Gourde was the one who wasn't available. Shoulda magicked that shit.

he was exposed, how wasn't he available?

 

[Oscar Lindberg]

Garand being brought back up, hopefully Quick decided to retire

 

[CLW]

You still couldnt afford Gourde in that case. He got claimed in the expansion draft anyway so I dont even understand how that was a Ranger screw up

I thought Gourde was UFA tbh. Anyway my point was more about avoiding bad deals so you have room for good players - thus minus two "bad" players leaves room for a good one. Guess the point went past people.

Akil Thomas on waivers. Curious if we take a look there.

Who is the other bad player in this hypothetical?

This is so embarrassing as a fan. This seems to be happening all the time. Is pr trying to be cheeky?

It’s Laviolette’s son

His son is also Peter Laviolette and played in the ECHL last season. Believe he was invited to AHL camp

 

[NickyFotiu]

Any interest in claiming Lias Andersson off waivers? 31 goals last year in the AHL.

Coming off 31 goals in only 67 AHL games I'm surprised he is on waivers. Makes me wonder if there is something going on beyond the numbers.

Laf as an extra?

OMG it may be happening..

I like how honest our new coach is. He doesn't pretend we don't have eyes. I couldn't agree more about effort. Effort isn't about systems, lines, etc.

So three big takeaways from the lavy presser:

1. The media has been trained for the nonsense coaches. The media thought that asking the coach about a horseshit game would lead to some laughs and the old turk giggle "we will be fine, our guys are pros and they will be fine" hands off crap. Media was laughing at first and then they realized lavy is pissed.

2. Expecting effort shouldn't be something the coach needs to state to the media and by doing so he is almost outing the country club shit which is great. For years and years back checking and d effort has been optional.

3. When lavy says the kids are the ones competing he's again calling out the vets and core here. I love it. They should be setting the tone and they aren't. This all goes back to the trouba helmet throw and the rottenness in the locker room last year. Trouba and turk did not see eye to eye on what was needed to run the team. Trouba wanted help for accountability from the coach through deployment, ice time, and taking away cookie time for those not pulling their weight but turk just kept giving the babies their binky. I think lavy has the stones to manage this properly, although it may cause some players (panarin) to check out on him. This is going to be culture shock for some...

No laffy? Shocker...

This is probably all about who is playing tomorrow more than likely.

Didn't he have a good camp? Thought I saw something about that.

Who is the other bad player in this hypothetical?

I like both Goody and Tro tbh, but it's more about fit. I said earlier I think we have a problem with our 3Cs being too similar in style. Trochek always was bit of a weird signing to me.

Trochek fill a HUGE need for this team. He's an excellent puck transporter, he's very good at both ends of the rink, he's a good forechecker and he plays in and around the net very well. He thrives playing in traffic. That's something the team needs more of in general.

Lav doing things in the press Quinn did. Same guys here, interesting to see if it'll be same result on ice (it will be but I think Lav has stones to bench guys Quinn didnt).

I think we have a big change of culture trade this year.

when do we ever?

Trochek is a good player. that he didn't have a good playoffs is kinda immaterial at this point, he has a history of being pretty good in the playoffs, so last years collapse of nearly everyone isn't exactly causing me to panic about him

and Chytil injured again I think is a huge reason why the Rangers did not feel like they wanted to trust him to take over that 2C spot. He may be talented enough for it but he can't protect himself and is sure to miss some stretches of time

Laviolette doesn't like his lazy attitude. Trsded by opening night or trade deadline

Trade him

I think both guys need to be judged after they play under a real coach, because if you go by production, both have lived up to their contracts so far

 

[NYR Viper]

Wait, do people think Trochek had a bad year last year?

Goodrow catches a lot of flack for his teammates being lacking enough that he gets overslotted.

Blaming the wrong guy. If he sucks how bad do they suck?

And he's decent on face offs...

So again, you are stuck on Fox Miller for every example you gave.

So again, as an alternative to Jones Fox.
