Kris Knoblauch incoming, although they might not wanna mess with all the good momentum they've got rolling down there.

 

ha

 

Going with interim/knoblauch is actually the best way to get these players accountable...its all on them from that point on...no shiny new trotz to save the day...

What about player/coach Reg Dunlop?

Literally everything that was fun last year (and it was fun) has been complete dog shit this year. It's been a complete 180 as far as how we feel about the team, player performance and everything. Crazy.

Yeah it's easier and cheaper at this point.

Can you blame them, though? Hockey is a great spectator sport!

 They were fun to watch last year. Now it's painful

Not sure if this is the right move but his salad dressings are fantastic

Yeah he’s definitely drowning it in Grecian Formula 44. 

I've seen that color before, we used a mix of two stains on our hardwood floors Expresso Black and Dark Walnut.  It's less obnoxious and way more natural looking on the floors.

What a contrast from one year to the next, eh?

He may deserve the boot and all as a coach..but i like the guy a hell of a lot more than AV or Quinney or torts.

Can't fire the players (maybe a few).

Definitely fun. Right now, they need that one player who can get in someone's face in the locker-room, on the bench, and isn't afraid to dial it up while on the ice. Anybody available?

Not for free. So who's getting moved to free up the cap and how?

So fucking sick of watching this team fuck it up every day against teams they are better than. 

They are not better than these Devils. But they could hang with them if they played 60 minutes and had a defensive system.

Don't have to move anybody, just tell them to stay home. Probably won't be missed.

All because Stromer wasn't resigned. Killed the chemistry. Lame.

True. Might be a good idea for Gallant to have the team watch the Devils game film, and tell them "that's how I want you to play"

Again no answer as to how, somebody else already pointed out in the other thread how few teams could afford his cap hit. I don't think you ever responded with a meaningful answer other than trade him. So not going to drag down this thread too without a realistic response.

okay, got it. Don't disagree but again not a realistic option. Unless if by "them" you mean pick a name out of a hat of underperformers and sit them a game sure.

How is it that the Rangers have a recent first overall and a recent second overall and neither one is as fast as 75 percent of the Devils' forwards?

 

Incidentally, speaking of first overalls, here is a list of all who have played for the Rangers since the universal draft started in 1969.

 

LaF

Nash

Berard

Daigle

Lindros

Lawton 

LaFleur
