Too many mistakes vs a team fighting to stay alive. Of course BUF was winning this one.
Sign Tarasenko.
Why can’t we beat this team?
Imagine not getting a shot on goal in a shootout THREE TIMES
We played fine tonight against a desperate team, not worth getting bent out of shape over a shootout loss. The most important thing is Lindgren seems to be ok. Also Carolina lost….
meh. i understand the sabres are playing for something, but we still had a chance at home ice. would’ve been nice to see them come out the gate looking like they wanted it and capitalizing on it.
instead they pissed it away.
I posted this in the GDT so sorry for the repost but really want to reiterate because I feel very strongly:
Lindy coming back on the bench with like 11 secs left, so no chance he has a shift, and very very minimal chance he takes a SO shot, really shows why he got the award before the game. could have just chilled in the locker room. what a fuckin guy.
Sabres better come out like this against the Devils tomorrow!
Can they give a star to Miller? I feel like he contributed more to the win than anyone but Levi.
Imagine watching the 4 players before you try to be cute with the puck and not even have them count at shot. Tarasenko the only one willing to shoot the fucking puck.
LINDGREN IS NOT HUMAN
I know it doesn’t matter for the playoffs but we really need to clean up our act in overtime. We are the fourth worst in the league, second worst among playoff teams in OT/SO. I don’t care that it “isn’t real hockey” – it’s been part of the NHL regular season since 2004 and teams ought to know how to win there.
So I guess the goalie is just allowed to dive into the shooter’s skates and trip him up?
Refs also handed Buffalo the game when they failed to call a blatant crosscheck to the back of the head seconds prior to the tying goal
Lindy is a WARRIOR and Kakko is nasty
Too fancy in the shootout. Gotta get shots off.
Also, abolish the damn shootout. Add 5 min to OT and if no goal it ends in a tie.
I thought the curse on my Mika jersey was FINALLY going to be broken (they lose almost every time I wear it) and then K’Andre Fucking Miller had that weak-ass turnover to give up the tying goal. I might actually have to burn this thing.
To not even get 3 shots off in the shootout is comical.
This team has gone to OT more than a quarter of the games this season
Miller costs another game oof
Sorry but I’ve seen Levi play enough times in college to know the game was over after overtime.
Also Lindgren, how?
Thanks for the OTL, Key. Really enjoyed watching you be lazy on the ice, again tonight.
I can’t believe that 3 separate players never got off a shot in the shootout
Levi seems fairly legit – oh well. Finish the next one with a win please.
That was a frustrating way to lose. Levi is really good though, not worth any panic. Also, I love how Lindgren came back to the bench.
Here I was PISSED as fuck at the shootout, but seeing y’all’s positive attitude has given me faith! Really love this subreddit
Ah man we lost game 81
At least we get to root for Levi tomorrow night against NJ
Yikes the welt on Lindy’s face
Lindgren in the postgame interview just said that the slap shot he took to the face “must’ve just grazed him”. He’s literally the Terminator lol
Dang this was a rough one for k’andre. Hoping he shakes this one off before next week
The K’Andre Miller Spit Incident and it’s Effect on the New York Rangers
Love what vally said. I was one of the better kids in my grade at street hockey. But i always wanted to play goalie because of hank
zero confidence in our playoff run
Gallant needs to sit Miller for the last tilt of the regular season. Kid needs to watch a game from the box and get his head together. Should have never seen the ice in the OT either. Was shocked he was out there.
The vibe has just bring on the playoffs for a while now. I don’t think anyone expected to even be in a position to grab that number 2 spot
Holy hell, KAndre Miller will be fine. He was fine in the playoffs last year and he will be fine this year.
Panarin and Kane both have wrist shots. You’d think they would use it in a shoot out
Meh who cares. Just happy lindy seems ok. We can’t do this without him.
Miller lost this game for the Rangers and ever since the spit – he’s been a liability. Not sure you can afford to play him in the playoffs – he seems lost.
The way Carolina has played down the stretch, we really could have been first in the division.
Did Miller play at all after Buffalo tied it? I remember seeing a shift with Trouba and Mikkola
0 shots in OT it was worse than I thought oh my god 😂
So for a couple years this sub defended #13 and #24 clamoring them to get more TOI despite VASTLY underperforming, but Miller (also aged 23) needs to be benched after a bad game tonight. This team, with Miller on 2nd pair, has 107 pts and is in the playoffs. Don’t change a damn thing.
Guessing this means we can’t take first in the division any more? Can we even get second or are we locked into 3rd now? also, in what situation would the devils be able to take first? I’d much rather play Carolina…
K’Andre Miller is the RJ Barrett of the Rangers. Maddeningly frustrating to watch, and always seems to be on the ice / court when the other team scores or makes a run.
That commercial with the dad showing his baby the Rangers players’ faces- I saw Tony D’s face there. I am questioning his parenting
Was at the game. Overall not a bad effort. But why you as a coach, would put in 24 instead of 72 for the shootout is beyond me. Fil should have been out there
