Paul Carey keeping our PP conversion rate respectable.

Hank did something he hasn't always been able to do in his career. He gave up a terrible goal and shut it down afterwards. Kudos, proud of him. Also McDonagh was great in my eyes, agreed?

In his career? Lol.

Pretty sure he's given up plenty of bad 1st goals only to settle down and beast his way through the rest of the game.

I said not always, not never.

Grabner has been such a great signing. 27 goals last year and 13 already this year plus all the other stuff he does, all for a couple mil a year.

He is certainly on pace for another 20+ goal season, but I doubt we can resign him - he will ask for 4 mil $ + - hopefully Gorton can get another 1st for him.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

BTW, I'm not some super Zherdev fan but did anyone else think Al's "it did not propel him to greatness" comment was a low blow? He was the most exciting and possibly best forward on that 08-09 team.

 

[darko]

He can be a second or third or 4th liner on my team any day of the week

Exactly.

What a fantastic signing this guy was. Kudos to Gorton.

 

[Siddi]

Nash is done with us. We need his money elsewhere.

With the Nash and Staal contracts gone the Rangers could go all in on EK when time comes. He wont be signing with OTT again and NYC would be a great fit for him.

I said not always, not never.

Lmao, come on Snowblind.

"Hank did something he wasn't always able to do tonight: he got a shutout."

"Uh, Hank's had shutouts."

"I didn't say he's never had a shutout, I said he doesn't always get a shutout"

Idk, if EK is set on getting his value, he's gonna get a 12m+ AAV somewhere. We'd need to move more than just Staal and Nash to bring him in. That would be amazing though, could you imagine?

 

[Ori]

yeah, Grabner was a robbery for us - and if he return anything it`s a huge bonus and I wish him good luck.

To be honest, I don't remember the way he exited the team (I really should have a better recollection) but he was a very skilled player and he was doing things all us Rangers fans had been starved for seeing. I really wanted Zherdev to stick, just don't remember as I should what really happened. Was it a feeling that his defensive game was not where it should be, was it a line chemistry, or system thing?

 

[Crease]

Powered by Dijonnaise, Grabner, and Carey.

lol what no. He was just being frank.

 

[Ori]

Is Zucc injured since he was hit by a puck end of the last game? I just hope his old injury don`t hamper him too much. He looked off most of the last period.

I have a feeling that the allure of NYC can be enough to get him here with him leaving a couple of mills on the table. The Rangers have a young and exciting core and with him on defence Rangers would arguably have the best D in the league.

He didn't have a great playoff but I feel like his reputation doomed him. And as I said being poor in the playoffs didn't help.

And playing with countryman Hank.

And playing with countryman Hank.

Dont forget that he will also be reunited with another swede in Ziba who by then if all goes well will be a star 1C.

 

[Bob Richards]

If I've learned anything, its that if a Carolina goalie goes brick brained and gives up a bad goal, then Paul Carey is also scoring that game.

 

[Leonardo87]

Damn. Sucked I missed this one. Awesome job Grabs on Hat Trick. Have to bring him back next season. Last year was not a fluke.

 

[Ori]

Is that good or bad for us that AV used the 4th line on the last PP - 2 goals in 14 is not encouraging for me, and we should have better options in the minors.

Regarding Zherdev, look at these highlights. I think there may be one forwarded as talented as him on our roster now in Buchnevich, maybe Zibanejad and Nash (definitely Nash of a few years ago). Zherdev gave me possibly the best memory at MSG, that last goal that he scored in that video against the Pens was a game I went to. Now that I think of it, it's probably that neanderthal Torts that ran him out of town.

Still got my Zherdev jersey.
