This game isn't over. This is where we need the leaders in the locker room - Kreider, Hank, anyone else - to stand up and get the young guys pumped up. This is a winable game.

Ottawa clogged up the middle and have been doing it since the middle of the first. Rangers have no answer for it.

They also went 1-4 a few times and stacked the blue line to make us slow down or dump it

 

[Rempe73]

Oh cassano
Years of giving out big contracts to shot-blocking machines and bringing the big ufas over.
Here’s the result

Eh, I would say Gorton offset that with some great trades, awesome RFA contracts, and lots of good, young talent on ELCs.

If we lose it’s a great lesson that you have to leave everything on the ice no matter who you playing against every night.
If we win it’s a great confidence boost.

All I see is win-win

dump it in, go get it? clogged middle should be the easiest thing for this team to handle. ha.

 

[DanielBrassard]

I don't understand how they come out on fire and then just stop playing. Ottawa starts getting aggressive and forechecking hard and it's a mess while the Rangers can't establish anything down low.

I have liked almost his every move starting with the Stepan trade.

The fights and the refs.

They don't seem to have anyone who is a disrupter and can create havoc when the puck is dumped in. Even a pathetic defense like Ottawa's they get outmuscled constantly.

 

[Fitzy]

I see how it is, I assault reporters and get a night in jail, but some jackass in a gritty costume does it and everyone laughs.

 

[NYR94]

Gritty lol

So what's the new fix-all?

The McDonagh trade is the one I’m not in love with. I like Hajek, but Miller for Namestnikov seemed like an unnecessary component of that deal.

yeah even going back to last year they're really weak physically

 

[DanielBrassard]

So what's the new fix-all?

Blow the team up completely.

At the time miller really wasn’t anything special, I remember ppl constantly trashing him.

Mza and mcdonagh trades didn't get full value imo.

Grabner trade was great.

 

[Glen Sathers Cigar]

At the time miller really wasn’t anything special, I remember ppl constantly trashing him.

And he was in line for a big raise.

 

[Fitzy]

Blow the team up completely.

Pretty sure that's the plot of the movie Sudden Death.

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

God these intermissions are so long what the f***

Miller got dumped because he was low-key bad in the locker room and the 3rd best LW on the team behind Zucc and Kreider about to get paid $5M+. You can't structure a team like that.

I don't think you can separate the miller/names part from the mcdonagh for 1/2/prospects part. They're part of each other. McDonagh was beat up and the whole league was lukewarm on him. We like to believe differently but it's the case.

 

[Mandar]

At the time miller really wasn’t anything special, I remember ppl constantly trashing him.

His one playoff goal in like 45 playoff games spoke volumes

 

[ReggieDunlop68]

And he was in line for a big raise.

It would have been terrible to keep him.

People are just grabbing at hypothetical straws.

 

[effen]

Mza and mcdonagh trades didn't get full value imo.

Grabner trade was great.

they got full value. they didn't get full hf fan value.

It wasn’t Miller for Namestnikov
