That is a logjam. I'm sure the Rangers would have to add, but that's a trade I would love to see.

Perhaps there's a greater chance of a deal than I thought. Kuzmenko is the wild card but assuming he's sticking around and if it's true Boudreau isnt a huge fan maybe there's something there.

 

[JimmyG89]

Kreider and Trouba will be on at 4:30 today. Interesting that they have both on and not just Trouba.

 

[Daves a mess]

She should be in jail.

Nah. I spent 25 years there. Not her thing.

 

[KennyWu]

My wife is a dog groomer. We've had a home business for almost 20 years.

Hairiest wife I've ever seen

Hairiest wife I've ever seen

You should see her mother..

Artie reunited with the coach that saw this wonderful celebration.

I wish the Rangers gave him a PTO. Depth down the middle is never a bad thing. Solid 3rd liner. Always been a fan.

That moment isn't complete without the Avery smirk.

Is he still a solid 3rd line center? I think that ship has sailed imo.

 

[Fitzy]

I assumed Anisimov was gonna be happy to finish his career in Russia, I wonder what changed.

Couturier out “months” with a disc issues in his back.

Dude just can’t stay on the ice. Feel for him.

 

[RangersFan1994]

Shocked the Rangers did not release their training camp roster. Doesn’t camp start tomorrow?

 

[Barnaby]

Should be Laf, will be Trochek

I doubt it’s part of their rationale, but it’s not a bad strategy to put the guys who already got paid on PP1. We don’t need the young guys padding stats too much.

Yikes, the Flyers are going to be brutal this year. If I'm Ellis or Couturier, I'm not risking my health to get back to that dumpster fire.

 

[I Eat Crow]

Panarin-Trocheck-Lafreniere
Kreider-Zibanejad-Kakko
Hoglander-Chytil-Kravtsov
Blais-Goodrow-Reeves
Hunt or Carpenter as 13th forward

Hoglander creates a logjam for ice time.

Injuries happen. No one is claiming Carpenter or Hunt if the Rangers need to stash one in Hartford for a period of time.

Wednesday I believe it starts.

 

[I Eat Crow]

Trochek should be the 2nd PP center. He's a nice versatile player but we're not going to want to burn him out playing 22 minutes a night. He's the team's defensive matchup center and will need to take on PK duties as well.

PP1

Kreider

Zibanejad Panarin Lafreniere

Fox

PP2

Kakko

Trochek Chytil Kravtsov

Jones

Going to be very irritating if they get Bedard. At least they have Torts to keep things entertaining.

 

[AirGut]

I would've given him a PTO. I mean he doesn't really fit right now for us but I miss and love him, it would've been nice to see his career go full circle like that back to where it began.
Also we need more Russians again

 

[TominNC]

I'm lost also... to me it's someone who cuts pets' hair lol

Yep, or preparing someone for a higher position in a company.

 

[The Crypto Guy]

Trochek plays the same role as Kreider on the PP, he is good in front of the net and around the crease. It would make no sense to have both of them on the same unit. Laf should be on the top unit, but I'm not going to hold my breath.

 

[Shesterkybomb]

I guess I missed something. Or I'm old, or something.

Old here too i guess lol

Trocheck will play in the bumper most likely

The flyers are gonna be a pain in the ass and boring to watcg like most tortorella teams

Laf has to be on pp1, its time, you run that for 60 games and if it doesnt work then switch it before playoffs. But Laf needs rope this year, i dont think there's any way we miss playoffs so just get him and Kakko comfortable.

As for pp2....Kravtsov Trochek Kakko
Miller Jones
And id love to see that line get some time
