There was lots of talk about him possibly being named a captain one day. Maybe he was hoping he'd be picked. If i were Kreider i'd tell Panarin to ask for a trade. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last two or three years, especially last year, he was really embracing it and enjoying taking people under his wing, or at least taking on more leadership. I thought he was literally waving right in their faces, "Hey, I would love to be captain!". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just too much hugging and ass grabbing for a captain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were better with four "A's".... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO it's the, "if ain't broke, don't fix it" method. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Br4d Posted November 30, 2022 Share Posted November 30, 2022 4 hours ago, RJWantsTheCup said: Team definitely needs some sort of a defensive structure but it could use a lineup with more energy. Maybe try Kreider Zibanejad Gauthier Panarin Chytil Kakko Lafraniere Trochek Vesey Goodrow Rydahl Trivigno Waive Carpenter. Use Blais as 13th forward. Trade Kravtsov & Jones for a 3rd pair LD. The marriage of Kreider and Zibanejad probably has to be broken up. It's time. Marry Panarin and Zibanejad instead and give them the best possible RW (probably Kakko). Line 2 is Kreider-Chytil-Lafreniere. Line 3 is (call up a kid) - Trocheck - Gauthier. Line 4 is Blais - Goodrow - Vesey Top 3 lines all have some energy at the same time for the first time all season. The Rangers aren't going to fix what's wrong by recycling the same ideas they have been using for the last two seasons. Time to find some new ideas.

I'm all for a shakeup, but Zib and Panarin have never had the magic. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozzy Posted November 30, 2022 Share Posted November 30, 2022 I still think you can shuffle the deck chairs as much as you want...shit ain't happenin'! Until this team decides to play as a unit of 5, be responsible defensively, getting pucks out of our fucking zone effectively, then getting pucks deep and chasing instead of watching, then we'll see some improvement. Until then I think it's just a jerk-off session. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamsim1967 Posted November 30, 2022 Share Posted November 30, 2022 They don't play like a team. They play like a bunch of guys who get together every Friday night in a beer league (more talented obviously). They play hard in spurts, but eventually revert back to looking as if they don't really give a shit while they wait for the final horn. Sure change the lines, might get lucky, but until they hire someone who will hold the players accountable it won't amount to a hill of beans. The big question is whether Drury will pull the trigger this soon on his first hire. You would think that at the NHL level players would be able to hold themselves accountable, but here we are.
