I think its a little early to throw in the towel on most of the defense and coaching. The exhibition season lineup was never even close to tonights. They are still settling in. Two rookies, some other question marks. Gonna be a work in progress for a bit. As mentioned Winnipeg has two hard fore checking lines. At this juncture just win.

Got 2 points, got some stuff to clean up, but let’s go pound some Bud.

Trade Fast to Philly. He can warm Chewy’s feet again.

To me Kappo is that 1/2 inch away from busting a play, and walking by three guys and tucking one. He’s fighting it a bit and just needs a break through and he will be off and running.

Well done third line and Howden. In the paint.

Buch :banghead:

Staal was in La la land.

Staal :rofl:

Panarin can snap it.

Lets do this.

Touchdown Tony.

F’nn do dah. Let’s play.

I’m hoping Strome racks up 50 points

Ryan Strome 65 points

Don’t forget coaching in Hartford can’t be any worse than what it’s been for more than a year or two.

Strome was a high pick, put up 50 or so his second year in the league. Then not surprisingly in the Garth Snow gong show east, it went to hell on him. Where does he end up, gong show west in Edmonton. New York was some of his most stable NHL environment since he got to the NHL. I wouldn’t be at all surprised to see a 60 plus point season out of him. I like the Brassard comparison he came from a shitshow in Columbus and took off. Hopefully Strome who the Rangers need to, has a career season.

After last seasons finish Strome job as second center was his to lose or a young guns to beat him out. I guess we see what Quinn thinks about it on Thursday night. I think he’s number two, Howden three, Andersson four, Chytil in Hartford getting some wake up love, to start. Andersson and Howden could obviously flip flop, but Andersson, McKegg, and Lemieux could be a hell of a energy injector fourth line to start. The good news is Quinn has some really tough choices to make just to pick the team, followed by a lot of roster flexibility to make up a lineup, where I suspect the third and fourth lines will be a bit of a moving target to start the season.

DeAngelo is right there with Trouba and certainly could pass him as the number 1 pp guy. I think by the looks of his two games and development last season he’s going to have a excellent year for the Rangers. This crap I’ve seen everywhere since Fox got signed and hadn’t played a game in the league yet was better than DeAngelo and blah blah blah is hopefully put to bed. At least until he actually proves he is. At this point in time Fox’s biggest worry should be making the team.

Lemieux had a pretty good game looking like he is ready to go to start the season.

He has a huge advantage when all McLeod can hit is a half shield.

I know, but he?s still a pussie.

Lemieux learned well from pops.

These cak suckers with shields on that fight. :paddle:

Ya Boo is close, but he just can’t get there.

Is there any way McKegg doesn’t start the season in NYC?
