Sharpshooter Posted September 27, 2023 Share Posted September 27, 2023 lol Yes. Also, it's kind of an odd scheduling thing that we don't play the Islanders in the regular season until late in February. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gotta fight this conjecture with facts, such as: Lafreniere in a 3-0 loss: 3 SOG, 21 minutes TOI Othmann in a 4-1 win: 1 SOG, 2 Hits in 16 minutes TOI Lafreniere looked ok in the game against Boston however he didn't look special and given what was on the ice that game that is a bit troubling. If I could find one word to describe what he needs right now it is urgency. Too often he settles in on the periphery and waits for something to happen. He's not out of position when he does that but he's also not making anything happen. The Rangers used him on the right point on the PP and for whatever reason the puck wasn't coming out to him and I'm not really sure what the point of having him there was if the puck wasn't going to cycle out there. He spent a lot of time standing around waiting for the puck to come back to him and again for whatever reason it wasn't cycling his way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dude Posted September 27, 2023 Share Posted September 27, 2023 3 hours ago, Sharpshooter said: Lafreniere disgusts me, but holy overreaction Batman. lol Nah. Lafrenière was ineffective and really did a lot of nothing. Maybe he'll show up in the next game. Othmann had a much better game. Not sure how that's overreacting. Just an obvious observation. I'll give Lafrenière the excuse of playing with lesser line mates. I can't even remember who his LW was. I mean he's only a 1st overall pick. Not like we should expect him to be the best player on his line... Orrrrr, show something, when the coach blatantly says that guys who want bigger roles really have to show they want it. IDK, Im probably alone in thinking the 2 are in sort of a competition. IMO they should be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's hiw it works. Who needs to watch the game when you can look at the stats? Edited September 27, 2023 by The Dude Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albatrosss Posted September 27, 2023 Share Posted September 27, 2023 I love Othmann's hits but they seem borderline. I feel that he's going to get his ass kicked few times for those hits which will probably make him think twice before hitting. IDK, we'll see how he progresses.

Albatrosss Posted September 27, 2023 Share Posted September 27, 2023 I loved Trochek's game last night. He was all over the ice mixing it up. guy is fearless. He may not mesh well with Panarin but he's a damn good overall center. Very underrated IMO 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO they should be. It is one preseason game, though. But, there may be a slight competition for sure. I think Othmann definitely has a chip and has more desire than Laf at this point. lol The whole 'will over skill' thing is a thing here. 28 minutes ago, CCCP said: I loved Trochek's game last night.

Very underrated IMO I like Tro a lot, he was a really good signing, even though I still think the contract may be a bit much. He still provides a lot of what this team needs more of in its good players. I actually think he can be even better under Laviolette. I remember early last season he had terrible puck luck. Remember all of those posts he hit? The man could easily have had well over 30 goals last year. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted September 27, 2023 Author Share Posted September 27, 2023 The Trocheck deal was never a bad one — the problem the Rangers have is they have two "second-line centers," and they've paid both of them, so the team always feels like it has one of Trocheck or Chytil "too low" in the lineup.

Sharpshooter Posted September 27, 2023 Share Posted September 27, 2023 Yeah. I don't know if I would have given him seven years though, and the AAV is a little up there. It's definitely not the worst thing in the world, though. I'm glad he's here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil Posted September 27, 2023 Author Share Posted September 27, 2023 Considering he signed as a UFA, he's probably on one of the better unrestricted deals in the league for who he is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharpshooter Posted September 27, 2023 Share Posted September 27, 2023 Indeed, and I'm glad Drury made him a priority last offseason. He knew what he wanted, and went hard after it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
