    So emotional and so tough behind the keyboard, would be interesting to see your actions in real life though it's highly unlikely you clowns would be the first to bully me in person,

    Back to hockey time to move on from Krappo, too many better prospects with more potential. Drury needs to take what he can get for Kappo. predraft pedigree aside.

    Funny how pointing out how someone is wrong is now considered 'bullying'. Talk about sensative.
    This season is without a doubt Kakko's last ride with the team if he doesn't show major improvement. The only shot of that happening is if he plays with the top line talent. Right now he is not someone who can elevate the play of his linemates, he has to take advantage of playing with more skilled players. If he can't do that he'll be another on the long list of embarassing failures for this team. And I'm sure THAT is something we can all agree on.

    One thing to remember about Kakko, he started last season with Kreider and Zibanejad, and also was given a chance in the top 6 by Gallant, and didn't step up either time. Hopefully he gets it done if given the shot again this season, but it won't be the first time he has gotten a top 6 opportunity, he didn't take advantage of his shot(s) like Lafreniere has.

    I was referring to the political nonsense you two fools ascribed toward me.

    100% 94, to act like Kappo has been given no chances is false, he's failed to capitalize on any of the opportunities presented to him. It's irrelevant what he was forecast to be predraft, that guy never materialized, the window of Cup opportunity is closing, there's not time for the Rangers to hold Kappo's glove another year.

    Oh...I was joking about that. Politics has nothing to do with hockey. Dump has a habit of trying to own the libs for some reason....he's quite mad, really.

    The same nonsense that a lot of our fan base has that this organization knows what it is doing is beyond stupid. It needs to stop. They don't. They had a Hall of Fame goalie in Hank and couldn't put a legit offense around him his entire career. They appear to have another Hall of Fame goalie. One, they can't even build a young 4th line with a clear identity for the next 5 to 8 years. Two, they can't build a team that can't score at even strength. Three, they can't unfuck those two idiots Kreider and Zibanejad and find a player that can play with them. Four, they refuse to do with Lafreniere and Kakko what every other team in the league does with super high, forward draft picks. Play them 17+ minutes and on the first pp unit from day one. Kakko has been on the team 5 years, Lafreniere four and neither has played on the first PP unit other than a microscopic amount. Yet, our dickhead fans continue to lick the ass of the organization, blame the kids, take their dumbass woman to games with a Rangers jersey you bought for her and watch a bunch of vets score in the regular season then get ass fucked in the playoffs.

    If you think not putting a high draft pick at forward on the first PP unit for 4 to 5 years is giving them a chance, stop watching hockey. You're a retard. Flip on baseball. It's more your speed.

    I find it interesting you seem to put a lot of stock into whether or not a kid plays on PP1, as if that is the end all be all decider. At the end of the day, both Kakko and Lafreniere have been given chances to play in the top 6. Kakko has yet to capitalize on his opportunities (and Kakko said so himself after last season). I am hopeful he will capitalize on his opportunity this season, as I do think it will be his last chance to prove it with the Rangers.

    As I wrote a while back, to me the Kakko thing goes both ways. The organization no doubt has responsibility when a # 2 pick doesn't develop and come close to reaching their potential. But the player also has responsibility to step up and take advantage of the opportunities he is given (which Kakko has not). So, it goes both ways, and honestly if one is being fair, I think it is difficult to argue that.

    To me Kakko needs to man up and play man hockey. He seems passive and soft when you watch him play. My best guess is his whole life he dominated with his size and talent prior to the NHL. When what worked for him his whole life didn't work for him in the NHL, I think it got to him mentally and killed his confidence. I am hopeful that he has matured and understands this is his last shot with the Rangers, and just goes out and plays. Be aggressive, shoot the puck whenever you can (he has a good shot), and drive to the net. If he plays with confidence and an edge, I think we'll see different results, as I truly believe the underlying talent is there with Kakko.

    As for the organization overall, hard to argue they aren't a poorly run organization when it comes to building a team and actually winning. Dolan is a terrible owner, and Drury is in over his head as Pres/GM. My hopes aren't really high this season given they are worse now than when the season ended, and they weren't good enough to win before. The only shot is kids like Kakko, Othmann, Cuylle, and Jones really take big steps forward and surprise, then maybe they can be a legit contender. When you have one SC since 1940, you are not a well-run organization IMO.

    Spare me Porter you’re not man enough to admit you’re a fucking retard and you’re talking out of your ass. Why don’t you just look at the facts and admit you’re wrong. When you do that, then you can act tough.

    It’s probably just for this game. Mancini will soon replace Trouba

    God, if we can only keep that kid healthy he’s the kind of guy that would make a difference verse of Florida because he can score from 30 feet out with his shot.

    Mancini looks like he was a steal where they drafted him.

    Looking at how many people are at this preseason game shows you that Boston realizes all their sports teams suck now other than the Celtics and the Bruins, who are no longer a cup contender

    Yeah, they wouldn't have made him an A already, I forgot they had to even have them in preseason.

    The only thing more pathetic than Kappo failing to score twice on an open net was Joe Mich blaming Chytil's bumpy pass. Othmann looks ready, has great visiion love how the Rangers prospects matched Boston's physical play.
