Valriera Posted June 13, 2022 Share Posted June 13, 2022 Tough lesson for the kid and hopefully he sees it as such: 1. We all know GG messed it up. Strome should never have played that game. I don't care who he scratched in place of him. 2. GG owes KK nothing. If you don't like the feeling of being scratched, then get better. Work harder, and don't make it so that your name comes up in that situation again. You're not entitled to anything, no matter where you are in your career. KK can control #2. There will be other coaches here when he is a ranger. He can be better. He can't control #1. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Capt Posted June 13, 2022 Share Posted June 13, 2022 Trying to win a hockey game is dressing Dryden Hunt? Why not dress McKegg? If GG truly believes that Hunt is an upgrade over KK then something is drastically wrong here 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cash or Czech Posted June 14, 2022 Share Posted June 14, 2022 He needs someone to piss in his cheerios. Even if he’s not a physical presence, he still plays a soft game. Being more direct and using his size to his advantage will do wonders for his game and overall production. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It couldn't have been easy for him to show up to the rink and not see his name in the lineup. Whatever his emotions were at the time, he clearly got into the right mindset before talking with the media about it. He handled it superbly.

RichieNextel305 Posted June 15, 2022 Share Posted June 15, 2022 I know it sucks for him, but I honestly don’t know if there was a better way for him to go into the summer than this way. Whether it was necessarily deserved or not (the scratch), hopefully this motivates him and as others have said, puts a major chip on his shoulder. I could be wrong, but was this his first healthy scratch? If so, could imagine first time in his hockey life he was told, “nah you can sit, we got better players.” Can’t imagine that would sit well with him. Listen, we need him. We need him to hit his stride here big time. And fast. He’s been around. He knows the league. He knows he can produce better, and we need it to happen to take the next step. He’s still young, I still believe in this kid. I hope this is the shove he needed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozzy Posted June 15, 2022 Share Posted June 15, 2022 Something or someone needed to light a fire under this kid's ass. I really like this kid, and see SO MUCH potential in him. I think he plays way too timidly for a guy who looks like he's going to be an absolute beast. Maybe this is the boot in the ass he needs to get his head on straight and his shit in gear. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slobberknocker Posted June 15, 2022 Share Posted June 15, 2022 he is still 21. i want to see that kid line thru camp. we were onto something there. GG's game six lineup was a head scratcher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

June1994 Posted June 16, 2022 Share Posted June 16, 2022 (edited) Why? You ruined our chances! Are you serious? Gerard going along wants to keep his job. Chris made the decision I’m sure. Not even analytics rather Pure Primitive hatred aggression towards the kid. He’ll never sign with you Chris and you probably know it that’s why you scratched him. It’s unbelievable. And now you think you can bury the truth. Why isn’t the press jumping all over this? Break up the kid line to PUNISH KAAPO? What about the fans ELIMINATION game !!!! OR maybe a Dbag higher up than C.D. Edited June 16, 2022 by June1994 Added Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
