But can anyone say they heard GG speak this knowledgeably? "Heh, they played hard and when they fell behind, I told em to play harder. Troubs knows how to push em. Thanks guys."

Ozzy Posted September 22, 2023 Share Posted September 22, 2023 This team soooo needed to be coached. I like the approach so far from Lavvy. He just seems like a good dude with heaps of knowledge. Seems he can identify with the kids and the vets. I can't help it, I'm so pumped for this year! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Br4d Posted September 22, 2023 Share Posted September 22, 2023 I'm going to take it all in as it happens. I'm hoping things are better this year but I want to see it in action before I fall for it. Got totally burned by the Jets hype this past off-season (again!) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They still have a very good defense and will be in a lot of games. I still think they can make the playoffs with what they have.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ozzy Posted September 22, 2023 Share Posted September 22, 2023 That doesn't look too shabby. I kinda like the Fox/Miller combo, and I eventually would like to see how Lindgren/Schneider would work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RodrigueGabriel Posted September 22, 2023 Share Posted September 22, 2023 I wonder how well Bread can constrain his improvisational "I do stupid shit" nature and knuckle down into a system. Others have wanted more organization. He's just always wanted a free hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree that they have a chance at playoffs but they have a better chance at 1-16 and then picking a LT for Rodgers instead of a QB... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jsm7302 Posted September 22, 2023 Share Posted September 22, 2023 You guys feel that??? The positivity, the flow, the fast pace, the camaraderie......feeling special...or maybe it's just coming off the long layoff? Either way, I'm freaking excited!!! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichieNextel305 Posted September 22, 2023 Share Posted September 22, 2023 One thing to remember too is that this group, together, has been through a lot. There has been hardly any roster turnover the last little while. The locker room has gone largely unchanged for a little while now. Sure, there have been flashy upgrades and people who have come and gone. But the core, and the majority of the roster, has remained unchanged. And these guys have gone through a lot together. Three separate coaches, three 7-game series, a run to the ECF. Highs and lows. Everyone in that room has seen each other at their best and at their worst. That means something. And sometimes, most of the time, you need to learn to walk before you can run. Hopefully, Laviolette is able to do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To me, that provided the adversity and hunger this core needed. You laid it out very well. No reason to sleep on a team like us because in my very biased opinion, this 2 year window, is a championship or bust period. The pieces are there; they just need the blessings of the hockey gods.

Yep. Agreed. Everyone is drooling all over the Devils, which I’m not gonna knock. It’s a good, young, explosive team. And their best player is an emerging superstar. They’re going to be a good team. Carolina is Carolina, which is a compliment. They’re just a complete team with an elite coach. As always, they will also be tough. But the Rangers, at this time last year, were a trendy favorite for a potential Cup run. Not much from the roster has changed. They’re now getting slept on a bit. There is still a lot to like about the makeup of this team. There’s a lot of elite talent in that room, and good depth to the roster virtually everywhere. I’m sure we’re gonna be right in the thick of things when it comes to the top of the division going into the playoffs.

Albatrosss Posted September 22, 2023 Share Posted September 22, 2023 you guys remember how before the 1993-1994 cup winning season the rangers we're good, then didnt make the playoffs in 93, then the new coach came in and they won the Cup that season? This team is nothing like it 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
