LONG LONG LONG TIME FAN Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 Sucks they don't play Boston again this season. Would have liked to seen Nash get a nice send off by MSG. I liked Nash and appreciate what he did do for this team. Hope he finds success and turns it on to be ,ore of the player hes capable of being. He got a great send off; going to a S.C. contender.

Respecttheblue Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 More on Lindgren http:// https://www.stanleycupofchowder.com/2017/7/25/16020698/bruins-25-under-25-ryan-lindgren-university-of-minnesota Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Kind of young defenseman our hot mess of a putrid back end actually needs. It's a rebuild after all. BUT seems a long way off, in terms of college years left to complete -- 2 more? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
torontonyr Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 Kind of young defenseman our hot mess of a putrid back end actually needs. It's a rebuild after all. He's taken a step back this season actually. Too many PIMs, not enough offense to justify his efforts. Solid at D though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Solid return for us I wouldn't say I don't like him.. I said he projects to (peek) Smith at full potential. Just articulating that the article is a bit behind and offered context.

Rangers Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 I’m not overly excited on return, but we didn’t do bad. I think this trade puts more pressure on Tampa, maybe for McD? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Niko Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 While I don’t have he disdain for #61 that several rangers fans seem to have, I am perplexed by a team rolling the dice on him for a deep post season push when his stats in the post season are arguably his biggest point of contention as to his legitimacy as a “star player”. I mean, we’ve all seen him on deep runs. While I value how hard he played for us, looking at stat sheets leaves a lot to be desired. I mean, if I were Boston, I probably would have pursued Brassard harder and paid less, based on his post season resume. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess boston feels a change of scenery will all of sudden change that. Nash is still good but they paid the price for a bigtime difference maker and i dont think he is that anymore Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fatfrancesa Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 This is a great return. Not sure how anybody could even question if the rangers didn’t do well here. Lindgren is not going to light up a score sheet but so what. He’s a smart, high character, physical, and good skating defenseman. He is going to be a nhl regular, not a star but a dependable possible letter wearing player. Spooner is either flipped for more picks or gives more depth to make more moves Great job by Gorton here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 The two things to note here are one, his scoring has actually improved in the playoffs over the last few seasons, and two, on Boston he won't be relied on as the guy the way he was in New York. He can play behind Bergeron, Marchand, etc. in a secondary role better suited to the player he is today.

I mean, if I were Boston, I probably would have pursued Brassard harder and paid less, based on his post season resume. Hmmm, I don't know, we shall see. Maybe we get some reversion to the mean. He was pretty good last year. On top of that, he is just an excellent hockey player and impact player. Boston's 1st line is among the best in the NHL. Takes pressure away from Nash. Nash gets to slot in with Louie and Kreji, which could be a real fit. His D is invaluable in the playoffs, he'll offload PK time from others too. Character guy is perfect for them, he is going to be fired up for this opportunity. He will add to their possession ability and will love their willingness to make more lateral passes to create openings. Unlike many rentals, Nash could join any team (like Team Canada) and be a contributor every nigh. And he is in a groove now and joins the hottest team over the past 45 games or so.

Giacomin Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 The Ranger additions have improved the Boston locker room. On top of that, the Bruins are really going for it. Hat's off, wish I could say good luck. At least it will be a fun watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dude Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 Hes definitely been better in the playoffs. IMO he was never really that bad, just couldn't catch a break. I think he goes on a tear and scores like a motherfucker. He will see favorable matchups and will be able to play more to his strengths. Plus, its a contract year.

Ideally, Rick is the leading scorer in Round 1, but they go down because Marchaundella takes a 5 minute major in Game 7 and the opposition comes back to score 3 gaols to win.

Site Boston has some guys but that doesnt mean he will automatically light it up I never suggested it dramatically increased, nor did I suggest he was going to light it up. You're inferring these things, but I never actually offered them. I'm simply stating facts. His scoring did improve in later playoffs runs, and with Boston he's likey to be asked to fill a secondary scoring role behind players the Rangers never had.

Giacomin Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 We'll just pretend like it never happened in preseason next year Ha ha, love this. Glad we are not playing Boston again. Regardless of if this is a win for them, we are all in agreement this is a big win for us because we got a serious payment of assets for a rental. If we didn't have their picks, I might even root for them to beat their do-nothing rival GMs. OK guys, 24 hours left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
