Add in a returning vet. Sprinkle in the season debut of a rookie. Mix in production from several players enduring a disappointing season. The end resu
[See the full post at: Rangers Find Magic Formula at Home]Point 5 is the main reason imo. This is the tonic they needed. The lines/forwards are much more imposing now for a variety of reasons.
The 3rd line has the makings of something very special. Cuylle and Laba complement each other every well with the style they both play. I agree I’d rather see Raddysh there over Sheary, but I’d prefer someone else completely. Maybe Othmann gets a look again, but to me that where they need an upgrade now. 3RW.
What about a small trade, Othmann for Colangelo (from Anaheim). He seems to need a change of scenery like Othmann does. He could fit nicely on the 3rd line, and is a natural RW. Being 6’2, 205 fits aswell, and a Massachusetts kid
I think the saying “US Thanksgiving playoff position” goes out the window this year, even Buffalo sitting last in the east could throw themselves back into the run if the win the 2 games they have in hand. You really cant rule any team out. A bit different in the west but wow Crazy season.
Brukie…
Imo the rangers will be good enough to finish 3rd in the metro. Washington doesn’t seem to have the same mojo this year. Islanders are good but I think they’ll fade after awhile so that really puts us in a decent position. CBJ is the team to worry about. They could be on our tail all season if they start clicking. Perhaps the flyers. Devils and Canes seem a bit ahead of the rangers still so well what happens at the TDL if the Rangers can beat them. Devils are scary good and are a problem for sure
Anyway, The puck luck has finally turned in our favor. Ironically, the night Trocheck came back. I think we’ve learned just how important Trocheck is on this team. He lengthens the lineup which is what they were really struggling with during the goose egg era.
Overall I think we should be buying in, the Rangers are looking fine (most of time) little loose defensively at times but at least they can out score any issues. Shesty had a terrible 1st period, but he really locked it down after that. That was a solid 40 minutes.
Some random thoughts in guys:
Laf- is maybe, finally, could it be, “arriving”, and at the right time. He looks awesome last few games
Perrault- looked a step slower tonight. Maybe it’s natural just hope they don’t send him down again
Laba- same could be said for Laba. He still looks like a player without a doubt. That was draft pick that should age very well
Cuylle- really playing well. He is the Kreider replacement on the PP. He should be the captain when Miller is gone eventually
That’s my two cents. Miss the daily hourly minute by minute banter like the old days

Way to early to make a definitive prediction. So many games and no one is rolling. My take on this team is still the same. Defense is terrible. Gavrikov is our only steady defense man. The rest continue to miss assignments and play leaky. Only our top 2 lines produce and they are very streaky and inconsistent. Almost 20 games in and still not sure of this teams identity.
Larry brooks died
Does anyone know where Torts was last night?
In all seriousness RIP Larry. Must have known his time was near for him to walk away a few weeks ago
RIP Larry Brooks Aka Trent Crimm. Not my favorite writer but he always provided plenty of Ranger content.
