Post-Game Talk: Preseason Game 2: 9/24 - New York Islanders @ New York Rangers - 7pm ET , MSG

[E-Train]

Sounds like Lindgren is out for a while.
Concussed in that fight?

Could be a jammed shoulder when he went to the ice

Probably targeting an opening night appearance for Lindgren but in the meantime gives us a lot more time to look at some other options.

Jones has a big opportunity in front of him to get more 5v5 time ahead of Lindgren. I'm not sure if there is anyone else in the organization that can jump into an NHL role on the left side currently, and that is a big issue. Scanlin and Robertson are the two guys that stand to see the time. Ben Harpur can never play for this team again. I guess Ruhwedel would get that first shot of playing, but someone has to move from the right to the left.

I hope Drury is monitoring who is getting put on waivers as camps wind down. A veteran LHD that can play will pop up. It seems to happen every season, especially since teams can find LHD easier than RHD.

sure sounds like it.

 

[NYR Viper]

Scanlin is the guy who I would actually like to see more of to see what the team has in him given Lindgren's injury. He's the most polished I think

 

[Oscar Lindberg]

We witnessed the greatest preseason comeback of all time.

Well, @Oscar Lindberg didn't.

Appreciate you rubbing salt in my wound lol

 

[RangersFan1994]

Panarin is historically awful in the playoffs but twirling to avoid contact is not a bad thing lol. Why take contact that you don’t need to take?

But if you turn over the puck, it's not a good time to do it

Robertson is day to day with a lower-body injury.

That leaves Scanlin, Harpur, and an off-side Ruhwedel.

Stock Up
Jones
Berard
Rempe
Edstrom

Stock Down
Othmann
Harpur
Ruhwedel

Agree with most but disagree on Berard, like his wheels but the puck is like a grenade on his stick right now

 

[EdJovanovski]

Sic Trouba and Lindgren on each other on the bottom pair. They've earned it

Ideally I would like them both playing 3rd pair minutes, Schneider should be above Trouba and Jones should be above Lindgren. However I think a Lindgren-Trouba pairing would be a disaster

 

[Hire Sather]

We're gonna miss Gus this season. Really gave us some depth with Jones as the 7.

Have no depth at all.. couple injuries to the defense can seriously derail the season.

 

[The Crypto Guy]

Season doesn't start for another 2 weeks. Ryan will be in the lineup.

Of course he will. And he’ll be starting the season beat to shit. Super jazzed for injured Lindy, ughhhhhHH.

Rarther him than…Mackay…

Another look at Lindgren's fight. He goes to fight Mayfield but only ever gets one glove off. His grabbing hand has the glove still on and it's not a very good grab. He was able to tie him up for a while but the bigger stronger Mayfield eventually twists and wrenches him into a takedown and that's probably where the injury comes from. He would have better just squaring off instead of rushing in but I don't think he was going to win that anyway. I don't think he threw one punch---he just grabbed and held on and I have to wonder what was the point?

He is a terrible scrapper....but certainly not a chicken like a few guys we have are . I'm glad he went at him and it tightens teams if they do it on a consistent basis .

 

[leetch99]

Rempe took positive steps. He still struggles with things an nhl player shouldnt. But there were positive signs as well.

That sounds like about 14 other Ranger regulars .
