    Kreider's comments show how stupid he is and that he is a child. This is the same player who was being ruined by Torts and who the players revolted against to save his career. How quickly the dumb fuck forgot that. Torts had no interest in letting any young player develop at the NHL level unless you blocked shots with your face and did exact what he wanted. The NHL is a development league for all players. Players continuing developing their game like they do in any league. Kreider's comments show that he is a coward. He is afraid of losing ice time to two superior talents in Lafreniere and Kakko and having a reduced role which he should. Kreider has been an inconsistent disappointment his entire career. He has never consistently scored his entire career. He has been a physical pansy for his size and strength his entire career. The fact he would say something like that shows he is completely clueless in evaluating his own massive incompetent flaws as a player.

    Kreider is also the most overrated playoff performer in Rangers history. In 80 career playoff games he has 39 points which sucks. If you take out his one good playoffs, in 65 games he has 26 points which is atrocious. He should be the last guy talking. Aho for Carolina has 35 points in 34 playoff games. He can talk. Not a dipshit like Kreider.

    10 games into the season in 2nd place not even playing good hockey but it's time to hit the self destruct button. Many of you predicted that the Rangers were not even playoff material this year but I guess it's time to move the goal posts and screech about lazy prospects not being pampered with enough minutes. GG has made it very clear that he needs effort both ways, How quickly you forgot that AV punished CK too dumpy, now he's tied for 2nd in the NHL in goals scored but he better tread lightly or the mean old coach will take away his ice time! I'd make the argument that the Rangers finally found a coach that allows CK to flourish and this could be the 40 goal season we've been waiting for. You'll find that every good team has a goalie like Igor stealing games for them, it's great that he's living up to the pick and coming from the KHL to a short AHL stint and then claiming the #1 spot. Georgiev on the other hand couldn't be worse right now but it's early. The Rangers are 31st in the NHL in shots per game . Kakko has 0G/0A 9 SOG after 7 games. How does that earn him ice time?

    If you haven't been watching the Knicks are decent this year and just had a ridiculous win last night. That is all Dolan cares about.

    Georgiev wasn't all that bad, the team can't clear the puck. If it wasn't for him it would've been 10-5.

    The reason Kakko and Lafreniere don’t score is because they aren’t on the first power-play unit getting confidence. That and the fact Panerin has been a little bitch this year and doesn’t make any effort to incorporate Kakko on his line.

    I don't understand the lack of aggressiveness by Laf and Kakko, chalk it up to youth I guess.

    They have no confidence. They aren't put out on the first PP unit. Given PK time. Given games where they get 18 to 20 minutes a game which is what they have done their entire careers until coming to this dumb fuck team.

    I don't love the lines Gallant has used, how he has used Lafreniere and Kakko, or who is playing/scratching. He has work to do to get comfortable with this team and his players strengths/weaknesses, and for the team to ever get to the next level Lafreniere and Kakko need to live up to the # 1 and # 2 picks in their drafts, and Gallant has to give them the opportunity to play in big spots. With all that being said, the guy has been the coach for 12 games, and it is ridiculous to ask for him to be fired.

    On top of that, this is a flawed team. The GM/Pres/owner did not do a good job addressing the needs. A better LD than Nemeth, and the most glaring need we all called out over and over again last season, a C upgrade and someone who can win a darn FO. He did nothing to address those needs at all. Yet he added Reaves AND Tinordi AND Blais AND Goodrow (who is overpaid), overkill in the toughness and grit department. That is not good enough from our GM/Pres/owner. Like the coach he is new in the job and deserves time to find his stride, but his first offseason was not good enough and did not address some major team needs.

    Here are the lines I would have gone with from the start:

    Panarin/Strome/Kravtsov
    Kreider/Ziban/Kakko
    Lafreniere/Chytil/Goodrow
    Reaves/Rooney/Blais

    To me that would give us our best balance. Give Lafreniere, Kakko, and Kravtsov a chance to grow and play important roles. Maybe you could switch Kreider and Lafreniere if need be, but directionally this is how I would have opened the season. Get rid of McKegg and Hunt. Barron and Gauthier are there as extras (Barron in the AHL to start).

    This is how I would have rolled out of pre-season. And yes I would have given Kravtsov a shot based on RW scoring need AND giving him a chance to show off his talent with responsibility.

    I'm surprised Drury hasn't made some sort of deal but he had to go into the season expecting more from their projected scoring lines. Aside from CK, the scorers aren't even shooting let alone scoring. Panarin looks off and has become very reckless with the puck. I agree about Nemeth, he has been their worst dman. I wonder if any other team has played a schedule as effed up as the Rangers. Heavy road schedule then half week off, hard to get consistent. Let's Go Rangers!

    The Devils are pretty good this year. Though Blackwood usually plays over his head the first 20 games then he sucks.

    There’s always a fire the coach thread at some point but for the most part we thought Gallant did a good job. It’s at the end of the year if you get a fire the coach the thread dumbass that you take it seriously lol

    He's not the strictest coach but he gets his message across and the players seem to respect him alot with his track record.

    When a coach continues to play inferior players over better players, he's on his way to getting fired. Carpenter sucks cock. Rydahl made him look like a schmuck. Gallant sucked off Hunt last year. Now Carpenter. He's fucked Kakko and Lafreniere over time and time again. Coaches who play rejects over superior players end up getting fired. Quinn did it. AV did it. Torts did it. All got fired. This assclown was saved last year by Shesterkin. He's on borrowed time. I see now why he got canned in Florida and Vegas.

    Even brodzinsky is better than carpenter and he got waived. Rydhal will be back but that’s a surprising move to demote him. Will see how Carpenter is in the regular season I guess.

    Not surprising. This coach sucked off Hunt and Rooney all last year. There was a reason he was shit canned by the Panthers and Knights. Starting to show itself now.

    So that's the reason we're stuck watching the Golden Knights and Panthers battle it out every year for the Stanley Cup.
