Rangers lines look poo poo as usual. Glass in the lineup, Buch sitting, Vesey on the 2nd line, Girardi on the top pairing, and Staal-Holden a pairing even though they suck poo poo together

Oh well I shouldn't have expected anything different

i honestly wonder whether there is a coach alive who would do the right thing and not dress his worst players if they are Good Team Guys who used to maybe be good at some point (see: dan girardi) but there has to be a coach alive who would never have called tanner glass back up, never have played tanner glass over pavel buchnevich, and never got a hardon for tanner glass in the first place

don't get me wrong i think AV is a good coach and will do well once again when he goes somewhere else but i have always believed that any coach has a limited shelf life with any given team and i think that we are clearly seeing the results of AV having surpassed his in new york, unable to view his team with fresh eyes and make the roster decisions that he needs to

Imagine caring this much about posting on a hockey forum /\

also playoff posters, don't trust anyone that believes in advanced stats.

it seems like you certainly care a lot about maintaining your gimmick of The Dumbest Guy About Hockey

grack posted:

Coming from experience - just wait until AV is fired and replaced and you'll realize just how good a coach he is.

Also, what the gently caress do you expect from that defense?

just because dan girardi and marc staal are on this team doesn't mean they need to be given top pairing minutes, especially not when one of the best defensemen you have spent half the season scratched because your coach is unable to accurately assess talent

Girardi-McD makes me question many many things. Mostly: Is Girardi bringing McD down that far or is McD just done?

i'm guessing you haven't seen him play without girardi, which he did for much of the season, during which stretches he was the team's best player. the fact that he is playing with girardi is something that he can not fix on his own. the coach, however could fix that. AV could also play adam clendening, who is better than at least 3 of the defensemen who the rangers dressed last night, but he does not do that because Leadership and Experience or some poo poo

and i agree regarding the horrible play through the neutral zone, which is also something that it is incumbent, as a matter of strategy, upon the coach to fix.

basically nothing that you have said has in any way disabused me of the notion that AV has run his course as the coach of the new york rangers

only two of those goals could really be said to have had anything to do with clendening, those being the second (which was a clusterfuck to begin with because of a bad broken play started by a misplay of the puck, not by clendening, on a routine dumpin) and the fourth (which, granted, wasn't very good on his part but i'll take what he contributes to the transition game over whatever the gently caress girardi is doing on any play in any part of the ice)

i mean as far as intentionally offensive humor (which i typically do not enjoy) goes it was pretty good and also i guess when the butt of the joke is a guy who was unequivocally a very bad person it's ok to make a joke like that about them although i do feel bad in a way for aaron hernandez because he clearly was hosed in the head and probably due to his athletic talent was actively encouraged in his sociopathic behavior and actively dissuaded from getting any help ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I love AV, but he's making some weird choices in this series. Giving Buchnevich and Lindberg 5 minutes of ice time in a game that goes to double OT? Brady Skjei was their best defenseman after McDonagh last night, but he played the least minutes? I half expect him to scratch Buchnevich and play Tanner Glass 10+ minutes next game.

this is what i've been saying for months and the glass thing is probably going to actually happen
