Yeah, but for Quick… that was embarrassing at the end.
I dont think it was embarrassing for Quick, why do you think it was. What was an embarrassment was the the tissue crew of our “Core” Panarin, Mika and Fox not even batting an eye after he shot it in the net. I dont want a Morgan Rielly response but show some kind of emotion, it was pathetic and they were all standing within 15 of him. It came down to a 39yo goalie to show some emotion on this team. With just over a quarter of the season gone, this team is nothing more than a .500 hockey team that is nothing more than a bubble playoff team.
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.
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.
For those that think this team can win, take note that half the league is at about .500, the Rangers can still make a push for the playoffs. This condensed schedule is really screwing up the majority of the teams.
The road team we see vs the home team we see is very strange. It’s like two completely different groups of players lol
Trocheck coming back will help alot. That’s probably what they really miss, offensively. He really makes the lineup whole and
Laba is just a godsend. What a draft pick steal he was (4th rd). He does everything well and seems to banger better every game
Nice to see Laf produce some offense. He’s been really irritating this season (not just him)
The whole league is tight, no clear top team aside from the Avs and maybe the Devils, it will be a foot race because of the condensed schedule.
Went back to check in on HB and Ek is still at it
” just got off the phone with a source who has been around the Montréal Canadiens organization for decades and he tells me that he has heard a real last 48 hours a lot of discussion involving Montreal and the Rangers in a possible deal that would send Artemi Panarin to Montreal for a first rounder in 2025 third rounder in 2025 and a conditional second rounder that could become a first rounder in 2026.”
He doesn’t take the time to remember what year it is lol
Nor remember that Bread controls his own destiny!!
