Actually...that smell is the burning of cards as MM continues to mis- manage. Several are going down. He’s really in a bind now. Nobody wants to trade. We now officially have the smallest 4th line in the league. "BATTLE BUILT" my ass!

Several have also asked to be traded. Two have asked for a full release from the team. DigiRomano and Rangers08Lam can give us the locker room scoop?

Wow it’s been so long since your negativity has been around, welcome back!

Who’s the two if you’re so willing to put that out?

A ton of scoring chances last night but no finish. Need to quit looking for the perfect shot or pass. Get the puck to the net and have someone there to screen and go after any rebounds. PP must get better with less repetition. Soo gave them plenty of opportunities but Rangers didn't capitalize. Saying all that, it was great to see Parsons get yet another shutout. He's dialed in for sure.

Jussi heading back to Finland for a family matter. Be interested to see how the team plays while he is gone.

Ellis had another solid game last night. The Smurf line had some solid chances.

Campbell with another great game.

Parsons solid……again.

Antsis must be a little ticked. I imagine he was under the impression at the start of the season he had a spot on the team. I was really looking forward to watching the 2008 play and see what he looks like. This does mean we have another A card to fill if we can get someone. Bilecki is on an A card. Shaubel is getting close and unless we make a goalie move he will probably take a card. That leaves 2 more. Headrick is the only other signed option that might get an A card. So 100% we have an A card available for a 2008 player. There are some players I’d really like to see signed so hopefully that will happen in the weeks to come.

But a great way to slow things down. That wasn't even remotely interference. Also, I'd like to see that supposed offside. Took them long enough to find something that implied it was.

I thought during the play it was close as to which team played the puck back into the Soo zone while ranger players were still inside the blue line. I was unsure in game at speed but knew it was close. They showed one replay where a player on each team had their sticks near the puck right in front of the Ranger bench.

I had no problem with it being overturned, appears the correct cal was made. I did have a problem with the linesman calling the refs over to look at it as opposed to the other liney. That's a linesman call.

I had no issues with the outcome of the two reviews, but not sure why they need to take so long. The second one should have been a 10 second review.

I've been critical of Campbell, but give him credit, he has improved a lot this year. Still a lot of chaos in his game, but far fewer turnovers.

The second one should have been the one to take some time. The first one was an attempted and successful extended timeout of the Soo.

I liked what I saw in Anstis in the spring camp. Was really looking forward to seeing him this year too.

Rangers need work on the PP. They cycle pucks around the zone on the outside. Just don't create and decent looks. Two 5 minute power plays in two games and flupped both.

Anyone notice Swick didn’t play the 5 minute PP? Did he get injured on the same shift that Campbell got injured?
 
Next weekend will be interesting with no Chromiak and Campbell. MacNeil on the PK, maybe Bilecki with some PP2 time?
 
Guaranteed Martin will get a number of games. Campbell looked concussed. It's an issue the league takes seriously. Rangers played a solid game against a big skilled squad in the Spits. Even the water bug Lam line was effective. Amazing goal by Swick in the shoot out. He must pop them in practice if they go to him in actual games. Spits are solid. If they were to add at the deadline they could be dangerous in the playoffs.

I know this isn't directly Rangers related, but if 2 USHL teams join in the same year would that push a team like Guelph to the Eastern Conference?
