I’m No Longer Here
After picking him in nearly every draft sim I did that year I feel like a proud papa of sorts watching him right now haha, we’ve needed a guy like him for what seems like forever

I really like the potential of that line, tro is smart and shifty, wins draws and now he’s flanked by two giants, let them matchup and grind teams down while chipping in offensively

Nice to see the structure implemented by Lavy working. That will win games when the team isn't at its best.
I think Dahlin and Power must have been daydreaming about their bank accounts all night because they both were bad.
If Cuylie continues to improve, he will move himself into a top 6 role.
Lindgren should be wearing the C

Really upset we didn’t get to see Goodrow featured in the top 6. What a waste of his elite talent and veteran presence
Panarin-Chytil-Laf outchanced BUF 10-1 with an xGF% of 91%. Dominant. Crazy what happens when you play highly skilled 1st round picks w Fox/Panarin instead of 4th liners.

I'm happy with a win in October. But Trocheck lead all Rangers forwards in ice time. We're winning a Cup that way? Lafreniere and Kakko still not getting meaningful special teams time.
Detractors will look at TOI and see Laf and Kakko had a lot of PP time. That's because they were on the ice at the end of the game during junk time. During the meaningful times of the game they sat during special teams.
We have been down this road now for how many years. This is not sustainable. You want to win Cups you need to do things correctly. Having Vincent f***ing Trocheck lead your forwards in ice time while your 1 and 2 overall sit is not how you win Cups. Meanwhile in NJ, Hughes scores a PP goal. While having over 4 minutes of TOI on the PP last night. 4 minutes. On the top PP unit. That's how 1 overall picks are given opportunities to lead teams to success. Not by benching them for Vincent f***ing Trocheck. Bedard had 21 minutes TOI and over 4 TOI on the PP the night before. That's how you handle a 1 overall.
We beat Buffalo in October. I'm not going to let that gloss over the same issues that have been going on since the last two coaches and will ultimately cause this team it's failures, as it's done repeatedly.
When we play an actual good team and our 1 and 2 are underdeveloped and Trocheck is leading the way to failure, we know why.
There were some positives to take away from this game. There are negatives, the same exact ones from previous years.
We had a win where we didn't need Igor to do much of anything. That's.....different.

Feeling it
I thought he played a quiet but solid game.
The D was moving up with purpose. Schneider being on the right has to stay home a little more but we saw it from him as well.
Key stood out to me. He was like a forward for stretches of the game. He was throwing checks behind the net on the forecheck a few times.
His skating, range and length was very noticeable. I could see Housely being the perfect mentor for him too. Similar skillsets.

Undefeated when Trouba scores a goal.
Idk if you can attribute one play to a system but for me it’s Panarin on the first goal.
Under Gallant he stops at the blue line and looks for options or shoots it and coasts to the halfwall. Instead, he worked his ass off past two defenders to get his own rebound and pass it cross crease for the tap in.
Hustle play and simple hockey.

It’s not s flamingo but can this work?:
Bernard, Slaf, Power, Laf, Hughes all picked up a point in game 1. Dahlin didn't so broke the chain.Berard, Hughes, and Lafreniere
Based on Laf not scoring much I assume that's the first time in a while that that many 1OA in a row scored in their team's first game

If Lafreniere will just commit to playing that simple game and improve his physical presence he will be successful. When he engages physically he is effective

Great game for us. I was expecting better from the Sabres.....our top 3 lines were all solid and it helped a lot when Lafreniere got us on the board early. Lindgren--unsung hero of the game. All of the younger guys were really good. Dahlen with that Brad Park kind of submarine hit on Filip....but Fil seemed to bounce off of it pretty good.
Vally killed as well in the studio with comments and breakdown. Overall impressive by the MSG teams.

They don't make collars high enough to disguise that neck.
The AHL is a grind too, and he only got better as the season went on. I think he'll be fine.

Ok, so one fan still woke up miserable. At least give it a rest until after a loss.

Every forward had at least one shot. That's some pretty good balance, and it's good to see all of the kids putting the puck on net.

You sound pretty miserable. No one was "benched". You're choosing situations and words to exaggerate things that actually didn't occur. The gripe about 1 and/or 2 not being on the top unit can be legit, but no one was benched, and PP2 got time to work and it just didn't happen for that unit. PP1 got off at the 1 minute mark. PP2 still can't win board battles to retrieve pucks nor move it fast enough to set up some plays. Chytil does a Trouba at the point and that led to a penalty that ended a PP. You're just flat out wrong claiming they didn't get meaningful PP time.
He always had his feet moving and in great positions quickly, Tapping his stick looking for the puck and being assertive. He moved very well for a big man. Really nice to see and encouraging. His development looks fantastic. Kudus for Ranger coaching & development. They are criticized so often for it, unfortunately rightly too often, want to give them credit when its due.
Team defense didn't disappoint. Buffalo has tons of skill, and they were mostly smothered. Schneider just existing is absolutely fine. He's a 3rd pair young kid and we didn't lose the game. He no longer has to be better than his partner. What a miracle.
