Dem Posted December 10, 2023 Share Posted December 10, 2023 My wife n I thought about getting Tix to this game n making the 4 hour round trip. Thank the good Lord we did not. I would have been really pissed (and embarrassed) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbob Posted December 10, 2023 Share Posted December 10, 2023 4-3 if there was any puck luck. Laf, Kreider, Mika all should been net. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karan Posted December 10, 2023 Share Posted December 10, 2023 Yea, I agree it's shocking and unacceptable that Shesty isn't pitching a shutout and hasn't scored a goal to ensure the Rangers are leading this game right now. Trade his ass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrooksBurner Posted December 10, 2023 Share Posted December 10, 2023 Don't underestimate what this game means. This was a big game for Laviolette. He's coming back to Washington after 3 seasons ranging from mediocre to bad. Kuznetsov ripped him a new one over the summer. The Rangers are a no show for their new coach. The Caps look better off without Lavi. Brutal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too many entitled vets who were living off of a goalie making unconscious reflex saves the last couple of seasons. Can't do it now but it will happen soon enough. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Br4d Posted December 10, 2023 Share Posted December 10, 2023 Laviolette knew this was coming. His post-game pressers have been level and forward-looking to the need for adjustments. He and Drury probably are speaking about the situation already given the two forwards out long-term with injuries. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though think I’m on the mini blow up train in the offseason. what a difference 3 games makes. Truth is they are down two top 6 players even if you argue Chytil and Kakko aren’t. They were planned to be. It’s amazing they won with Fox down on top of. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like the last couple of seasons, no pride either… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dem Posted December 10, 2023 Share Posted December 10, 2023 (edited) The biggest problem I see is a regression back to the lack of D we've been experiencing the last few years. Our top G is playing like a mere mortal or worse to boot. Mostly bad puck luck on O. The scoring will come w this group. Long term much more concerned w the D Edited December 10, 2023 by Dem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ausman Posted December 10, 2023 Share Posted December 10, 2023 Look. It was never going to be clear sailing all season. This is a hiccup, one the Bruins didn’t have last year until the first round of the playoffs. This timing is better. It’ll get fixed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Gustafsson was better at driving the 5v5 offense than Fox has been since his return. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4EverRangerFrank Posted December 10, 2023 Share Posted December 10, 2023 IDK guys I’m not heading to the window ledge yet. We’ve enjoyed a helluva ride. And have now hit some bumps. The wheels have not come off! I missed the first period but what I did see shows me were in second gear maybe third but not the overdrive we’ve been seeing. (Also, how many shots are hitting the goalie square in the chest/glove/pads without screening.) Seems like our lacks of pace is allowing other teams to get in passing lanes and preventing our usual good movement. Confidence is a fragile thing. Thick as fuck when you’re winning. Brittle like thin crystal when you have some losses. Not doubting LAV either. Everyone stay calm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ducky Posted December 10, 2023 Share Posted December 10, 2023 They could be better and should be better. No excuses. Just don’t seem like they want to win. Lack of effort and playing with zero confidence 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
