Also, we don't have "character" players and that is why we probably don't have a captain named. To be clear, we have "game breakers", or "heroes", if you like, that can take the puck and score the overtime goal. But the "character" players we are lacking are the ones that say, "We are down by 4 goals. Let's do this! Let me show you how!"
MAHGA. Make a Hunter goal again!
That's a thing in hockey rinks?....
Campbell is injured. Rangers are screwed on D.
The best team he ever built here was the 17-18 team. That was a physical team.
Thought it was the start of things to come. That team could match any other team's physicality. It's not about fighting though its more of being able to play a grinding type of playoff hockey where your opponent has some respect. When the small players on the opposing team chirp your bench without fear you know where the series is going.
Secure may be the wrong word, just feels like the net is being knocked off super easy.
I mentioned earlier that I listened to Kypreos’ podcast and he had goalie coach Steve Valiquettte on and one of the things that he said was that when a net comes off, it’ll keep coming off easier and easier unless rink staff come out with the drill and drill out the hole and reset it properly. Goalies know this as do on ice officials. Goalies are taught to use this to their advantage if they want to. Officials should be calling for the rink staff.
Apparently the drill guy was found bound with gorilla tape in behind a boiler after the game.
Rangers were screwed on D post trade deadline if their goal was a deep playoff run.
Lots of comments about the Rangers playing soft and having no push back. They either push back or they don't. We can only watch. My hope for the future is that the old boys club let's Jussi dictate the type of team he wants. Not one handed to him on a platter. Read he likes speed. Not sure if he likes sandpaper. Hope so.
In any post game interview I’ve heard this season, Jussi has never condemned or been critical of his players getting into fisticuffs. In fact, he’s always voiced his approval.
Just scanning over the draft and there weren't a lot of bigger guys taken. Most were 145 to 155 lbs. I know they're 15 year old kid s but....
Watching video of Jacob Xu he looks like he could turn into a physical type defenseman if he committed. Edward is a real throw back stay at home type. If you go near the Knight's net you pay. He even gives crosschecks to opposing players after the whistles just for good measure.
Not at all. Like cowbell the OHL needs more Dale!
We were only in a rebuild year if we sold off our older assets as many thought would happen but didn't. If we kept everyone I think most would have said middle of the pack, which is exactly where we are.
Xu along with Bilecki look to be the best two D we’ve taken in the draft.
