  1. Either of the first two will make the difference. We handed them this game, so we have one more chance to make this a series. We NEED to stop the shell game in the 3rd. If we play the 3rd like we played the first two periods, we win. On top of that, put the puck in the damn net. Kakko had a wide open net and so did Chytil. We cannot keep missing golden opportunities and still expect to win.
  2. Even regular season tickets are going through the roof. I remember just a few years ago, I went to a Blue Jackets game in Columbus and I got 2nd row behind the glass for $72 each. Same seats at the harder were $3-400. This was when Columbus was a playoff team and the Rangers weren’t. While this kind of thing does happen around the league, they really do not happen to the extreme that Dolan does it.
  3. Not a false narrative in the least. Copp is better on face offs, solid D and as we are seeing, meshes with Panarin just fine(he’s only been here less than a month too). Look at his stats from just the time here(8/10/+14) to see how well he is fitting in.
  4. I think Copp was brought in not only for his talent but because, like many of us, Drury isn’t sold on Strome. I certainly am not sold on Strome. He takes stupid penalties and IMO is a liability at times that happens to score goals, being fed by Panarin. However, Panarin’s talent mesh with others as well, as we have seen with Copp. I would much rather keep Copp around that Strome. The problem is, Copp is probably going to command more than we can really offer. On Valtrano, I think we could keep him if we want, but that’s up to Drury.
  5. Huh? It’s been the Hockey Central trade show since 10am on the NHL Network.
  6. You’ve got Pitt right there and that’s without Malkin and Columbus is better this year too. Also, don’t count out the Isle yet. We are only a qtr through the season. LONG way to go.
  7. As mentioned, still a threat when look at the Wild Card. In such a tough division, we always have to make sure we have a WC spot covered.
  8. I give him all the credit because… A) He added a much more simplified system, with PUCK SUPPORT(something we were severely lacking in with Quinn). But we still have a ways to go to get it right B) He has continued to go with Sheshterkin(Georgiev has made the choice easy though) C) He’s not afraid at making bold line choices that Quinn would never do. And the line changes seem to be working. D) He is instilling a confidence in this team, something I haven’t seen since the early days of Vineault. E) He has finally gotten Krieder to play to his potential and show up every night. F) While we have blown some leads, we have also won some games we shouldn’t have Whether is Be Sheshterkin or finding a way to get that late go ahead goal, it’s still wins that we weren’t getting in years past. IMO, with Quinn, we would be right there with Philly in points right now.
  9. Then don’t have a double standard when it comes to making the team either. He was better than those two but because he has waiver clearance and the other two don’t, down he goes, regardless of whether he played better.
  10. It IS a head game. You tell the kid to earn a spot, he does and plays better than those two(heck Gauthier is/was injured too). BUT sorry, we don’t wanna lose those two marginal players to waivers, so down you go go anyway. That is the definition of playing head games.
  11. So again, why do we keep Gauthier around other than the fear of losing him to the waiver wire? Get rid of him and keep Kravtsov here. I’d much rather not play head games with a kid who has played well and has a lot more potential than a player like Gauthier.
  12. I don’t blame him one bit this time. He played well during the preseason and should be here. We have to stop playing games because we fear losing a marginal player like Gauthier or Hunt to waivers. Get Kravstov up here and put someone on waivers. If you lose them, you lose them.
  13. Depends. I personally think there has, but it will take a bit if time for Gallant to really get to know these guys before they make the call.
