Rangers-pens

[mrmel29]

D’Angelo in, Smith out Igor in. Lines not worth talking about as Quinn will be changing them by the 10 minute mark of period one!

 

[mrmel29]

Rangers had the better chances but still trail 1-0 after one

 

[NYR Fan]

Lafreniere needs to shoot the darn puck. Quinn needs to get on him to shoot. Young kids always looking to be unselfish, and it goes too far.

And I am done with Strome. Guy has been invisible so far. Weak a** effort on a breakaway. Cannot win a FO. This guy needs to be moved in a package soon.

We are in desperate need of a # 2 C who can win an f'ing FO.

13-2 face off disparity says all I need to know about how this game will end up.

 

[Ranger71]

Good period except for a bit of a boneheaded play by Lindgren. Good to see guys shooting from the point.

 

[mrmel29]

Miller looks fantastic out there in his 4th game! STUD!! Dubois rumored to be headed to winnipeg tmo

 

[NYR Fan]

Yes, and overall they played well in the 1st period also (outside of FO's). They have played a solid game overall, now we'll see if they can finish.

Chytil and Buch have raised their games this season. Good to see Kakko with 2 goals in 4 games.

 

[NYR Fan]

Miller does look great with an amazing reach. Future # 1 dman I think.

And maybe a deal with the Jets involves Laine and a 3rd team. No shot we were getting him within the same division. Sounds like it will be done by tomorrow worst case, wherever he goes. They already said scratch tomorrow night if still on the team.

 

[kreidertime]

Miller looks amazing. Quinn is a fucking retard. Putting DeAngelo in the shootout when you have Lafreniere, Kakko and Chytil having the game he did. I swear, the more I watch this coach the more he has to go. He already is sucking off Johnson who fucking sucks and cost us another goal tonight.

 

[NYR Fan]

Played well for 2. Up and down in 3rd. Another L. Not good. Strome has to go. He has been useless so far. Move him down and Chytil up.

I'll also add, outside of the 2nd Isles game, our goaltending has been subpar. Igor didn't let in any bad goals tonight, but he has not really been sharp. Looked overmatched in the shootout.

It's concerning that we have played poorly overall in a very short season, with many games left against Boston, Philly, Wash, and the Isles. Gorton has to decide which way he wants to go. At some point we have to get a # 2 C or this will end badly. Can't play and pay all the kids Jeff...

 

[Ranger71]

Yeah i don't understand that DA shootout decision at all.

 

[NYR Fan]

Do you ever not complain about a coach? I mean really every single coach you complain about. I mean literally every single one. God could coach the team and you'd complain.

The game didn't come down to using DeAngelo in the shootout. Sure use someone else, but that was not the deciding factor in the game. DeAngelo has scored in the shootout for us in the past.

 

[kreidertime]

When I see a coach come in, put in a solid defensive system, not ruin the offense of the offensive players, stop playing rejects who don't produce, then I'll stop complaining. Torts had no clue how to coach offense. AV had no clue how to coach defense or value defensive defenseman. Quinn has no clue how to put in a defensive system. If you remember, I wanted the Rangers to go after the coach of the Lightning when he was in the minors. They fucked that up.

 

[kreidertime]

If you got head out of your ass, you would see more and more this coach looks like a college coach. Not a pro coach.

 

[NYR Fan]

I hear you, but it isn't always about the coach. The players need to step up. And this team is not complete. It is very young, has no # 2 C, needs another LD, and the goaltending has been at best average so far. That is not on the coach.

Quinn has been the coach of a team that came flat out and said we are packing it in and rebuilding. They said it. So he has not had the team to win here. That's the truth. I don't love everything he does, no coach is perfect, but he has not been the issue in his time here. All the reasons listed above and the rebuild, and the kids no coach is winning big with this team right now.

 

[mrmel29]

I’m still stunned we lost that game. If Quinn stays we are a lottery team for sure this year. Time to make a move JD

 

[Ranger71]

As long as these young guys take something from each game and get better from it. It's kind of whatever with wins and losses this year.

 

[NYR Fan]

They cannot win a FO, they have no toughness and grit, are filled with young kids with zero experience, their D is short on NHL ready talent, they have no # 2 C. Again, not sure what you want the coach to do. That is an easy scapegoat answer by the same fans who complain about LITERALLY EVERY SINGLE COACH...EVERY ONE. It's old and tired.

Where has Kreider been as usual? That on coach? Strome? That on coach? Come on.

But I'm going to get on him because he used 42% in his career in shootouts DeAngelo in the shootout. So funny.

 

[Ranger71]

Hopefully they have Eichel or Barkov in their sights during the summer.

 

[panzerporter]

Still very early but not surprising on this board that suddenly if Quinn doesn't take this rebuild to the playoffs he's out. I agree there are a few players to be concerned with but the Rangers outplayed Pitt, as they outplayed the Debs but didn't get the win. Aside from the first game I think Quinn has the younger players giving great effort, they constantly create scoring chances but need to be a little more selfish when the open shot is there. I have no problem with a lottery pick but think we'll be looking at an even younger roster by season's end.

 

[Greyvtrayn]

I agree. This year is a throw away year for the Rangers. They are not going to compete with the 4/5 top teams in the division, they just aren't. Since those are the only teams they are playing its to be expected that most nights are going to go like the last two games have gone. And by no means am I saying the Devils are one of those top teams but, even they are improved from last year. Get through the next 50 games and try to find a C that can play on the 2nd line. Aside from that, let the young guys develop and focus on a regular 21-22 season with 82 games, hopefully.

 

[kreidertime]

Quinn hasn't gotten better as a coach. He's not improving. I think they brought Quinn in just to work with the young players. He has shown nothing that would tell you he's capable of coaching a team to the playoffs. Smith who I can't stand actually has played well and is a plus 4. Johnson who blows continues to play every game and lose us games and is a -4. That's just a retard coach at his best. The PK continues to play passive and leave the points open every fucking time. Guy simply won't change. He's a stubborn mule.

 

[NYR Fan]

Question - do you write new stuff, or do you simply copy and paste the same comments over that you wrote about Renney, Torts, AV etc.? Pretty much everything you wrote there is a carbon copy of everything you have written about EVERY Ranger coach (especially the stubborn mule part). Rinse and repeat...lazy and old and tired.

This is not about the coach. It is about the stuff I, and a few others, have written.

 

[kreidertime]

Question, do you watch games with your eyes open or is your head up your ass? You're no different than 95% of the this dumb fuck fan base. You suck off every coach we have no matter who it is. The only reason this team went to the finals and conference finals was because two coaches meshed one team for a couple of years. Torts taught them how to play defense but couldn't coach offense. AV taught them offense and his teams for a couple of years remembered what Torts taught defensively. The more time that went on with AV, the worse and worse the team got defensively. We haven't had a coach since Keenan who could teach both sides of the ice. Quinn does a good job with young defenseman. That's it. This team has sucked defensively since he took over. If you're so clueless that you don't want to admit that, enjoy. This team won't make the playoffs with this coach. Ever.

By the way. Stop being a bitch and go back to your old handle Chuck. You know, the one where you wanted to piss away all our prospects and picks for players on other teams. Just like you are doing now with Dubois.

 

[NYR Fan]

Rinse and repeat. Renney sucks, Torts sucks, AV sucks, Quinn sucks, the next coach after that will suck, as will the coach after that. Just bump Torts and AV posts and save yourself some time. If the coaches don't do everything you want, or the GM doesn't make all your fantasy trades, that never EVER happen, they all suck. We got it.

 

[NYR Fan]

You don't have a chance to land a Dubois often at 23. It's something IMO the Rangers have to do. They can't pass up this opportunity. If it cost you Kakko, Chytil, Jones a a prospect like Wall, so be it. Has to be done.

More I watch our centers, more I think they need to make a huge offer for Dubois.

Kravtsov started out on fire, got hurt and now has pretty much done shit since. I would think Zac Jones, DeAngelo, Kravtsov and Chytil would all be on the table in a deal for Dubois.

Yes, I'm the one who has been pushing for dealing a bunch of prospects for Dubois...LOL. Once again you are so utterly lost it hurts.

And for the record, I agree with you on going all in for a # 2 C I just know it won't be Dubois in our division. Maybe Barkov.

And for the record, Gorton did 100% the right thing going all in to win a cup with Hank. That doesn't mean every individual move was the right move, but the strategy was spot on. And the proof that it was the right strategy is our current team loaded with young talent, and our current system loaded with young talent. Despite all the dealing away of picks/prospects Gorton did to win a cup, we still are stacked with young kids/picks/prospects a mere 3 years later.

So yes amazing job by Gorton. Now go get a legit # 2 C and complete this team.

 

[kreidertime]

Another dumbass added to ignore. I should have put Chuck on ignore when the pansy changed his handle.

 

[NYR Fan]

You can't handle the truth bro....

 

[panzerporter]

Just getting rid of Marc Staal makes this defensive unit better, at least Johnson takes the body. Jack's just a temporary fill in. Hopefully Lindgren learned to stay on his skates instead of employing the knee drop flail the puck into my own goal. I would rather have a guy like Johnson teaching young players, Marc taught them a method that only works if your last name is Staal.

 

[Ranger71]

Lindgren's had a little bit of a rough start to the year but he is what he is.
