Hilarious reading a Flyers board. They hope the Rangers destroy them. They hate the team and the coach. LOL
I believe I said Hunt had no offense of ability who else should I badmouth to turn them into a 30 goal scorer
Yeah I thought he should’ve got a game he had plenty of time to not hit him he saw his back for a little while
Holy shit Igor with those saves on the flyer's power play. That was like Mike Richter/Henrik's type of goaltending.
They just keep on winning, 2 points out of 1st and the youth continue to improve. I thought Hunt deserved the 5, looked like he even left his feet a little but guarantee a similar hit to any Ranger would be 2 with no review. Philly has a pretty weak roster made worse by AV so the Rangers did what they had to do. Rooney gets robbed of a goal on a phantom offsides call too. Igor has been ridiculous, his ability to handle the puck makes him that much better.
I agree a tough call on hunt but now that he's become a top line player and is playing well while up there there's a time and a place for that type of hit and at the time he did it rangers had game under control and there was no need. He deserved a penalty. Unfortunately for him it drew blood and to the head that's an automatic five. Don't think he should have been thrown out for that but I don't know what leeway the ref has or hasn't in that situation. I don't know about you guys but I love looking forward to ranger games now and enjoy than more than I have in a long time. This team is competitive pretty much every game now and getting better. Imo in Igor we have the best goalie in hockey. The bread man has woken up and now just need zman to start putting pucks in the net. And the first time in a while they won a game on my birthday, number 67. I still think unless Drury is showcasing Lundqvist for some kind of incoming trade he's overmatched up here and Schneider should be up here along with jones. Also love gallant not taking any shit from the refs and calling them out on some of these questionable calls to be kind unlike our past bubblegum and the comatose former coaches!
Lundkvist isn't overmatched at all. If you notice, the second PP unit is flourishing now. He's a big part of it. His passing is pinpoint. He's played 16 games with a crap d partner and he's a +1. That being said, it's unfortunate for him that Fox is incredible, Schneider is the stud we need to win playoff games and he's the same size as Fox. Trouba is playing his best hockey here now. However, faceoffs are a huge issue still. Especially if we have to face a team like Toronto in the playoffs. Strome is a heaping pile of crap on faceoffs. Personally, I think Chytil is going to go in a deal. The move that makes the most sense would be to move Strome from a cap perspective. However, I don't think Panarin would react well to that. I'm thinking Miller more and more is going to be brought back. I don't see having to offer much more than Chytil and Lundkvist for Miller. Maybe throw in Hajek. That's it. No picks.
I would make them take back Georgiev to get some money off the payroll now. Miller has one more year on his contract. I think Strome after this year is in for a rude awakening. He's going to want a long term deal and he's not getting one. Not when you can't win more than 42% of your faceoffs. He's a huge liability in that area. If they acquired Miller, I would assume they would do everything to lock him up. The only other thing I can think of is have Panarin or Hunt or whatever wing is on his line take faceoffs. Ideally, if Barron was on that line, he could take all the draws. Hunt would have to be removed unless he can win faceoffs.
Dump, fox is 5’11” 183lbs and Schneider is 6’2” 210lbs. Schneider is a lot bigger and would really add to this team as soon as he gets up here.
You read it wrong. It was that Lundkvist was the same size as Fox. Read it again. LOL. I didn't put the sentence together too well. The first part of the sentence was talking about Lundkvist to go with that last part.
