Kitchener Rangers 2024-25 Season Thread, Part I

[Ref Hannah]

Rangers need to tank the season so they can get a good solid center in the draft to support a Mem Cup run.

Parsons starts, Stark draws in. 10 forwards 7 Defenders

Running Parsons and Schaubel for the final game all but confirms Kitchener sees the future in Schaubel over Edwards.

Thought Lam and bottineau had a good showing tonight.
Played half the game with 5 defender after Schneider and Macniel got in a fight (might have broken his nose)
Hlacar was looking for a fight on every shift
*Another goal for Weston Cameron

Was at the game. Saw Mac Neil after. Didn’t look any worse for wear. Saw him telling someone he got cut by the Bulldog’s players fingernail.
Pretty decent game against a quality squad. Think Stark has more value up front, but apparently that ship has sailed. No backing down from anyone when things gets physical. Nice to see from a young team. Lam with some amazing dangles. Thought he was our best player up front.
On to the games that mean something!! Go Rangers!

 

[Rangers True Blue]

You would think that the Blues would want more for Kos and his development. This current situation seems like a waste to me. He would benefit far more here in Kitchener where he would get more playing time, learn a ton from the coaching staff, and get acclimatized to NA hockey. There's certainly opportunity here.

I've read that some feel that Adam Jiricek could be sent by the Blues to Brantford, which I find interesting.

Might the Blues have given Kos a choice between NA hockey or back home in Europe? Based on the strength of that Slovak league, and the icetime he’s getting, certainly the Blues could flex their muscles a little and have him sent to Kitchener where he’s play top six minutes.
