Speculation: ‘I’m rotting away. It f— sucks’: Rangers’ Zac Jones on recent scratches

[KirkAlbuquerque]

He 6’5 and unable to move the puck? We don’t want him.

He’s the opposite. 5’2” and has good puck skills

Van should be interested. 5’11” no?

 

[5cotland]

Typical victim of Laviolette.

Young talented dman with strong puck skills who has played considerably well but gets benched for a returning veteran who was rushed back and has been a bomb-scare. No wonder he is pissed

You know it’s bad in NY when two dudes do somethin totally outside hockey norms, and fans are like “amen brother, you’re right.”

 

[Pinkfloyd]

imagine a player saying some shit like this in a winning org. they wouldnt even conceive of it. but in NY, the inmates run the asylum. The leaders of the org have zero control of their employees. It’s insane.

It's players voicing their displeasure. Easy on the theatrics.

He is in no planet 5’11”

He’s noticeably tiny. Fox looks like Pronger to him

Absolutely. Drury and Laviolette are complete stooges

 

[JESSEWENEEDTOCOOK]

The leaders of the org are sounding more and more like the problem every day and the players who are coming out and complaining are just the tip of the iceberg. What else lies underneath?

We're getting players who are fed up so much that they'll risk their careers by speaking out publicly on a team just to get out of there. It's becoming a pattern to make an escape from the Rangers.

Oh, believe me, I’m not disagreeing with you. It’s a direct indictment of management.

It's players voicing their displeasure. Easy on the theatrics.

talk about theatrics?? “oh i’m rotting away” okay says the epitome of JAG. if the epitome of JAG feels emboldened to say some ridiculous shit like that the organization is in f***ing shambles.

 

[cheesymc]

Send him to the AHL to get him his minutes…. hefty and paycut…

 

[dredeye]

With how bad things seem to be for the Rags I’m shocked management hasn’t been dealt with yet. I guess that’s more of an off season thing to happen

 

[blankall]

Rangers seemed to go from an organization that players were forcing trades to sign with, to the opposite, overnight.

 

[wetcoast]

Goddamn this team is a mess

 

[miscs75]

Goddamn this team is a mess

 

[dirtydanglez]

he'll be thrown in the miller trade

 

[mm11]

A few years ago some thought he was a cant miss prospect. Looks kinda tiny out there, Lavy in general knows what he is doing. If Jones gets another shot he best get r done.

 

[Tie Domi Esquire]

now Zac Jones (???) is trying to call the shots

 

[3074326]

Seems the Rangers players don’t like the Rangers about as much as I don’t like the Rangers

 

[LTIR]

Who is this guy?

 

[Nogatco Rd]

Shot at Mika?

“I’m not a 32-year-old guy collecting a paycheck,” the 24-year-old Jones said. “I’m a guy who wants to earn my paycheck.”

 

[AnInjuredJasonZucker]

He is in no planet 5’11”

Used to be taller, but he's rotting away.

drury is a genius.

if you can't trade the players because of their trade protection ...

 

[Chet Manley]

I'd just tell him to go home and don't come back until he's figured out that he has to earn a spot.

 

[SML2]

Again, he gets benched for weeks while KAM never misses a shift. I have been saying this forever. This method of managing ice time is toxic.

This little saga might damage their FA pull a bit. Not completely obviously with the big market and an original 6 but for a couple years players might think twice about signing for the Rags till this situation is clear and gone.

I’ve followed hockey pretty much my whole life and I don’t recall a situation like this in the NHL

sens imploded after a deep playoff run. lots of behind the scenes stuff. very similar imo

 

[Shocker]

Jones saw what Kakko did and was like i wanna trade too.
