Oldie but goodie .One of my fav gifs

I remember that. I LOVE THAT!!

Didn’t the fancy stats show them as being horseshit at the time of the trades?

Vaakanainen has always been just above replacement level and that's fine. His charts have never looked like a murder was committed.

Borgen was having a dogshit season but he's also had seasons where I'd go so far as to say he was downright good. The change of scenery seems to have him cooking again.

The key for both guys is they skate well, play a ‘stiff’ game and can effectively use both skating and passing to alleviate pressure. It makes a lot of difference

 

[Clark Kellogg]

30 wins & 6 regulation losses when he plays now, 6 games below .500 since his debut when he doesn't

Math doesn’t lie

This is what I mean. I don't need every player being an A+.

I'm fine with my "worst" players being D-. I just don't want my worst players being my test given back to me face down and my teacher telling me to "see me after class"

BorgEN and VaakanainEN

This is the EN
Beautiful friend
This is the EN
My only friend, the EN
Of our elaborate plans, the EN
Of everything that stands, the EN
No safety or surprise, the EN
I'll never look into your eyes again
Can you picture what will be?
So limitless and free
Desperately in need
Of some stranger's hand
In a desperate land

Say what you want about hockey skill, there is absolutely some magic Rempe brings to the room. I dont know what it is. He's such a goofy guy maybe it helps them relax. Lots has had to come together for this turn around, but its really hard to deny that he has a pretty profound impact on the team.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

Crazy how much Trouba and Kakko were clogging up this team. Chytil and miller look like different players without those 2 slogging players.

How dare you say anything negative about Kakko?

He brings magical timing to the team.

Rangers 4th line is the best its been since Boyle and Prust.

He will look intimidating in his Suomi varsity jacket

4th line should continue to feast on Colorado and canes soft defense at home

Did Will Borgen fix K’Andre Miller? Miller’s game has been getting better and better the last couple weeks and right now they look like a legit solid pair.

Braden and Urho have looked great together as well.

Adding Borgen and Vaakaninen has really stabilized the group.

Igor has gotten back to normal, too. He’s been dialed in. Make no mistake, he was just as culpable as the rest of the team towards the end of the slump especially. If this game was in December he would’ve given up 3 goals in the 2nd period alone, probably gives up a second goal in the first too. He’s been great and that’s exactly what we expect from him and what we need from him.

 

[egelband]

Borgen and Vaakanainen are honestly great examples of the " @Machinehead theory of team building" in that you don't need every player to be an all-star, you just need every player to not be complete horseshit on average lol

Need every player to be able to do something exceptionally. The best players will do multiple things exceptionally. But even the fourth liners in this team are playing exceptionally heavy and generating momentum.

just need a legit partner for Fox

Pettersson. Drury and Dubas have linked up on trades before. Lindgren + a pick or prospect?

that would work. would be insane for Drury to have acquired 3 serviceable D in the middle of the season

 

[Baby Duck Homme]

They gave reestablished an identity.

The Borgen Identity

Jason Borgen.

The G is silent

He has been proactive to fix his mess

The tank commanders are not happy…..

Me and my fellow lemmings will be vindicated come playoff time.

No 3 point games tonight is nice.

I’m always brought back to that video of him and Kreider from that charity event they did together in the summer. So many young guys come in and are so timid and afraid of being themselves whereas hes goofing off with and chirping the longest serving vet on our team after only playing a dozen games in the NHL

obviously a GM who doesn't f*** up in the first place is preferred but too many GMs in many sports just stick to their guns in fear of admitting they messed up so good on him for at least trying

now get JT Miller and dump Zibby (in separate trades) and this season/the future looks so much better
