Based and Rangerspilled.
Did we get Nylander yet? I’ll give Toronto ADA, Skjei and Pionk. Let them figure it out.

It's really about teaching the kids how to make everyone around them better players.

No one we've had in the past 5-6 years has been good at making Marc Staal look better....
My bad. I just read it as providing you with an evaluation and then you dismissing it. I was guilty of over reacting and for that I apologize....
High Danger chances were 28-10 in favor of NYR.
Literally almost 3-1. 28 HD chances in a 60 minute game is so absurd.

How long has this been a Ranger problem?
No Finish.
Almost equivalent to the NYJ not having a QB... maybe things are about to change..

It's all so tiresome
If they continue to generate chances as they have been they will score. They won't shoot less than 6 percent at 5v5 most likely

I'm not really disappointed with the play of the team as a whole, honestly. They're 11th in xGF%....somehow. That doesn't pass my eye-test at all but what the f*** do I know?
Point is, the analytics are way in better (in a small sample) than AV hockey.
It's individual players I'm disappointed with.
Kreider isn't driving play. I expected Buchnevich to take huge strides away from AV; he's worse somehow. Don't get me started on Brady Skjei. Chytil has played extremely well and deserves better, but he just isn't scoring. Zuccarello has been the opposite of Chytil - he's been very meh but he's pulling points out of thin air. I wish ADA were playing.
But like I said, the team analytics are better, so who's doing that? Smith, Shattenkirk, and Zibanejad have been solid, and like I said, Chytil deserves better. But the real surprise? Vladislav Namestnikov is driving play like Patrice Bergeron.
Of course, all of this is over a small sample.

Well, if we substituted him in for Vesey this season, he would be tied with Matthews in goals.
edit- He's a finisher. We need finishers desperately

It's not a quantum leap when 10 games in the Rangers have 0 regulation wins, have 40% of their games scoring fewer than 2 goals, have two players tied for the team lead in points with 6( fewer than some players have goals in this league) genuinely don't make good passes to each other and have shown, at best, spurts of offense during games. Offensive production is a measure of skills possessed by the roster. Currently, this team has nothing more than hopeful possibilities.
Maybe this could improve after sometime but 10 games in and we've seen nothing out of many players. I don't think this will all of a sudden change substantially. Hockey does not work like that.

Outside of last night and the Carolina game, I think all the games have been one-goal games, and the Carolina game was close to about the 45 minute mark. They've been losing the games from a few bad stretches within games when their structure and discipline broke down and the opposition capitalized.

Right and when we have good stretches, we haven't scored.
I know people will say that's because we just can't finish, and look, maybe we can't.
But there's a big difference between a bad finishing team and shooting way below what any NHL team has ever shot over a whole season. The Rangers are the latter right now.

They had the 4th highest shooting percentage in the league just two seasons ago and the highest in the league the season before that. So...one season?
Over the last three years total they have the third highest so they've been almost the MOST efficient team at finishing in the league.

From 14-15 through 16-17, the Rangers had the highest shooting percentage by some distance and scored the most goals at even strength. (Yes, the most)
They were very recently the best finishing team in the league.
People always think their team can't finish, just like everyone thinks their team can't score on backups.
Was the only thing they excelled at under AV.
This team was in the bottom 10 in Goals scored last year and have only subtracted from that # though. There shouldn't be any surprise that this team is having trouble putting pucks in the net so far this season. They may go through a stretch or 2 where they're scoring more, but I wouldn't expect it to become common.

What about saves+shots that missed the net completely?
I mean its a pretty subjective stat as it is but 28 is a very, very large number for one game. 14 is a bunch for one game, and they doubled that.

If you rewatch much of the second period and parts of the first period, the Rangers virtually never touched the puck for extended periods of time and were playing defense for many stretches. This has been true for all of the games so far and minus Herculean efforts from Hank, this team would be giving up hoards of goals too. Last night the game was still in question in the first and second and when the Flames were competing at their most. In the third, when the game was well in hand for the Flames, the inevitable let down occurred and the Rangers were able to get some momentum back. I’m strugglig to see the game in such a positive light.
I’m very patient, and I’m still supporting the team( I’m going to the game tomorrow and rooting hard for a win.). My issue with what I keep reading after every game is the pie in the sky approach some are taking— looking for “development” and “competative efforts.” This is the NHL. Development has its place and players will get slightly better, but this is not college or junior hockey where players actually develop. Players who need development are in lower level hockey. By the time players reach the NHL they basically are “developed” in my mind. I struggle to see how many on this roster will ever develop to beyond low end NHL talent or high end AHL talent.
I’d rather people just call it like it is. This roster is not designed to win and, while that leaves us with little else to root for but “development,” people need to see the reality on the ice.
Trading guys like Grabner and Miller really hurt them in the team's finishing ability.

I'm not sure it's supposed to be a subjective stat. If it were I think that 28 goes to about 14.
