Rangers' Mika Zibanejad Gets Called Out: 'DJing In Ibiza All Summer' (msn.com) Avery is a dickhead but in this case he's correct.
Saying the same shit over and over again...same dribble going back to imminent, Heineken and baranka all lifers that was supposedly gotten screwed over by the organization yet no team traded for them. These other #1 picks go to teams that had zero talent to begin with..you keep saying to sit vets..ok...you sit kreider during a 50 goal season because we have to breast feed a kid...yeah ok Or hey sit a guy who was a candidate for mvp in bread...to breast feed a kakko only because he was drafted #2. You don't sit proven players for maybes. Reason why the pp went downhill....how about Fox...you should be pointing at him
No, doing the same shit over and over again when it doesn’t fucking work is the reason why they haven’t won more than one cup in 85 years.
how is having a top 5 pp in the league a bad thing...oh..because you have to breast feed a kid...gotcha...so lets force feed kids so MAYBE in 2 or three years they become something based off what they did in juniors...and in the time being ...we will tell our vets who have put their time and dues in that hey...sit this one out..yeah i know you are having a franchise record kinda season on teh PP...forget that you are a top 5 MVP candidate..we have this kid who deserves PP time because he cant develop UNLESS he is playing against one less player on the ice. Yep totally makes sense to me. Again....the PP could improve in the playoffs if Adam Fox was 100% healthy, which he was not, and for the most part hasnt been in 2 years now. But yeah keep on blaming the same whipping boys over and over.
I have to admit I am very puzzled about this conversation in general. Due to one person the discussion seems to be incessantly focused on not playing Lafreniere on PP1 = ruining his career which also = the Rangers have issues as a team due to Lafreniere not being on PP1. I can honestly tell you this is maybe the most pointless conversation I have seen in a very long time. If you want the reality, here it is: 1. Lafreniere should be on PP1 at this point, BUT the fact that he is not really is not a major issue for the team overall, and is not the cause of, or the solution to the issues the team has. 2. Mika is a huge problem for this team. The guy doesn't play a strong energy type game you need from your # 1 C, he refuses to shoot the puck (especially at even strength), and he has essentially become a PP specialist, that is all. Not only do you need more from your # 1 C, but he is also stealing money for what he has become. I do think Lav should be tougher on him, because without a top-level Mika the Rangers cannot win a Cup (even with him at top-level they are not Cup favorites). 3. The Rangers top issues are softness, D zone coverage/discipline, and play at even strength. None of those issues are solved by Lafreniere playing on PP1. Whether he does or not, and again I think he has earned the opportunity, is not going to solve the main issues this team has. That is why big picture it is really a pointless conversation focused on the wrong thing. That's the reality of the Rangers, and until those issues are solved the team will not win a Cup.
Could be the realization that preseason predictions of a Rangers crash and burn maybe squeak into the playoffs if they're lucky were ridiculous.
For years, we were bitching about how we never had any lottery luck then we finally fucking luck out and get the first and the second overall picks in the draft and we they them like role-players. Clueless turds.
