Is it me or is E. Staal undergoing some Benjamin Button effect?
 
Go get the coach that the perennially inept Florida Panthers threw out into the parking lot after firing him. The guy that took the expansion VGK to the Stanley Cup finals in their first season.
 
Can GM's bench a coach for a game or two to send a message? Serious question, has that happened?
 
Our best player on this line is constantly the one trying to start the play as the last guy back. We're not going to see this line be successful if that continues.
 
Quinn deserves all the Johnson hate and that has its own myriad negative effects, but he's not making them not skate in curves, be butter soft on the puck, or angle themselves off and make themselves incredibly easy to defend. Feels like a lot of guys waiting for others to initiate. An entire forward group minus 4th liners and Buchnevich sitting back and reading the play and oh whoops its going the other way

Soft.
Team lacks leadership.
 
Do you have a better idea? One hundred percent of inept NYR head coaches during the 2021 regular season say it’s the best defensive strategy.

Well the david quinn thread tells me its not his fault and its just coincidence that the teams 6 best players and 4-5 others are underachieving. As are the PP and PK.

Just bad luck for Quinn. Not his fault.

It could be a long year. Still real early, but we’re so out of sync.

A lot of our guys look like they’re taking the year off. Maybe some of them didn’t want to play this year. Fox, Buch, Howden, Miller and Chytil have been bright spots. Everyone else looks really rough. KK has looked nice too. Laf needs confidence.

Strome clearly doesn’t cut it as a 2C. He caught lightning in a bottle last year (contract year... go figure) but he doesn’t belong. I defended Trouba all last year and still respect that he takes tougher minutes and I really want to like him but 8M just sucks. Since getting here I’m not even sure he’s been a 5.5M guy. I think that contract is gonna hurt worse than Kreider, who is coming on slowly and is what he is. I expect him to age well enough.

But god, do we need another center, especially with Chytil out.

Yup. Not this year, but at some point, the Rangers are going to have to make a deal for a C. It’s not going to be fun dealing away some of these young studs, but it’s going to come to it. I just hope the Rangers don’t wait until they lose half their value after “evaluating them”. Sometimes you gotta take a leap of faith.
