RichieNextel305 Posted February 28, 2022 Share Posted February 28, 2022 The effort? It sucked. But man did Demko play good. We had hardly any chances, but honestly, almost all of them were Grade-A chances. Can’t remember a game like that in awhile where I felt we played so bad and generated so little, but still could have put a lopsided number on the scoreboard ourselves. Demko really, really played well for the Canucks. For us? The obviously is Lafreniere. He has just been outstanding the last little while. Kreider had his chances tonight, and was stoned by Demko all night. The Schneider-Jones pair, though very young and inexperienced, I think has staying power. Games like this happen to every team throughout 82 games. Crappy effort, but as always, they did show heart at the end. They definitely need help, I’m sick of this lineup featuring as much dead wood as it does. But all in all, they’ll rebound. We got beat by a good goalie tonight, something we’ve done a lot of this year ourselves. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As opposed to, who, exactly — Gauthier? There is no "good" solution to the right side right now, but Hunt was active throughout the third. So was Reaves. The Rangers were causing a ton of turnovers and generating a slew of rushes. They just ran out of time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leagues too good to just be 2-0 down for no reason. Maybe we bag another but this is another game we win or get a point out of with shesty in net that geo played this year. Guy really can’t do anything Rangers hadn't scored a goal in almost 2 games. Tough look blaming goaltending. It's been said many times...without a superhuman goaltending performance this team doesn't have much of a shot to win. Igor is so much better than the next best goalies that even if he played down to, say, Vasilievski or Soros level...Rangers would have a real tough time beating anyone. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't fully endorsed this view earlier, but do now. It also seems that the D has been regressing at times, especially with Geo between the pipes. The inconsistency is still an aspect that comes in waves, players disappearing during the games, turning into to "one trick ponies", etc. It's hard to imagine at this point, that couple of additional players via trade will make much of a difference.

Old routines die hard... The Rangers have been in the bottom third of the league all year in shots against. They are not a great defensive team, they just have the best goalie in the world. There's a reason Igor is at the top of the league in goals saved above expected, the Rangers bleed high quality chances.

LONG LONG LONG TIME FAN Posted February 28, 2022 Share Posted February 28, 2022 Yeah, as usual blame the goalie. Guy hadn't played in a month, team played soft and was ineffective at both ends. The coaching staff had better lite a fire under this team... Carolina & Pitt. keep winning as NYR lose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozzy Posted February 28, 2022 Share Posted February 28, 2022 It was one of THOSE nights. Shit happens! But we do need to address that "Turd Line". I forget who said it last GDT, but I'm starting to think they're right. The fact that we have a 3rd line that only plays like 8 minutes a game, is starting to wear heavily on the top 2 lines, and also on the the 4th. I don't know if maybe Gallant was sending a message to Drury by playing Reaves on the 1st line or what...but we're going to have to address our glaring weakness soon. Last night's "uninspired" effort after 3 games in 4 nights, I think showed it a little bit more. I'm sure the need to acquire a couple of "pieces" to avoid nights like last night are at the top of Drury's agenda. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharpshooter Posted February 28, 2022 Share Posted February 28, 2022 Unless Cythil is being traded, I have no idea why he's sitting over the McKegg's and Gauthiers of the world. Am I a huge Cythil fan? Not really, but I'd still rather see him at wing, then these others in the lineup at all. I like Gallant, but his personnel choices are quite baffling at times.

Cash or Czech Posted February 28, 2022 Share Posted February 28, 2022 I'd personally prefer a 3rd line of Goodrow, Barron and Chytil and then have a 4th with Reaves, Rooney, and McKegg/Gauthier/other filler. Chytil might not be super useful but he has the odd goal where opponents stop defending him and give him that space. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goodrow is a good Swiss Army knife kind of player, but I think he just gets lost there on the fourth line. The third is where he belongs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unable to score at even strength consistently. Not enough forward depth. Not good late in games with a lead These are 3 components you need to win a Cup which they so sorely lack. Hard to see them winning more than a round in the postseason unless this gets rectified. And even that may be a reach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted February 28, 2022 Share Posted February 28, 2022 McKegg and Chytil aren't compete for the same role. They're not being asked to do the same things on the ice, with the same linemates. Gallant seems to be prioritizing "hard to play against", which Chytil isn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
