Game 44 Utah vs. Bumblings

[kreidertime]

I give them little to no chance to make the playoffs with the teams ahead of them.

When they do make the playoffs you can change your tune to the "early exit - no way they beat this team" medley

It's amazing that Valiquette can see that Fox needs to create more shooting, yet the coaching staff isn't harping on him enough about it.

 

[Stepupstepan]

Back to garbage hockey.

 

[Ranger71]

Kaliyev could've perhaps used a conditioning stint but I guess they didn't want to bother.

 

[Ranger71]

They just fucking suck ass.

 

[Stepupstepan]

Zibanadouche is fucking up all over the place again.

 

[Greyvtrayn]

Whenever Zibanejad and Miller are on the ice at the same time it's basically a 50/50 chance the Rangers are going to give up a goal. So fucking aggravating watching those two buffoons anymore.

 

[Stepupstepan]

Miller has been better lately. Zibanashmuck has had some decent games lately but back to sucking in this game

 

[Greyvtrayn]

They are just space cadets defensively....constantly in the wrong spots.

 

[Ranger71]

Ahh Shesty, gotta bury that.

 

[kreidertime]

Didn’t watch the game, but I see Carrick was a contributor like always lately.

 

[PorterPanzer]

Carrick was a nice replacement for Goodrow by Drury for under a third of the money. Mika spotted Seattle 2 early goals to make it close, what a disaster he's been, like a hormonal teenager. 1 SOG in 3 PPs is inexcusable unless Lav is coaching.

 

[kreidertime]

Unfortunately, Mika wants to be a daddy and not a hockey player any longer. Which probably makes him impossible to trade because nobody would want his bitch like ass. Seriously, they need to start making him a healthy scratch. I'd rather have Brodzinsky or Groulx in there. At least they won't turn the fucking puck over all game long.

They are just space cadets defensively....constantly in the wrong spots.

Housley's man system is just so bad for this team. The majority of our defensemen are not great skaters. We got a little more mobile swapping out Trouba for Borgen, but overall the defensive system is just bad. Miller is probably the best skater but he does not have the natural hockey IQ to know when to switch or release on the fly. On the second goal last night Fox was chasing his man around the blueline while Mika was battling in front. Enough of this.

 

[Greyvtrayn]

Glad they got the win but I thought Lafreniere was noticeably bad a number of times last night...bad pinches, bad turnovers, that drop pass in the offensive zone with really no one in front of him. Not a great night for him but again, 2 points is 2 points.

 

[kreidertime]

Looks like Lafreniere spent all off season fucking off on the golf course again.

 

[Stepupstepan]

Fucking devils got Hughes. We got Lafreniere. lol On top of that Drury signed him to a 7 year extension based on one year and change. Great job Drury

 

[kreidertime]

I wouldn’t worry too much about Lafreniere if you get the right young center with him. he also has to learn to play the power play on the pro level. Once he figures that out his confidence will be much higher and consistent basis.
