Coach has to go after the 3rd preseason game
At a loss how Skjei and Smith were a great pair last time NYR made the playoffs and then both kinda fell off the table. Know Smith fresh with a big ass contract began a deep love affair with beer and couches. Skjei, no idea what the ___ happened. Hoping being paired his buddy Trouba like Leo and Brad in "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood" works.
Recall Gorton circled back to Quinn after Quinn turned the job down at first. He's going nowhere for a while. Nor should he; let's see what he can really do with some talent.
The Devs as the home team last night and Flyers tonight (with a coach that has a bit of a chip on his shoulder over the NYR) treated these games a bit more seriously than Quinn did. Not saying Quinn didn't care about winning but we have not seen the top 3 lines/pairs. he's trying to figure out who belongs here at the back end and who's going to Hartford to possibly be called up if and when injuries happen .
Only thing that's a bit worrying is Lundqvist, small sample it might be, looks ragged. They're stuck with his contract, but...
Yes I'll blame him for holding players accountable for the first time in five years.
I'll blame you for making shit up like "they're playing not to upset him".
Where do you get this stuff? It's the third preseason game and a half the lineup there is going to be in the ECHL.
Im still trying to figure what that even means

You're not making any sense, but I'll entertain it.
1. I'd never blame a player for playing the way the coach wants them to play.
2. 2/3 of last night's team will be in the A or ECHL next week.
Still no basis for the Quinn hate. It's only been one season, and one with a shit roster. I'm not understanding the point.
Guys don’t stand out in these situations when they are trying to play to a person instead of playing their game.
And I’ll criticize my mom for shit, doesn’t mean I hate her. He’s still learning, too, but I don’t want him to neuter kids.

Would like to see some serious cuts today.
Need to start shaping the structure it seems to me, or we'll be 0-4-2 out of the gate.
Haven't seem much improvement from Quinn in our own end and that's not necessarily a personell issue, it's as much structure IMO. Not concerned yet, but might be by US Thanksgiving if they can't start limiting chances.
This, plus Sam and Joe flat out said "He is a good coach" LOL. I recall Don LaGreca and Greg Buttle saying the same about Todd Bowles LMFAO. Can't tell anything yet, however, I do have my doubts as well. Oh and they should have bought out Henrik instead of Slowandkirk but whatever.
Let the kids play hockey and show what they can do. Guys are too tight trying to impress the coaching staff and have all looked like shit. Lockerroom issue that needs to be addressed.
Hopefully it looks better with cuts
