BreakawayMachine Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 According to this: https://www.foxsports.com/nhl/team-stats The Rangers are 9th in the league in Shots and and 8th in goals. Given our reluctance to shoot sometimes I am surprised to be in the top 10 for both Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ozzy Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 I don't care what these stats say....This team needs to shoot the puck WAY more....especially number 93! There's no way on God's green Earth anyone is going to make me believe we shoot enough... Not Possible! We don't! Period! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sharpshooter Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 True, that Mika's one-timer has gotten predictable, but still, this is his worst shooting year as a Ranger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 He's on pace for the same amount of missed nets as last season, but his shots through % is down 6% from last year. His shots are getting blocked. His shooting percentage is also down 2%. That said, he's one hot streak away from a 30+ goal pace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It just is going to boil down to whether or not these hot streaks land in the playoffs. Remember back to our run in 2022, he went scoreless the first 5 of the Pens series. Then he got 2 in Game 6, another in Game 7, had himself a series against Carolina and was very good against Tampa Bay. When he’s on fire, there’s little you can do to stop him. I just hope that for our sake that one of these famous Mika hot streaks lands again in the playoffs. Edited February 16 by RichieNextel305 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just like basically all of our offensive players, they're so streaky we just have to hope the good streaks come at the perfect time. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could actually see Zibby being a 50 goal scorer. He's THAT good! 100 points should be a dunk shot for him every year. I get so frustrated watching him try to force passes through team with little to no chance of completing the pass. He owes me about 5 new TV remotes over the last 3 seasons! That feather pass he dished to Kreider last night for the trick was fucking exquisite!! That's the only word I can come up for it! He's such a fabulous player and yet he just plays WAY too nicely! I keep thinking if teams had to respect him shooting, it would make his passing lanes open wider. Mika, Please ...with sugar on top .....shoot the fucking puck!

Albatrosss Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 Its all about timing. If the players get hot in April, there’s no stopping them. Thats exactly what happened to St Louis few seasons ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup You need a talented group with some jam and an ability to elevate that has the right guys get hot at the right time, plus some luck and contribution from lower in the lineup players.

siddious Posted February 16 Author Share Posted February 16 I like where this team is going too. I feel like in the past they wouldnt have made the moves of calling up Edstrom and Brodzinski. They are both filling their roles just fine. The addition of a 1RW and a 3C will solidify this team for the playoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a result we have a better read on some guys who might help in April, May and June. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking like you’re going to have some guys from Hartford stepping onto the roster over the next 8 months and playing important roles. Cuylle and Brodz this year. Maybe Edstrom too. Othmann and Sykora potentially next year. And depending on what happens with Quick, maybe Garand as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bonino and Pitlick probably should not have been signed in the first place. The Rangers took chances on a bunch of cheap vets this season and the two that worked out were Quick and Gustafsson. Generally speaking signing five guys to vet minimum contracts to fill out the roster is a dubious practice since their teams have already given up on them. However in this case it allowed the Rangers a long window to evaluate people old and young and was probably a positive thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Firstly, Bonino fell off a cliff. He had 20ish points in 60ish games. 25 or so points is fine for a 4th line PK guy. The other guys they signed either won jobs (Pitlick) or didn't (Nash, Belzille). Quote However in this case it allowed the Rangers a long window to evaluate people old and young and was probably a positive thing. This seems to always have been the plan. Cuylle won a job. Othmann probably was better than Pitlick but they didn't want him on L4. Rempe and Edstrom were right there. Having the vets allowed those guys to marinate in the AHL. The NHL is not a developmental league. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
