100% he makes mention in his postgame, (frank) AV and his minions who give him the benefit of the doubt but not his job saver
- KreiderBomb

I agree it's not his job. But that is due only to Hank's professional well being style off the ice.
I hope he pretends now that he is injured, and sits out the balance of this lost season, in the same way that A.V. MOST LIKELY PRETENDED that Georgiev came up ill with the flu on Friday, only to be back today on the bench, due to A.V.'s lacking of confidence in him to beat Ottawa yesterday.
A.V. received what he deserved in these last two losses. Maybe HANK will TANK the balance here, to please tomburton especially, and the show management that he will no longer play under this coach who simply, just doesn't get it here any longer, and MUST BE OUSTED NOW.

You probably still have confederate money...

Can you buy Bitcoin with those?

Seriously Vin, thats a tad ridiculous. Because we criticize Hank when he has a bad game it means we are fairweather fans. You're better than that.

I think today was the day most people here made him a scapegoat

What do ya know! Dolan has actually two Knicks teams that call MSG home right now!

I think even the tough Philadelphia fans would not have made Hank a scapegoat today, given A.V.'s actions taken this weekend.

Would love to see AV's postgame presser after that mess.
- Fenrir

More of the usual 💩 he's been spewing out as the lopsided losses mount. Or maybe his whole presser will be a guessing game of how much gum he can stuff in his mouth. I'd rather watch that honestly.

I’m disgusted not only to be a fan of this organization but to associated with a lot of these fans

What else does the GM need to see.. this team has quit. They’re all entitled to bad game here or there just like we all have crappy days, but when it the same thing happens game in and game out there should be a cause for concern. Either the coach should have adapted and made changes or the players stopped listening... Trade them all including Hank. Blow it up and right the ship. Hank alone will bring us picks and/or players then Nash.. Holden should bring us new practice pucks and and a gently used net.. watching the game today was miserable. Grant it they left Hank out to dry on a few but most of those goals were soft

Look what Hank did to his teammates today

poor guy

A.V. on the post game interview in some key, but not the exact words:
"It was big time offensive hockey with a lot of goals."
"We tried to bounce back from our game yesterday."
"I have to push the players and keep on doing it."
"We are coming up short in trying to win with our injuries."

Hank's key post game words:
"It's hard to find the energy and confidence to play in a game."
"I have to try to do better on deflections."

Despite all their injuries, A.V. is totally lost and clueless. The players had tuned him out a lot earlier than today, with him saying that he "has to keep on pushing the players".
Hank is becoming worn out from the entire season of facing the second highest SOG in combined total, and 35+ in many games. Now besides him saying in part that his energy level is lower, (as per him looking tired today from the opening goal he allowed and throughout), he is also claiming he is lacking in his confidence to play well under this situation.

A.V. & CO. MUST GO NOW, PRIOR TO HANK SURPRISING ALL & WANTING OUT!

hank did not have a strong game, he will be the first to admit it. On rare occasions he has completed, but usually, Lundqvist has criticized his own performance. There is no way he should have been back between the pipes. Plus, once he was, pulled him after the second, as he looks wiped. The team is on a downward slope and the mentality right now is that the majority of the squad has either checked out or focused on the trade deadline.

Those who criticize Lundqvist's contract are having a field day this season. He hasn't helped lately, but for three months, he put the team on his back. Now, he is suffering from it, which also is adversely impacting the team. The time has come for a change behind the bench, either right now or after the season.

I blame the players as well but the coaching staff has bear a good brunt of the criticism.

Look what Hank did to his teammates today

Miller had 12:42 of ice time, 3rd only to McLeod 11:31 and Desharnais 12:39. He's 2nd on the team in points, was 2nd on the team in corsi today, yet 3rd lowest icetime. AV needs to go.

It'll be interesting to see if he takes the next step under a new coaching staff. If he doesn't, well, he'll be the next on my list to go.
