Post-Game Talk: Flame Broiled

There are about ten guys I keep:

Fox, Schneider, Miller x2, Panarin, Shesterkin, Cuylle, Rempe, Trocheck, Laf

Everybody else and I mean everybody else, can go!
I’d happily keep Carrick and Borgen (assuming they are playing in appropriate roles).

I’d take out Laf, he’s turned back into the Laf we all know too well. Starting to think the trade rumors and upcoming contract negotiation were his real motivations for last years performance.

Would also look to move Fox before the rest of the league realizes he isn’t a top 5 D. Still view him as a good to very good D, but no where near the elite rep he’s garnered.
 
I’m in favor of going full measures here. Drury should fire Laviolette and coach the rest of the way. Play Rempe and Cuylle 25 minutes.

The Rangers Roster: Trying to set lines and matchups themselves mid game.

Chris Drury and Chris Kreider on the bench:

Keep tanking for bottom 13. Imagine rooting for them to make the playoffs when you know they would get swept in 4 vs any playoff team.

Root for a overhaul in the offseason. That starts by missing the playoffs and keeping a good draft pick.

Igor the only player worth a damn. The rest of them sucked shit.
And this is why it's silly for people to blast Igor and defend fox. Igor has a bad night and this team has no chance. The team needs him or quick to be above average or elite to have a chance to win. Meanwhile fox continues to decline and people keep making excuses for him. Newsflash is that even when fox wasn't playing well the team could and did win games over the years bc of Igor. Igor is just fried from the pressure of needing to be perfect. Henke went through this as well. He would talk about how much pressure he put on himself knowing the team could only score a couple goals a game and that if he gave up 1 or 2 he knew the team was in serious trouble. It's the same situation now and it is insane that this team is as bad defensively as it is. It's unacceptable. Housley should be canned as the sacrificial lamb already and then just relieve lavy at the end of the year. It's unwatchable
 
I still don't understand trading for Parmesean, a guy we apparently wanted - who plays center, and then not playing him at center....
I mean the guy was a throw in for two UFA’s so like, clearly Colorado didn’t think that highly of him….

But the Rangers won’t know what they have on him with Lavi as the coach. so until that changes I’m not expecting much

There are slightly more pressing problems and things to focus on than some nebulous draft pick due 15 months and a whole ass other season from now. Stop.
 
Drury is going to extract the teeth this summer. No GM is coming here to do that dirty job. Dolan could very likely off him after that but I haven’t minded the heavy hand with these pampered vets. And I like the culture that’s been build in Hartford among the rookies.
