I guess whiffing on scoring chances is cool?

I think JT doesn't think we are gonna make the playoffs, so he decided to go into his playoff mode now...

Who out there is better than JT right now? Nash made an appearance earlier but.... Hey, I'm not saying that JT did not make those dumb mistakes.
The play by all these players is compounding. It gets worse and worse. It's similar to when a whole bunch of good talent all perform at their best at the same time; it's a compound effect, but on the sunny side of the street instead of the abyss. Mainly because I cannot think of a sport that depends on a complex connection between players more than hockey.
Nobody is pulling this Rangers team out of their abyss right now.

What makes me sick to my stomach is that we plan to blow up the team, move extremely valuable pieces like McDonagh, so Gorton can save face and continue to support the coach he gave an extension to.

This team is not watchable to me. Get rid of the coach, make a couple roster moves, and compete.

Vegas doesn't exactly have a star studded line up. They are a well coached team.

Grabner, maybe. Nash? Is there a market for guys who can almost put it in the net 5 times a night?

There is a big market for a guy who will score 20-25 goals at his worst. Teams making a push, teams looking to add a piece for their run will want him, sliding in Nash in a top 6 where he is a support player is where he will excel. He doesn't exactly have much talent to work with.

As a European who has been regularly going to sporting events with 60,000 people in the arena where we go and leave (usually in a fairly orderly fashion), I'm a little confused, but love Neeson regardless

Well, his two answers to what draws him to hockey are two non-hockey things, that's as good of an answer as he could improvise.

Team looks like they have give up. As if they know major changes are coming. Absolutely no effort. Why try if there are rumors that you will be traded in a couple of weeks? I could be wrong, but I believe the Brooks rumor.

And we will get another post game where our star players like McDonagh and Lundqvist look disgusted to be part of this team.

Hopefully Buffalo goes CRAZY on Evander Kane and price out buyers who will then turn to Nash.

Such a good player. People loved to make jokes about his fitness level, but when he was with the Leafs and trying to carry that team, with the unreal expectations on him, I heard from friend of a friend that Kessel always scored very highly on fitness tests, near the top of that team (so yeah, we don't know the level of that team at that time). The point I am making is that I always liked Kessel and I like his game too, and that I think he got a bum rap about fitness. He always worked his ass off for the Leafs.

Yeah..Although he may look like a putz physically, there's no denying he's got some wheels and hands..

Oh yeah they are toast.

I’m saying no possible moves have been remotely confirmed besides the echo chamber.

AV should’ve been canned after the Ottawa series. Gorton’s moves have always been about turning back the clock a bit and adding youth and skill

JG is the worst GM in the game and it's not even close.
He's regressed further in each year he's been GM thus far IMO..
