Concerned that the Panarin line is cooling off and no one else has heated up.
 
We’re a better team once kakko is replaced by Othmann. Or Berard or whoever. Feel bad for him but he’s been atrocious. We’re about to be better adding a replacement and Fox.

Hoping chytil isn’t far behind
I'd like to be leaving a more top end prospect in HFD for once maybe, but Kakko has been beyond disappointing for virtually his entire tenure in the NHL.

Chytill supposedly being back before Fox, absolutely no surprise despite Fox's extended time out that Fil will be back after him. His propensity to injury is a real issue going forward as @Machinehead & others have said.

Think that was a bit silly. He should save that for the locker room.
I think it’s a combination of two things.

1. He’s frustrated with his play. (Obviously)
2. I think he’s starting to sense the team plays differently in front of him. It seems like he hasn’t been getting the same effort/goal support when he’s in net which is probably on some level frustrating.

Six games in nine days including back to back afternoon games and the Sabres were humiliated their last game while the Rangers came off a dominant win over the best team in the league. That probably explains the late meltdown.

Mittelstadt having a career year. Shoulda drafted him or Necas instead of that baby Andersson. Oh well.

I don't mind not winning. I just hate how we lost that game. We played horrendously. A game like Vancouver had we lost that one, fine. At least act like you're trying to win.

The effort was bad in the 1st, but not the 2nd and 3rd.

For whatever reason the passing and stickhandling were horrendous.

Buffalo also played very well. There's a lot of talented players on that team.

I wouldn't be against jiggering the lines now that Kakko is out anyway. I liked Vesey-Zibanejad-Wheeler despite the missed chance.

Can Cuylle play the right? Kreider-Bonino-Cuylle would add an actual threat to that line.
 
Lundqvist's contract was $8.5m. Shesterkin would boil his agent alive if he came in at $8.5m.

I mean, not me. I wouldn't give a goaltender 8.5 dollars, but that's me. The Rangers would jump at signing Shesterkin to 8.5. I'm worried about 11-12m.

Lundqvist got paid after how many years of carrying this franchise kicking and screaming into the playoffs?

He got a Vezina before Henrik, so he has that going for him.
 
That game wasn't the worst but it was definitely a game from last year. We lost all the improvements we've made in breaking out and handling the puck cleanly. Couldn't string two passes together early in the game.

It was a Gallant start. Lazy, unengaged. And the Sabres did really well with sealing off the options on our zone outs and also muddied up the neutral zone. Some speed, like we showed after the 1st period, pushed them back and kept them honest. We controlled P2 and P3 honestly and we should have at least tied it regulation. The rob on Vesey was game, set, match.

The Wheeler goal was correctly waved off. Cuylle did direct the puck with his elbow. Technically not a hand pass, but you can't direct the puck with intent offensively by using anything other than your stick.

Actually this happened during the Obama administration when the NHLPA got absolutely Trouba'd to prevent another lost season.

The stars made out but the shit is hitting the fan on middle of the road players because everyone is up against the cap paying their stars.

Until you do everything with your skate except Lionel Messi that shit right into the net and they say "it's ok, he just redirected it."

I was just making a joke but you are correct that the world economy started tanking in 08

Idk how they can call a hand pass when his hand never left his stick but what do I know?
