Rangers’ Mika Zibanejad looks nothing like himself in turnover-plagued outing

Games where Mika Zibanejad has not resembled himself have piled up this season.

Lol the Canes had like 10 minutes of almost non stop powerplay and couldnt score

 

[Ben Grimm]

I was so into the MLB and WNBA playoffs that I forgot to post my pre-season predictions but I still stand by them. The Oilers and Stars will meet in the WCF and the winner will lose to the NYR in the 7th game of the SCF.

Tough loss

Drury should be all over this. Like all over this.

Schneider for Jiricek

Schneider for Jiricek

I know this is a good proposal, because I keep wavering between 'not a chance' and 'in a heartbeat'.

Someone go wake him up

McDavid with 1000 points in 659 games, 4th fewest of all time.
For comparisons, Gretzky did it in 424 and Crosby in 757

Devils 3/5 on the PP against the Cats.
Have we even had 5 PP total in the last 5 games? Another reason why we suck, we draw no penalties

Skating hard is a prereq for penalties being called in your favor. That's not a strong suit for this Rangers team.

Would rather miller for Jiricek.

Maybe even get CLB to throw in a a 2nd rd pick.

Let him be someone elses problem, and it will help our cap situation for next year.

I'd consider Schneider for Jiricek and Miller for a young center prospect and a young LD who plays a steady game if they could get them.

NJ has completed 1/4 of their season already. Insane.

Young center prospects are very hard to get. I suggested the Rangers should have traded for Kupari as C depth when he was still with LA. A young C prospect higher ranked than that takes a serious trade to shake lose - and those hardly happen anymore.

i'd take a look at Peyton Krebs if he became available.

THIS!!! It's the easiest thing to point to in terms of beating the Rangers...Stay out of the box and force them to play 5v5.

Yes there are other weaknesses to exploit but this is a no-brainer which Florida also successfully used against us in the playoffs.

 

[effen]

If Jiricek was any good, Jack Johnson and Erik Gudbrandson wouldn't play over him.

Schneider is better bet to be better, too.

We dont draw penalties cause no one ever drives to the net. Fancy skating around the perimeter just makes you tired.....

Right. , a 26% power play might look good on the surface but it’s not very useful when you get to see it only once or twice a night
