Rangers need to just play fucking hockey.
Who’s going to replace Chytil ?
Aves will repeat what Vegas did at MSG before break. Count on it
Oettinger being an All-Star tells you everything you need to know.
Jon, there is no way the first line can be the 3 you named. Thats not a top line.
When are we going to talk about our weak GM Jon? Drury has done absolutely zero.
I would like to see them bring in jenner… 3.7m cap hut til 2026 gives some stability if chytils not back next yr either… he always lights us up so better join us then stay against us… and as much as I hate to say if Lindgren could be part of the package … he's due a new deal and his style of play is detrimental to lengthy career I don't wanna be locked up on him long term
25:30 Jon, by your logic of former rangers scoring goals against the rangers, does this mean Georgie is going to score one on us 😆
I'd like to see vatrano, henrique and jenner brought in if were not overpaying . I see people upset we didnt get lIndholm or monahan , but for what they got in return im glad drury didnt pull the trigger on either , would of been a huge overpay on either of them
This team is done my guys the core is to soft and had has no heart nothing will change until guys like krieder and zibanajed are gone
Gotta keep kakko
Imagine you made everyone a free agent for the post-season of eligible teams and held a draft to build the team you wanted to battle with for 2 months,. How many current Rangers would you even pick? Tells you all you need to know. This team is dog shit and their going to triple down. Good luck.
Kreider can be on the third line that’s fine if chytil didn’t get hurt trocheck would’ve been down there too which again would be fine but putting Mika with kakko and Cuylle seems very odd I love Cuylle but he’s a depth player right now and I think Kakko is proving he’s not a top 6 player either laviolette and people in general should stop using the I don’t wanna break up the Panarin trocheck Laff line as an excuse the line was playing fine with Chytil and Mika playing with Laff and Panarin makes more sense if your gonna change things up pretty much cuz everything mercogliano said and more Kreider and trocheck didn’t just have a few goals last season they had a pretty decent amount of games together and Kreider looked way better 5 v 5 and also the Trocheck line is pretty bad defensively and switching him and Mika would give both respective lines a better defensive and potentially stays the same if not gets better offensively part of that is due to Trocheck is okay defensively but he is over rated by fans in that part of his game Mika is a much better defensive player than Trocheck imo and Kreider you obviously can argue is better defensively than Laff or panarin so both said lines would get a bump defensively and stay the same if not get better offensively in theory
Also on the PP switching up I agree they should give Laff a look in place of Mika cuz he’s been useless lately on the pp but your gonna take both him and trocheck off PP1 that new line would never win a faceoff in the zone
