gdt: [RS] (#2) Rangers vs. New York Islanders // Let's Try That Again

Ugh, we have a new coach yet?

I have a feeling this season will bring the hate for the Islanders to a new level.

 

They match up too good against this Rangers team, so I would think we lose most of the games against them this year.

 

Atleast score a goal tonight please

Rebounding tonight. Let’s go here boys.

 

Georgiev plays well against the isles.

I understand left/right, pairings, all that.Tony D, despite the penalty, was far from the biggest problem with the defense Thursday. Nobody was particularly good. Miller may someday be a great defenseman, but he mostly looked tentative and shaky. Jack Johnson is in fact demonstrably awful; another in a long line old defensemen trying to bleed out another year of NHL salary before retirement whom the Rangers have been inexplicably signing forever. Benching Tony D is really stupid. Quinn made his point. This is going too far.

Come on, man. It's spamming at this point.

Agreed. The extra penalty was selfish, and maybe shouldn't have even penalty but I was ok with the refs tagging him for it. It also happened down 4 zip in the 3rd. Trying to pick a scapegoat for that game is shitty coaching IMO, and unaffordable to act like a tough guy coach in a shortened season unless there is a really good reason. This ain't it.

He was just too angry that Parler got taken down and took it out on the penalty box door

 

Everyone on the back end was shit opening night. Not being the biggest problem back there isn't saying a lot. Tony was awful. You can't bench everyone though

I don't mind Quinn doing this with ADA. This is an ongoing theme with him, for basically his entire life. Needs to be addressed, the behavior isn't changing.

Quinn is going to do his Scout Leader thing, hopefully Tony can get his Good Behavior badge back, and maybe in the meantime, Quinn can figure out NHL hockey.

How many penalties did Quinn take last 2 seasons including horrible challenges?

 

I have no issue benching guys, but we know the discipline is random and inconsistent with the message. That's always been the issue with Quinn.

Seems like ADA is the only one making the same mistake over and over and his discipline has been pretty consistent.

 

Act like an asshole, don't play.

 

Quinn's challenges are a non point. Come on.

I don't have a big issue with the way he treats players.

 

I do have an issue that the team, 3 years in, has no identity.

Oh good season starts today !

Neither do I, but he's not here to mold men, he's here to win hockey games. If he wants to mold men, then he should have stayed where he was. This is the get it done league.

I will say this. If he was at the end of his leash with ADA on opening day then maybe they should have traded him this offseason because it’s super quick. Also, ADA was bad, but who wasn’t? He didn’t take a back breaking play. He wasn’t even the worst D out there. JJ, Trouba, Miller all were horrible too.

Exactly. Just trade the guy, swap him for something responsible, and boring to take his place.

Ok now we play...Take 2!!

 

ADA needs to stop being a fucking baby and play the game....Quinn's had more patience with him than me. I would deal his ass in a second for a young, sizable 2-way center that can win faceoffs.

Our D looked horrendous. Millers maiden voyage looked like his first game which is not what you want to say. Definitely had some jitters but that is to be expected. Tony D needs to play; he makes the team better. Without him, they will plug some hole filler in.

 

This is getting old. I want to win again.

Oh good season starts today !

 

I hope so lol

I love hearing Sam bumble his way through “save Geeyore-gee-ev”

That's not true, and you know it. Every team in the league is in a different situation, some are going through growing pains, and some are ready to win. This team is in the middle, the vets don't need a lot of coaching but the young players do.

He's not getting benched for being bad. He's getting benched for yet another selfish penalty.

So he’s getting benched because in 2018 he took a crappy penalty or because he’s just the guy Quinn decided was the only one that didn’t show up? Zibanejad took two penalties. He getting benched? Trouba let Lee literally score a back breaking goal and get out muscled. He getting benched? Have we never seen that all last year? Jack Johnson took a penalty like a minute and a half into his Ranger career?

 

You get the point. I know I said I didn’t have a problem with Quinn’s handling during the game of ADA but to bench the teams best offensive defenseman a game into thr season is just asinine. Absolutely asinine. The whole team bombed. Not ADA specifically.
