Funn, sad and true

That is funny as hell!

 

[kreidertime]

I saw that on HF. I almost pissed in my pants because it's true. Quinn has no clue. Finally our fans are seeing this.

3:41 long? I'll pass.

3:41 long? I'll pass.

Grevy, check it out. It’s worth the length

 

[Greyvtrayn]

Alright, but if I don't enjoy it it's your ass!

 

[mrmel29]

Alright, but if I don't enjoy it it's your ass!

LOL

What's fun, sad, and true is when the Rangers win the board is dead quiet. When Quinn makes some great moves with lines and the PP, the board is dead quiet. That's sad and true.

I love DeAngelo back on PP # 1 where he belongs. I love Lafreniere shooting, and getting his first NHL goal. I love Panarin having a big game. I love Blackwell playing well.

Good effort tonight. Great job by Quinn tonight.

 

[Stepupstepan]

Yes, this coach is awesome. Blackwell the future of the rangers with 15:53 TOI vs Kakko 9:55.

 

[strudwickisthebest]

I didn’t like the hiring from Day 1

 

[mrmel29]

KAKKO played well tonight and must get more than 9:55. With his 1 timer he needs to be on our struggling PP. Quinn needs to figure ot out and get it done. The kid deserves the ice tome!

 

[Ranger71]

Blackwell's been one of their best players so i don't have an issue with his time right now. Kakko will gradually get more going forward if he continues this way. I had a feeling when AL went out in OT something good would happen. Not sure what the deal is with Zib but he continues to look sluggish. Either way nice win, necessary win and hopefully they can build on it.

 

[NYR Fan]

Don't try logic 71, these guys just want to hate and complain. It's automatic. Nothing about Lafreniere getting an important role, nothing about Miller getting an important role, let me go find something I don't like so I can bit*h about Renney - I mean Torts - I mean AV - I mean Quinn.

Pathetic and predictable. If the Rangers win a lot the board will be more of a ghost town than it already is normally.

 

[Greyvtrayn]

You must know very little about the human psyche.
I watched most of the game last night but was also playing poker with online with my buddies so posting on the Rangers board was low priority.
Definitely good to see Panarin have a big night. I still think Buch's play has been impressive and think he has turned a corner. Hallelujah! LaF finally scored! He had a bunch of chances the last few games but, getting that first one out of the way is big...game winner to boot! I'm also impressed with DiGi, he is skating and battling like Kreider used to. I am heavily buying the Covid recovery for Zib's sluggish start.
No major injuries. Bonus!

 

[Ranger71]

I thought it would take them about 2-3 weeks to get their sea legs and develop some continuity so that's right about where we are now. I assume Z and Kreider will get going and the goaltending just needs game reps but it's fine bascally. The one concerning thing that i don't know will be fully solvable is the PK and some the defensive cushions, since we have some slow footed defenders as a whole. Maybe they can tweak it enough to get by. The dmen need to continue getting shots through instead of deferring as much as they are, but it's improving.

 

[NYR Fan]

On the PK I would start playing Miller. Right now Quinn is going with Smith or Johnson paired with Trouba. I would leave Miller with Trouba and Lindgren/Fox and go from there. Last night Smith was out of position on Buffalo's PPG. Enough with him/Johnson on the PK.

Quinn made the right moves getting DeAngelo back on the 1st PP unit, now adjust the PK and away we go.

 

[kreidertime]

Kakko 9 minutes of ice time and not playing the first PP unit, one timing it from the right wing, one of many reasons to fire Quinn.

 

[Ranger71]

Miller, Fox, Kreider, Panarin and Kakko should be the pp1 right now i think. DA still seems behind the 8-ball and isn't looking for shots enough.

 

[NYR Fan]

I totally disagree with that. DeAngelo needs to be on PP1. They looked really good last night with a bunch of shots, and it's no coincidence DeAngelo was back on the 1st unit.

I would go with the exact unit they used last night - Z, Panarin, Buch, Fox, and DeAngelo. That's the right play right now.

You guys will always pick a player and make him the story. Again, where is the credit for Quinn playing Lafreniere in the top 6 since game 1? Where is the credit for Quinn playing Miller in the top 4 for just about every game? Enough already with the nonsense. Kakko needs to step up his game, and when he does he'll get opportunities. And I am sure he will keep getting better.

Quinn is playing to win games, and he went with the hot hands last night, and I'm okay with that. Kakko will get his eventually I have no doubt.

 

[Ranger71]

Ok, i can see DA being out there and he's been better in the last 2g, but i think he needs to start getting more shots. He and Fox have a good knack for catching goalies in a screen/traffic.

 

[mrmel29]

Quinn gets no credit for playing the number 1 pick on the draft in the top 6. He would be fired if he didn’t. As for KAKKO he’s more than earned his time and it’s about time Quinn recognized it. Miller again was so good that wuinn had no other choice. He has done nothing to develop laf or Miller. KAKKO he’s done everything starting last year to put as many road blocks in front of him as he can. To the kids credit he’s playing well despite Quinn. Maybe genius Quinn can stop playing smith and Johnson who both suck and get Hajek back in there. Also, Barron needs to get playing time and there are plenty of forward candidates for him to replace starting with lemieux who is offensively inept and plays only 5 minutes a game. Don’t know what your love affair is with Quinn chick but IMO it’s misplaced!

 

[NYR Fan]

That's exactly the response I would expect...LOL. When he does good things/things you want, no credit because he's supposed to do that. Or Quinn gets no credit because it's the player stepping up. When he does things you don't want, he gets slammed because he doesn't know what he is doing, and then it isn't on the player, it's all on Quinn. That's very fair and rational thinking.

No credit for Miller, no credit for Lafreniere, no credit for Chytil, no credit for Buch's clear development. But you know Kakko has more than earned his time, I'd love to know how you know that - do you sit in on practice and talk with the coaches, but he has more than earned it and it's all on Quinn for not seeing it. I'll tell you someone who doesn't see it...hahahaha. The best was when you got on him for not playing Chytil, Kakko, and Lafreniere on the PP, then the next game you got on him for having them out there and not PP # 1. That was awesome.

Bottom line is I disagree with the nonsense about Renney, I mean Torts, I mean AV, sorry I mean Quinn. I get confused which coach we are talking about because it's the same exact posts as prior coaches, with different player names in the mix. Funny.

I have no love affair with Quinn. I'm not sure he is the right coach for when we are ready to take the next step starting next season. But I'm not irrational, so unlike you guys it isn't I love him and he's the best, or I hate him and he's the worst and needs to be fired, there is a logical middle ground. I realize to date he has been fine as our coach and certainly does not deserve to be fired. We'll see where he goes from here.

 

[mrmel29]

When I got on him for having them on the PP he also had the useless tandem of holden and lemieux on the PP with them which canceled them out.
