It’s coming boys. Just be patient. They rangers will be a force. Just let it happen. They were bunch of dogs tonight. Nice win. They might score 5-6 Monday
I would try like hell to get Necas or Robertson(s)
Nick Robertson for Othmann
We need to have 3 Robertson’s. I love Matt Robertson, as a player. He’s ain’t bad to look at either. Hes gets my wife all hot and bothered 😂
The problem with getting those guys, is theyre both currently on Cup contenders. We cant offer them a better situation. Id love to replace Panarin and Mika with Robertson and Necas, but I just dont see either happening.
My biggest issues with the site as it currently stands is that it is incredibly slow, doesn’t refresh properly, and I can never tell if I’m looking at the most current blog. I think the activity will pick up if these are addressed. Hope that’s in the works
I think one of the problems that could be an issue related to this is the old blog only had Jan. Now we have 2 other people posting within the Rangers thread. There was never any confusion about what was current and staying in the current blog. Also, it wasnt put together like a proper discussion forum. You didnt have to deal with filtering though other stuff, Jan’s blog would go to the board and that was it. Jan would post a new one, the old one would get archived and that was it.
I’m not sure they looked this good at any point all last season. Attention to detail is remarkably improved, especially in the dzone.
Laba looks like he’s played for years and he already has Sullys trust in all situations. Crazy since he probably came out of nowhere if you think about it. I doubt before camp started they even considered him as a regular, and at this point how could they ever send him down? He might here to stay especially with Trocheck out. He actually reminds me of Brandon Dubinsky
The stars are still fighting it (Panarin especially)a bit but the lower guys really stepped up this road trip. Trying not to get too excited yet realizing they haven’t played a powerhouse yet, but got good vibes so far
There were whispers about Laba for a couple years, but figure we all thought he’d be a developmental project. Nobody really expected him to come into camp and just step so seamlessly into that 3C role… and do it well.
If Drurys plan was to hope one of those players went to free agency he should be fired now. You dont run a team with the hopes a player will leave his team and sign with you instead of one of the other 30 teams (Not including Rangers and the team the player is leaving). That is downright ridiculous. I cant see Panarin staying, as Drury had that big blow out a few years ago after losing a playoff series. Panarin didnt do much to help his case against Fla. I cant see Drury wanting to sign him.
I honestly dont care if he does. Personally, approach him about a trade at the deadline. This is the last year that teams can do double retention in a trade. We can easily get a 1st round pick for him, with probably some extras sprinkled on top. That would give us a 3rd, 1st round pick in a massively stacked 2026 draft. If he wants to come back, hes come back regardless, personally I dont care if he does.
The other caveat is LAF. If he doesnt make significant strides this season, and seems to stay at this plateaued 50 point place. Im not sure I want to keep him here, we could have just kept Kakko for half the price for that production.
I’m having a hard time using this site too unfortunately. Maybe fortunately for some. But I find myself wanting to use it less because of the issues
The replying function is a bit broken. Its not as good as it was with HB, but its still better than what is currently on that site.
Fox looks horrendous. Want to chalk it up to preseason, fine. But he just looks like there is zero effort.
bruhhh i’m dying. i thought i posted something on here. lmao
If you were trying to quote pickle with that link to X, it wasnt working. You have to take the link out of the quote to be able to respond to him. Found that out after trying like a dozen times.
Hopefully playing with Trocheck and laf gets Othmann going. Or else it may be Perreault making the team over him
Theres also the possibility neither makes the lineup with Raddysh, possibly Sheary making the team and Berard grabbing a spot based on his solid play last year. Id love to see Othmann, Laba, Perreault play together in the AHL.
Garand looked leaky. Fox and Soucy looked terrible on the 4th goal. This team needs to tighten it up defensively.
Eh, I dont pay any mind to these things in preseason.
I’m rooting hard for Berard, I wish they both could make it. Othmann is becoming a problem, if they give up on him he’s going to find it one day somewhere else.
The problem is we dont have the space on the roster to wait on a guy to finally find it. Which is why, like Nils when I kept saying we should trade him, if a GM sees value, and we can recoup some value for him, we gotta do it.
Great first 2 periods. I’d say Perrault has the edge over Othmann and unfortunately Berard (although a still love this kid). Just not sure 3rd line will suit him best. Parssinen has been solid, think he’s a lock for 3C but Laba is super close and could step in mid year. Unfortunate Morrow is a right shot, think he’d make the team otherwise.
I think it would be a mistake by the coaching staff to overlook Berard based on his play last season. I think hes a lot like Eeli Tolvanen, small guy, plays bigger than he is and clearly in very limited time still some what productive. Based on his P/60, in an 82 game season he could have been flirting with 15 goals and well over 100 hits.
Hopefully starting on wing with Miller can help establish and jumpstart Mika’s offensive game, post Kreider. If his game is solid and he is moved to 3C I see that as a confidence move for him as a driver of play even if it is reduced ice time. It would probably mean the team is trending in a positive direction.
Or leave Mika on RW and trade for a 3C at the deadline if we’re in contention
Im trying to separate the name from the position/production. All Im thinking about is, if we have a RW who is producing at a PPG pace, making 8.5m per thats a good deal. Im trying not to think about who it is doing it.
What Zib offers is the ability to run a 3rd PK line. It also allows for rotation, where lets say you have a lead and need to hold you can move Zib to the 3rd line providing a C who can win faceoffs and play D.
the new centennial jerseys are pretty clean i like them a lot. might have to actually grab one of them.
the game 7 patch is easy on the eyes too. if we’re basically forced to have one it’s probably the best i could ask for.
Im definitely getting the jersey, Im just debating if I want to get it plain or not.
The right choice IMO
Trocheck should be “1st” A of this new identity, after that, honestly, I dont want Zib with an A. If he wants it, he needs to lead by example.
What did I miss?
Othmann and morrow lookin real good
If Morrow’s play keeps in this trajectory, could be really interesting to see Schneider paired with him. Both young stud two way defenders with solid on the puck skills, leaving Soucy/Borgen to play the shut down pair role.
