Point proven Chuck, you can't read. I said when their system gets figured out, neither of them could adjust or adapt. With Torts it was 100% defense and everyone should be willing to throw themselves in front of shots and be willing to get hurt and win games 1-0 or 2-1 with ugly goals. With AV it is the complete opposite. Try to outduel and out score teams (look at Vancouver not the Rangers) but don't crash the net and get gritty goals, spread them out and try to get pretty passing plays that eventually and hopefully lead to an open player scoring a goal. This team isn't built like that. We don't have A-the passers or B-the finishers for that. We are a team that has talent, but needs to crash the net, get gritty goals and win that way. AV just won't play that game and won't adjust to try it seems like.
The first thing that needs to change is Sather, Gorton's and Chucks dumb fuck mentality of trading picks and prospects for asshole go for it now trades. I said that is what the team did in the 80's and late 90's which caused this team to suck ass for almost 15 years. It is moronic. Hopefully, Chuck realizes he's stupid now with that and the team needs to rebuild a lot. It's over with this fucking core.
I don't mind losing as much if they scored goals Going back to the Torts years the coaches system and players have changed but the one constant other then Lundqvist is the team can't fucking score goals in playoffs especially at home. I'm fine blowing this shit up
We never suck enough to get a true game changer as when we do miss the playoffs we still just barely miss. We need to tank one season ala Pitt and get a high pick one year and build around that lol
It all goes back to re-signing Girardi. Wasted 6m that could've been allocated on a cheaper yet better dman and another good depth player.
Completely uncalled for. People put up with your crap for whatever reason but with a response like this I will repeat what I've told you before. If we were face to face you would be looking for your teeth on the ground right now. Your computer tough guy act is beyond old.
Edmontons got a bunch of young guys and they suck. You need a balance dump and this franchise can never get it right.
The team's handling of the roster and salary cap has been brought up before. If we wanted to reverse engineer some actions think of the fact that they could've found a way to keep Stralman instead of going the Boyle and then the Yandle route. Too many big money long term contract will always be an issue especially for players that aren't exactly world beaters. Not to mention how many times are we now seeing that you don't need an $8.5 million goalie to win? I love Hank and he has done great things but that salary is just a killer.
As has been said before, for $8.5 million, Hank should be winning these games by himself, and they should not have as many huge contracts on defense. The cap issue is still a Torts system. Focused heavily on defense and not offense. The NHL isn't like that anymore. You need offense now and this team has none.
Yep, Arneil is a friggin genius!!!!! There's no way we shouldn't try to can him!! In fact, we should give Arneil a raise!!!! It's totally the players and not coaches when this PK has gone from one of the best to the absolute worst.
This is just an ass kicking. Maybe i was wrong about wanting Pitt instead of Florida but the Rangers should be faring better.
Yup, if you give your goalie that much money you can't and shouldn't have that much money tied up in your defense.
