective but I have my doubts. Valiquette said it was after a concerning hit.

 

[egelband]

I'm a Mets, Rangers, and Jets fan. I never get any relief. ☹

Me too. And Knicks, to boot. I am trying to quit supporting pro sports teams. (But it’s not easy).

 

[silverfish]

Did you finally see the light with Shattenkirk?

Still think KS22 is the best option we have to play on McDonagh's right. For the most part, he and Skjei have been good together. Believe me, if you heard the guys I wanted to try next to RM27, you'd be begging to put KS22 there

 

[PuckLuck3043]

He said ineffective but I have my doubts. Valiquette said it was after a concerning hit.

Me too. It doesn't make any sense even for AV.

 

[Machinehead]

Did you finally see the light with Shattenkirk?

He said a partner for McDonagh.

Shattenkirk has never been tried because AV is the smartest guy in the room.

 

[FIRE DRURY]

I'm a Mets, Rangers, and Jets fan. I never get any relief. ☹

Try being a Mets, Rangers, and Bills fan.

Fml.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

I'm a Mets, Rangers, and Jets fan. I never get any relief. ☹

I'm a Rangers, Giants, and sort of a Knicks fan. I used to get relief with the Giants. But not much lately. I guess I get excited about the draft.

 

[haohmaru]

I (mercifully) had to listen to the game as I was driving up from Florida. Was Zibs on the bench? Is it possible he wasn't feeling well or something? Seems like a weird guy to pin to the bench given how strong he is on draws. Sounded like a dumpster fire of a game though. Glad I didn't see it.
