We were due for a bad loss. Calling it wash after taking both Minnesota and Dallas.
Montembeault played a good game. We had a ton of chances sometimes it just doesn’t go in. I’m not too upset with the loss, but hopefully this is a wakeup call that no one in the NHL is going to lay down and die for you.
“Canadiens 0-6 in last 6 road games outscored 32-11” and of course the rangers are there to snap it!
We lost 6 of the 7 games we played in the RR. Just saying.
Losing to bad teams is frustrating. Gotta get those two points against Columbus now.
Well. We deserved to lose. Pretty mediocre performance. This is what happens when you play down the competition.
It is absolutely infuriating to have so many chances on net and not score.
We should have had blown these guys out. The fact we lost with more chances on net is bitch slap worthy.
The defense was atrocious tonight. Awful. K’Andre won us the last one and lost us this one.
That stomach flu is probably bothering us.
Yeah… I don’t think I caught a winning game on TV or in the stands this season. I’ll stop.
We are back to having scoring issues again, between our general play and a constant inability to hit the net it hasnt been a great watch
Three guys had the bug, not the whole team, and they’ve been playing bad this month.
We can ignore the Stars and Wild because of the end result, it when you realize the last 240 minutes of play between NJD, Min, DAL, and MTL, it’s extremely underwhelming.
Zero points against teams like this will ensure we don’t catch the teams ahead of us, and play like this will ensure we are a first round exit (save for Igor carrying).
You can cite the record of the last 17 games for me, but fact is, outside 12ish games this year’s they’ve looked like a middling team at best.
Tomorrow’s gonna be interesting that’s for sure
I think it’s pretty clear that GG is not going to do a damn thing about the power play. PP1 will keep getting 1:30, they’ll keep doing the same thing no matter how many times they fail, they’ll never adapt.
Montembault went off. Win tomorrow
Montembeault was great (1G on 3.7 xGF) but the death blow of the season will be this team’s inability to score at 5v5.
Gallant has to start prioritizing his offensive players way more. Move Chytil up to Panarin line and move Trocheck down. Break up Miller/Trouba pair. Keep Kravtsov on 2nd line and stop moving up Goodrow/Vesey. Drop Harpur for Jones. May as well call up Trivigno at this point, you’re not going to get any offense from Blais/Brodzinski/Leschyshyn. Not picking up Tolvanen only looks worse
Team defense has been good but they’ve completely stifled their own offense at the same time. not sure you would’ve known from this game that MTL is a bottom 5 defensive team in the NHL (or that they’re tanking for Bedard)
Missin’ kreider rn
Vince ought to ask Gallant if PP1 is still « too good ».
Fat kid from Shrek in the Canadien goal ruined my day
Its either the other teams goalies have a great night or our offense cannot finish, sometimes its both.
Yeah, some sloppy plays here and there, but we outshot and outchanced (higher xG) them, and we just didn’t pull out the win. Only the 3rd regulation loss in the last 18 games. It’s not the end of the world
Yeah that loss was a real bummer, let’s see what happens tomorrow LGR
If the Giants weren’t playing right now, I would be a lot more pissed off by that effort. Sick or not sick, 19 more missed shots and another pathetic performance on the power play is inexcusable. Fucking figure it out.
Truly pathetic loss. The D don’t show up 1 game and we lose, sounds about right.
2 goals from our forwards in 10 periods is unacceptable. 0 for 11 and 6 for 23 on the powerplay is unacceptable. The Panarin-Trocheck experiment has to end. Negative chemistry. Chytil is great but he isn’t good enough to carry the 3rd line. Laf with zero shots this game, really squandering his opportunity to play on the top line. And what’s worse is he’s bringing Kakko down with him. I think we’ve had enough of these lines.
On to Columbus with Halak in net. Joy.
they just had possibly 2 of their biggest wins of their season that was literally only their 3rd regulation loss in their last 18 games and y’all still in here dooming instead of enjoying one of the best teams in the league i swear this sub is polluted with non rangers fans should they have won yes but their are no gimmies in the NHL bad teams will beat good teams it’s the same as baseball the rangers have been on fire jesus
I think we shrug this one off and move on. Sure 5v5 wasn’t great, but you can’t just mess up all the lines by removing 2 players and expect the team to play 100%.
So we’ve scored 2 regulations goals in 2 games with Laf being on the top line
These Jerseys are cursed
Gotta win games like this against the last place team in the division. Embarrassing
Kakko has taken strides this season no doubt, but the dude has absolutely no killer instinct right now. he can dangle around two guys along the boards circle up top and he never ever drives to the net, it’s driving me insane he’ll always shade off and circle away or make a pass. Dude sometimes you gotta just have some big dick energy and go the net and shoot the puck. I know he doesn’t want to take a low percentage shot and give up possession but good things happen when you shoot.
Need to let Chytil play with some offensive talent
This game was crystal clear why Trouba is not a good player.
On the first goal against, he was on a 2 on 1 with Kakko shorthanded and he chose to shoot hard, missing wide. Habs have an oddman rush the other way as a result and score on the PP. He should have passed but instead chose to shoot hard and miss and he is too slow to get back on D.
Second goal against, Miller coughed up the puck but Trouba inexplicably is next to him behind the net, leaving Caufield all alone in front.
He’s been this way all season. Every game he makes several glaring mistakes like this.
This team plays up and down to competition more than any in my lifetime
I thought everyone said the only thing holding laf back was his minutes? What’s the excuse now? Kid is dogshite rn
When was the last time we had a sweat free win? It’s been awhile. I get the East is a beast and there’s very few bad teams but this was one of them. On top of that they were on a back to back. On top of that they had their backup goalie. On top of that Shesty got the start.
Great teams don’t lose these games and play down to bad teams like this. Blech.
Things GG wild.do about the continued missed shots and PP:
– nothing
That’s the whole list.
I’d like to blame that one on the stomach bug that is apparently going around the locker room but then whats the excuse for the rest of the crappy play this season ?
How the fuck does Blais have a stanley cup but is complete dogshit
i miss kreider. the powerplay is bad and needs to be changed. and i’m sad that i spent money to see such a pathetic performance
Whack
You lost to a team who isn’t trying to win.
The 5 on 5 was dog shit. Tried the same cross ice pass time and time again, shocked when the back checking forward picked it off every time.
The power play is some how worse. Stale. Stale Stale Stale.
I don’t think any forward had a good night. Maybe Chytil? He had a bit of jump to him.
Laf is playing scared. I honestly think his issue is the same as Kakko earlier: Confidence. The talent and skill is there, but I think the pressure and frustration is really showing itself.
Key can’t over skate the puck, but whatever. Trouba can’t miss far side on a 2 on 1 down a man, but it’s Trouba.
Trap game. Team got trapped.
Bad loss to take, the February schedule is bruuutal.
What does Laf do? Kakko back to almost invisible too.
Giants won so it’s ok for tonight
Giants took all the energy today, bounce back against CBJ
New guy lesyshyn looked like he has some speed and tenacity
Seemed like a lot of individual efforts today, lines out of whack bc of injury losses, and too many mistakes. I’m concerned about Laffy and want him to succeed, but I’m optimistic moving forward. See y’all tomorrow night!
You know what when you think of it as trading an NYR win for a Giants win you feel a lot better
