Post-Game Talk: Game 5

[mrmovies779]

We need big dick Chris to show up tomorrow..he's awesome in close out/elimination games.Panarin helping out would be terrific too

Trouba isn't incompetent. He's error prone. That's fixable at a personal and tactical level.

It's on him to exercise better judgement. His playing a greater role is not an automatic problem. He needs to step up and I'm sure they've communicated that to him.

I don’t quite agree. his toolset is so limited that he’s constantly error prone. it’s one and the same with him. miller is the one who’s actually error prone that can be fixed.

He’s too immobile. That’s by far the greatest issue imo. His first step is like he’s waist high in mud

He is? Where was he games 4 and 5?

100%
Brian Boyle was saying as such on todays episode of the podcast with Mollie & Brooks

Yea and also I believe that when the opposing team sees that he's been benched later in the game they breath easier and start taking liberties, they know he won't be coming out to do anything.

I also don't like how the staff told him not to fight anyone. Told him not to fight Wilson in the 1st round. Not to fight now. Stop the castration. Let him do his thing. If he wants to pummel DeAngelo let him.

 

[Machinehead]

He's literally one of the best scorers in elimination games in NHL history.

 

[Machinehead]

You know what bothers me. The 4th line with Rempe in the lineup energizes the team by forechecking the heck out of the opposition. Rempe pins the puck against the wall, busts his ass all over the ice. The 4th line is effective at wasting the opponent's time and energy.

Then halfway through the 2nd period, Lav decides to bench Rempe and the 4th line becomes a complete non-factor.

I happen to really like Laviolette. But I can't agree with this decision. Shortening the bench like that in the playoffs with series going deep. Can't do that. Also, if a player is effective in the 1st period then he'd be effective in the 2nd and 3rd. Just play the kid and let the team roll along.

Because the 4th line sucks.

They haven't done what you're describing since early in the Washington series.

That doesn't answer my question.

They were doing it early in game 5 the other night.

 

[Machinehead]

Carolina took twice as many shots as we did when that line was on the ice. They were in their own zone.

 

[Machinehead]

That doesn't answer my question.

Yes it does.

 

[KevinFinnerty]

Problem with Trouba is he has cement in his states, he is not agile or quick to the puck, and to top it off, his decision making is horrible.

 

[Pawnee Rangers]

He's literally one of the best scorers in elimination games in NHL history.

He was also wide open (or had a lot of space) in the slot a bunch of times off the rush and Roslovic just aimlessly skated the puck around the net and gave it up.

 

[The Crypto Guy]

Yes it does.

So he was in the bathroom for games 4 and 5?

 

[KevinFinnerty]

we need a player to step up in every position this next game, to me that is Panarin, Fox, and Igor. if those 3 stars show up its over. I already expect Kreider to have a monster game, it's what he does. I'm more scrutinizing Panarin and Fox this next game.

 

[Machinehead]

He was also wide open (or had a lot of space) in the slot a bunch of times off the rush and Roslovic just aimlessly skated the puck around the net and gave it up.

Yeah, I like Roslovic's speed but him running behind the net is getting old.

He's just letting Carolina catch up.

 

[Machinehead]

I'm not having this conversation again.

It's just trolling at this point targeting one of the franchise's all-time best players.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

Laviolette was just waiting for this. He must have been so excited to lose two games to have an excuse to put this pairing back in. God why are our coaches consistently so f***ing stupid. Confirmed I'm not going to watch this. I can't watch this team historically self destruct. They just can't get out of their own way. It must be our worst defenseman not playing in a top 4 role that got us in this position. Stupid f***ing idiot coach.

 

[hardnosed]

Unless they make a huge mistake and leave Mika wide open in the slot. Jack created that goal so he thinks Carolina will make a similar mistake and they haven't since

 

[KevinFinnerty]

I would assume the NYR brass knows very well what kind of black eye it would be on the franchise to lose last year to the Devils and then get reverse-swept. it's just unfathomable to me and I hope it doesn't happen.

 

[Leonardo87]

I'm pulling the plug on this PGT, it's just gotten to be over the top. They are still up 3-2 in this series, feel free to use the Roster thread, till the GDT is up later today for tomorrow's game.

It's time to put this game in the rear view mirror. Thanks.
