Fogarty will be solid once he gets out of that system, but at least he'll have the defensive responsibility thing down.
Can see Duclair up here also next year as the alternative is another year in juniors which does him no good. 2 things though if this happens. The kid needs to hit the weight room and put on about 10 lbs of muscle and the rangers need to have a winger that will stick up for him when the inevitable cheap shots come or have big mac on the ice on defense at the time. Just watched a bunch of videos on the kid and he not only is fast he actually appears to have a snipers shooting touch. Holy shit!! A young ranger that can put the puck in the net.
Agree. The Rangers swung for the fence on those 3, 3rd round picks. I'm pretty confident they hit a huge homerun on Duclair. About time.
Duclair with 2 G, 1 A up against Mantha last night, Red Wings best prospect. Mantha had 1 G. Tambellini with 1 G 1 A. He has 10 points in 7 games. Hopefully next season he comes back with 10 pounds more of muscle. Pack got bitch slapped as usual. Fast scored both goals. Lindberg with 2 A, Miller one.
Fast scored twice for the second game in a row. Miller 3 assists. McIlrath a goal, Lindberg an assist.
Pack won 5-2. Kristo has 2 G, 1 A Lindberg scored his 10th of the season. Fast had an assist. He now has 13 points in his last 14 games. He should be a nice player for the Rangers when he is ready.
Lindberg had 1 G 1 A yesterday. He's figured the AHL out now. Seems to be a guy, every time goes to a new league, struggles, then always figures it out and plays at a very high level. That is a good pattern to have.
Junior Update Rangers 2013 third-round pick Adam Tambellini continued his smooth transition into the Western Hockey League this week with a goal and one assist in two games for the Calgary Hitmen. The 19-year-old center now has four goals and nine assists for 13 points in 11 games since leaving the NCAA.
Lindberg has 18 points in his last 17 games. Have to wonder what his point totals would be if Fast had stayed healthy all season and Miller was there all season with him.
Boo Nieves has been so bad this year, I almost would suggest to him if I was the Rangers to go play in Sweden for a couple of years. Develop a brain for the game and see how the Swedes play. He's clearly not ready for the AHL. He has one goal in 24 games. He has sucked this season. One article on his crap season. http://michigan.rivals.com/content.asp?CID=1585992
The ability is certainly there with Nieves, but like Kreider in some ways, in these NCAA programs they become almost to unselfish and team oriented. I still see that in Kreider where he defers instead of using that great shot, but he's getting better that way.
Right on target 71. I love kreids but I'll be glad when he gets more of the kiss my ass stepan and nash your not as fast, can't keep up with me and I'm not waiting for u 2 any longer attitude. I noticed also the last couple of games him shooting more which he needs to do with his shot but still have some cringeworthy plays when he goes out of his way seemingly to get a pass to nash or stepan. I'm hoping AV is telling him what us fans used to yell at Beck Shoot the puck Kreids shoot the god damn puck.
Duclair had a quiet game last night. 1 A only. Tambellini was held pointless. Miller had a big game for the Pack. 2 g 2 A, now has 25 points in 21 AHL games. He's surely going to be a good NHL player. Lindberg and Fast with an assist.
Buchnevich is starting to really progress from what ive seen. He's probably the best offensive talent they have in system.
