The news accounts all say Sergy was injured by a "reverse check" by LaF. I didn't see LaF do anything, and I've watched it five times. It just looked like Sergy tried to check him and got his leg caught in an ackward way between LaF's legs.

Was curious what would happen regarding that. It makes sense given how long these players are likely to be out of the lineup.
Heck, they can't even start working out until the shackles are taken off!

BREAKING: The novelty has worn off, and it is worth two points like every other game.

Arizona is a good market, but this has gone far and for too long. Move them. At such time as Phoenix wants to build a good rink, they can seek to move one of the other lame franchises there.

I would take Gauthier over Wheeler and Pitlick. I'm not looking forward to the distant vision of Wheeler in the rear view mirror when we play the Devils.
-
Is anyone here ready to say that they think that Miller has improved from where he was, say, two years ago? Yeah, I know, guys may not develop on a straight line upward, but I also know that guys plateau at different times, and with Miller that time may have happened or soon be happening.

Don’t forget the Rangers went out there and beat them in their building before that.
Yeah, but that was those Rangers, not these Rangers.

Denver and Minneapolis-St. Paul failed the first time and now are among the strongest franchises. St. Louis and Pittsburgh were in dire straights and near moving at various points. There's nothing innate about Atlanta that would make it a bad market where teams seem to do fine in Nashville, Raleigh, Dallas and Tampa. The Flames experience 40-50 years ago is irrelevent (although I note they outdrew the Atlanta Hawks). A poorly managed team that makes the the playoffs once in 12 years is a recipe for failure. The Thrashers gate was typically not that bad, as various teams were worse.
All that said, stop at 32, please.

What makes you say this?
Players who do not fulfill their initial promise are often moved under the theory that they would be better off getting a fresh start somewhere else. Being so highly touted will always hang over Kakko's head here. There won't be so much high draft pick baggage attached to him with a new team, which may make acceptance of a lesser role easier for that teams fans and management and the player himself.

Kakko's value is so low at the moment that I would prefer to just keep him and try to develop him as a good third line player. Of course, the environment on the team that drafted him second overall is probably not conducive to developing him into something far less than was expected. For that reason, sooner or later he will get dumped for very little and probably will become a passable player elsewhere.

You don't think you could find Muslims or Jews with bad stories about their co-religionists? Especially conservative and orthodox sects. Okay, it's fine by you to disparage Mormons but not other religions.
Mitt Romney, a Mormon, got about 45 percent of the vote running for President, so at least a good chunk of the population does not share your prejudice.

Mormons are a dangerous fundamentalist religious group. And many of there members still practice polygamy and child marriage, and that’s not just people outside the community of LDS as they’d like you to believe. It’s a very common thing and it occurs with prominent members of that Church.
But I’ll acknowledge it was a bit insensitive.
Im just no fan of fundamentalists. I worked for Scientologists for many years.
I don't know the basis for your statement that it's "not just people outside the community of LDS as they'd like you to believe." You have Muslim extremists, who may even represent a larger faction than polygamists among Mormons, committing terrorist acts. So on that basis are you prepared inveigh against Muslims they way you did Mormons? I'm non-PC and non-woke, but it amazes me how certain groups, like Mormons and poor rural white folks are deemed by some to be subject to disparagement that people wouldn't dare direct at most groups.

Let’s not do anything to make wealthy Mormon’s any wealthier.
Wow. Can you imagine substituting "Jews" or "Muslims" for "Mormon's"? Mormons were probably the most persecuted religious group in American history. That's how they ended up in Utah.

Sounds like another Ryan. Spooner.

Extending him this summer seems out of the question. It would mean a commitment that would run NINE years into the future after what, even if he has a good finish, would be an uneven season. Moody as Sheshty is, I hope he doesn't get annoyed with the Rangers if they take their time evaluating him during next season.
One exception to all of this might be if Sheshty were willing to take somewhat reduced term and money this summer, given that he's not coming off a good year. Not that likely, but possible.

He called up Leschysyn. We're good.
At his current pace, Leschysyn will contribute 35 points by... inifinity.

Undrafted. Slowly got to the point of playing 30 games in the NHL last year. Might be a late bloomer. If he can take off the opposition's star for five minutes every game, he can stick.

Anytime Tkachuk wants to take a five minute rest with an AHL d-man and have us score three while he's cooling his heels is fine with me. Mackey looked good.

Has anyone seen a team that pulls the goalie down by 3 succeed in tying a game? It seems like a pointless ritual.
Kakko = The Garbage Time Kid.

Shaky goaltending for... them?
Goals in bunches for... us?

Dolan Doesn't Want Rangers Trading 2024 1st Round Pick Because Draft Will Be at Sphere in Vegas; Brooks Claims Rumor Is False
in New York Rangers

I don't want to trade a 1st for a third line center when that line actually looks pretty good at the moment. It may be looking like a wing for Zib is a bigger priority. Give it a few weeks.
