Kitchener Rangers 2023-24 Off-Season Thread (Part 1)

[Matttheleaf]

Cant be giving up late goals like that. Felt like that was a cross check in front of the net before though.

 

[RangerNation]

Better than I expected so far. Rangers have been playing a lot of hockey so being tied after 2 against London is a win in my books.

 

[bobber]

Almost as hard as it is watching most of our game.

Lucky to be tied. I’ll take it

When the Knights drive pucks in deep like to see the Rangers hustle in and move it quicker. Also losing that face off cost them the last London goal. Getting beat on the dot. Rangers held the lead twice. Still came away tied after two periods. Keep it close anything can happen.

Anyone know where one can find a complete list of draft eligible players?.....for free?

OHL usually put out big information guide the day of the draft

 

[blkhawk]

Holy f*** now i have seen it all

I may be completely dumb and don't know the rules but Parsons goes to push off the post and knocks the net off which I'm sure threw Parsons off as he didn't get the push he was expecting and than London puts it in which I agree would have went in but how is that Parsons fault the net came off.

It’s also about the second or third time that it has happened on that specific net, same side. They should be checking that peg.

Exactly that's what I mean if he did intentionally than yeah it's a goal but we should have about 5 penalties tonight for delay of game. Maybe we should drill the holes a little shallow in London's end in game 3 and 4 lol.

I give up. When you have calls like that goal what chance do you really have.

Only happen in London with Hunter barking at refs.

 

[rangersblues]

Fill the net!

Only happen in London with Hunter barking at refs.

Hunter's like Don Corleone. He carries the refs around in his pockets like nickels and dimes.

That looked like a powerplay in the preseason no urgency at all

 

[Krangers08]

I wonder if that goal would have counted if they didn’t switch it too the ref having the final say.

I wonder if that goal would have counted if they didn’t switch it too the ref having the final say. Before the playoffs

Couldn't have. And shouldn't have counted even with the change. And why would you make such a drastic change that could effect the game right before the playoffs anyway.

Screw job plain and simple

 

[blkhawk]

You would think with how great everything London is according to their fans they would know how to secure f***ing goalposts .Both end have been bad

 

[robertmac43]

Sale hits the post in heartbreaking fashion.

 

[Matttheleaf]

Even if the puck goes by the post hole, the post is bigger and may have deflected the puck out and not in anyways, so I don't see how you can 100% say that it would have gone in.

 

[robertmac43]

So frustrating to lose that one... Man

First time I remember a goal called like this. Hunter factor had to have helped that one. Rangers could have won this game with a little luck. They proved they can put them past Simpson.

London has a great penalty kill. Better defense than Erie. Rangers tried skating through them a few times and got picked off.

I've seen goals called like this a handful of times in the NHL (and I assume the OHL has a similar rule but I feel that this one was very close to call for a ref on an iPad especially).

Not like it really matters as he's a 4th liner, but does O'Reilly get any more games for that textbook blindside?

 

[bobber]

Rangers had a golden opportunity with a five minute power play which was brutal. Took a penalty during. You miss those opportunities against good teams you struggle to win.

Not like it really matters as he's a 4th liner, but does O'Reilly get any more games gor that textbook blindside?

Should get 4-5:games like every other player has recently.

4th liner?! I don’t think it’s suspendedable.

Sorry, 3rd liner, and I certainly think it is suspendable but won't be. Very dangerous hit on an unsuspecting player.
