Had to laugh at Quinn saying "people need to step back from the ledge of the George Washington bridge!
Didnt even say Brooklyn or Manhattan bridge. What a jerk!

So how long until ADA asks out? He seems to be a proud dude... almost too proud. I can only imagine he'll be sitting there fuming the entire game

Regarding the politics side of things, it's definitely not doing him any favors. Keep that shit to yourself, your family and friends. He needs to realize that as long as he wears a Rangers jersey he is representing them - for good or bad. If they don't want that kind of distraction then he needs to abide or else ask to be traded to a team that allows him more leeway in that regard if it's so important to him.

Of course and his amazing ability to win a faceoff to get the pp started on the right foot :sarcasm:

Its no joke, somebody, anybody needs to be proficient at it. Put such person on for every important FO, and then take him out if he's gassed from previous shift.
 
I would have to imagine we go on a 56 game winning streak here - and TDA does not see the ice for the entirety of the season...

No but really, what if we rip off a 10 game win streak or something? Is DQ really going to sit Tony for all 10 games haha? Thatd be hilarious

does anyone think that TDA is on the outs for a center but not someone like Dubois who I would love to have, but maybe someone who is not in the rumors but someone who would fit well here. maybe the guy like Barkov. who i don't think the Rangers are linked too but imagine Kakko learning from the fellow Finn

The idea that "they can't make any changes, it worked last game" is pretty logically flawed. Coach to beat the team in front of you, not the team in your rear view mirror.
If you have a box that has a 80% chance of having a $100 bill inside, and a box that has a 20% chance of having a $100 bill inside, are you really going to pick the 20% box again just because you got lucky on the last selection?

I feel like this is one of those things that has more to do with superstition and not wanting to be wrong than actually properly analyzing the situation. I don't see how to reasonably argue that the team has a better chance of winning without DeAngelo, other than "it worked last time" which isn't convincing.

Like your analogy. Or, plain and simply put "that would take balls", and being opened up to 2nd guessing, should they lose.
Which would be wrong on so many accounts.

1. He said his punishment was over. So, play him.
2. If he is worried about the press 2nd guessing him, he TRULY needs to be fired. You dont base your decisions on what others think.
3. Wouldnt be a bad thing to sit JJ. True he didnt play badly, but he shouldnt be overworked......he's hockey OLD. Lol.
4. Tony is just plain better, brings more to the ice, and GOD knows, our PP hasnt been clicking.
5. Again, dare I say.....had it been Fox/Lindgren/Panarin or any other significant Ranger......would he have benched him? Not entirely sure that he would have.

P.S. Players DO NEED to take into account no fans.......cussing at refs, slamming doors etc. ALL can be heard much easier, and 2 minutes to go with it. I mean, did you hear that door slam? Wow. Harder than his shot!

Strome stays on pp1 tho right DQ?

I can't wait for Laf to be on the right wall. Strome is the flagrantly obvious weak link on that unit

What did people expect? It was a given Georgiev would start and the lineup would be the same.
 
It’s really hard to ask a coach (even one I don’t like) to make changes after a 5-0 win that the advanced stats show was like our best game in 5 years. Even a win tomorrow doesn’t mean it will be that spotless. Tony and Igor will both be back on Friday I’m expecting.

Nah man, gotta change the lineup that ran a train on an eastern conference finalist from last year
 
Vince reporting that Buchnevich (Edit- may take) Strome's spot on PP1.

Very very good news, gives us dangerous shots from both sides of the ice now, and Buchnevich is just as good a passer.

Buch hasn't traditionally been a big scorer on the man advantage but I think this unit could really work.

Not losing sleep over Tony sitting again

Let’s try not to freak out like last game. People were saying the coach was throwing the game by sitting him and they clubbed the Isles

No need to go searching him out; there's plenty of constant drama about him, just on HF.

Listen, if you get off Twitter, don’t read the newspapers, don’t watch the TV/radio broadcast, and stay off the internet in general, only then will you be able to see what a swell guy Tony is.

No drama if you follow those steps exactly

And with relation to the Rangers, I don't care what his politics are, or how many fans he wants to challenge to fight.

I would probably think he's a douche in person, but that doesn't matter. I would consider a lot of athletes to be douches in person.

I would just love for him to have a quiet extra-curricular season, and kill it on the ice.

But we won in spite of that, not because of that. Sure ride the hot hand, no problem starting Georgiev over Shesty after the shutout. But going from Jack Johnson to the guy who was the 4th leading scorer among NHL dmen last season is a massive upgrade any way you slice it.

It’s really making me annoyed. As I posted my views in the roster building thread. Social media has killed a lot things. I never wanted to hear someones view from thousands miles away on TDA or anything. I was way more happier when I couldn't hear anyone’s views on anything. Now TDA if you ever been to his twitter has been legitimately harassed .. f*** the rangers twitter get crap even from rangers fans. It’s ridiculous I can always separate it but lots can’t. This is all so messed up. I just need to vent as one of the less vocal posters. I just wish people on all sides realize it’s not remotely worth it.
