Did I just see Mike Tyson's naked ass?

No?

Reality has set in.

Zegras is a smurf. The Rangers don't need anymore small finesse players. Perreault will be arriving soon and that should satisfy the Rangers quota of small players.

Drury needs to nuke the team. The team is stale. The D is not good enough. Maybe they are mad at management for Trouba's situation from last summer. Igor's contract. Trocheck's contract becomes a limited NTC this summer. Kreider has a limited NTC. Trouba has a limited NTC. Miller has regressed. He was bad last season and he is worse this season. Phil Housley hasn't helped him get better at all. Miller will never be a big offensive producer. We thought McDonagh had more offense than he was showing but it was never there. The power play personnel is frustrating. Miller is a better athlete than a hockey player. Flush it down the toilet. Is Drury even capable of making these trades? He is about to earn his keep around here. Even Laviolette. Is the team listening to him anymore? Drury has traded every draft pick for nothing. It's the same nonsense every year. Which potential free agent playing on a bad team will be available at the trading deadline? That's Drury's business plan. It's hard to make trades during the season so we will see more rental deals.

Dom had this stat

Aside from a .913 save percentage, Shesterkin is top five in goals saved above expected, and the only two starters who face more high-danger shots (Lukas Dostal and Mackenzie Blackwood) are on bottom-feeding teams. The Rangers are too talented to be the Ducks or the Sharks, obviously, but Shesterkin still bumps them up a few levels.

Quick has been terrific.

The Rangers are a bottom feeder without their goalkeepers needing to be superman.

The Rangers are going nowhere playing loose hockey. You don't see the Rangers changing that this season.

The Rangers are going nowhere playing loose hockey. You don't see the Rangers changing that this season.

This season, so far, is screaming two years ago when a team thought they were just going to waltz through the season and "save" it for the playoffs and promptly got shown the door in the first round.

Lesson clearly not learned with this leadership group. Someone should be banging their stick against lockers and wake this team up to reality.

After Iron Mike is done with him, maybe we can teach Mr Paul to skate and he can bring some Avery-esque hate-ability to our lineup and give us a spark. Or at least we can all focus our dislike on him and not focus on Mika and Trouba. Meanwhile, I’ll be 45 by the time they even start this fight.

or we could just recognize Rs win signif # of times Rempe is in the lineup, call him up, and deal Vesey so he is back full time

 

[Vitto79]

Any word on anyone getting a call-up?

Groulx has been playing well.

He’s likely the pick for a C to actually play but Brodzinski will play so it could be Jake or Belzile
