I noticed that. It was early on in the game. It was pretty eye-catching. So glad him and Pionk are already improving at the major league level.

I love what Namestnikov and Spooner bring, and I like the effort level that's there despite a rebuild.
The next few years are really tough, and I don't want the Rangers to be one of those eternally rebuilding teams and develop a loser mentality. I want guys that help the young guys come along and show them the right way.
That defense needs a lot of work, but it has some potential.
Hank is Hank. I wonder just how much worse the record would be without him.

The cap is going up and none of those guys will be too expensive. If they want to keep all 4, they should be able to.
However, if you're getting rid of one based on the quality of player, it's pretty easy. Vesey is a step below the other 3.

I mean, that's just stupid. Trying to get a good draft position or not, losing the season on 26 straight losses would basically destroy all of these players.

His dad played for the Canucks, Islanders and Predators from 93 until 2000. He moved back to Russia in 2001 when Vlad was 7. Being bilingual can be a great asset in bringing in Russian kids. We also have Buch but I think Vlad is going to be very valuable to this team.

Sadly, a lot of people don't watch the NHL. Some people follow by numbers, and some people just watch the Rangers.
Some people also hear a name like 'Vladislav Namestnikov' and assume he speaks broken english and will be like like Zherdev. Hah...

Can somebody in upper management please inform the new roster members of the ongoing Tank. I mean who do they think they are scoring goals, and winning OT games?

He just won the AHL fastest skater competition with 13.663 as his time. He definitely has wheels.

Barring a serious life event, or otherwise, what would make you just stop watching your team for six straight weeks?
I mean, I know they sucked for a while, but do people just give up or stop watching their favorite sport/team just because they lose?
Hopefully not.
Actually, get outside of the northeast and areas where teams are generations old, most "fans" stop watching and regularly following teams when they suck.

Well,
Sometimes the motivation just isn't there. I've missed a bunch of games recently due to my travel plans and not wanting to stay up until 4 AM when I have to give lectures during the day for work.

We'd easily be in Coyotes territory, no doubt--something like 10-12 under .500

The only times I do not get to watch are when I pass out or when I'm stuck at work/other obligation that surpasses it but even then I try to mobile stream/listen. I am a freak though

Stupid???
lol ok
They're pros and theyve done PLENTY of losing this whole season. Destroyed??? Easy there drama queen.
Suffering through this season and picking 10th would be stupid. Suffering through this season and NOT drafting elite talent would be stupid. Winning a few meaningless games JUST CUS is stupid.
Jesus. What do you think is going on here????

I've been following this team for 46years old since I was 4 years old. There have been some lean years, but I've watched probably about 90% of their games since then. I could never stop watching them no matter how frustrated I have felt.
Honestly though, I was going through the motions while watching them this year. This team was going nowhere and I had no fun watching this lifeless team.....until the letter from Management. Since then I have felt rejuvenated. Finally a proper rebuild. Plus I enjoy watching the kids and new guys play. No more of the likes of Holden. Looking forward to the end of AV and his staff, the draft, and the future.
I haven't been watching as much this year and last partly because of being a parent and partly because the team has been nigh unwatchable at times. Have started watching several games and then stopped as the Rangers sucked it up and I had to take care of other things.
It's tough to be like "yeah I'll watch everything through thick and thin" when you have other stuff that needs to get done and the product is pretty bad.
At any rate, the Rangers defensive system is just a damn mess. A bunch of new and young players doesn't help but this really is going to be AV's downfall in the end. It's a damn disaster every time they have to try to stay in position and defend against a cycle

I hope this rebuild makes a team that doesn't need Hank to make saves like he did last night. I want a team so good he can have a cup of coffee while being back there. I am sick of watching a team have to have a goalie bail them out every two minutes.

Sorry to trigger you by calling your stupid point stupid.
I'm aware they're trying to get the lowest pick possible while also being cognizant of the fact that losing 26 straight games would not be good for anyone involved, including the kids we're trying to bring along.
