  1. This reminds me of all types of predictions about how diminished a player he would be this season, and then he went out and had an MVP caliber season and set a career high in goals after people complaining he didn't shoot enough. So respectfully, anybody who thinks they know the future, doesn't know shit. The idea that players are static is mind-boggling to me.
  2. "I don't like the Rangers because of playoff history, I'll go with ... Leafs". Please turn in your credentials at the door on your way out.
  3. Hopefully they won't be dressing two rookies and a journeyman on D, and they'll get their 3rd line C back.
  4. Right. Like GG year 1 The team look like they were white knuckling games just waiting for a power play. A deeper look into the analytics says that was true. This year, on the whole the analytics aren't pretty, but when you watch games they look like a completely different team.
  5. Yea. Ferraro says a lot of good things, too. He got dragged for his podcast comments (which were nowhere near as bad as made out to be), but he also praised Rempe game. I don't think saying Panarin is a "tier 2 MVP" is an insult. They're calling him MVP caliber in a season where two or three other players are just doing better. Carolina deserves praise, They have lit it up since trade deadline. Saying that another team is good is not the same thing as saying the Rangers are bad. Ultimately, there are so many good teams at the top of the standings, they have to talk about something.
  6. I agree with almost everything aside from the idea that where McDermid was playing doesn't matter. Rempe shouldn't have to fight someone who wasn't even on the team or even in the conference. That's some mercenary shit. That's not "the code". Everything else we're on same page.
  7. I don't think it's anti Rangers at all. These people are paying attention to the entire league, they're not hyper focused on one team the way we are. Like I said in the other thread, you can disagree with the case they're making, but the case they're making is definitely there. They aren't making the stuff up. They're not out here saying Barzal should be MVP.
  8. Boston doesn't have anywhere near the supporting cast that the Rangers do. Their top scoring D is McAvoy with 44 pts. Fox has 63 in 62. Pasta center is Zacha with 50 pts. Trocheck is P/G. And those are just boxcars. We can agree with the case, or disagree with it, but there's certainly is a case for Pasta over Panarin.
  9. Don't be so hard on yourself No need to stand corrected, no telling of Quennville would have done as good a job or better. What can be said for sure at this point is that running any version of this team back out there with Gallant, Even if you made some changes around the margins, was not going to be successful. If you have a shitty painter, you can get them all the brand new brushes you want to, they're still a shitty painter. And GG is shitty.
  10. I would actually rest him before the playoffs. It's become pretty evident to me over the past couple of games that he looks tired. And when you think about it it makes a lot of sense. There's no team in the league who gets less help from their defense in terms of transporting the puck than the Rangers (per Shayna). Maybe McDavid has to do more work up in Edmonton than Mika does moving the puck up the ice. It's incredibly taxing to have to move the puck from deep your zone, and then work deep in the other team zone. That's why having a line mate like Kreider who doesn't really skate, really hurts. There's no stretch pass, there's no throw the puck up ice and create a foot race. Again, would love to see the zone entry data on that line. But yeah, that's why you see him taking shots from far out. He could use a break.
