Player Discussion Mika Zibanejad

Mika is a DJ in his spare time, Trouba is a painter in his spare time. Im sensing a pattern among the team's leadership.

Which brings us to the next topic. NYC.

Yes. It’s harder to win in New York. More distractions. More motivated opponents.

I wish the Rangers had a coach that would have the guts to scratch him.

I wish we had a player on our club that would have the balls to speak out on his play every game . If enough did this he might want out sooner rather than later . This is what needs to happen . It cannot go on . It will need to be Trocheck that does this . I don't see anybody else .

True.

Dolan is an idiot for not moving the team to a place that is devoid of amusement/ability to do cool things with your free time.

Bring the Rangers to the Meadowlands.

Gosh, I was that guy.

I am still not entirely sure how I feel about it. I know teammates respected my compete level and knew I always had their backs. But I also felt like they hated me a little (or a lot).

I can say with some certainty they did things with more zest to avoid me targeting them during a game with a comment or tirade. But I still wish I didn't need to go there in the first place. To be fair, if I was mailing a game in, I wanted to be informed about it in the same direct fashion. I certainly did not want to be the one dragging the entire rest of the team down.

It didn't always feel great. But I reckon it can't be all bad. I captained many of the teams I played on, often by player vote.

What was your highest level of hockey? I'm just asking out of genuine curiosity, not mocking you or discounting your post.
