October 9, 2025 at 9:58 am #40694Brukie ParticipantYou know I love you Tj!!! You are off the wall but have good intentions. You say some crazy things But I will never forget the Drury is a genius remark!!! LOL !!!!! Just for you. October 9, 2025 at 11:16 am #40719slimtj ParticipantThe no tax state has be proven to be much less than what people think. Its winning that draws players to teams. Remember, Fla was terrible for 20 years before this resurgence. The no tax is only for half the games. The players must pay tax in every state they play in so realistically its just half the games they play. Zito built a culture in Fla. Chemistry, Comradery, Support. The Rangers had that but Drury destroyed it. It’s ironic you say that because the reason he’s “destroyed” it is because they couldn’t beat Florida. They were dominated that series. Since then, for better or worse, he’s trying to get to that level. Ie-Miller in, Trouba out as an example. You guys just refuse to see this. They weren’t good enough then, and they still aren’t. But what can ya do except try. By your theory if he leaves the team status quo, last year and now, they beat Florida? How exactly? They weren’t good enough then and now they’re older. And yes the no tax is a huge advantage, because if we sign Bennett, as an example, they have to give him 2 mill more a year then Ziti did. To make up for NO TAXES down there. It’s blatantly obvious I don’t what to tell you lol October 9, 2025 at 11:18 am #40720slimtj ParticipantYou know I love you Tj!!! You are off the wall but have good intentions.

I fully admit I’m crazy October 9, 2025 at 11:35 am #40728slimtj ParticipantThere are two moments that snowballed into this massive changeover (in leadership) Losing to NJ up 2-0 in 22-23 
 Florida manhandling them in 23-34It said a lot about the leadership those two series. Trouba, Goodrow and Kreider were the fall guys. The coaches too obviously. Listen, Drury is finally on my hot seat if it makes you feel any better Brukie lol he has no more excuses/rope with me. The whole reason I defend him is I see what he’s trying to do. At some point it’s on the damn players tho, which is a big reason he went and got Miller. They needed his kind of attitude. This year we’ll see what happens, if they miss playoffs Drury could be gone but it’s still possible it won’t happen since Sullivan just got here. They’ll probably give them both a clean slate in a sense October 9, 2025 at 12:32 pm #40757Brukie ParticipantWe all knew Goodrow was over paid, Drury was the one that over paid him. Drury went about changing the team overall with what he did with Goodrow and then CK20 and Trouba. Yes the team needed a change but Drury went about it all wrong. The way this team played the other night reminded me how they ended the year. If the uninspired play continues, Drury is gone by Christmas.

You don’t buy it, but I think they sacrificed last season and just horrid for the best knowing that the leadership wasn’t going to be helpful in anyway. They were rudderless last year He isn’t gone by Xmas lol they could be 0-50 something and he isn’t. End of the season maybe, but no way in hell does he get fired before that. GMs rarely get fired in season anyway He gave those guys 3-4 years to get it done (goodrow, Trouba, etc) and they didnt get it done. So you move on. You act like Drury is the only GM who moves on from players. And it’s one game. The two best players barely played in preseason, basically the engine (Miller and Panarin) of the team October 9, 2025 at 2:35 pm #40787slimtj ParticipantHe obv didn’t score but I thought Mika had more energy and played pretty well. He had 7 SOG Gavrikov was pretty bad. He needs to be heavily relied upon if they have any hopes of anything October 9, 2025 at 7:29 pm #40907picklerick ParticipantFinally October 9, 2025 at 8:44 pm #40935picklerick ParticipantReally need a convincing 3rd period to feel good about this one October 10, 2025 at 8:21 am #41035picklerick ParticipantK’Andre scored twice October 10, 2025 at 9:27 am #41055Brukie ParticipantNot the most impressive game but its still early. Good for Miller, he needed a change of scenery.
