there was a mainboards thread on Zegras being overrated so I thought there was some weight to the remarks about it, lol

It's all good, he is one of my favorite players in the league now, love the fact his family are Rangers fans and he is like 5 miles from my hometown. What he is doing on that putrid team is remarkable.

He'll be a Ranger eventually

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

Now THAT is unimpressive and overrated.

 

[Leonardo87]

Honestly, would not be surprised, later in his career.

 

[haohmaru]

What's this? A picture of him looking at his stats in Vancouver of 1A in 6 games?

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

I can't wait for Zegras to hold out as a RFA demanding a trade to New York.

Forget the fact that we get an ultra talented player... all fans around the league would be triggered

So this summer?

Wouldn't shock me tbh. He's kind of a dick.

NHL Schedule is weird, 3 games yesterday, 11 today, and only 2 tomorrow.

Laf for Zegras straight up E5

The schedule is like this basically every week...it makes zero sense.

Pens absolutely choke at home. Lose to the Isles in OT.

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

Stars put up 10 on Buffalo

10 goals for Dallas? Let me see how many points Nils put up for that draft pick being improved.

And… he was a healthy scratch.

Great trade by Drury. Thank goodness he didn't trade the 2nd first rounder away.

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

Oilers beat the Bruins and McDavid has zero points

 

[duhmetreE]

Stars put up 10 on Buffalo

We have Buffalo next....

which means shutout.

lol
Yup

Fletcher GONE

 

[Boris Zubov]

Fletcher GONE

Why did they wait so long is the real question.

 

[Kaapo Cabana]

Why did they wait so long is the real question.

because firing him wasnt the plan

He did such a terrible job with the trade deadline that ownership just had to cut their losses ASAP

If you want to limit back to backs, this is one of the things that you're going to have to deal with. The weird one for me is not taking advantage of Sunday this time of the year. No Sunday night game. TNT has been taking games, but during the day. Kind of wish there was a big game each Sunday night after the football season ends.

Yeah this is the time where the NHL really needs to promote themselves between the Football and Baseball seasons. I see lost opportunities here, and if they really promoted the games like on TNT and abc can really get themselves out there better .

Agreed. Saturday's game vs Buffalo could have easily been a 1PM start on TNT or ABC or whatever.

He will be a Ranger when he's 35, has has a $10.5M cap hit, won 3 Cups with Anaheim, has a bad hip and the Rangers have to send (on paper) half of their roster to the AHL to accrue cap space to fit his cap number onto their roster.

You can thank the expansion cities for the moronic late Sunday afternoon start times.

NHL used to ALWAYS play Sunday nights. Used to be a Ranger staple.

A little more than 20 years ago, “fans” in non-traditional markets bitched and moaned about 7 PM Sunday starts. Something about weekends and kids and school and that nonsense. So, games were moved up to 5. Attendance didn’t improve, because that start time is a giant pain in the ass for people without “kids”. So games either became true matinees (1 PM) or disappeared completely from Sunday.

The NHL has also pretty much ceded Friday nights. The only league that really schedules heavily on Fridays is the NBA.
