You haven't negated what I said. Sather's fingerprints are all over the org. That doesn't mean everyone is a Sather guy. The recent hires are not Sather....

It needs to be completely gutted and people of merit need to be inserted. I don't care who hires them or who they are. Be good at your job.

No, you haven't supported what you've said. Who? The coaching staff, aside from Allaire who every organization in the NHL would hire within 20 seconds of being let go, and the entire scouting staff is completely new. The GM/President was hired by Sather way back when, but he's supplanted both of them in his role in which he was groomed for and isn't being influenced by anyone.

Sather is a relic that whispers in Dolan's ear when he's asked to. That's it.

I'm disturbed by the comments by GG, but that said, Lafreniere HAS to take ownership of not forcing the issue as he has been invisible often.

Which comment? I thought his media the last two days has been some of his best.

That rebuild was cut short in 2000


Development in practice.

Oh, the comment that all the donks misconstrued. All he meant was that the priority in games was to win. Pretty benign if you ask me. Don't sweat that comment!

it's not nuts. even if I disagree with it, I very much understand the logic that we are trying anything to salvage the only two forwards worth a f*** from our ""rebuild"" that is already belly flopping with the hard declines of Panarin and Zibanejad at ES. We desperately, desperately need these two to be good. We are utterly f***ed if they're not. I think it's more than fair to not give a shit about appeasing vets that got retirement contracts from this team or cheap 3rd line vets over literally the future. Again I DO NOT agree that just getting them more time will fix it, but this organization is staring a major major problem in the face and seems completely unconcerned about it.

The declines of Panarin and Zibanejad, especially at ES, are already happening. It's not going to get better. They are locked in on unmovable retirement contracts. If you can't even somewhat understand the desperation, I think you need to think more critically about how this team handled things.

Did you miss the part about “the worse they play”? Keep enabling them to play without a level of effort required to be successful in the NHL and no amount of talent or skills will help them reach their potential. As I said nuts.
 
lets be honest our window is closed. we aren't winning anything. these vets aren't good enough. and the kids are busts. best we can hope for the next few years is to make playoffs and play spoiler for isles and devils.

I bet he couldn’t name more than 10 players.

I'm not sure I buy that.

Don't think it's a coincidence that the first time we see him in years is the press conference after JD and Gorton firing. Zero doubt in my mind at minimum he has Dolan's ear regularly.

That was two years ago.

I think it carries more meaning than you are insinuating, probably less than how I am taking it, but it's clear that we go no where with just the vets leading the way, it would behoove coaching and upper management to develop the kids to ensure secondary and tertiary scoring.

the fans rubric is scoring, the coaches rubric is hockey.

How many times did Panarin miss the net? He just shot another puck wide.

Is anyone else tired of the Rangers scene? It's the same situation every season. Rinse. Spit. Repeat.

Are the Rangers having trouble selling tickets? Youtube keeps playing Rangers ticket commercials on my youtube feed even when I am watching Manchester United Mark Goldbridge United Stand content.

Trading for Kane isnt my preferred route but how long do we have to see the PP suck before we do something about trying to fix it? Were not going very far with a 15-20 ranked PP on this squad
 
Hmmm.....somebody asked about a #1 OA and the minors....I'll throw a name out there . Joe Murphy. He even had a hot playoff on a kid line once upon a time . Wings moved him early and took a loss on him .

I think there is a very large difference between the PP not scoring and the PP not being good. I thought it was very good yesterday and generated a lot of chances.
