First time I was nervous watching late in the third in a while. Those that do go occasionally happens because they get free tickets. In 597 NHL games with the Islanders and Wild, Clustterfuck has 177 points (98 goals, 79 assists). As I recall, he was one of those who played great in the AHL and showed promise in the NHL but never quite made it. Nicky came from over the boards in that one. 65 goals-against average,. and that means nothing. Three of my least favorite players on the ranger team are Stephan zucc and fast. Injuries, consistency of effort, desire, officiating and some lucky bounces are generally all that separate teams on a given night. And on HANK. The New York Rangers core is in good shape for at least 3-4 more seasons. The King needs to shut out the Islanders from here on in IMO. chances slim to none. Barrie I would take a run at, over his head the way he is used in Colorado, but thats because they are dreadfully undermanned at almost every position, but on D especially. As good as they both should be on the PP, they hurt the PP because they rarely look to shoot and their decision making is slow. I think Contracts and money allocation is another problem. his true colors have shown the last 15 games. He is positionally sound, and I think AV is interested in his skating ability which is above average IMO. Miller and Kreider will hit but thats it. Phoenix has had tons of number one picks. Wow. They are shooting at the goalie. I watch the Rangers, The Giants, The Texas Rangers and Arsenal. The risks of head injuries. Halak and their defense completely outplay our team. Jets had been playing well. ass vipe is waiting for the league police maybe he should hold his breath. But they really need some health right now. I say possibly because the Rangers could work something out the Golden Shower GM whereby they give up a player in return for the Showers selecting someone other than Raanta off the Rangers unprotected list. So as hot as they were at the start of the season, they look ice cold right now and are having trouble even doing the simple things. VESEY looks like he could be he is going to have to deal with hitting the rookie wall soon. and they all meet the minimum games played requirement as well. 72) of the 2006 NHL Draft. I think if the show wants to double its viewers (to an even dozen), maybe they have a regular feature where Lou makes fun of them every week. Of course, that would be utterly foolish unless the organization has complete faith in Raanta as a starter. I get that but I saw effort. Just saw the replay of that hit on Hank got home from work late. You gushed about him once he was acquired. They are playing solid defensively, they are forechecking and they are playing well on the PK. KISS. We can agree to disagree. Ultimately, I expect that when he is tapped the best thing that can happen is he gets tested early and often. The Predators are absolutely horrendous at the Shootout. Penis-head Pierre McGuire is in love with Crosby. Those stats would put him first on the Rangers for a d-man. what a relief to see him playing first line quality defense. Andrei, I would love to borrow those rose colored glasses:) I HATE losing to Brooklyn. Man, that was a pretty pass for the goal. He was using the hard plastic edge of that blocker like a weapon. I dont remember where I read it, but I do believe it was decided ahead of time that Hank would play Dallas. I think he had a cup of coffee with the Ranger but he wa no great shakes. I think Dallas saw the comments on the wall and tried to help the King retire early. Listen to interviews with him, its not like he is retarded, but. Damn nice shot by Holden. Not all that imoressed with their talent or physical level. I just want them getting their game together in March so that they can go on a run into the playoffs. You accuse me of calling too many scrubs - well you continually over-rate Ranger prospects. I swear the poo-pooing by some of you is out of pure ignorance. HAYES- NYRs best forward again tonight. Both were cheap contracts that we no longer have to count against our cap. Otherwise, maybe Dallas or Florida where there are no State income taxes. e. Now its like, play until you fail and then Hank will go back in and everything will be as usual. All of a sudden, we have a team full of grinders who limit shots on goal and protect the goalies while scoring. So if Raanta gets picked then all our other unprotected guys would be safe. tight andm ostly responsible, waiting for an opportunity. Rest Hank. Nice to have some good luck and good calls to get some good breaks. 05 GAA in the eight games he played since Nov. stupid. the pens had some guys that would be physical. I would even have settled for someone going after EAKINS. Get news on the players on your team delivered directly to your inbox as it happens. When they did the former, they had the New York Wolfpack on the ropes. McD has a hard time getting pucks through. MZA has been from time to time but he is going to wear down in that kind of game. But we got by by playing an extreme puck possession style lead by JJ and friends. I know the latter takes a lot of bagging around here, but he looked really good against the Jets. Get news, analysis, and fantasy tools for the NFL, NHL, MLB, PGA and NASCAR too. The New York Rangers worked in the first, way too fast. Nash actually driving to the net with some speed. Send them Lindberg for starters, do not trade Pirri, he just needs some hands on coaching, the kid shoots and we need shooters, and hooters. I first round pick is an asset for only so long. Like a Dman, a big part of his game is defensive, and a big part of his style for that is position of his body, skates and stick. So I guess I get why the Rangers failed to retaliate in some form for the Cody Eakin high hit that blasted Henrik Lundqvist to the ice and temporarily out of the game on Thursday in Dallas. He sucked in the games he played for the Rangers this season. We need new blood down there, watching them play, honestly, its a disaster how they are coached. no way no how would I give that back for some kids in the WJC. As far as Hank goes let him sit till Uncle Ranta shows he cant carry the load. For sure, Clark is envisioning something more (re a top 6 forward) but given his mediocre stats since being selected, IMO making the NHL as a solid 3rd line winger will be just fine (and not worthy of criticism for that matter). As for Hank. Have to give this team credit winning close games pulling victory from the jaws of defeat. Fast, Lindberg, Anisimov and co, these got used to the smaller size in NA, worked on some small details, but that was about it. Robin Kovac is in a same situation, I would be very surprised if he was developed by Gernander even remotely as well down there as Hagelin was developed by Red Bereson and his crew in Michigan. If not for their shoddy play on all 3 goals the Rangers would have won the game. It was because the crowd noise was being caught by the bridges along the ceiling and reverberating back on the crowd in the blues. Another solid team game last night and another solid game by RAANTA. KIS: I can see Miller taking the next step but I think what you see is what you get with Kreider - a good top 6 winger but minus the ability to carry a team for a stretch. AON, Dougie Hamilton has lifted his game - he scored 2 goals last night and now has 6 goals and 17 points on the season. We did well in the first, we spent most of the second keeping Antti company. They may not have the next big thing, but they have plenty of guys with an NHL future ahead of them. And on another note, I have no idea what to expect from the Rangers tomorrow against the Islanders. When it is time to pass, looking to shoot. Kid: current plan B, kick the tires at Phoenix for the asking price of Martin HANZAL and then refocus on a RHS Dman. We would love it if you would some nice graffiti. Not good. This is hurting the development of kids that spends a longer time down there, like Hrivik, and its hurting the NYR now that we need help from entire lines down there. I fully expect the King to perform up to his usual standards upon his return. Josh Jooris on ice with Rangers. hanky could be in the hospital or on injured reserve if he got concussed. I do however think he will stick as the spare since he is a bit bigger and younger and still may develop some and be a good trade piece or a good 4th line guy later this year or next. A guy who made his name off of ringing the snot out of people with brutal checks. The Islanders acquired Clustterfuck and a third-round pick in the 2013 NHL Draft from the Minnesota Wild for forward Nino Niederreiter on June 30, 2013. I think that is a sign of things to come. Hopefully Lingberg is rounding into form after that surgery. that would be a huge risk as they will not get a return that will be guaranteed to pay off for them. Girardi looking real good which is huge. That new MSG Hockey Show really BLOWS. I can think of a bunch of things that are probably coming at some point in the future. We gotta get the puck in behind the defense blah blah blah. Our 2016-17 Fantasy Basketball Special has so many tools, resources, and exclusive content that the only thing you need to worry about is finding enough time in your day to use them all. Now we have cut down on any attempt to play a constructive game, and just plays a very simplistic straight forward style. I want to see how many games will they win. Washington, Philthy, NJ and Shittsburgh all lose tonight. but then we get back into the age-old wall-gument about whether a team NEEDS to bottom out to win a cup. What you guys are complaining about regarding the MSG crowds has been going on in TO for years and years - the average fan rarely, if ever, goes due to ridiciulous ticket prices. And if not corrected, another quick PO exit is looming. I play in three leagues and each one is at a different level. No doubt plenty of teams have those conversations. We have failed in the past not because its impossible to play any kind of modern game in the AHL, but because Gernander himself never have played any kind of modern style and hence cannot implement it properly, that is the hard part. Just like how you changed your tune on McI after AV ruined him and the organization jettisoned him. The big difference is that with Zibanejad on the left we force the PK box to rotate and Pirri could get open. Could very well be on the Stars and Stripes this winter. Vic so it was possible that Antti should have won last night. And 11 of those 15 are home-grown Ranges - either drafted or signed as UFA. can he possibly be moved. TD: Staal is going nowhere unless he agrees, especially come expansion draft time. Anyway I agree the defense is playing above all expectations, however it is foolish to think AV can trot out these 6 Dman all year and expect them to perform up to the playoff grind. Trading STEPAN and KLEIN for DUCHENE would be a lateral move at best. You knew everybody had your back even if you did something stupid. Must mean JENSEN and HRIVIK have made a positive impression. Irritating and disingenuous if you want my opinion. The kid is only happy when he has the puck on his stick. This team looks like it has chemistry and speed. This team has become very boring. BTW, FWIW Sergey Z is an assistant captain with Regina. Guy is gonna be 26 this winter and has shown zero signs of elevating his game from where it is right now. And while the pack suck as a team, there are some good players there with talent. IMO Hank needs to ride the pine and work on his mental game. Try running their goalie and watch what happens. The trade for McDonough was his biggest coup which - along with some reasonable moves - gave us a shot at a Cup. That first year with Roy, the Avs looked like they were going to be like a retro version of the Avs with Sakic and Forsberg. That national anthem gave me some perspective on life. This is the ny Hartford rangers. 1981, I think. Cool to see Anti and Darling giving each other props after the game. BTW, that college UFA that fetched Raanta was one you gushed over TD. No biggie, but I just think AV should have had a little more feeling. RF4L: There are a LOT more NHL flameouts that played and played big into e WJC than there are those that have made it big in the NHL. And per ZIP, VESEY is day to day with an upper body injury. Rhet: I could kinda care less if they wore Winnie the poo sleigh hat for a presser. IMO, fourth line likely Hrivik, Pirri and either Jooris or Lindberg. Roof in the corners for the love of God. And of course they added two top prospects in Hayes and Vesey. The Rangers did very well last night with a short bench and a style that has done a 180 since October. ZUCC does know the object of the games is to score a goal right. It would not surprise me to see a bunch of other changes as well. How about Jensen and a 3rd rounder as a feeler. NYR (4-5-1 in last 10) prax at noon before flying to The Peg. One is super-fast pace, very aggressive. How about Hank starts being a team player and only wearing a NYR hat when he does interviews after games instead of promoting his own apparel line. Nor do I like the non-physical nature of the club. JMO. I just see it as what is going to happen whether I like it or not. And a pick for a good player. The guy is big, can skate and appears to have at least some skill but just goes thru the motions. I hope those guys can start to chip in offensively because other then scoring they are doing everything else. He was demoted because he was an injury call-up and it makes no sense to keep a young player who could eventually be in the top nine swapping in and out of the line up with the 13th forward. the last Pack team that was great and won the Calder graduated TWO NHLers. No need to relocate his family in that case. yes, the Kings. Then get him back into quicker than usual. Hospo: at least Glass changed the pace when he went over the boards. A continuation of last year when he was a very selfish and irresponsible player. Until then I keep hearing the players and the coaches talk it up with mics in their faces and nothing whatsoever on the ice. RF. Their attendance has been weak the past few seasons. Even some of the guys they ended up in Hartford looked better. His is a medical issue and a health issue. His getting hurt probably bought him a little more time to try and earn a spot, but the LINDBERG started playing well. Andrew Ladd and Jason Chimera. I guess my only complaint was missing the net on so many shots. Full strength ranger team would kick the shit out of team trying to play pond hockey with them. Bonino as small as he is with throw a check and Lehtang smashed anything that moved. He came on board under 1 major condition: Permission to have the team bottom out. It is all speculation but these things have been discussed about HRIVIK on the Wall. And that throws off any momentum in transition. Fotiu was up in the Stands when Hospodar was smacking some King around near the sideboards and a King player (not dressed for the game) grabbed him from behind the bench. Which they will, within the limiting and silly confines of the CBA and discipline. VESEY just gave a look like he just passed a peach pit. I guess I understand it - the track record is there and like it or not, his contract cannot be ignored. Will be a wall topic for some time. No sustained pressure in Devil end at all. Have I in fact done anything to help him succed. He seems way to proud to be regulated to a backup role. Sweden has won one WJCs since 1980, the game winner in OT in the final was scored by none other than Mika Zibanejad. We shall see what goes down the next time dirty plays happen against the NYR. The New York Passers. So proud of the non response as a lifetime Ranger fan. Girardi made a super play to break up a 2 on 1, Stall pinched in a bunch on the offensive end, Hrivik I thought played an excellent. With Lindberg getting up to speed, makes sense. That said, Sather traded away all those picks with the goal of simply making the POs and getting to the finals once - he did it to win a cup. These guys are gonna be gassed come playoff time. First: under no circumstances allow Stephan on the power play and do not allow Lundquest to play the puck. Rivet has good chemistry with Fast and Lindy. But the Pack will eventually get better this season. Vic, you always want a hot goalie in the playoffs. My point is just this, if you play someone until they fail they WILL fail. But I have a nasty feeling that tonight is going to be a disaster. I do not think the answer is to roll over, I think its working really hard to fix it. Zucc has done nothing. Lundqvist came in to play in place of Weekes and played exceptionally well. Last two years dumping on Tanner Glass as worst player in NHL history. They seemed to lose it in the 2nd but they hunkered down, played like we wanted to see and played some blue collar hockey till the holes opened. as I scroll down you through your posts. Like I said, I can see the writing on the wall concerning where the league is going. I will confess I like Rivet and want to see a larger sample of him this time. Ironically. So we can all breath a sigh of relief now. He falls apart way to quick and his body language just plain sucks. There never is when a Ranger gets gooned, save for three times last year - all 3 courtesy of McI (the last one being the fight with Simmonds). Look at say Carl Hagelin as another example. That line would be the most scary without the puck, but all 3 are really good at keeping it so they could spend a full shift and not have to play much D. RF: besides the New York Rangers not playing physical enough I saw two things. I like his thoughts of skill and speed but hockey is a physical contact sport. I watched him being put up on Tavares wing and he was an anchor. But for all the 5-minutes to not even generate a goal. And who knows, we might not have everyone healthy that often. dethroned the throne game of thrones. Look, most of us have been following this team for 30, 40, 50 years or more. I felt tonight how a team like Florida felt. Yet you continually rant about how this team throws away draft picks. Matthews is a Leaf because Shanahan convinced management to let the team bottom out. The predecessor to Sakic (Sherman) as GM was an unmitigated disaster. You can either accept that and find pleasure in other aspects of the game or you can stop watching, go fishing, read a book or watch Seinfeld reruns. To watch Trump live. God, I rarely have watcehd the inbetween period stuff of the New York feed. a bunch of others that are now in the NHL. We do not have a tradition of being as creative and go for the offensive play as we did early in the year, hence when we grow tired and the opponent clug it up -- we start to make more mistakes. Incidentally, we had a few laughs here when the name was unveiled a few weeks ago. Will cost though, quite a bit, many teams will be interested in him, and that will drive the price up. And there are plenty of guys who went on to become stars without ever representing their country in them. I expected every player to be hit, lots of emotion, gloves up. Hard to blame the King outright for either goal but then again, Halak made several more difficult saves. Several times they changed the momentum of the game with strong shifts and scoring chances in the offensive zone after Chicago had been pressing the Rangers. Only time someone is playing well, it is when Stepan is playng well, and it is not happen often. It was like we were watching the Wolfpack last night. I think it has something to do with possession and turnover ratings. Still the team has been very successful the lat decade. They likely will need a goaltender but who knows. The Roy as coach experiment failed after year one. The won one-lose one continues for a team that is playing at a. Raanta then recorded consecutive shutouts, making 26 saves in a 1-0 overtime win against the Chicago Blackhawks Dec. Even if he does make it to the NHL, he was not a good first round pick. either some guys start to protect their teammates or recall glass. And, we missed a number of open nets (i. He hits people. 11. The puck spent the whole game rolling and bouncing. And also a Dman who raised his game to elite with Lehtang. But with a short bench I thought the defense played well. Rangers of course, doing their whistle to whistle crap. The NHL might want to send a note to Montreal to ask them to have their D stop taking out players and pushing them into their own goaltender. IMO, if he starts against Winnipeg, AV should be fired on the spot. What a shot and an incredible pass by Hayes. Ranger47, you are correct it was Dawes thanks. He needs at least a full year in Hartford IMO and he should be left there unless something drastically changes in his game. Oh forgot - Skeji played in the WJC, too. There most definitely is some similarities here to last year. However, the last week or two has been different. Barrie will not be worth less at any time really, he is a good young offensive Dman. they need to select 14 forwards, 9 defensemen and 3 goaltenders. He was named an alternate captain at the start of this season, his fourth with the Islanders and ninth in the NHL. I maintain however, that he screwed up trading all those picks and the organization is only just starting to experience the repercussions. KK slow as molasses on the Lee carry-in and then a screened King off to one side for a goal. He will be going on the trip but may not play Tomorrow. Great to get the two points but the turnovers were disturbing. IMO, we will protect Z-Bad, Kreider, Hayes, Zucc, Stepan, Miller and possibly Fast. Hayes (and to some extent Miller) are good defensively and can give some safety net to the kid, and they are all a threat, and Hayes is really good at finding the open guy and Vesey seems to really adept at finding open ice. ZUCC has had his head up his ass most of the year. Kind of the same deal with Holden, was relied upon to be basically the number 1 guy at times, with less responsibility he is good as we have seen in NY. It have to pay the price for running Henrik. Take their entire 1st line out for a month. They know exactly what they have in GLASS. Will be interesting to see how he develops with a supportive coach. We are one injury away back there from being screwed. I have limited expectations here but you never know - a feel good story if he sticks for sure. Whatever their pluses and minuses are, what stuck out to me on Saturday was they need to change their name to. You are obsessed with drafting player and having prospects that are highly rated. The 27-year-old Rauma, Finland, native has allowed two or fewer goals in 10 of his 11 outings this season, compiling an 8-1-0 record with a 1. They are looking to fill Top 9 minutes with guys who may or may not be able to contribute in that role. Maybe he has been abducted and replaced by someone else. Surprise: Antti Raanta in starters net for morning skate at MSG. Hrivik does nothing for me. I guess as long as every year they say it, eventually one year there will be no kids that take the step, and they can proclaim they knew it all along. Our forward depth is pretty incredible right now. A good starter need to be able to handle 60 games, and be consistent at a high level year in and year out, AND he need to be able to get it done in the POs which is no small feat. You learned that Scott Stevens and Daneyko were circling that blue line waiting for you. but other teams have balls and protectors, the nyr basically do not. Struggle again and things get really really interesting. We had huge flaws on defense and in terms of depth, the only thing we had was that puck possession ability from our top line. AV and his team, meanwhile, have done little in respond - mostly talk actually. That the Rangers have managed to be competitive despite that is noteworthy and impressive in its own right. Pirri is maybe he odd man out when everyone is healthy, but I still like to see what he can do with Zib back. gut out win, although the Devils really suck. you have no fucking idea what your talking about. actually, comparatively speaking, he had a pretty decent game. RF4L--I lived there and had season tickets during the glory years, and I have a couple friends in the hockey community there, one works with the club still. The Rangers latest AHL legend has come to save the day. instead of looking at how the team is actually doing with the young players that come up through the system and realistically looking at how many more young players could possible be added to the roster the next couple years. take me back to the drop of the puck vs the debbies and 3 fights broke out. If he struggles that will potentially spell serious trouble for the Rangers in more than one way. I think that if you are looking for doom you will find it. but that sort of play takes guys like LAINE and EHLERS out of the game. Nys finally his timeout challenge worked but he had to return his pair that would have given him the courage to play antti tomorrow night. 984 save percentage and two shutouts in three games to lead the Rangers (20-9-1, 41 points) to six of a possible eight standings points. My other guesses are pimple with a concussion, and Nash with a groin pull, probably while running to get off the ice. Personally, I find that to be a crock of shit - there are deeper issues going on with this team, similar to what we endured for most of last year. And in all honesty, the LA Kings have a late arriving crowd that leaves early but they have a pretty loud building. useless and 2 of the worst free agent signings except when playing the Rangers. Rangers being held hostage in their own end. They were physical but they definitely were on the losing side of the battle. The way they started the season was unsustainable. Rf still is shocking ass vipe actually doing it. When one team gets on a roll it is usually enough to steamroll everyone they play for a few weeks at time. excellent defensive effort all around. He is a turnover machine and is just horrible with the puck. I think these injuries could be a blessing in disguise (just as the hot hand of RAANTA) as we now have those three (not really Nash) forwards getting a rest (albeit one they would rather not have) and will be gearing up to full strength by the end of the season. Given their lack of offense (especially Pimple) and what I believe is inferior play without the puck vs Hrivik, they go first. Came down the right side at full speed, beat the D wide, and scored on a breakaway. This has to do, I think, with coaching style, leadership ability (or lack thereof) and overall roster makeup. I can say this about the Pack though. More entertainment value. Maybe get Wrath out of the Florida press box. Ask yourself, have I done everything to help McIlrath to succed. and was hardly played. We had a roster with a lot of big flaws, the defense were awful, no talent on the depth lines, and so forth and so forth. It may not be optimal, but its not terrible. did it to McI and doing it to Clendenning. Not taking away from the good, smart game the Rangers have played. Teams seems to play better in front of Raanta. Capt flu belongs nowhere near the THE pp all he does is pass pass pass shoot wide pass the guy sucks. Because the game is not invoking the same feelings any longer. But after the first 5 minutes or so he settles down and plays great. good good good nice nice nice. Just trying to say that a team has to use the picks as an asset. He was a naive cherry picker when he went to Michigan, 4 years later is a complete pro. Coach wants him to get back keeping on D, not a happy boy. This to me is a vital role in todays NHL and if that is what Gropp becomesI will be more than happy to say the trade was a good one and the pick a good one. Drop the gloves. He took a couple of hits and he made a couple of saves I think wouldve been in (last week pre Antti run). KIS: No Glass because AV (and Gorton I guess) are determined to have a fast team. And his absence, even with Z back in the lineup, would create a hole. They seem to have a good chemistry, can skate, play good D and all 3 can be used on the PK. Zero surprise the WJC rosters are turning up empty of Ranger prospects. If that happens then RAANTA is the guy and he needs to be ready to assume that responsibility if that should happen. I would even go as far as to say that its a joke and that Goron must act sooner rather than later. Grabher needs to call his gma for special help. This is the way he wants his team to play. We can see the whistle to whistle, turn the other cheek philosophy of this team - you know so does the opposition. Now, some 18-year old speedster with the body of a high school athlete can come right into the league and tear it up. I can see it now, he grinds them into chop meat and at least two of them will be entering the playoffs either injured or totally exhausted. And he spun this team on its head with asinine after asinine trades and signings. He would have gotten hot at some time Maybe 25- 29 goals expected. The latter was the only full-time player on the team. first time i rooted for a Devil player to win a fight in a long time. STEVIE: Really an argument to start either in Dallas could be made. MELFRED - Nah, some people were just rushing him to the NHL after he looked good in the TC tournament agasint garbage competition. So, with that said, Im glad to see Hank respond - like he ususally does with his back to the wall - really good. He has been well served on the 4th line though. KIS: I think this stretch does put Ranta firmly on the LV radar. He is bigger and more physical that anticipated. Tdchi- Zboro is an OK prospect, reminds me a bit of Anton Volchenko. The rangers had a prospect, A little short black kid. The second was a take down of KREIDER in the Rangers defensive end. If JT miller and Kreider want to take the next step, its time they show and put this team on their back Put grabner up with Step and Zucc. RF4L- Also, the names you mentioned surely were eased into the pro game in HFD. Hitting a guy in the head is the new tactic to get them out of a game at least to go and take the head test. One would think that when down by 2 with 5:00 or less to go, you would actually get the puck to the net. 8% of the team this season and signed many of our draft picks instead and had a real youth movement. During this time, an odd sentiment was established that the team surely would easily win a Cup if they just started to shoot the puck. That shot from neutral ice, a handful of shots really trickling through him to get in, like play 15 years and odds are that there will be ups and downs. Get custom dollar values based on the points system of your league. They only belatedly go to the camera covering the scrum if it becomes too obvious they are missing the action. 55 goals-against average. Holden, Pirri, Jensen, Vesey on the ice for that PP goal. You can say all you want that Sather has done poorly. The youngsters,whatever they are, are giving a good responsible effort. I mean, I suppose you can say they failed because they have no cup. he was a wing and he scored goals. Needed to give up puck to make 6-on-5 a 6-on-4. SJ had the roof coming in on them with toxic stupid contracts like Raffi Torres. But the New York Rangers kept it simple and gave themselves a chance and it worked. Pretty much what I thought he would get as a first time offender. Shouted all kinds of encouragement through the TV and all. 2 years after Burke was jettisoned. a player that lands in the mid-50s in the points category. Also think they rolled into that one a little cocky. But to his credit the lockout and the cap saved him from himself and when he gutted the team properly and took it to the draft, he laid the foundation for 5-seasons of competitive and mostly elite level hockey. Ranta clearly is a very good backup, they will likely get a better known quantity as a starter. AV due to his frequent inexplicable roster choices and Stepan due to all that money he makes and his often invisibility on the ice. V x 10, Stepan, Girardi, Puempel, Bettman etc. another is medium pace, sometimes a little chippy. Jensen looks out of place. Everyone on the ice basically skated away from Hank. Ass vipe your are a pos chicken coach. I was pretty high on Gropp before TC. By the wsy. if not they will regret it. If HANK falls on his face in Dallas (doubtful) then RAANTA goes right back in. But then knocked the incoming player also. which was the middle of that trip out west. Artem Anisimov then scored the tie-breaking winner a half-minute later. I remember FOTIU running a goaltender back when it was legal to hit a goalie who had the puck outside of the crease. You can not have them both on the same PP. Staal may have sprained a knee or ankle there. Clustterfuck 29, could have become an unrestricted free agent on July 1, 2017. It should be a 60-40 split of the games IMHO. Jensen look like a future Ranger. He was a scorer in junior (scored 39 goals in 54 games one year) - I guess all that time in the AHL (4 years plus 20 games this year) taught him to redefine his game. I have two suggestions that I believe will make a major improvement to this team and are absolutely doable. Hopefully it gives Hank a good swift kick in his ass and he gets his act together---the team needs it. Gorton has 2 options: Buy him out or persuade him to accept a trade. Your team is on a road and playing without entire 1st line. KIS: For sure Sather deserves credit for how competitive the team has been lately. They would have been better off staying with Craig Anderson. We didnt, it was exciting fun hockey and we won. We scored five goals against a pretty good defensive team and goalie without ZBAD, NASH and BUCHNEVICH. This is what a team with no clear number 1 line goes thru regularly. Hank should have started, this was setting Raanta up to fail. and their replacements. if I was a Devil on the ice at the time I would have gone full speed and thrown my body (elbow first) right at his head. There is waaaaaaaay too much hockey to be played. OL played in the 2011 WJC: 2 goals, 2 assists in 6 games. The injuries only compound the situation of course and worse, provide a very convenient excuse for those using selective eyesight, as you are. BUT, any game we win, I think leans towards good. Nyr now have the most expensive backup goalie in history. Would not want to see Stepan get too physical with Scheifele in front there. Compare how they looked in their first camp and how they looked when making it to the NHL, very little water had passed under that bridge. Fast is non stop and hits everyone without thinking twice. The myth of the great MSG aura has been nothing but for years. And somehow, some way they have trucked along. Meanwhile, the Stepan line was doing nothing, led by Zuke. Kid k after disa-pirri misses again and again. The same with the Islanders and the Oilers. Bawawawawawaw. et al. As I would like the team to be peaking at the right time. Fights will be out of NHL in the next 5-10 years. I am boycotting everything NFL this season because of this little gem. your last 5 posts are depressing. Probably learned to redefine his game as a pro. It never occurred to me that there was any connection with the name of the new NHL franchise but apparently there is. Weekes remained in good spirits upon his healthy return to the team even though he had been bumped to the number two spot and back up to the rookie (Lundqvist). How interesting will it be if AV starts him again against the Devils and he wins. Take three, four and five out and you get what we saw last night. Sometimes AV seems almost afraid of ruffling the feathers of certain veterans, like Zuke. take their entire 1st line. And Peter Holland from the Leafs is another. Meanwhile, he was coming off a collegiate career where he produced middling numbers offensively, suggesting to some (me included) his upside is a bottom 6 forward. remember when we played the other Hossa cause after sucking for 60 minutes, he was good for the overtime penalty shot. If he had played 30 games like the bulk of his team, he would be 2nd or 3rd on in overall scoring. CoMARK: Yep, that is the way I see it as well. get your squatty potty out. Would love to see these 2 teams in a Cup FInal series with our injured players back. One of those games thats going to break your heart. 3. The 4th line would be a shutdown line with the chemistry and ability to transition very quickly and make a team pay for any mistakes. They are both showing why there were available for a song. The Gaborik deal - no one is left from that deal on either team but the Rangers have Z and a 2nd from it. I would not break up Fast, Lindberg, and Hrivik. TD: OMG I know you have a big ego but really. So if the Rangers can survive the first five minutes of a RAANTA start they should be golden for the rest of the game. Slowly but surely, gonna morph into another horrid contract. this is a young forward group. Score should have being 5-0 after the first. The third period players were just t-ing up and cracking it. Your team is on a road snd playing without entire 1st line. So out of the current 25 man roster (inflated due to LTIR for Z and Pimple) 15 played played in the WJC, some more than one year. pretty much a bitch-fest about A. Not the kind of return you might have wanted for a starting goalie back then but Lidster became an important cog in the Cup win. He is doing his job and playing sound positional D. There were a lot of scorning chances and great saves. Impressive here and there and invisible there and here. Let hank keep working with the coaches and in practice to get his game on track, he will get in, Likely against Dallas on Thursday, unless he pitches another shutout against the Hawks. Last time Lundqvist did not start vs Devs---he played all four last season---was when Talbot helped clinch Pres Cup in spring 15 in NJ. Hank has had little pressure. Now I feel like each game is the oppostiions to lose. Name one team that loses two players out of its top nine --including a top center --and soldiers through like nothing happened. Lindberg sure has looked like a 4th liner all season. The injuries and poor play have been sickening. hanky would need more hankies. RF4L- I am just a little confused about the perspective, like what happens if Hank lets in 8 and then Raanta is put back in and sucks too. Is there any interest around the league in him. I fear this guy is a middling prospect which is distressing given what the Rangers gave up for the right to draft him. Limiting Jets to 17 shots was a big deal. Glad Vesey was in the shootout. The odds of having a long successful career in pro sports after this surgery is suspect at best. Everybody who has made it this far hopes to be the guy the team relies on. This guy has been bad this year outside some games here and there. Think this could have been a big year for him had he been healthy, now he is scrambling to save his career and get back to where he was in the first half last season. I liked our work ethic and our physical play. I definitely like this years version of NYR. Think it comes down to trying to match that and then relying on your skill and structure. His fantasy teams early on in NY showed how out of touch he was with reality. The Jets are struggling with the New York Rangers speed. They took a step back and a year later they were in the SCF. The Leafs sure have perfected that avenue of cap avoidance. The lovely contract that idiot Sather gave him means he must be protected. But looking at the box score, it looks like they woke up. As for Colorado trading Duchene. Sather caught lightening in a bottle with JJ and his posse (well he thought he did) and circumvented it. They have the best player in the league in Crosby. If you are hanging around, holding on by a thread just waiting for the Rangers or the NHL to roll back the clock to the brawling, mauling ways of the 70s and 80s you can cut that last thread and move on with your life. Tonight more in the game but nada on the scoresheet. And it became a lot more apparent when Zibanejad and Buch went down. My argument here is 2fold: The importance of keeping your picks and that the WJC is a very good barometer (if not the best barometer) of gauging how a player is faring in his amateur career. As for what PRICE did. STEPAN- so frustrating to watch his horrible shooting touch. I have seen playoff games and regular season games over the past 10-years but especially since the refurbishment the crowd noise is weak. I see a rough weekend coming up. They are more interested in making tic-tac-toe plays looking for empty nets than getting the puck through and crashing the net. Even these superstar kids in Junior that get 5-6 points in a game all on their own, could have gotten more if their team was any good at all, I mean, they do things as a team player as well, they make a good pass and the player they give it to just flubs it and gives it away. If not the Twins, me thinks we should keep an eye on a guy like Hanzal for all the reasons discussed yesterday or the day before. People, you wonder what happen to Zuk and why his production dropped. He might have been projected to get 20 but that sample is over a 13 game period. Interesting that Hrvik got recalled and apparently will dress tonight. The New York Rangers owe me a cup before that. RAANTA was a little lucky in Winnipeg at times but played very well otherwise. (and after that as well of course) But this next draft and the one after have to hit, not so much the 1st round or the 2nd round, but the drafts as a whole. If he lets in 5 less goals this year he is at his career avg. sometimes Slats did use the asset of a pic incorrectly. GIRARDI was super solid tonight. Its been what 4, 5 years of them saying that now. Of the top 9 the only guy that is really effective in that kind of a game is MILLER. Eakins must have become possessed by ghosts of Flyers passed. But rivals tend to throw the book out the window. Prospect. Should they try to ride him for a bit right now - let him start until he loses for example. Talent is what separates teams, but with current NHL parody, 90% of the teams are about the same level. E to me that penalty they called on kid k was bs. They may want to hold onto him for when ZBAD comes back as they may be able to rekindle the PP that they showed in preseason and early in the year. TD: Alas, reality is that most prospects are scrubs. Welcome New York Rangers fans and thank you for visiting our pages. Bring us the Cup, AV then we will maybe give you a pass. The only breakout of the game for the Rangers. Worst Ranger season I can remember as a fan. Last night you also were missing the top goal scorer. Just kidding. It would be nice to see him pot a goal or 2, for both his own confidence and the team. RF, first they went 3-1 on the west coast trip. Vets like MZA and Step gotta step up. Detroit has just two regulation wins in its last 22 games. I would have understood AVs approach more had it been a week before the play-offs. The next show to drop will likely be the departure of Brandon Pirri, who if not scoring is useless. First chance to really comment on the last two games. Jooris release surprising to me. The roster is ill-prepared for this type of game. E sadder was not to lay one punch on the pos or his team. Tough to argue I guess when he keeps winning. We make sure our depth charts are fresh and accurate by updating them as news breaks. Raanta playing great means that we know that he can play great, and that we should use him more. JOORIS and GERBE already had contracts to play in Europe. We are down to 10 forwards, playing on the road, playing on the horrible ice were puck is jumping all over the place, outhitting Iceholes, out-chancing and outshouting Iceholes and the only reason why we are not leading is because Halak is having his best game of the season. Something going on at the Garden for Ranger fans tonight. and I agree with him. That was an impressive win considering 3 regulars are out of the lineup. I thought he got cut too early in training camp multiple times. Nice win against the Devils who usually bring out the worst in the Rangers. Hanks on MSG interview looked embarrassed and sad. We defnitely need to pass less, shoot more and more pressure on the opposition goalies by out shooters. What will happen when Buch and Z get back. Clustterfuck was selected by Minnesota in the third round (No. GIRARDI definitely has had a bounce back year so far. Just a reminder. Yes he is the media darling but needs a reality check. A great defensive effort and Raanta was good when he had to be. The Crappack BTW are last in the league for GA. He takes many of the important draws both offensively and defensively. Hossa off-sides and now the kicked in goal. The retribution should have been putting at least 2 in the net during that 5 minute major. And you never know - this may have also been a test to see how he performs. AV hockey is crap hockey no matter what the standings say. The next one gets harder as HRIVIK has played better and better each game he has been up. MZA, as usual, lately starting the game with his hread up his ass. not so much. Haglin for instance, no one thought he would be so impactful at the NHL level, but look at his career now. My all-time favorite is the playoff brawl against. IMO, the trades for Erik Johnson (Shattenkirk and Stewart) and Semyon Varlamov (1st round pick) have been busts for them. RF4L - I would NOT trade Step for Hamilton straight up. Yes it would be good for him to start scoring more, even at the expense of a tad bit of defensive play at times. This segment brought to you by the letter E. For the most part they were pretty sound. I have a feeling we will be looking at a 4th line of Fast Lindy, Rivet for a bit. Nash totally anticipated that little backhand pass from Benn. And then NASH, who was the only guy to do anything other than give a slack-jawed stare, got into a slapping fight with Eakin. Washington is sitting in 5th place in the Metro but they would be first in the Pacific and second in both Central and Atlantic. Back to back gutsy wins by a depleted squad. I think that Henrik will pitch a shut out tonight. Loved Vesey with the FU to Nashville fans. The Rangers stayed patient and it paid off nicely. Anyone see that New MSG Hockey Show. The team has been a good team the past decade. The reason glass is needed is because Big Mac is gone. With Schneider not otherworldly this season, they are looking very weak. Just switched over to FOX news. PIRRI is a failed experiment. But they were finished products when they got there. 5 hour flight. Okay play antti Sunday. plays the game the right way. and the third is basically like an over-40 open skate. The LINDBERG line was the Rangers best, most consistent line all night. even more shocking. BTW- I think RAANTA just won the starting job for the Las Vegas Golden Knights, and easily vaulted himself to the top of the list of Rangers on the list. Impressive. 1. wafj. Rangers tied in most games played with 33. Sean Day scored a hat trick the other day. Alas, generally speaking the players that do that are centers. FML. They beat Carolina twice since but in both games they were ineffective for 2 periods. AV should have put vesey on there in the third.

I posted about it last year and then this summer. I expect them to defend, to get the puck out of their own end. He pays with passion. The game was nasty at times with both teams throwing some big hits. and the pp is continuing the ny passers theme. Day really got to take big steps and find a good niche for him to play in the NHL. My guess is that he will either be a black ace for much of the remainder of the year, or will be released. the Pirri missed tap-in). What crap. I like the way the team has adjusted to the injuries and is playing a simple, smart game now. Sergey Z I think is the lone Ranger prospect in the tourney. I know Fast did - I remember watching him. On the road, but I assume that Eakin did. Klein can throw them when he has to. However, I have since learned where the name really came from. got raked over the coals many times for Miller. I also had on my ranger snowshoes. I suspect the Bolts will try to move him by the deadline and any team interested will endeavor to resign him before consummating any trade. His time with the Rangers looked to be promising until an injury kept him out and he lost his number one spot to Henrik Lundqvist. well. Pure conjecture on both our parts of course. I fear what they have now will become a serious issue in the playoffs. The Rangers finally adjusted to opponents and their available personnel. Chicago might win this game but this is not a smart way to try and beat a ranger team. Tanner Glass is a useless waste of space. I first thought someone was going after him, but nope. The problem with that trade proposal is who replaces Stepan at center, especially with Z out until after xmas. Rangers would probably have to shed a top prospect and a high, if not first round draft pick. Big Mac gives Stewart a good hard clean check (God forbid), Stewart two hands him over the shoulder and they have good bout (decision Mac IMO). If that line is their 4th line when everyone gets back and healthy that would be great IMHO. Zbad and Buch slot people into proper lines. Its not like the AVS need to do anything right now, they can hold their best chips until the draft if need be, and even beyond that. I do NOT want to see us change strategy here, I just want us to execute better. The fix we need in this area is IMO the following. KIS: Yes but as I said, this slide started a while back - before the 3 game western trip. He failed. Roy left the AVS because Sakic didnt agree with him that the core of that team was a mess, and Roy wanted Duchene off the roster ASAP, and in fact was just about forced to put him in the lineup last season at times. Lindy Ruff please punch ass vipe in his face. 500 clip for the past few weeks. I get the reluctance to move Stepan for Hamilton - the contracts are a wash and Hamilton is under-achieving. Their last loss was to us after Thanksgiving. I think Raanta is undoubtedly the better of the two. AV with Girardi on with the goalie pulled. STEVIE: I understand the concern but I think folks just need to relax a bit. His physical game is there sometime and other times its not. RF: after the way Clandening was causing unforced errors I would sent Lundqvist out as a defenseman before letting that turd off the bench. That is why they have called up HRIVIK and now JENSEN. the points pace for the Metro this season AND the final wildcard spot. Flury or Bishop (if they are not both traded to teams that will protect them) are top choices I am sure. etc. AV is doing the right thing, like it or not. Forward Cal Clustterfuck agreed to terms on a five-year contract with the New York Islanders on Friday. And Puemple I suspect will be following Pirri into the pressbox and then one of them (or both) will be on waivers. If I remember we had Richter and Beezer and would probably lose him to expansion so we traded him first. But Glass is a little too low on the talent scale IMO. If the starting 6 were all studs, it would make sense. Rangerlou no bong here I said the exact same diva line you used last week lol. He is just playing within the parameters that the league set. Go back a few years, we tried to play like we did in the NHL in the AHL, but we failed pretty hard. It started just before that road trip and has gotten progressively more obvious in most games. PJ: the guys dive all over the ice Chris Krieder has to pick his spots. What will be interesting to watch is how effective the King is in his next start. If you want to bag on a team for effort after they lose three players to injury, be my guest. I would rather watch one of those useless AHL players than see Glass get anywhere neat this team again. It was reported on the news that RF4L was last seen walking around Barrie, Ont. I would have some hard feelings towards my teammates for doing zero. Im way passed just wanting to qualify for the playoffs. That being said, the Rangers have battened down the hatches and Raanta saw less shots against in 4 games than Henrik had against him in his last 3 games. IMO, it behooves Gorton to start considering this. meaning more good things to come. Second period the New York Rangers lost their composure and get some possession. Bob - say what you will, but Trouba looked just about as good as Laine and the rest of the Jets. The guy needs time in the AHL (as obvious by his play and his productuion) to become an NHL player or, I should say, a responsoble, do-little Ranger NHL player. He absolutely sucked under Sacco (Also the title of an adult film, btw) and had a resurgence when Roy came in. did I ever say HA. But I have not seen a shot of Hank on the bench during the game,Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. Obviously Clendening has been given a vote of no confidence by this coach. Agree 100%. ( ). AV double speak on whether or not his team failed in responding to Eakins goonery on the King. They have a good deal off talent there but their results suck and there is talk about breaking up the young core there. Also RF another thing you put so much stock in, is this WJ tourney. Vesey did not play, he may play tomorrow. Vesey was on all game and it took him to partway into the 3rd to apparently realize that. 6-7-8-9. RF4L- At the same time, I think its important to remember what points scored by player is and where it comes from. Make better decisions on draft day with full projections for every player you care about. But the New York Rangers just need to play the game tighter. 18. It thought they probably deserved to be up in the game by a few goals. He has mostly been great in the POs, but especially early in the seasons he has been a bit shaky. FUCK THAT. Shorten their bench and their offense goes away and they become very mortal. This kid was selected 25th overall by the Bruins in 2014. 1. He also had a nice hit stepping up on Hossa (IIRC) in the third when it looked like Hossa might blow by him. They are trying to emulate the pens. In the following years if you take away the (somewhat lucky) pick of Lunquist this team, would have been a mess. The Rangers just look like a mess right now. He might end up with 70 points one season, but I think his ceiling is really 30 goals and 20 helpers. Vancouver is now a mess because ownership is hand-cuffing Linden, blocking a true bottoming out. Good job, Commissioner Gordon (:-) i know, Gorton). McDonagh still out with flu, Skjei not on ice either: dental work. Man. But for sure, the Rangers pushed back with one of their more physical games. He also left his successor a mess - a bunch of horrid contracts and a compromised feeder system that the organization is only beginning to experience of the repercussions of. Interesting that many put their lack of success last year directly on Patrick Roy but the team is actually worse this year without him. He turned aside 17 shots in a 2-1 triumph over the Winnipeg Jets Dec. And once again I thought the LINDBERG line was solid. please. No sooner do I suggest Sean DAY might be on the US roster, the team releases its final camp roster. 15-1-1. Everyone worries about concussion, and should be worrying about concussions. Good job all around. I think we must consider him as one of our top prospects. Or should they not make a move and keep all for depth. Jensen will need good players around him to be good. So the Rangers response was typical of NHL teams. Just think it would have been a lot smarter to give him a breather and then played him again next game. But they have to do a better job keeping their discipline and assignments. CBJ 120. I honestly think they need a real hockey man to come in and fix the franchise. But the last few drafts, those players will have been ready before any of the current guys would be out of their way. I think we are quite noticeably behind a team like SJ in this area. Raanta has been really good this year. National teams are different, Duchene loves that kind of thing, boosts his ego, so for a short time he is happy and does what he is supposed to, but the grind of an NHL season. Even if he plays well I think it is important that the coaching staff play RAANTA much more often then they have been. Total momentum killer go brush your hair Hankie. Our award-winning staff pumps out tons of quality content just for RotoWire subscribers. Also, is it okay to now say that Dylan McIlrath was a bust as a first round pick. Grabner make this team look oooooooo much better. And when is the last time we have seen a Devils team so brutal defensively. remind me again how many teams rest uninjured top 6 D around the NHL. take a seat. NYRs system won the game. The New York Rangers had pipeline issues for going on how many seasons. All that usually matters is who is hot going into the playoffs. Vesey should have been swapped with Zuke, no Hrivik. Imagin that, we can actually survive and thrive with a LHS playing the Right Side defense. He should have focused on giving Raanta an opportunity to keep this up instead. Im not suggesting that Hank is not our number one. you should get a shot to your thick skull. Hanky man up tell the coach antti deserves the game Sunday. By. the sky DID kind of fall in 2003-2004. E - Actually. The two by far leading scorers are from his team and so forth. Just look at Calgary and now Vancouver as prime examples. Trade. Finally realized we should probably not sit on a one goal lead, and took a QUALITY sog. Rangers assign Nicklas Jensen to Hartford, with Rick Nash ready and Matt Puempel closer. Totally not a dirty player and up until that hit had, I believe 2 minutes in penalties for the year. he made 5 amazing saves tonight. 37 shots on DARLING. Forgot the kid has a face full of stitches. When you have a full team, games against lesser opponents, becomes easy wins. The team in front of him and his coach failed. the only one in the AV era who 1) played physical consistently 2) would play the pseudo goon role 3) was allowed to play the pseudo goon role. There are scores of guys who played in the U20s who never made the NHL. The NFL will be less physical in the future. not the opposite,. He has every chance to become a formidable hockey player. I side on AV being a douche when it comes to his treatment of this kid. Mats Zuccarello has not scored in 14 straight games. And for a guy who is clearly dedicated to the organization. A little more offensive ability and I would take Glass over him all day. Thought Stepan was a bit invisible and yet he gets the gwg assist. antti will try to fill in your robe. Or they may just cut bait on him figuring they have other options on the right side of the PP. It pains me to read what you guys are enduring. never seem to get stunned. When you are down 4 out of top 6, 4-2 wins, become 3-2 loses. Another guy who is pretty routinely bashed by fans who has been playing really well lately has been FAST. Redden, Holik, Fluery, Burke and holy crap you get a headache just thinking about it. I hope Gorther has balls like Belicheck from the Pats. If not, then wtf didnt they do a total rebuild. Can we end the Pirri experiment. Im surprised Hanks body language did not show his diva like quality. So be it. Score should have being 5-0 after the first. Philly just won their 8th straight game - they are now 4th overall in the east. Make the Islanders pay for that nasty cheapshot. I get your frustration - it annoys me to no end to see my team get pummelled physically with no pushback. Ola - certainly DAY has some good wheels. And to be honest, I think the trashing of AV is getting a bit out of hand. And hard hits will be few and far between. Which is precisely what they did. RF4L: I volunteer with a member of the AVS coaching staff. Can you point to anything that supports your claim. Stepan off the ice and Lindberg on and what happens. Hank could have been playing great, and if Ranta had back to back shutouts he should go back in. Giving up 4 is not going to work for this club. They did the year they went to the finals. Which shows that this team can play even depleted. In my opinion, the quality of the hogwash is more impactful that the quantity. and what happened. Played organized sports for the better part of my life including the D1 level in college. Sadder was the zero response from the gonadless Rangers. Just a gut feeling. But for him being invisible on the ice is t as bad as it would be for a sniper. Not an easy game coming off a back-back and what 1:00-1. They spent big on Semyon Varlamov who has has had one good year and several mediocre years and seems unable to remain healthy. The New York Rangers are offensively thin and the NYI are a basket of deplorables. If either league wanted to survive they needed to change, and there will be further changes. He is believed to still be weeks away from a return to the ice. and I dealt with getting poked and prodded for that. I wont expect to see any real improvements until the end of the season or maybe even next season. STEP: I would say the Rangers are on the front end of that trend. And finally, so did Nash, Jensens and Clendenning, albeit when the property of other teams. Lundqvist had started 21 of the first 27 games, and was 12-8-1 with a. Very susceptible to an aggressive kill. Best goaltending in a regular season game in years. Gabe Landeskog was made captain, that has not worked out. Moof ass vipe says he loves his team so the answer has to be yes. E: Just as I predicted, the injury excuse is coming out. I think this new NHL is going to prolong. Parity has caused the gap between the best teams and worst teams to be really thin in most years. Antti should and then ass vipe and allair can decide on the back to back weekend games. I have read Rivets CORSI numbers is high (whatever that means). Get traffic to the net and make sure you have a 1-2 triangle in the neutral zone. Certainly much better then they have been lately. Seeing a long line of folks in Ranger jerseys outside MSG. Can anyone here say with a straight face that he did anything to earn a job in the top six this year. Honestly. swoon to croon. Or so history has shown when he is against the wall he is at his best. The kids were unknown and we had no idea how BUCHNEVICH would adapt to NA. Of course no cup winner is made up of drafted players only. The Rangers lost their top-line center for two months. Six shots last night in 15 minutes of ice time. Re: Duchene - I just see no advantage to getting him at this point. Sports has changed due to better understanding of the impact of head injuries. Not a bad overall performance, considering that another top player (Mac) was out. KIS: I think the player you are referring to was Nigel Dawes. Your call. I remember the bench clearing brawl that ensued. Dunno why some folks refuse to acknowledge it - the feeder system is compromised. I like him, but he got big steps in front of him. Whoever asked about BUCHNEVICH: Buchnevich is sidelined due to back spasms and has been placed on the injured reserve list. Rangers being held hostage in their own end. We blew up 99. It makes you wonder how many other little contract nuggets are out there with other players. Once Zbad and Buch are back and if no other injuries. They started the third short two forwards, and then a third after VESEY went down. Still I thought they had more high quality scoring chances then Chicago. Marek Hrivik leads Hartford in points (17), and he is tied for the team lead in goals (eight) and assists (nine) in 2016-17. There 7 points points separating the 8th team in in the Eastern conference and the 14th. He can maybe film another Mask episode. Nowadays, MSG is no more a special experience then going to any of the homogeneous arenas that Arizona, or Anaheim have erected. Oh, and one thing I forgot in my last post is that the bad turnover by HRIVIK on the 3rd goal against contributed as well. Big deal Eakins has a hearing today. Its the same year in and year out, crap rosters or great rosters. He is awful. Because I tell you what, if either of those guys was in the lineup, someone from the Stars would have been leaving on a stretcher. McD gets tossed around like a rag doll by that bitch Crosby and nobody does anything. and he was engaged. Manny Malhotra and Tomas KLOUCEK. Take any team in NHL. In the past, the problem was more impatience - trading away young players before they fully developed (re Marc Savard, Matti Norstrom) or inexplicably rushing not ready players (re Blackburn, Maholtra). maybe next time. I have never seen anybody so strong in opinion about these draft picks. Vic it might be time to find to find an alternative. Give him chance to go 10-1-1. That new MSG Hockey Shows really BLOWS. And for all of those who bashed GIRARDI before this year started and early into the season you can calm down a bit. It would be nice to have a player or 2 at least, but if that would have come at the expense of the
