Oh Batherson

Lafreniere+Schneider for Batherson.

 

[Shadowtron]

Does anyone LIKE Lafreniere?

I’d launch him directly into the sun. Can’t stand the kid.

Kaliyev was really good that period.Smith and Vesey with 2 horrendous breakaway attempts.The D still can't defend a rush to save their lives.Joe M getting on Laf for his lack of effort was refreshing,but won't change anything.

Miller's legs are fine, the rest need some help. I'm most disgusted by Kreider who by all accounts is gonna play next week, so I guess he isn't injured? He just sucks now?

Yep he will play. Meaningless tournament maybe he impresses some people to raise his trade value but Durry will probably just trade someone in their early 20's instead.

 

[CasusBelli]

Lafreniere+Schneider for Batherson.

I would take that all day long.

Fun thought: think Laffy vs Timmy today vs on draft day.

 

[17futurecap]

Vally going to need a blood pressure check after these 24 hours.

Does anyone LIKE Lafreniere?

one of my least favorite rangers in a long time

alex daigle 2.0

 

[DialUp]

Unlikely to happen but even less likely with this staff. The jolt from a new coach should get us that little short run kick at least.

A new coach would be more for next year. Doing it now is fine. Though i now have zero expectations for the playoffs next year.

These Montefiore commercials are so depressing. I know they are supposed to be inspirational, but they just make me sad.

I already watch the Rangers... Why do they have to kick us while we're down?

 

[Shesterkybomb]

Does anyone LIKE Lafreniere?

I do...imo though he's a follower he needs to be his own player thats why I want him to play with Miller and Cuylle, make those guy change his habits, he's basically mirroring Panarin at this point, that's not the player he has always been. He's been more of the Miller type than the Panarin throughout his career

 

[Leonardo87]

lol Rangers and Anaheim both suck. Thanks Vally! Lol

 

[bl02]

The best part of Ranger hockey is watching Vally. At least he is somewhat honest

 

[LokiDog]

Apparently he’s very popular in the room. Like in a fun / funny way. Which is great. But I could do without the clowns.

Which is the exact vibe I get, except I’d really love if you proved a bit more before becoming the locker room jester.

 

[Siddi]

2 game winning streak. A dominating 1st line but then Lavi had to change everything up last game....

 

[gabevh3]

It was all Bread man. Same as Rust and Kunitz with Crosby. Another case of a superstar making two bottom sixers look like a top six forward.

Are you saying bread didn't want him traded?
Besides.. i doubt they would trade Brady for Laf

 

[zlev]

laviolette is trying to get fired with these lines right?

 

[lakeshirts37]

This is not an airport no need to announce your departure.

Yeah youre right smartass… its a message board about *checks notes* the Rangers.

 

[Matt Rentfree]

I’d launch him directly into the sun. Can’t stand the kid.

Your avatar suggests that you'd launch him to the moon. Just sayin'

 

[effen]

Lafreniere+Schneider for Batherson.

I too would like to trade 80c for a dollar.

 

[Cmox]

Vally going to need a blood pressure check after these 24 hours.

Vally is done, haha.

 

[CasusBelli]

So it’s a problem since October. You’re saying it’s systematic. Could it be the system? And who implements and is accountable for the system? Hmmm …

 

[IronBloodedLion]

Traded the wrong winger. Kakko had his struggles, but outside of that game in Nashville I never questioned his effort.

I’ve been very hesitant about wanting to trade Lafeniere, but I’d be a-okay showing him the door.

 

[Jack Hanson]

I think Im ready for a lobotomy

 

[ReddestRum]

Laf getting called out in the intermission report is music to my ears.

We're the same team with the same problems. Still wishing we can stop blaming our goalies for not stealing games that can't ever be stolen with the lazy, unenthused players in front of them.

 

[Leonardo87]

Vally is done, haha.

I just heard that. I think a lot of us will be done if they lose this game.
