~~Fishstick trolls~~ I mean doomers, loving that loss.
No big deal. We’ve been on a great run. We were gassed all game. Definitely looking tired. On to the next one.
Games played on April 1st does not count.
Takeaways:
Fuck all refs. Indiscriminately. Wes McDonkeynuts would be ashamed of himself if he wasn’t a blind zebra fart and didn’t bet on Shittsburgh to win.
Earlier in the season, I’d be grumpy at the rangers play. Lately I’m more pissed off at officiating and other teams. This is a great sign. Last year I never got to that point and they shit all over my hopes and dreams. The year before that I was pissed at officiating and other teams. Coincidence? I think not.
Best $400 I ever spent 🙃
After hearing Lav’a presser, I wouldn’t get your hopes up about any D pair changes
Remember that Wes McCauley tried to get away with taking away that Kakko goal too….
>Trouba was hard on himself in the locker room. Said first goal was “not on anybody but me” and “I’ve got to be better.” Added that he’s doing things that “are holding the team back since my coming back,” but believes they’re “easily fixable.”
He’s right about the last part. He didn’t play bad tonight because he’s just naturally a terrible player ~~like Goodrow~~, he made a bad turnover and then a miscalculated pinch which are both easily fixable.
I’m not blaming anyone. Wes McCauley. And that giveaway by Cuylle.
Avs lost 4-1 to the blue jackets. This sucks because I like the Avs, but it does kinda make this loss hurt less at the same time lol
Edit: 4-0 even better
Imagine screaming the sky is falling w/7 games left, and have a LEAD in the division and conference
Nobody got hurt afaik. Sucks to lose to the Pens, but is what it is.
April fools right? Right?
Not blaming Shesterkin at all because I’m blaming this on McCaukey but if Shesterkin made that save on BUMstrom we would have gone to OT… ugh…..
Please tell me this is an April Fools joke…PLEASE!
The most “shit happens” loss imaginable.
I don’t really have high hopes of it happening but I genuinely believe our chances lie in Laviolettes ability to diagnose that 79-8 can’t be a thing in the playoffs within the next 2 weeks.
Ain’t shook
Don’t get me wrong. I love the comeback style
Play of hockey and they are good at it. I hope they are just practicing that for the playoffs. I really hope we start scoring outside of the 3rd period. Some 1st period goals would be nice. They can’t play comeback hockey all playoffs long they should be practicing on how to score first these next 7 games. That’s it.
Now that we lost, can we finally get Rempe in? What happened to the whole “rotate forwards” thing Lav said he was doing?
Didnt watch the whole game, but from what I saw it was clear they were playing soft, which is honestly fine. We’re most likely matching up against tampa and are gonna REALLY need to not be fatigued or injured. I know thats not like a pre game coach speech, but its in the guys heads Im sure.
That being said they’ve obv gotta bring the intensity up before the playoffs
The Rangers being so much better comparatively than the Mets makes it easier to cope when the Rangers lose. Also helps ease the pain of Mets losses with the Rangers dominating.
Just to make you guys feel better if anyone is and we lost. Avalanche lost 4-0 to the blue jackets lol got shutout
I honestly don’t think it’s fair to pin that goal on Cuylle, he was totally double teamed and had the puck stolen away from him. Just me though.
Might’ve been worst game of the season. Everyone sloppy. Trouba Miller worst games for each of them maybe I’ve ever seen. Think we gotta split that pair.
Nedeljkovic deff played a good game, i felt like our offense was fine but got a little robbed by him a few times. Other than that the first goal by troubas turnover was avoidable, but ultimately its just a loss we should be able to move on from, weve been winning a lot losing one is to be expected here and there so theres no panic in my eyes
