I love all these pundits who seem to enjoy the Rangers woes but as soon as they’re back on top of the league they’ll be up our ass about how good it is for the game and how it’s a better NHL

In this vein idk if Copp is going to be the replacement for Strome cause they haven’t even tried to play him at center

So are they gonna hand out 5/6 million for ANOTHER winger? Seems unlikely
Why do the Rangers keep f***ing getting centers to not play them at center?

This goes back to Eric Staal.

And the guys they do play at center are terrible centers!!
 
Playoff hockey is a myth. It’s the same game. “Playoff hockey” “playoff experience” two of the stupidest things that are constantly repeated in hockey circles. You know why experienced teams win more than guys who aren’t experienced in the playoffs? It’s not because they’re experienced. It’s because in general they’re better which is why they’ve made the playoffs.

Yeah, I’m not talking about experience either. I don’t know why you’re forcing me to spell it out so explicitly for some reason - all I was saying was that all of our guys who play with a lot of grit, forecheck hard, finish their checks, and play a “playoff style” game are out of the lineup. If it makes you feel better that I say all of the guys who play a gritty game instead of playoff style, fine. The only thing I was trying to say, from the onset, was that all of the guys who are out or hurt are the guys who crash the net, forecheck, finish checks, etc.
 
His head is in the next DJ gig he's got lined up this summer.

Guy has not an ounce of "I give a poop" in him. He's too much of a hippie. We need some steak and potatoes men with drive to lead this team. Like Messier. Guy was a bull in a china shop and put teams on his back and carried them to championships.

Zibanejad goes home and brushes his hair while watching My Little Pony.
The fact he said on a podcast that he didn’t really want to play hockey and that his favorite sport is soccer should disqualify him from any sort of leadership role. Absolute milquetoast beta loser.
 
I feel like with Zibs you need a VERY strong 2nd line center. To me, it's fine if your 1st line center isn't as good as another as long as your 2nd line center is better.
I agree but Copp isn't that? With his concussion history I am not so sure he is that. Cost controlled decent non aging 2c don't come cheap unfortunately.

Honestly, I expected more than this but my expectations of a group of players with nearly zero playoff experience, a ton of players under 25, and their first trip to the dance in 5 years wasn't very high. Hopefully they can elevate and get past the rattles and make a series of it.
 
Think we could get Elias Pettersson for Panarin? Maybe we add a 1st to sweeten the deal?
