I think we can be fairly confident that zib-kreid doesnt work well enough, or consistently enough without a real player on the rw ala zucc, buch...and vesey is definitely not that guy. Panarin maybe, if he can suck it up and play on the off wing...and elevate his game. Otherwise, would love to see laf in a top 6 role IN HIS NATURAL F'N POSITION.

how do these coaching changes work - are you able to confirm Trotz's interest on the dl and then make the change, or is that not cool?

U either ride or die with him for the season or make the move right now.

That is definitely my favorite of all the hoodies...

Phew...211 points...we can all finally chill

Its all good if the player moves on, depending on the player... Like I saw 2 jet fans wearing a darnold and sanchez jersey at a game recently... If i had a zuccarello jersey now ide have no problem wearing it for eternity

I like the guy...but i think the rangers need a 4th line that can be counted on for a few goals

thats our 8 million dollar captain...

panarin f'n pretending this game

all road to success this season run through chytil

i hit the trotz button...but can agree its probably too soon. also, im not big on an overly defensive scheme. I want to see the Rangers that came storming out of the gate the first few games, looking like they were going to drop 5 a game this season. but you can't argue with a winner.

Yes - put the kid line back together. Never mind the top 6 plug ins...thats on those vets to figure shit out.

We saw this team go through a bunch of ups and downs last season so its premature to right em off...but...even if they do turn it around, its likely theyd just slump at some later time...or in the playoffs. So what other cards are there to play if not Trotz.

Probably need to stick with GG as long the Rangers remain in playoff contention/on the bubble...so as not to be rash and risk a coaching turnstyle. But if they do miss the playoffs...or even a disappointing playoff performance...the axe is perfectly fair game.

if panarin could finish and snipe as good as his vision/skating/handling...he might be the best player in the world...for what its worth.

Well the window is basically now...personnel wise this team is not getting much better without breaking it down and rebuilding, so if drury starts to doubt gallant is the guy, hes gotta consider making a change sooner rather than later... ESPECIALLY for a guy like that

The kid line needs to be given another shot while the other 2 lines try to figure sht out with whomever gets plugged in. In any case, ill say this - i will never buy that this team doesn't have the personnel to be very good, so if the season continues to go sour, gotta lay the blame on coaching.

just about the only guy i saw some passion out of was Halak breaking his stick after the L

what a hit...thats what we need more of this season

please can we see Panarin chirping at Torts

lets not get carried away here...I think we can at least start to make an informed judgement after a full season (rather than 189 games)...and certainly if a playoff run gets included

well lets put pace aside for actual gross production. Strome has never broke 60 points here. If Tro stays healthy and puts up 70+, I'm counting that as a significant upgrade. But even moreso - lets tack on playoffs and see how that plays out. Strome's production was abysmal last run. If Tro duplicates his playoff performance here or exceeds it, I'm booking him as a SIGNIFICANT upgrade, no ifs ands or buts.

im fine if we just boil it down to production...goals/assists/total points. and from what i've seen thus far, i'd be pretty comfortable betting that Trocheck will produce significantly more. i'll predict he basically keeps his current pace for the full season for at least 70+ points.

I think Trochek is a much better player than Stromer...on 'another level'. Just wondering if there are any objective stats/results on the go forward that would prove that out in your eyes.
