Kevin Posted September 18, 2018 Share Posted September 18, 2018 Glad to see Zibs in the lineup. I'd imagine it wasn't concussion related since he's in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Giacomin Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 DeAngelo and Buch are the only repeats. These two are moving from the coach's doghouse to coach's pet. Pet project, I mean. Where's Shattenkirk? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted September 19, 2018 Author Share Posted September 19, 2018 DeAngelo, I'd bet, is getting every opportunity to make this team. The fact he's in back-to-back and not Pionk, for example, is probably a precursor. Pionk is still waivers-exempt. DeAngelo isn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 ADA should make this team. He has all the tools. What he needs to be is coached, and he has the temperament Quinn wants. If he isn't on the roster, at least as an extra, I'd question if there's something behind the scenes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gravesy Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 Where's Shattenkirk? And Zuccarello? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 There's really no reason to play them, yet. There's a lot of cuts to be made. Everyone playing either has something to prove, plus you're required to dress some regulars, even in a PS game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone playing either has something to prove, plus you're required to dress some regulars, even in a PS game. I didn't know that. Is it a rule that says that? Looking forward to this game, interesting center depth here with Zib, Chytil and Howden. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So they are required to put some talent out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact he's in back-to-back and not Pionk, for example, is probably a precursor. Pionk is still waivers-exempt. DeAngelo isn't. He keeps playing the way he did and he is going to do more than make this team. I think the coach has a lot of projects, but I bet the coach and GM agreed it is time for Buch and DeAngelo to play a large role this year. Be interesting to see if he gets paired with Skjei tonight to test a new top pairing. Or maybe Quinn pairs him with Hajek. Zuc sitting early makes more sense then anyone else. Shatty though, missed more than half the year and was still rehabbing during the draft. Wonder how his progress is going? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted September 19, 2018 Author Share Posted September 19, 2018 That rule is also why some teams add a bunch of PTOs who they have no intention of signing. The Rangers aren't one of them, but Pete has it right. Sent from my iPhone using Blueshirts Brotherhood mobile app powered by Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThirtyONE Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 Quinn was not happy with the lack of response to the headshot last game. Says he’s addressed it. Seems like old habits of being complete pushovers die hard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like old habits of being complete pushovers die hard. Interesting. So here we are with a coach that does not want the team to take headshots, w/o responding. Watch things change around here. And I'm not one for chippy/dirty play, but I was pounded on here for saying AV instilled a 'turn-the-other-cheek' for the PP preference, instead of any retaliation. Players were benched for taking a retaliation penalty. We don't have to initiate assholetry, but we can't let teams try to run our skilled players out of the building, as a key strategy.

Of course and I don't think you were alone in those sentiments over the last few seasons. To be blunt, we were a team of pussies. The game may have changed some but it's still hockey. Seems like he's also been preaching the message of "go through rather than around" which would be a welcomed sight for me as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phillyb Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 I still can't believe no one fucked up Cody Eakin when he ran Lundqvist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThirtyONE Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 I still can't believe no one fucked up Cody Eakin when he ran Lundqvist. Larry Brooks mentioned the double head shot to Vesey and Staal in a 1:52 span that went unpunished. I had honestly forgotten about that. So many moments of head scratching for me. Even the Brendan Smith fight in LA -- which was seemingly the last fight the Rangers had before OGara dropped the gloves two nights ago -- was seen as a negative by AV. I'm just so glad that that kind of shit is over with now. Question is, are we now trying to paint tiger stripes on a house cat? Are any of these guys even capable of standing up for teammates? Because it's not just going to come down to McQuaid. McCloud was in the game two nights ago and still did nothing. Someone on the ice needs to respond when it happens, no matter who's on the ice.

phillyb Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 Any vids of the headshots? I didn't get a chance to see the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
josh Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 Quinn said after the game that he didnt have issue with the Rangers not retaliating, said it happened fast, caught off guard, not everyone saw it to see what was happening. This seems like Larry twisting words, as usual. Also, the hit was awkward. It was head on head. Finally, Boo was skating with his head down. Last thing any teammate or coach needs to do is rescue a guy crossing the blueline staring at his skates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last thing any teammate or coach needs to do is rescue a guy crossing the blueline staring at his skates. “It happened so fast, I don’t know if guys saw it, and we responded by winning the game, obviously, but there are other ways you can respond,” the coach said when asked about the absence of retaliation. “It’s been discussed [with the team].” https://nypost.com/2018/09/18/david-quinn-irked-by-rangers-passive-response-to-head-shot/ Doesn't seem like there's any twisting going on to me.

Giacomin Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 As long as we mix it up. If we have an Elias Pettersson, we don't need to go thru anybody.

fletch Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 Trivia question: In Stanley Cup playoff history, who are the top 3 non-American goal scorers? If it was easy, it wouldn't be trivia. Answer at https://www.quanthockey.com/nhl/records/nhl-players-all-time-playoff-goals-leaders.html no 3, no 11, and no 14 overall scorers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
