Post-Game Talk: Winnipeg Jets at New York Rangers - March 6

[ReggieDunlop68]

No one has said anything remotely like this

http://hfboards.mandatory.com/threads/poll-sneak-into-playoffs-or-tank-as-much-as-possible.2459989/

Same page. Not stickied though.

Also, it was a narrative. Not every poster says that word for word.

 

[Glennsoe]

Has this been Zucc's worse year since the beginning of his career?

He said in a Norwegian interview after this game that his performance this year has been lackluster and he's been lacking energy due to outside factors (contract talks..)

He also says his season has just been ok, that he doubts that he's our next captain and that's it's nothing he thinks about too much

 

[Ori]

It`s not an easy year since beginning of this season - too many who like to pass on this team. And the most creative players are somewhat forced to finish plays, because lack of scoring wingers and snipers like Kevin Shattenkirk from the blueline for instant.

It`s fine to say his season is lackluster, or other fan will say he has a down-year, or already started to regress based on the age topic. But he will be a different player on a line with a sniper who enjoy to finish plays and is good at that role.

 

[Amazing Kreiderman]

You know the fanbase is accepting the tank when a game we won generates more posts in the PGT than a game we lost

I felt like things were back to normal last night. Bring on Tampa and Florida.

AV has a purpose and shelf life. He has out lived both in NYC

Your fingers to Gortons eyes

 

[True Blue]

The team will need a serious attitude adjustment. It will need an enema to be cleansed of the AV installed passiveness. Bland, bland, bland.....

 

[Mike in Houston]

So AV benched Buchnevich for 9:43 of the 3rd. Missed "a couple of shifts".

Why is anyone getting benched at this point?

 

[EpicDing]

Someone needs to Photoshop Henriks face on to wonder woman on the scene where she's got the shield and a billion bullets are coming at her...and instead of bullets it needs to be pucks...

You can thank me later.

I'm not sure putting Henke's head on Gal Gadot's body is something you should be thanked for.

You're right, it's pretty shameful. I fixed it, is this any better?

Incoming lopsided losses!! YEAH, BABYYYYYYY!!!!!

I don't know what's gotten in to me.

 

[Tawnos]

I thought they played hard, but this is a bad hockey team.

One center out has a massive impact.

 

[will1066]

Hank and Gal look a little alike. Maybe explains my mancrush on him. Because I certainly crush on Gal.

 

[Kovalev27]

I’m rooting for games like last night. They played hard lost a tight game to the better team. Shots were 34-31.

I don’t want to see our kids or Hank have his doors blown off all month.

But I do want them to lose and I mean every night. I am happy when they score I hate to see them lose but it’s for their own good. We have got to force our way into the top 5 of this draft and get a bluechipper. Not a good prospect like Lias Andersson with all due respect.

We need a blue effing chipper.

This should be carved into marble and placed in a museum.

 

[ReggieDunlop68]

I want to add something in regard to the tank. Some people said they didn’t want the “new core” being exposed to a “losing atmosphere” etc.

The truth is I’m not sure if a lot of the new guys are definitely part of the the “new core”.

I think a lot of them will either be packaged for something bigger or become peripheral to whatever the new system and dynamics are in the next few seasons.

 

[Machinehead]

To be fair, missing your number one center is a massive impact on every team.

Not that this team is any good with Zibanejad in the lineup.

Thats true. Just thinking about the overall lack of depth. When Oscar Lindberg can step up a line, you’re better off than when the guy you’re calling on is David Desharnais. Even when it’s just Oscar Lindberg

Lindberg really isn't any better. 9 points in 57 games, negative in every analytic.

But your point remains. At least Andersson and Chytil are on the way and hopefully we'll be able to lock up Spooner and Namestnikov to good deals. That way, we'll have wingers moving over in case of injury, instead of centers moving up.

I really don’t know wtf happened to Lindberg this year.

 

[kovazub94]

Delayed sophomore slump?

 

[Edge]

I really don’t know wtf happened to Lindberg this year.

I’ve always been a fan, but he’s struggling to take that next step in his evolution.

There are flashes of the player he could be - a nice third line center. But he’s struggled in his consistency and his ability to step up from a fourth line role.

He looks timid out there and it’s obvious his confidence is shot.
