Hoping he gets in a couple games with a real coach before Quinn starts to ruin him like he's doing with Kakko, Gauthier and Lafreniere. When retard Quinn comes back I expect the team to quit on him and hopefully JD and Gorton who have had their head up their ass after the draft will fire him quickly.
Again I'm confused. I thought the team already quit on Quinn? You wrote that last week. So they're going to quit on him again? That's tough. And the fact that you expect that means they'll probably throw a parade for him when he returns, since you are wrong more than any person on earth from what I see.
I have his no nothing about hockey dumbass on ignore. So I don't see his retard shit. I have no idea other than the fact he's a mental midget, why he responds to my posts. I guess he's just that dumb. Not surprising considering he thinks Quinn has a clue. I saw a Rangers fan at a brewery and said Quinn has to go. He said, hell yes and that schmuck Howden also. Yet, Chuck still remains a moron.
LOL. Chuck, you don't see that team is playing very differently these past 4 games. I am not even talking about the result, they are skating better, their passes seem sharper, the transition from D to O is much smoother and noticeably faster. They have a lot more chances per game. I don't see much difference in the defense, I know Sam and Joe saying that every night, but I don't see that, but the offense, the flow of the game is very different from previous games. Also, Kakko scoring 2 goals, I know one was an empty netter, but still it is 2 goals is because he played with Strome and Panarin. This is what we have been saying all along, put the kids on 3 separate lines (LFA, Kakko and Gauthier). Quinn is going to bury Kravtsov onto the 4th line and make him prove himself playing with the least talented players. That's the point that dump is making and I agree with him.
Trying to get through to Chuck on the Rangers is like telling a dog to stop licking his nuts. It's never going to happen. He's a stubborn fucking mule who can't see his own stupidity.
Shocker - cursing and vulgar responses. Who would have guessed it. What a child. As for the team, here we go again. It was Knoblauch's team when they won, then this is Quinn's team and Knoblauch is following his orders (which was confirmed by Brooks and the MSG guys) when they lost. Now they won a couple of games and it's look how much better they are playing. Quite frankly the whole thing is laughable, and once again shows you guys will spin the story to meet your rigged against Quinn narrative. Safe to say the non followers of your leader in here know the real truth about the nonsense.
Chuck, while Quinn is saying who is in and out the difference I noticed right away is the lines not changing every 5 minutes and guys having a chance to get used to linemates. The play is also more crisp to the eyes.
Exactly - when they win. When they lost it was this is still Quinn. You guys want it both ways. That's clear. All good. This sums it up - not much else to say: And interesting it was to see Kris Knoblauch double down and go Full Quinn from behind the bench by sitting kids and heaping time on the big guns down the stretch of Saturday’s victory in Washington. Of course, when David Quinn, the head guy who is expected to be in COVID protocol through at least Friday, pulls a stunt like that, he should be dismissed immediately. But when the acting guy, Knoblauch, does it, that proves that he has the pulse of the team and should be hired to replace the other one forthwith.
Wasting your time dude. One cup in 81 years but according to Chuck and a couple of other dipshits here the Rangers know what they are doing.
The one cup in 81 years thing doesn't make much sense. Were JD/Gorton/Quinn around for those 81 years? Last I checked they have been together for 3 years or less since JD came on board. Just before that time they issued a letter of surrender and rebuild. So holding 81 years against this leadership group is quite frankly ridiculous. And if you want to bring the owner into this, I don't really buy that either as he stays out of hockey (he is/was too in the weeds with the Knicks). So to me this leadership group has been together for 3 years or less, they have been together under a clear rebuild scenario, and they have made moves/taken strides to keep the rebuild down to 3 years hopefully, as I expect next year we get back to winning. I know that is a fair and rational way to look at it, which means no shot you'll get it or agree since it's about instant gratification and firing a coach 4 months after he is hired, but that's reality. I have said over and over again, Quinn may not be the guy but I think he deserves next season to make that call given the circumstances of his time here. Team should be lined up to win next season, sink or swim time for Quinn.
Yes, we are aware of your opinion on that. Good teams don't recycle coaches every 2 or 3 years. Once again I am puzzled as to what Quinn has done to lose his job given the self proclaimed rebuild in place when he got here, the solid growth season given the talent last season, the youngest team in the NHL this season, 13 mill in dead cap space this season, and still showing good growth as the season has progressed. Go look around at other rebuilds and how many years teams have stunk and are still rebuilding. Maybe that will give you some perspective (doubtful as an entitled NY fan). Under JD/Gorton/Quinn they have this team moving in the right direction in 3 years, and poised to take a big step forward in year 4 (with the right moves this summer). You can think whatever you want, but in the absolute best case scenario Gorton and Quinn thought next year to start winning again. That's when Staal's, Hank's, Smith's deals were set to expire. It is also why they were okay buying out Shatt knowing he had a huge balloon dead cap space hit this year, and why they were okay buying out Hank for 5.5 mill knowing he is down to 1.5 against the cap next season. I have absolutely zero doubt next season was their best case focus when the letter was issued. Most rational fans realize all that though.
Okay, last try! Chuck, they played the same each game, they lost one I believe so far 2:1 loss to Caps where they blew the lead late. They played very well that game. Again, I am not judging by the result but the way the team played these past 4 games. Their play is very consistent, the passes are sharp, the guys are getting used to each other because lines stay consistent. The only change was Howden out Gauthier in and he switched Blackwell with Kakko. I am judging strictly by the flow of the game how I see it. It is easier to watch, easier on the eye. I haven't walked out to even get water during these past 4 games, or I paused TV to get something, but with Quinn, I used to walk away all the time because at times it would be painful to watch. If you don't see it, you don't see it. That's fine. If Quinn was a relative of mine, I would defend him as well.
That sums it up. It looks easier on your eye. After they lost to the Caps it was oh this is Quinn's team still. Then they won and it's oh I see a big difference and Knoblauch is amazing. It's comical the way you guys operate with a pre-ordained POV and perspective. It is funny how me being fair to Quinn knowing that the team played well given their talent last season, and this season they were getting sharper and maturing under Quinn, makes me a Quinn defender. I just want to be fair to the guy and not look to fire coaches every 2 or 3 years. You guys love to blame the coach for everything, and it's worse now because the team self-proclaimed we are not winning for a while, and you still are getting on the coach. Best thing for Knoblauch is never get the full-time Rangers job or you guys will turn on him like you did Quinn. Again your leader started a Fire Quinn thread 4 months after he got the job. Don't tell me there isn't an agenda to always blame/fire the coach when that thread is started 4 months in. Come on now.
Thought it was pretty telling to hear Knoblauch say that playing or not playing Kravtsov was not his decision and he didn't expect him to play this year. Unless I read it wrong. I read it quick this morning. Inept and incompetent Gorton has refused to do the house cleaning that is necessary on this team. Meaning DeAngelo, Howden, Di Giushitty and Smith all out here. Blackwell to the minors. No more scratching Gauthier. Kravtsov on the ice instead of whacking off in the stands or in the AHL.
Once again, you make stuff up. It is Quinn's decision, but no one said he wasn't playing this year. He isn't playing tonight as he needs some practice time. I would think Saturday or Sunday. You will look for any reason to rip someone man.
Kris Knoblauch is the perfect front man as the New York Rangers enter another contest with their eyes set on a win. Since his emergency call up due to David Quinn testing positive for COVID-19, Knoblauch has been in constant contact with the head coach. They speak by phone or zoom daily, and multiple times on game days. So while the Blueshirts have won three of their last four with some new faces behind the bench, it is still Quinn and his staff pulling the strings and making the calls. After the Rangers demolished the Flyers 9-0, Knoblauch detailed how Quinn and the staff prepared them. “I talked to Quinny throughout the day – we probably had six phone calls,” he revealed. “Obviously the game plan was set out for us – well prepared.” Expectedly, Quinn detractors disregarded those comments and felt Mika Zibanejad’s breakout game was due to Knoblauch. “A big part of our success tonight came off O-zone face-offs,” Knoblauch began to explain. “I remember that was one of the things [Quinn] told me before the game was to give our top lines more opportunities to score. Have them take those offensive zone face-offs.” Once again, Knoblauch details how he is executing a predetermined game-plan that includes how to distribute ice time. Credit where credit is due. Knoblauch has done a great job executing for the Rangers, but we all need to remember where he gets his marching orders from. This surge by the Rangers belongs primarily to the players, but Quinn deserves tremendous credit as well.
Don't let those facts get in the way of the anti-Quinn narrative though. Credit to Knoblauch for sure, but credit to Quinn and staff also as they are heavily engaged and involved in what's going on as is clearly called out above. I will also add, if Quinn does take anything out of this time away when he returns over the weekend or Tuesday, I do hope he settles in with the lines a bit more and let's them work through any struggles. I think that would be wise. I would expect these lines once Kravtsov is in: Kreider/Zib/Buch Panarin/Strome/Kakko Lafreniere/Chytil/Kravtsov Lemieux/Rooney/Blackwell Let it ride and away we go.
