GDT: #12 - 10/30/18 | RANGERS @ sharks | 10:30 - MSG

[ReggieDunlop68]

You give me too much **** for liking ADA, I always assume your screwing with me lol

I only gave you stuff when you didn't see that Quinn was trying to motivate ADA, and it wasn't an agenda.

Somehow you were able to see lucidly what he was doing with Buch, but now when I step back...perhaps it is a Russian Bias?

 

[Webster]

Buchnevich healthy scratch, McLeod in

 

[eco's bones]

Buchnevich is just about our weakest guy on the puck and when the Rangers don't have the puck he looks lost out there more than any other player and the Rangers don't have the puck a lot. He's got the talent to be the leader of our offense but he doesn't have enough drive. I wouldn't be surprised to see the Rangers move on from Buch this year. This is the second coaching staff and he's not progressing. The Rangers have too many passengers and he's one of them.

 

[Harbour Dog]

Similar to Names and ADA, this is Quinn trying to get more out of a guy.

Three different circumstances, but he clearly uses the starting lineup as a carrot to motivate the younger guys.

That a third round pick from five years ago is in the conversation to be an established top6er is a win in and of itself. I'd be more concerned if Quinn was fine with relegating Buch to the bottom six and wasn't still pushing him.

 

[WeRa]

10:30, great early start for the Europeans

3:30 AM isn't exactly the best..

 

[WeRa]

Here we go again. I'm starting to think Buchnevich might be dangled in a package for W. Nylander

Great...

Good point. My pastor told me it's not the appearance but the intention that matters in the will of man.

Despite the bulk of our rebuild pieces, Chad, Chytil, ADA, Buchnevich not flourishing yet under what was suppose to be a player development tenure for Quinn, I still have a positive lookout on Quinn's ability to get things on track.

 

[Irishguy42]

I mean I really want the no1 OA, but if that means losing to San Jose in their barn when most Ranger fans will be askeep during our rebuild, then it dont sit too right with me amigo.

Exactly. If they're going to lose, I at least want to be able to watch them and be miserable about it live.

 

[Don Chytil]

Maybe Quinn sees how skilled Buch and DeAngelo are and knows he needs to glue them to the bench.. for the tank

 

[kovazub94]

I had no problem when Quinn benched Buch the first time but there’s absolutely no reason to do it now based on what he showed since (individually or in the context of the whole team).

 

[Shesterkybomb]

If the leafs would take Buchnevich and Shattenkirk for nylander I pull the trigger.

 

[bl02]

Is Mcleod really playing tonight??? His penalty was the turning point in the last game against the kings. Merited or not.
Now he gets to drag down our best offensive prospect. Great.

Leafs fans are hard to deal with when it come to their "big 3" but even that is highway robbery.

 

[Machinehead]

If he's older than 27, sure.

This is HF. 27 is like 11 years past prime.

Can I throw in a 2nd rounder?

This I dont get, I understand the message to Buchnevich but to play MacLeod is counteracting the message.

Neither the drive nor the physical strength. So easy to knock him off the puck. Maybe a workout session or two with CK would do him some good. Frankly, though, he’ll be a 20-25 goal scorer throughout his career at this rate. Nothing to write home about.

 

[ReggieDunlop68]

Already a bust at 15.

 

[Machinehead]

Already a bust at 15.

I was a bust at 14 in baseball

McLeod is the only other forward on the roster.

Sitting Buchnevich and playing McLeod are two different things.

One is on Quinn, the other is really on Gorton.

Then call up Holland.

 

[Irishguy42]

Then call up Holland.

That's on Gorton.

If Gorton isn't going to call up someone to replace McLeod, then Quinn really has no other option if he thinks that scratching Buchnevich for a game will be helpful for him.

They already did 11F 7D and that was the worst thing in existence.

Scratching Buch and playing McLeod really shouldn't be seen as one and the same.

McLeod being on the roster has always been, and will continue to be unless otherwise noted, Gorton's doing.

 

[Irishguy42]

Thornton is back tonight. Expect a big game from him.

Did Jumbo Score 4?

 

[effen]

And it’s not different from AV’s previous sabotage because he’s still pulling the strings via Renney.

Bryan Trottier wrote a 13 page handwritten letter to Quinn and then he benched Buch.

Knew Trots had it out for Russians. God I hate him.

 

[effen]

They aren't trying to sabotage him just because...

Yes they are. And if we're not careful Colin Campbell is going to suspend him.
