Game 69 Pens vs. Rangers Grevy is a cocksucker thread

[Messiah717]

The team dominates and there's still complaining. Gallant has had a great two seasons. Get over it.

That was a beautiful way to finish the season series against the Pens. A nice playoff reminder from ABC about who scored the game winning goals last year in games 6 & 7 but the Breadman better pick it up! Igor was on a mission tonight. Malkin knows what some of the fans on this board are still slow to realize.

I fixed that for you...LOL.

 

[Stepupstepan]

Not as stupid as Goodrow taking two stupid penalties while on the PP.

lol, thats the point. You're risking two of your best players blocking a shot on the penalty kill when the game is out of reach. There was a lot of time left when idiot Goodrow took two stupid penalties on the pp so he is not available to kill those penalties in a blowout game. Not a smart thing to do. Gallant got away with it.

Some of you gotta stop with the drama queen stuff about hearing some negative criticism about the team. No team is perfect. This team has had plenty of defensive issues all season. Having this everything is great all the time attitude is not realistic and is basically just watching games with your eyes closed. Gallant has not had a great two seasons. He's done an abysmal job of developing Kakko and Lafreniere. I said for over a year that Gallant should put Lafreniere and Kakko on the pp and break up the pp units. It took him over a year and half to figure out breaking up the units. He's an NHL coach. He should have known to do that from day one on the job. Gallant has done a lot of good things. However, the fact remains that this team would have been knocked out of the playoffs in the first round last year if Sid didn't get hurt. He needed his goalie to stand on his head all season. They are in third place this year. Those are not great coaching years. He's done OK with a roster that is loaded. That's it.

 

[Messiah717]

The Penguins series is a dumb narrative. They went on and beat Carolina and probably should've beaten Tampa. As for the goalie the 1994 Rangers don't beat New Jersey if Richter doesn't stand on his head in games six and seven.

Here is why this post is a joke. Of course every team has ups and downs. Of course no team is perfect (although the way some talk about the Bruins this year you wouldn't know that - cannot wait for them to lose in the playoffs). Every team has good and bad. All win games and lose games. The question is do you and the rest of your whiny crying bunch know that? All you guys do is whine and cry about everything non-stop. You would think the Rangers are the worst team in the NHL, and Gallant the worst coach based on the consistent nonsense posts in here. So maybe you should live up to your own post guy, and understand we'll lose games and play poorly sometimes. And no you do not know better than the coach.

As for last year, give me a break. Have you watched the NHL playoffs, or do you as usual just want to whine and make excuses about why the Rangers win? We all know you are not really a Rangers fan, but it is incessant. We had a tough series and had to come back from almost the dead against the Pens, that is the NHL playoffs. Just about every game is close. Most series are real close. The margin for error in the NHL playoffs is tiny, this is not the NBA.

On top of that, your whiny nonsense about one cup since 1940 is also a joke, and straight from the Devs or Isles playbook fake fan. One team wins a cup each year, the most difficult trophy to win in sports. To dismiss all the great runs this team has had in the past 11 years shows again you are a joke. 4 ECF's, 1 SCF, a lot of good fun regular seasons, and great playoff wins. A lot of fun watching great players do their thing. This is not the period before 2012 where we did nothing for years and years. At days end it is not the end all be all period of time without winning a cup, that is the goal in a results business, but to act as if we have been some joke organization, or real fans haven't had a ton of great games and thrilling moments to watch the past 11 years is a joke.

So stop with your fire Gallant one month into the job, the Pens will pass the Rangers, the Rangers will miss the playoffs, and the Rangers are the Titanic BS and try to enjoy it without ruining it for everyone else on this board. Just because you aren't a real fan and actually root for the Devs or Isles, others are actually Rangers fans in here.

Enough of the whoa is the kids not getting pp time. Last year the two reasons why they even made the playoffs is Igor and the PP unit. When you have a chance to make the playoffs and possible contend for a cup you dont worry about baby feeding. Facts are facts last years pp unit was one of the best in the league. period. and to say that Gallant should be fired when he was two games away from the finals is just fucking stupid. period.

Its ok to have negative thoughts...its ok to bash the coach for some of his decisions. Its not always rainbows and unicorns...however...jesus christ its not brimstone and fire either....seems that more than half the time its bitching and moaning about this and that...hell we were blaming the birth of a child as a reason for Igor to play like a normal human instead of playing as an all world goalie.... we blame two players for being selfish who lead the team in assists...makes lots of sense to me.

yeah I know i have ranger blue glasses on and look at this team with the glass 3/4 full... some here look at it as 3/4 empty

 

[kreidertime]

Any Rangers fan with any objectivity can’t I tell me they would’ve won the Pitt series if Crosby didn’t get hurt give me a break.

eh...and we would have won the cup if Leetch didnt break his leg...or if Ulf Nilsson didnt break his ankle..or Zucc didnt take one to the head....who knows how many cups the rangers could have won if only their wasnt some kind of injury..but thats life and thats sports... the Pens had plenty of opportunities to still win the series..they didn't.

 

[NYR Fan]

His ridiculous response back to the Pitt series tells it all. He is NOT a Rangers fan. The faster you guys understand he is a loser troll with nothing going on in his life, so he plays games on message boards, the better. He is a joke non-Rangers fan that gets his jollies by doing what he does in here. Pathetic.

eh..you take this too serious...i get a kick out of it

 

[NYR31]

The prediction of the Pens finishing ahead of the Rangers, the Rangers missing the playoffs, and the Rangers being the Titanic look really good now...LOL.

you really need to dial down your infatuation with Dump and keeping tabs on what he says so you can then prove him wrong.

it’s equally annoying as his own negativity

 

[Greyvtrayn]

Far be it from you to bother asking Drump to dial down his negativity....some job you do 'moderating'

 

[kreidertime]

Pitt was up 2-0 game 5 with Crosby dominating when he got hurt. I haven’t heard one analyst say they were going to win that series before Crosby got hurt. Take the Homer glasses off. It’s like Al, 31, having no balls to admit, he was wrong about putting the young kids on the power-play.

 

[kreidertime]

One cup in 82 years 31. Not negativity 31. Called be real. An organization with that track record doesn’t know what the fuck they are doing. Praying Shesterkin gets blazing hot and things break our way in the playoffs.

Remind me again what rank the PP was last year.... you bitch and moan about development of youth... some guy name Kreider scored over 50 goals last year..but you rather worry about some kid from Finland and from Montreal not getting power play time to make him somewhat a better hockey player, cause all through his life he never got power play time and it has hurt him so much that he cries at night.

All good Grey. These just two do their thing. No issues with 31, but he'll never call out dump. He can be rude, call people vulgar names, fill the board with negative posts and nonsense, make things up non-stop, and no issues. No doubt he is a huge reason there are only 7 consistent posters on this board. I just laugh it off and keep rolling when he posts something like that. He is right though, after this post I am done with the dump thing, he is who he is - just being real, and it won't change.

Hey, dump is just being real. Rangers are collapsing, Rangers will miss playoffs, Rangers will finish behind the Pens, Rangers are the Titanic. Sather traded for Z, oh wait Gorton did, I still wasn't wrong because Sather liked Z and made Gorton do it a year after he left. I'm telling you, the Rangers wouldn't have won if Crosby didn't get hurt, you're an idiot. 1 cup since 1940 we are a terrible organization, forget the many good years since 2012. I am just being real man. That's all real stuff that I shove down your throat in post after post bro.

 

[NYR Fan]

Great point Al. And for the love of god, can Kakko do something. The kid is almost invisible every game. He has maybe a shift or two where he skates in circles with the puck in the O zone, ultimately it goes no where and he loses the puck. That's about it. And not just talking about scoring goals, just be present and make some impact. Excuse after excuse for this guy, and very little at best. He does seem to be playing a full ice game, which I like, but just some impact on O. He is another one who doesn't shoot the puck, like Fox and Panarin. And he is just not playing like the # 2 pick in the draft.

I don't care if you blame him, the team, someone else, not about blame. I just want to see him do more and be the player he can be. I am not trying to be critical of him, just want him to step up and make some sort of impact.

 

[Stepupstepan]

Kakko has not been great lately but he still draws penalties so yeah he does make an impact even when not scoring.

 

[kreidertime]

It's like when I hear the dumb fuck Jets fans call up every year thinking they will be good. Nonsense. Just blind stupidity.

 

[NYR Fan]

No he doesn't make an impact, but that's okay man. I hope he does, because I still believe the 3rd line will be our differentiator in the playoffs. In a lot of ways it was last year, and I think it can be again if they play well.

 

[Stepupstepan]

Drawing penalties is not making an impact? He is also used on a penalty kill. You want to throw the kid under the bus the first chance you get.

 

[NYR Fan]

He doesn't draw penalties at any high or above average rate. And yes he is on the 3rd or 4th pair of PK forwards, that's a big value add.

Look, if you you watch these games and see Kakko making an impact, more power to you man. I do not see it, and especially not for a # 2 pick in the draft. Once again you think I have some thing against Kakko, and I do not. I am not you who has an agenda or knocks people for everything, I couldn't care less about that nonsense.

What I see from Kakko is a guy who doesn't shoot the puck, doesn't play to his strengths - getting in front like Kreider and driving hard to the net, and doesn't play with a lot of confidence. That is what I see. If you disagree, all good, we certainly don't have to agree.

And again for the record, I really hope he gets it and the light goes on, the guy has a lot of talent obviously, and could be a huge weapon, but he needs to play with confidence and to his strengths.

Truth is, that whole line needs to step it up a bit. Chytil hasn't scored in a long while, Lafreniere I think makes more of an impact on the forecheck and playing a harder game, but he could do more, and I already gave my thoughts on Kakko.

It is not easy for kids to come into a situation like the Rangers, a team that is good and has a lot of talent, and make an impact, but I do think they could do more. And if I looked at them 1 through 3, I think Kakko has the most work to do to step up his game.
