Bobby Granger commercials were fire for like the first 3 or 4 times, dont lie.

.

There a few good ones but it got old real fast. This helmet guy commercial wasn’t too bad at first but it wears on you just like Bobby.

 

[Ghost of jas]

I’m a broken record at this point, but that trade was much better than a lot of people thought

It was the exact value that some of us (Trxjw, Edge and myself), predicted, which was historic market value. Anybody saying otherwise wasn’t paying attention.

Kane was laughing at Staal as they went to the penalty boxes. Stop it.

Again, how does that make Staal 'soft'?

18-19 Rangers season: dissecting the Semin Staal fight from a decade ago.

It's intermission in a pretty uneventful game....

There is no physicality to his game whatsoever. Did you see that hit that Dillon put on Buch? How often does one of our defenseman do that?

 

[Tob]

Valiquette stepped up his suit game in Ron's absence.

 

[Machinehead]

Well, i mean, semin kind of just, uh, bongo’d him

I wouldn’t say he “lost” that fight lol

Semin is that guy who trained in MMA for two days and thinks he's a black belt.

 

[ReggieDunlop68]

I remember when AV scratched Zucc... he came back on fire... maybe it's needed again

Hire AV?

 

[The Crypto Guy]

There is no physicality to his game whatsoever.

Yes there is. Not much but he does use his body (not bone crushing hits obviously). He lacks A LOT as he's gotten older, but I wouldn't call Staal soft.

 

[Webster]

Zuccarello looks like he's aged 20 years this offseason. I never remember him being this slow and careless.

Really? He already has 3 points in 3 games and 1 period, I'd say that's pretty good

 

[NYR]

I missed the Howden goal initially but just caught it on the replay.
Are you fkn kidding me?
That's a hell of a play for a 20 year old..

 

[EpicDing]

Staal is many things. Soft is not one of them.

Never, because they all miss.

That review was hysterically bad. That was offside by a mile. I'll take it though, Howden continues to impress and that goal was ridiculous.

Zucc has always been wildly careless with the puck.

When he's "on" it looks like he's making amazing seeing eye passes. When he's "off" those same passes are just getting picked off all the time instead.

He's a very high risk player. Doesn't mean he isn't a good player but when he's struggling it is ugly

One of the reasons Staal is so broken down is because he kept Ovi from winning his first cup when he was in his 20s.

 

[EpicDing]

Doesn't matter, he's played like shit.

 

[NYR]

Smith gets caught skitching and then questions the ref..Smh

 

[Zamboner]

I'm pretty shocked that losing a little bit weight didn't magically give Smith hockey skills.

Not even if it were 21 pounds ?

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

Staal...

 

[Mac n Gs]

Great play by Lettieri

 

[Harbour Dog]

Staal is many things. Soft is not one of them.

Right? Like wtf haha, he's terrible at a whole pile of hockey-related things; why would you make up a deficiency to rag on.

 

[Zamboner]

Machinist Era Christian Bale is pretty much Gretzky.

 

[will1066]

I don't know how much more Staal I can take

 

[will1066]

You need 22 pounds to achieve magical skills. He's a pound short.
