Post-Game Talk: Horrifying Act of Violence

[Machinehead]

Probably not.

Even the rest of the panel looked embarrassed.

They were leaning away from him... literally.

Well now I'm curious.

I saw Shaq was there. Did he soapbox about hating basketball?

Breakin’ 2 electric boogaloo.

Anyways, Rangers have a coach who can out coach. Such a odd feeling.

Where’s the Caps fan who before the series said it wouldn’t be the biggest upset ever if Washington won.

That team was so bad then he played like shit and swept

 

[Boris Zubov]

Not denying that.

Some of us happen to be Knicks fans!

Go Knicks. I'll root them on in spirit.

 

[Riche16]

What did he do?

He went absolutely crazy yelling & "getting pumped" after they showed the video of Lapierre announcing the starting lineup (which they showed about 3 times) & then scoring.

He was literally screaming & making an ass out of himself, clearly loving the Caps had tied it.

When they came out of the video, the rest of the panel, including McHugh, were leaning away from him half joking but half in embarrassment for him.

It was pathetic & totally bias.

Fine!

 

[Mike C]

Sweep and it didn't even look like the team was trying very hard.

Which one?

I can't imagine anyone has ever taken him that seriously anyway. That's his schtick...hard to embarrass yourself when everyone already thinks of you as an assclown.

 

[Cmox]

Is it possible he played hurt? It's shocking how he did absolutely nothing considering he was on a tear finishing the season

Ive never seen him so disengaged. He also had cupping marks all over his neck when the series started. Maybe a back problem?

 

[kovazub94]

Definitely a set play to give him some speed and movement cutting in for the shot

It’s been used a bunch during the season too.

He shouldn't be on tv.

I think he legit has some sort of development issue. That's a child being paraded on national television and I feel bad for the dude.

Same way he acts when talking about the Leafs. He gets all crazy.

 

[DanielBrassard]

The Rangers did what they should have done, swept a really bad hockey team. So that’s the good news. But that series should not have been that much of a struggle. The intensity and play must be increased quite a bit moving past this series. Hope Fil makes his return because he is going to be key generating quick strike offense against Carolina.

Kakko needs more ice time as well, it’s boneheaded that Laviolette skipped him multiple times late in the game. Rangers best forward at ES.

 

[Atax]

If we somehow win the cup and any poster has the audacity to complain, it's going to be an instant ban for life. Not even joking.

I think you guys do a thankless job, and I'm sure you have to delete a lot of mean/awful posts, but it seems like your trying to control how people post/feel on the board. People are allowed to complain and get upset by awful play. I probably dont see some of the dumb crap posted (Probably have a lot of them blocked), but you guys seem to get on people for just being upset at dog shit play. Let us rage. Its not hurting anyone.
Anyways, I have nothing but respect for the mods who manage it all, but yeah.

Anyways, just happy we won.
LGR!

[Boris Zubov]

Fine!

They're a NYC team...& if they are going on a run, I want them to win it all. Mainly to crush the souls of other cities fanbases, but it's also good for NYC. Most of our teams have sucked for way too long & I hate seeing Boston fans bragging that they're the sports mecca these days.

 

[Cheapshot]

Forget biz, he’s got his own problems being a maple leafs fan. (We all know how that’s working out for him) It was really annoying they kept showing that though.

 

[Machinehead]

Trocheck looks like a consigliere in front of Congress attempting to explain away something the boss was involved in

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

He shouldn’t mention Panarin at all - sounds just laughable at the levels of EdJovo re Kravtsov, Webster re Zuke or SB re goalies.

Edit: Laviolette just answered question about Panarin - I’d say haters should heed but we know they won’t.

Are we just going to ignore that Panarin literally went about 8 full periods (it may have been 8 full+, I don't know when he registered his final shot in game 1) with out a SOG?

You all act like people who were let down by his play want him to fail. Trust me when I say this we don't (or most of us don't.)

He had a 3 point series (after a 120 point season) and it's not like he was setting up chances left and right that were getting beefed. He wasn't doing a whole lot of anything outside of knocking Oshie into next season. He was still outscored by every other player in the top 6, and 2 of them don't get pp1 time.

I don't know why it's so hard to admit that he didn't have a good series while still having a good 3rd period in this game.

 

[kovazub94]

I understand what Rempe brings to the team I do. But against Carolina it seems criminal not to counter with a skating possession monster in chytil that will actually score. Wennberg cannot.

Just not sure Rempe can skate in that series. It’s going to be fast

It’s not that simple. What Rempe brings makes the whole team go. Wennberg hasn’t been bad but he seems the only one who hasn’t stepped up.

 

[NYR94]

Biz has one, maybe two brain cells. Did he fight a lot during his career?

 

[KennyWu]

The way they were pumping Lapierre's tires between periods you would have thought he scored the golden goal

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

Biz has one, maybe two brain cells. Did he fight a lot during his career?

He wasn't very good at it.

He is a master at engagement farming though. Sensationalist comments targeted at large fan bases draw a reaction. Thats a good thing for him.

 

[Boris Zubov]

The tank is probably on empty. Plus he honestly looks like he doesn't give a damn.

 

[Machinehead]

The thing with Panarin is that it's not that he was playing terrible, or that he's just not a guy who can handle the playoffs.

He literally just stopped shooting. It's an easy fix and that's why it's frustrating.

He reminds me of the Devils last year against Carolina. They big-brained it trying to play this "playoffs style" when it would have been easy for them to just play their game.
