There’s a new sheriff in town and his name is Matt Rempe. 

I still don’t understand how that’s a penalty

Aho tried to injure Fox on the play and succeeded.  Not sure if the Igor injury was intentional but it was a reckless play with the skater using his leg to stretch Igor out good.

 

I don't think ignoring the incidents makes the 'Canes less likely to do what they did again.

I seriously don’t think the injury was intentional.

Bottom line is we have that game breaking talent. And it’s not only him.

I’m just saying, you are ragging on the piles and Lou but we had Panarin and Fox basically fall into our lap. Doesn’t take a genius to sign those too. Try building a team when no one wants to play for you

While I understand what you’re saying, there’s no way to know how this team is structured if they don’t sign Panarin.

That’s true but there’s no other Panarin out there who might’ve been available 

Can we get passed the caps first please?!

I don’t understand the Islanders. My theory on being too attached to a roster is that the Rangers handled things right with their elite teams in the mid-2010s. You had teams that won divisions, a Presidents Trophy, an Eastern Conference Title. And when things began to tail off, management understood this notion: if we couldn’t win with this little engine that could when they were all at their best (Henrik included), are we going to win with them getting older? The answer was a resounding no.

 

They dealt Brassard, a staple, at the right time. Stepan. They cut ties with people like Girardi. This was all before the Letter. They knew it was time for new blood.

 

Lou, for whatever reason, is living off of 2020 and 2021. They got close. They were good. They were tough to play against. It was never a team built on talent, but instead it was the depth and the grit. But it’s a hard brand to sustain across many seasons and these guys are mostly older and still there. And in that time, aside for grabbing Horvat, no major moves have been made to compete with the big boys in today’s NHL. They just don’t have enough talent. Barzal is good, but is he the play driver on a Cup Winner? I see him more as a secondary guy. Same for Horvat. 
 

If this ends the way I think we can all agree it likely is going to end, it’s time to nuke that core and just start over. They had their chance. They, like the mid-2010s Rangers, had a few good kicks at the can. But it’s time for new blood in there.

If Panarin wanted to sign in Detroit and not the rangers, we’d be in exactly same place, if not worse. Lets not forget who carried this team this year to where it is. 

2-0 Caps

Rempe changes tape on his blade

i think there will be less hitting as the rounds progress. Usually does

You heard he was the kind of guy that would be good for a team that is rebuilding, but I'm not even sure what exactly San Jose is doing right now. lol They kind of haven't really started rebuilding yet, or are in the super early stages of it. Getting the first overall will help.

thats what i understood too, that he was a rebuilding coach.  guess he sucked at it. Or he porked somebody's wife, and why wouldnt he?

Is there a story behind this? I admittedly don't pay attention about people's lives off the ice, but am curious if there's a story behind this since you've brought it up multiple times.

i met him once. He came off as a entitled asshole that thinks he's the shit.  I thought he was an asshole.

Somehow I doubt you were talking about him being the softest power forward ever when he scored with speed in OT against Boston in 2013, or when his one man effort broke the Rangers 30 PP funk and turned Game 5 of the Pitts series in 2014 in our favor when we were down 3 games to 1, or when his 6 on 5 goal in the last minutes of Game 5 of 2015 Wash series staved off elimination setting up a great comeback, or when his game winner with less than 90 seconds left in Game 6 against Pitts in 2022 got us to Game 7 so we could come back, or even his 6 goals in 7 games against NJ last year.

 

Guess he's just soft, except moments like those.

Thats great, Sod but its 2024.  I'm sure he was great in PeeWees too
