We've got like 3 of them that might turn into the big scorer. Surely one of them has to prove out? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We might not want to admit it as Rangers fans, but statistically, he had his best years in Washington. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or did not cancel ALL my plans whenever there was a game on? Im sorry Henrik for failing getting you the cup. I'll be by to pick up your fan card. By "We", I mean the Rangers. You're good.

The Dude Posted June 24, 2023 Share Posted June 24, 2023 On 6/22/2023 at 2:19 PM, Br4d said: It's really kind of amazing that the last pure goal scorer the Rangers developed was Rod Gilbert and he was kind of on the low side of what you would consider a pure goal scorer. The Rangers traded for Phil Esposito, who was a great goal scorer, and he immediately became only good at it. I just can't figure out what the deal is. Are there hidden rink effects that we haven't figured out yet? I guess you aren't counting Zibanejad, whom is as consistent of a 30 goal scorer as it gets. Or are we not counting him as developed here, which I wouldn't argue much. He was a 50 point player when they got him and on his way, but the Rangers obviously got the most out of him.

Thats a great goal scorer? I wont call Zibby a great goal scorer either. Good but not great. btw, in your chart both Kreider and Zibby are outside top 20 in the league.

BTW, in my chart, they are both tied for 20th at .42 gpg. .43 gpg goes up to 16th. To say they aren't 2 of the top goal scorers in the league since Zib got here is disingenuous. To think that guys they score 40 goals a year for a decade straight grow on trees and the Rangers somehow failed for not having one is an unrealistic expectation.

Valriera Posted June 25, 2023 Share Posted June 25, 2023 Here’s a take: because of the way he represents the game with the class that he does, Hank is the greatest hockey player of all time. If you could pick one player to represent the entire game of hockey, you’d be deciding between Sidney Crosby and Henrik Lundqvist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
