Stephen Posted September 27, 2018 Share Posted September 27, 2018 Couple of wrak ones on Hank tonight. Looks poised to do his part in getting the top draft pick next year.

Pete Posted September 27, 2018 Share Posted September 27, 2018 He has to be better than this or it will be a very long year.No he doesn't. He has to be this bad. All year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vodka Drunkenski Posted September 27, 2018 Share Posted September 27, 2018 No he doesn't. He has to be this bad. All year. This exactly. Not sure what some people are expecting from this team but they are going to be bad, which is fine, higher pick, build towards the future. This is the first of a few learning seasons.

Dunny Posted September 27, 2018 Share Posted September 27, 2018 The issue is that as he's further exposed as not even really being capable of playing in this league at all anymore, which I increasingly suspect is the case, he's not going to be magnanimous about it. He's going to be a douchebag. I don't think that's very good for the environment. He needs to become the back-up playing 15-25 games ASAP. He can hide his ineptitude better that way, save embarrassment and try to catch lightning in a bottle in small sample sizes. Shestyorkin has to be the #1 next year.

CBrowningPI Posted September 27, 2018 Share Posted September 27, 2018 How can this team play an up-tempo, relentless style of hockey all season knowing that their efforts are cancelled out by poor goaltending? It crushes the will of the team and gets them accustomed to a losing mentality. How can that help their development? It's been nice to see our coach behind the bench without his jaw flapping. Is Quinn really intense or is he an alien? Sent from my SM-N900T using Blueshirts Brotherhood mobile app powered by Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYRangers723 Posted September 27, 2018 Share Posted September 27, 2018 This exactly. Not sure what some people are expecting from this team but they are going to be bad, which is fine, higher pick, build towards the future. This is the first of a few learning seasons. Exactly. Some cant accept rebuilding which i understand. But this is the consequences of going for it every year for 5 years trading firsts and second round picks every trade deadline. Now we have done a good job the last two drafts but its gonna be a rough couple seasons. Thats fine because we will add more high picks and let the kids grow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe carrying Lundqvist's ass will be the thing that brings the team together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andysly5 Posted September 27, 2018 Share Posted September 27, 2018 Wow.... Hank's the guy that carried our team for the first half of the season last year. He's always been a slow starter. We all know this. So, I'm quite surprised that everyone is ready to park his ass on the end of the bench. Has he looked good in preseason? No, not at all. Does it matter? Nope. He'll be fine. He certainly won't be an anchor on this team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only thing Hank carried was a heavy paycheck to the bank.

andysly5 Posted September 27, 2018 Share Posted September 27, 2018 OK, I don't agree with you here. And no, I don't rely on the gibberish we hear from Sam and Joe. Hank faced most amount of high quality shots in the league playing behind that crap defensive system. And he still kept the team in almost every game.

The only thing Hank carried was a heavy paycheck to the bank. Sent from my SM-N900T using Blueshirts Brotherhood mobile app powered by Tapatalk From the start of the season to mid-January Hank was 20-11 with a .925 SV% and 2.54 GAA. That's tied for 7th in wins, tied for 4th in SV%, and 10th in GAA among goalies with at least 20 appearances at that point in the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vodka Drunkenski Posted September 27, 2018 Share Posted September 27, 2018 Somehow we need to move on from Lundqvist solely because of his age. Yes, he was great, carried this team for years but it's time to move on with the rebuild. If there's somehow they can move him by next season, you have to do it IMO.

Big salary cap hit 3. Very limited in teams thats a contender that would need a goalie. Hank isnt going to waive his NTC to go to a bubble team or non-contender.

siddious Posted September 27, 2018 Share Posted September 27, 2018 So who on the Rangers tried to hit Barzel in the open ice and whiffed allowing the 3 on 2? I believe that was Buch. Terrible miss.
