E.Staal...what a pickup by Gortomoron. Wide open net and he can't lift the puck. A rookie is outplaying our superstar goalie. What else is new.
My lord Al...do you ever stop bitching about the refs. Jesus Christ man...we are playing like sh*t, we are 0-2 on the PP without a sniff, we have ZERO 5 on 4 PP goals in the series, Hank is playing a terrible game tonight, we don't even come close to testing their unproven goalie, and you are complaining about the refs nonstop...wow. To each their own man.
WHO IS THE ONE PLAYING THE OLD DMEN? AV!!!! AV IS PLAYING AN OLD SLOW BOYLE OVER A YOUNER FASTER (granted not speedster) DYLAN!!!! You are proving my point.
That's what I'm saying. AVs system has been figured out and instead of adjusting he keeps doing the same shit. He keeps trying to spread out the ice in the offensive zone instead of crashing the net and getting the gritty goals that are necessary in the playoffs.
I blame the players who have played like crap. We should bump the Torts posts from 3 years ago and stop the thread now. This is THE SAME EXACT NONSENSE word for word that was posted about Torts. These guys need to look in the mirror and have some pride...forget the coaches. And that is not to say AV is perfect or blameless, I haven't said that at all, but by far the players should have the biggest spotlight on them, and instead all you see is refs and coaches. That is funny to me.
When the goals comes off a bullshit penalty ill bitch and moan. But hey we are second in the division right...thst horse got beaten to death the entire season so please..leave me alone about bitching on the refs
Good thing this isn't Philly because this team would be getting things thrown at them by these fans lol
Just a pathetic effort vs a rookie goalie. This group of players just can't score in playoffs and on nights they give up goals games are over early. Last 10 periods at MSG post season 1 Goal
You need the players to be able to play that type of game. You can't just snap your fingers and decide ok now we're going to be a gritting team. What do you think they tell Nash? Hey Rick we realize you have scored almost 400 goals in your career but do us a favor don't go hard to the net or play a power game. He simply doesn't want to or is afraid to get hit.
AV wont change anything because he does not know anything else. He is not a creative coach. The same shit happened in Vancouver. The canucks fans were saying the same thing. The team will get worse as his tenure continues even with different players.
AND WE FUCKING REPLACED TORTS BECAUSE IT WASNT WORKING ANYMORE. You're not good at proving a point Chuck, unless that point is mine. Torts got ran out because his system was no longer working. AVs system seems to not be working either anymore, but you and Al are here defending him. If we miss the playoffs next year, will you still defend him or will you be trying to run him out of here like we did Torts when he missed the playoffs. We have a decent core of players here, and a few moves could make us great. However, I just don't see that with AV and his refusal to adjust and adapt. He has his gameplan and he sticks to it whether it's working or broken.
But Nash isn't the only one. Kreider doesn't do it. Miller doesn't do it. Staal doesn't do it. Hayes doesn't do it. That's a SYSTEM issue. If it's just Nash then it's all on him. When it's countless players doing the EXACT same shit, I blame the coach. A player or two playing soft is one thing. An entire team being afraid to go in front of the net and crash the goal, I blame coaching and gameplanning.
