I agree there was a disconnect. I don’t think it was because of something Quinn was doing/saying though. (Not saying that’s what you’re saying @jay from jersey). I think it was broadly speaking, a leadership deficit.
Good point.
I think they’ll definitely be a more rigid team this season simply due to the new players and management/coaching group. They key is guys like Lafreniere, Fox, Kakko, and the other kids growing into a sturdy unit. I think they will, fwiw.
Yeah I agree. I took a plane ride to Toronto to visit some video game friends so we saw a Leafs game then road tripped to Ottawa. The arena being so far outside of the city is dumb. We got lucky because we got our tickets before they announced it being Alfredsson night. The drive back to Ottawa is terrible, so much traffic leaving the arena and only a few lanes. Felt like leaving a football game at the Meadowlands. Ottawa itself is an ok city.
Yea, and say chytil line is doing real well on some night, will he rid the guys who are hot and give them more ice time?? Gallants a veteran coach, I’m really interested to see how he handles stuff like that. Keeping Kreids motivated also, that’s a big 1 like you said.
The forecheck and neutral zone play will be the primary thing to focus on when we see this year. To see how they play through the neutral zone and where they stand up to rushes against. Usually Quinn gave up the blue line by designing then deciding to step up at the tops of the circles instead. Gallant will use that and move up to the blue line, then the high-danger zone between the tops of the circles and the blue line.
Yes, new guys get mature and be like star. This is a very good team.
Yup. He said as far as the physical side of things go, he was the rangers to set the tone and be the initiators, rather then taking the first licks. Pretty good strategy if you ask me.. I hope it comes to fruition. I guess we’ll see soon enough
That is Gallant's coach style. We can see from his past. Will see here in Rangers.
If you look at total points that’s the opposite of analytics. If you break it down you can see via the numbers that CK was insanely hot briefly and insanely cold for a longer period. Analytics, for the most part, tell a pretty clean story.
My old roommate was one of the foremen on the last renovation. He said the bridge was one hell of an idea.
Sorry to disagree but too many times the team came out not ready to play. That’s on the coach.
Lol. I wouldn’t recommend Ottawa as a great travel destination. You’re better off going to Montreal which is only a few hours away. Old Montreal is cool with its European vibes, there’s a ton of great restaurants and bars downtown. A hockey game at the Bell Centre should be on everyone’s bucket list.
