4EverRangerFrank Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 Micheletti says skeij was in the area. He gave zucc a hospital pass. Agree. Zucc was put in a tough spot from that pass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
josh Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 Judging by your posts on Z and Skjei, yes. ;-) Im never sour about ones success. I’m a capitalist. But I can still criticize. I’m an American. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Giacomin Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 Johnny's highly skilled, effective and entertaining? Josh why is highly skilled, effective and entertaining not your cup of tea?

4EverRangerFrank Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 Post-game, Zucc, Zib and Henrik sounding lost and down a bit. They know we need to finish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Giacomin Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 That was still fun. The future looks promising. Give Chytil a year or so and he is going to grow into a top line player. He just needs time, he's still developing big time. And he really has a lot of upside. The move to the wing was smart, he's actually able to work on his D w/o the pressure of playing C and it gets him more ice time in the top 6/9. Pionk is for real. He has the potential to be a valuable top 4 defender on a top team. He's getting better defensively, give him another year to be completely reliable. Offensively, his speed, skill and shot are already on display. He's flashing the potential to be a dominant puck possession dman. As that comes around, he will be dangerous.

Dartmouth313 Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 I really want to see Lias Anderson on MSG ice. I thought he was deserving of playing on this Ranger team. I also think Ron Duguay got a raw deal and want him back on the broadcast. Steve V. talks and dissects the Rangers in his own opinion and not mine and talks way too much and I won't watch the post game with him there.

Bugg Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 Quinn summed it up, “We need to be more opportunistic. Shoot the puck quicker and stop holding it so long.” I like the direction and philosophy.Finishing matters. Don't care about "good looks" or the shot clock as much as scoring. The finishing will come with the younger guys if they follow through. Hayes, Zucc, Vesey; still trying to slow the play down, make the extra pass, look for the perfect shot. Things move too fast for that. Understand that these guys get ice time for trade value, and there's no point complaining, it is what it is. But their collective failure is how we got here.And simply doing that if you don't finish is not the same as carrying the play or dominating. Teams have seen it on tape, it's been scouted and they're happy to let you keep passing it around and slowing it down to get more defenders back and the goalie time to set up.

Shatty is superfluous on this team, would be great to find a taker for him. Hope he goes on a scoring streak and builds some trade value. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, inability to finish was a huge factor, yesterday. I think we were hoping that the vets could produce a bit more, on a regular basis, to allow the kids the chance to continue to grow. I don’t think we’ve seen that as much as we need to, regardless of state of the team in a rebuild. Was personally hoping the college boys would step up under Quinn, but hey - I’m told to be patient.

Dunny Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 I wonder what they're saying about patience in Buffalo, Arizona, Edmonton... Seems to me like you're most likely to become a perennial loser when doing a full rebuild than a perennial contender. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LONG LONG LONG TIME FAN Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 45 shots; one goal. This team still can't score, makes too many mistakes, particularly in the defensive zone, and has meager physi-CALL-ity. Cody Mac? Wasted roster space, imho.

Seems to me like you're most likely to become a perennial loser when doing a full rebuild than a perennial contender.Those three teams have been awful for 5+ years. Not 1+. Wonder what Toronto has to say, Winnipeg...That said they are 2 sides of the barbell. Many teams fall in middle like Calgary, Colorado, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gravesy Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 I’m not sure I can see an alternative to patience. The roster is completely shit and even Scotty Bowman at the height of his powers would struggle to do anything at all with it. No option but to settle in and hope for a couple of high picks and our prospects panning out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No option but to settle in and hope for a couple of high picks and our prospects panning out. A couple top-end players completely changes the outlook. Forward + a defenseman, bumps everyone down in the pecking order, adds production, taking off pressure of youngsters while assisting a boost in production among vets. Ottawa went from a cup contender to a lottery pick after Karlsson got hurt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
