I’m just going to eat an entire Ben & Jerry’s in shame

Don't go down Laf's path

 

[Cmox]

There's only a devils feed?

Is the shitty preseason cross over nonsense. joe is there.

 

[duhmetreE]

We got embarrassed by this team in the playoffs.... Vets have no care.

 

[HockeyBasedNYC]

Chytil is clearly a missing factor in this one. He is one of the few on the team who can carry the puck and push the other team back on their heels

That’s a big problem. They just don’t have the skaters. And this was painfully obvious last season.

So let’s go out and sign Nick Bonino, Blake Wheeler and Pitlick because they are true burners.

And while we are at it let’s sign a backup goalie who should be retired.

That’ll do the trick

I like how they made that a bad thing in the movie when it's actually amazing

oh I know. we talked about it. part of the reason I said hi

other reason is, I know you're full force in here already. they don't look great.

Looks like we found our avatar theme for the year

Jack Hughes has played 4 out of the 6 games so far.

You can say what you want about the Rangers rushing a rebuild but if Laf Kakko Lisa Andersson and Krapsoft all live up to their draft status the narrative goes out the window and you get guys like Pierre McGuire gushing over how much youth the Rangers have and how they’re gonna be a force for a decade.

yes, but it’s extremely unlikely you hit on everyone. that’s why you have excess to make up for the busts.

Most picks fail.

That's why you add four more top-10 picks instead of trying to win the Cup with league's 17th best team.

 

[TriFF51]

Wow, Chytil really has less games played that Laf and Kakko? Glass man indeed.

 

[will1066]

Every game reinforces the Kid Line should be together and given minutes

It's preseason but it looks like every real game against the Devils

Hahaha. If it gets me free press box tickets like him I’ll do it again

eh
rangers having trouble finding each other for the most part which could be down to a learning curve

 

[effen]

If they're going to be this slow (and they will) they need to own the space they occupy and chip, hook, obstruct, slash, and own the 6 inches around them in all directions.

They play ultra clean excuse me hockey they're gonna get blown by, same as last year.

I would be very here for Chytil and Kakko together with a LW who doesn't suck.

A learning curve since Torts left?

I agree most picks fail but my point still stands if they hit on their top 10 picks nobody’s saying they rushed the rebuild. How many top picks did Edmonton have and they still sucked for years?

 

[duhmetreE]

the entire seasons success comes down to this 2nd period.

 

[egelband]

3rd coach, same lazy vet core, same lazy results.

said it before and i'll say it again, they should have moved at least one of the 'core' vets. if for nothing else, than to shake up the environment and engender some accountability.

I think they'll move one this year. Two if they flame out.
