What is Rick Nash's legacy as a Blueshirt?

[ReggieDunlop68]

I really don’t know what you’re talking about. I don’t watch the games, but I think you misspelled cars.

Take note. It’s another plant.

 

[ReggieDunlop68]

Give me a few minutes pls.

Bottom 3?

Honey child...we had a top 3 defense when Rick Nash became a defensemen and stopped scoring.

If you think this team had a top 3 defense any time after 1995, you've rendered your opinions insignificant.

Expecting an in depth analysis of our top 3 defense

Since he’s probably retiring, and you @silverfish don’t really care , here’s “muh...bull****” for 2014 one last time.

Couldn't we have the Candi Staton version instead?

Candi Staton didn't score enough in the playoffs

No u

 

[ReggieDunlop68]

Sort of ironic no?

Because of the Samoan bias. I already explained this.

 

[Machinehead]

No u

Virtually every post I (and others) have made on this site since 2014 has been an analysis of why it sucks.

Still waiting on why it's top 3.

It’s not.

It’s definitely been more of a community effort with the King as the back bone.

So you can't defend our defense without mentioning the goaltender?

Figured as much.

During his Ranger tenure Nash was..

26th in the league in goals
93rd in the league in points
led the Rangers in total scoring once (finished close runner up to Step in 2013)
produced like garbage in the playoffs

The rate at which he scored 5on5 goals argument is pretty pathetic. They don't ask at which strength goals come or how efficient you were in scoring them. He simply didn't get anywhere close to enough of them and espeically so in the playoffs.

Advanced stats folks are all about value, the guy was making 8 million dollars when 8 was closer to 10 million all for what, scoring 5v5 goals effecieintly...? Not carrying a team offensively in all situations? That's definitely the guy they thought they were getting in Nash. He wasn't that piece.

He led the team in points/60 and primary points/60 at even strength during his 6 seasons with the Rangers.

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

slightly underperformed.

 

[SA16]

Pretty clear his main legacy is to identify who knows what they’re talking about and who doesn’t.

 

[Player big P]

I always liked the way he smiled pleasantly and spoke directly into the camera during interviews

He did that a LONG time ago.

 

[eco's bones]

Anyway I'm glad he won't be back at least in a player capacity......and we can move on to other newer underperformers.

His legacy is now:

Ryan Spooner
Ryan Lingren
Keandre Miller
Matt Beleskey

So, we gave up Anisimov, Dubinsky, Erixon and Rychel for 6 years of Nash, Buchnevich, Spooner, Lindgren, Miller and Beleskey.

That's how I look at it.

Yes.

If he only hit his chances in 2014 cup final - I think most would have a different view of R. Nash.

 

[Filthy Dangles]

Believe it or not the playoffs aren’t some mythical form of hockey that’s completely different.

Damn, someone should've just told Rick that.
