gdt: [RS] (#14) Rangers vs. New Jersey Devils // COVID-River Rivals

[Scott]

We're tired he needed to give them a chance to catch their breath.

[Karan]

My God, what an embarrassing low this season. Getting utterly owned by the COVID hungover Devils.

 

Even if you can't fault Quinn for Zibanejad's slump, the injuries etc. why bother prolonging the inevitable? Even with a fully healthy roster and Rangers playing to their potential, everyone knows Quinn isn't going to lead this team to the next level of their rebuild. So why even bother re-evaluating him in the offseason? Make the change now and see if it has any tangible effect on the team.

Wtf happened to zibanajad. This is not the same player.

Lame shot selection. Feels like the Renney years, when nobody could find the spot to shoot the correct shot. It's either no shot, or really low percentage dumb shots.

He's a problem at this point. Can't handle the puck at all.

[Vodka Drunkenski]

Quinn is drawing cartoons on the board

 

I?ve missed you

[Karan]

The NJ Devils, your 2021 Stanley Cup contenders at their very best.

He's really the biggest problem with the team. You lose him, he takes Kreider with him, there's a ripple effect.

 

I know the popular narrative is Quinn, but Zib is far and away the biggest issue with the team at ES and PP (and I say this as a huge Zib fan, and someone who's ready to see Quinn go if for no other reason that I'm tried of reading about it LOL).

[Scott]

Kreider finishing strong.

[paddynyc]

Atta boys can?t wait for the excuses

Hammer meets nail meets coffin.

[Karan]

The body language in the post game pressers is going to be very telling. If they spout the same generic PR crap, it's pretty clear this team has mailed it in and given up on Quinn.

[Blue Heaven]

Gonna be interesting hearing 2000 fans boo the team off the ice next week

I didn't think we would reach garbage time this early but here we are. Good times.

He's an anchor. I know he doesn't want to use COVID as an excuse, but frankly there better be something to that or else the Rangers don't have a #1C.

[Keirik]

Devils had one practice sine Jan 32+1st and looked more organized

[Rangers]

Pathetic! Q out!

[Mike]

Complete dog shit

[Valriera]

i am on the fire quinn bandwagon after this one, i can live with the nonsense line juggling or the mishandling of players who should be seeing more playing time, but theres absolutely no excuse for a team that has had one practice in almost a month looking more organized and disciplined than this team, and that responsibility lies on the coach.

[Vodka Drunkenski]

Looks like we kept the wrong coach

[Pete]

There's really nothing you can do but let him play through it. Maybe when Chytil comes back it takes some offensive pressure off that top line? I don't know.

[siddious]

Great game by Blackwell and kakko. Wish the rest of the team showed up.

Time to send that message to Zibanejad. 4th line.

 

Strome moves up to top line.

I'm done with Howden. Call up Barron. Find someone on waivers to play center.... These "top" forwards need to be held to the same standards as others who get scratched, benched or put on the 4th line.

 

The "leaders" on this team are non existent. I see no difference between now and a month ago. They look lifeless and dead.

[BrooksBurner]

What's the updated record without DeAngelo fellas? #TeamUnity.

[ThirtyONE]

I honestly don't think there's anyway this team can make up the ground necessary to make the playoffs in this division. Not the way they've looked through 14 games. I didn't expect them to make the playoffs, but I at least expected them to make it interesting.

 

When your 19yo, rookie LWer is taking faceoffs because your centers can't win them, there's an issue.
