love how no one talks about what JD, Gort, and Quinn know best, that CK is about more than just a return on his recent numbers. he?s the locker room, the alpha to the kids, and blue blood leadership through the rebuild. everyone is fine with the AAV but hates the last 2 years. fuck that, the cap goes up every year & we?re trying to win while Mika and Panarin are in their prime. CK is a central piece in that equation, especially with Mika. put a C on him already and let?s get it done.

he may get flipped again. I hear Boston fans crying for it.

I just love that we beat the deal into submission last night.

cancel culture is real. imagine how shitty Tappen must feel either way. I feel for her.

man that “sell the team” chant went well.

probably the same year, around ?96, I was with some friends in the french quarter NOLA when 311 was playing. I was drunk and said let?s get in line and just talk our way in. I told the girl at the turnstile that she was beautiful and me and my friends were hoping to be let in. she put wrist bands on us for the pit. I ended up crowd surfing and getting thrown on stage into ?Peanut? who I think was the bass player and I fucked up his riff. but hey it was the girl?s fault who let us in to begin with lol. good times.

let’s get kraken!! oof

lol Vegas have been in the league for like half an hour, literally only have one rivalry at this point, and then they do this shit

loved it. even better that Gomer was there to chime in.

Fox just hit the net more

so can we dress all 3 and give each of them a period? how the hell do you control the narrative after a loss

Brady fuckin Skjei, and he’s been doing so well lately

Igor would’ve stopped that, obviously

everyone going thru the motions here, your turn JR! not bad either, I give it a solid 9/10. see u in Feb..

dude really needs to work on his demeanor. besides making himself an easy target, I can’t imagine anyone being a less inspiring teammate. the goals will come with how he’s working but damn, put on the face for the luck you want not the luck you have.

people forget he spent his entire NHL playing career as a Ranger

some buzz in Sweden that Lias? old team Frolunda want him back.. #PlayLikeASwedishMeatball https://www.foreverblueshirts.com/rangers-roundup-frolunda-interested-in-andersson-scouts-in-anaheim-and-more/

-it seems highly likely that there?s been some serious pressure from Shesty?s camp for this to happen especially considering his contract options. he?s reached peak AHL and it?s a tough spot to be expected to improve upon what he?s already done. what if he slumped or got injured? -any move to head back overseas for the remainder of the year would be another black eye in a recent series of black eyes. Krav definitely wasted time and although it?s a completely different situation there?s plenty of scrutiny to go around with how Lias was handled. -a month ago the ideal would?ve been to keep Shesty in Hartford for a season, fix the defense in front of him, make a playoff run, and move Georgie around the draft. Hank would transition to a mentor role and finish his career the perfect Ranger minus a cup. -but it?s January and now we?re sellers. Hank?s not going anywhere so we have to move Georgie or find a reason to tell/show Shesty he?s close but needs a little more time. the window here is small but it lines up well with the trade deadline. Lemieux is out for a few more weeks and we?ve been going with 22 anyway. so we call up Shesty to calm his camp but also throw him in the fire against the Avs right away and perhaps STL and the Islanders next. he?ll see 110-130 shots in his first 3 games alone. all the while working the phones hard for a return on Georgie. if Shesty struggles we send him down and go back to plan A, minus the playoff run. -the dangers are: Georgie gets traded and then Shesty gets lit up by our swiss cheese defense. in which case we just play more Hank, but still. or there?s little to no return for Georgie mid season so he stays and we work to beef up value, Shesty plays well when he?s in, and we fucking fumble everything trying to keep all 3 focused. -of course one injury clears up everything. or for all we know Georgie is already gone.

additional context from the interview beyond what the clip showed (from Carp/Athletic) https://theathletic.com/1514616/2020/01/06/igor-shesterkins-call-up-brings-a-lot-of-buzz-but-also-some-tough-questions/ [Hank] was asked if it?s at all disappointing? ?No, like I said, the big change in approach as an organization is not this past week or yesterday or today,? he said. ?It was how we changed the mindset a little bit two years ago. You know, you look at my game. Do I want to win more games? Absolutely. If I break down my game a little more detailed, I think I?m doing pretty good if you compare it to other goalies in the league, if you look at scoring chances against, and how I do that. But if you look at wins, yeah, I would definitely want to have more wins and make a difference. ?Right now there?s two guys next to me. I was in their position 14 to 15 years ago. You get into the league and you get an opportunity to play. You have to support them, and it?s an exciting time for them, for both.?

Andersen just got yanked in the 2nd for Toronto. just sayin’..

the timing is fine. Lemieux is out for a few more weeks, no big deal to swing 3 goalies for a minute. hell we play the Islanders 3x in 8 days. kick the tires and let’s see what we’re working with going into Feb.

if they?d let him wear 30 it?ll save us all a bunch of $$
