Just keep on playing Igor. Quick good guy, washed up goalie. Team can't afford to give away games this season. Garand needs to be up by game 20.
Do you watch games with your eyes closed? Miller, as usual, made a low percentage pass with a high percentage of leading to an odd rush. Gustavsson is also a +4 and that stat is actually reflective that he’s playing well. Miller had a major fuck up last game.
The puck went over gustavson stick and right to pred player coming out of box. he must do whatever he can not to let puck get by him
Terrible night all around for this team. I’ll take it in stride as they’re four games into a new system. Even with that said I don’t know if I see much to be excited about.
Nothing will change unless they blow up the core of this team. Top vet players suck 5 on 5. This sack of shit Drury brings in more slow washed up players. He has no plan. He just does things any other shitty GM would do.
Amazing all other teams get their franchise players picking first and second and we get these two duds Kakko and Lafatrerrinier.
This is basically it, those 2 picks not being studs is the difference between decent Ranger teams and a championship level Ranger team. If they played up to where they were picked it would hide some of the other issues the team has.
It's taken me a long time to admit it but Kakko and Lafreniere are really looking like busts. Don't know if it was their fault or the Rangers idiotic way of not developing them. I agree with Stepan, the move to make which is dangerous with Shesterkin in his prime is to blow this team up somewhat and go in a different direction.
We will see how things move along but I’m not sure you can lose a winger like Vlad, replace him with a Wheeler and say you’re a better team. I think we all agreed that if the kids don’t take a major step that this team is in trouble. So far they’re coming off as a worse version of last year’s team. If Igor doesn’t save them they will be in trouble.
I’ll also still say the Rangers had their usual bad luck in those draft years. Other teams get their Crosby and Mcdavid. The Rangers got two wingers and I always thought they would be lucky if one panned out. The Devils got Hughes. Typical Ranger luck.
Lafreniere is a fn left wing. Yet, every dickhead we have here won't make a vet move to right wing. Not to mention put Lafreniere and Kakko on the first PP unit. Mind boggling. I've said it forever. All players, especially really young players get their offensive confidence playing a ton on the PP. Yet, every coach we have here sucks off the vets and puts the kids on the second PP unit. So doing a rebuild would be useless unless you get rid of Panarin for starters. To me, Panarin to Chicago makes sense. Bedard has squat to work with over there. Hawks have the cap space. Shouldn't be a problem if the Rangers eat about 30% of his contract. Just need the tool to accept a trade. They might want Kakko or Lafreniere instead. Any trade would be tricky. You have to get back NHL ready prospects or young players that are starting out and some picks. I like Reichel a lot of the Hawks. They have plenty of second round picks for years. So maybe Zac Jones and Panarin for Reichel and a second. They might want Lafreniere or Kakko with Jones for Reichel and a couple of second round picks. Either way, I doubt Drury is the guy to do it.
