Game 69 Flames vs. Bumblings

[Messiah717]

Probably the worst performance of the year. What 12 shots?

 

[Greyvtrayn]

Long list of things this team is just not good at.

 

[Stepupstepan]

Young players lol. You people act like there’s huge prospects here. Yeah let’s play fourth line players 20 minutes a night. The equivalent of playing Bronny James 40 minutes.

you're missing the point. What have all the vets done the whole game to deserve all that icetime in the third period? No accountability. This organization is a fucking joke that have always relied on the overpaid vets. Club country atmosphere

 

[Messiah717]

President’s Trophy to this is mind boggling. They have been gliding all season.

They all sucked. They had twelve shots.

 

[NYR_94]

Not much to say other than that was a disgraceful performance. Played with zero energy, passion, desire all night.

The team had 13 shots all game against an at best average Calgary team that was blown out the prior night in Toronto. The forwards had zero shots in the 2nd period.

With Montreal winning, one would think this game will thankfully put everyone out of their misery thinking this team can make the playoffs.

Everyone knows I feel very strongly Drury should be fired the second the season ends. I will also add, if they fire Lav, and no one can question if he does get fired after this mess of a season, I would make Micheletti the head coach. Even though he works for the MSG/the team, he is still critical and calls it like it is. How many times has he said the team doesn't shoot, they are not playing hard, they are leaving guys wide open all over the ice, etc. (all the things we see and are thinking). If he is calling it out on Dolan's paid TV, I imagine he would do so as the coach, hold players accountable, and not tolerate this BS. Joe for coach!!!

Yeah, after the awful summer I knew they wouldn't be that good this season, not a top team or Cup contender, but no way did I think they would be this bad. Pathetic really.

 

[Stepupstepan]

lol Joe won't be the coach. Let's all pray that Drury is fired after this season. Keep this fuckface as far away as possible from this loser franchise.

 

[NYR_94]

No, he won't be, but I would love to see someone who actually has the balls to call it like it is. I give him credit for doing so given where he works.

Totally agree about Drury, it's a S show with this guy.

 

[kreidertime]

Islanders are about to pass us after trading Nelson and Barzal out. That puts the season in perspective.

 

[kreidertime]

Rangers should go into full tank mode the next two seasons. Play their best young players on the first power-play unit full time. Trade Panarin, Kreider, Fox and Trocheck. Get as many picks and top prospects as you can. Go at it 3 years from now.

 

[PorterPanzer]

Awful performance, the Rangers had that critical coach in GG but Drury caved to the players instead of listening to the criticism. Lav can't seem to motivate this group or figure out a competent PP, On the bright side they signed Noah Laba so he'll be in Hartford next year.

 

[Ranger71]

It's early for Othmann still, but I kind of wonder about his ceiling. Not that he's expected to be a star or anything. Hopefully he can at least be a solid 3rd liner for 5-6 years.

 

[kreidertime]

Othmann has an elite shot. Especially a one timer. He should be getting 18 minutes a night and almost the full 2 minutes on the PP. Now, this year I can understand slowly breaking him in. Next year he needs to be put on a top line and full time on the PP.

Othmann skating is mediocre at best. He needs to vastly improve that or else it won’t matter how “good” his shot is. He won’t ever be in a spot to shoot it.

 

[Stepupstepan]

They really need to find a stud young center who can set up all these young guys coming up in the next few years. Zibanadouche is not the guy anymore. J.T is getting old.

 

[Stepupstepan]

Maybe sign Bennett. Not sure if you build around him as he is nearing 30. He is probably going to want 7 years and NMC lol

Kakko/Lafreniere disease?

 

[Stepupstepan]

I think Kreider is the last guy they drafted who did not have skating issues. lol Gabe should be the next one.

 

[kreidertime]

You think every NHL player has to be fast in order to be good. You're fucking delusional. Panarin isn't a fast skater and he's been a prolific scorer. K. Miller skates like the wind and he's a retard half the time. If you don't have vision, anticipation, hockey sense and finishing skills nobody gives a shit how fast you skate. Berard is a great skater but he doesn't do a lot with it.

 

[PorterPanzer]

Hard to evaluate Othman after 14 career games getting 6-7 minutes of ice time from Lav, developing a player requires adequate ice time not necessarily on PP1 but the way the PP has been going I'd give him a shot. I would say he doesn't look overwhelmed and has no problem with the physical part of the game.
