  1. Obviously you have to like what you are seeing since Trouba went down. Schneider has been very noticeable out there as has K'andres game as well. Coincidence? Maybe, maybe not. Miller has been on record saying his game has not been where he's wanted it to be. Schneider's game has definitely taken a more physical edge of late. Is it a Remke effect at work or that he feel's the need to kick it up a notch with the Cap down. most likely its a combination of the two. No matter where he plays upon his return, we need the Captain for a deep run, despite where he plays in the lineup. This time off could be just the ticket as we will have him back fresh in the next weeks. Reminds me of the old Islanders dynasty where Potvin or some other top guy would get an undisclosed injury a few weeks before the playoffs started. As to Schneider I will always remember JD's intensity in the war room on draft day when we moved up to take him. It was so cool they caught that on camera.
  2. I think we did the best that we could given this year‘s circumstances. I really believe the answer to a deep run this year lies within the rooms already existing pieces. The leaders of this group have to step it up and take it to the next level. To quote Mike Rupp they have to be comfortable playing uncomfortable
  3. i'd go with vatrano and take our chances. there's no sure fire stud out there this year unless drury really goes outside of the box. this is the rangers remember going on 30 years, which is a lifetime by the way. i've said it a thousand times. it's very comfortable to play here, they are coddled. i'm not sure they really have the guts to win 4 rounds, unless they bring in someone with respect that would kick a little ass in the room. don't think that guy exists in the room at present.
  4. i heard a wild ass rumor that the rangers were going to go after tom wilson... probably not true given the contract but has anyone else heard this? thanks.
  5. i'd be surprised if drury goes this way. seems like larry had nothing else to write about.
  6. where is this get rid of goodrow coming from? guys been a total pro here and does so many things so well. 3. w/e looks like a manageable deal to me.
  7. i remember when there was a lot of discussion about whether to give krieder that last contract due to his age and production. point being i wouldn't give up on any of these guys. the BCK line is producing right now. let it grow. Also don't discount the role covid played in Kakko and Laf's development. It was huge.
  8. interesting to read this morning that they moved othman to the right side last week in hartford. good time to experiment from within prior to chasing vatrano of tarasanko, which they probably will do anyway. tough break for wheeler. im not as down on him as some of u. i know he's lost a step but still by all accounts had been a good role model and locker room guy.
  9. MSL looks like he's building something there. i hope they give him a good shot. one of the good guys in hockey. that said LGFR. bank the two.
  10. anyone know who this is? he posts some good stuff.
  11. glad we didnt do it. would have been to much to give up anyway. they don't hand cups out in february and while i agree that vancouver ran through new york like a hot knife through butter the playoffs are a different story.
  12. not bad. i think the cool comparison here is that leetch could play in the modern day. cant go wrong either way of course.
  13. there doing fine. point here is to bank the 2 points. plenty of time to work on points for style. lav is doing a great job. locker room seems tight. they look like there having fun and despite a few injuries, next man up attitude is in place. question. when's the last time you've seen us go into the A and bring up guys who have immediately made an impact. ships going in the right direction. enjoy the ride.
  14. happy holidays been a while since i posted. i was thinking about fox coming back and wanted to compare him against leetch. after four years gp 285/237 g 36/52 a 199 vs 177 +/- 87/ -3 just a rough comp here but i was wondering if you started a team and had to take either, which one would you choose. i'd probably go fox just because i feel he is more consistent night in and out. not to impugn leetch at all as his career spoke for himself. obviously you can not go wrong either way. thought it would be a fun discussion. fun thing about it is i think leetch would be just as effective in today's nhl. thanks. as an edit feel free to add analytics if you can find them. not my bag thanks.
  15. Second star of the game for Lou on the garden ice got to be a highlight of the lifetime right
