Saw someone say on Twitter the 13-14 Rangers went 1-5 in the preseason under a new coach, started awfully (Biron got Thanos snapped), and then made the Cup Final. Shit happens. 3

Shit happens. Yeah, they haven't looked that great but as I said in the game thread last night, I think most of these guys are just waiting for the season to start. Mika, Kreider, Panarin, they know what they have to do. Again, if they look like ass three weeks or so into the season, then you can be worried. Right now? I'm really not.

Shit happens. I mean, honestly, I was expecting an extremely rough start. This is a tired core who just went through trauma collapsing the way they did against the Devils, only got older, and are now facing their third coach in like four years? There's just no way in hell they're going to gel and look good until November, earliest. Best case, I think they're .500 heading toward Thanksgiving, and can hopefully get it in gear right before so they don't end up trying to play catch-up.
jsm7302 Posted October 5, 2023 Posted October 5, 2023 So....is it fair to say that 3 preseason games would be plenty going into a season? This has been painful and maybe a waste of time for some of the older crew. It's an 82 game season; I feel like preseason can be cut in half.

Br4d Posted October 5, 2023 Posted October 5, 2023 This is another good game to see where we're at. The Bruins skate hard and play solid hockey. They've got some younger faces getting a look this season and those guys will be looking for any opportunity in the last exhibition game. Let's see where we're at after the game.

siddious Posted October 5, 2023 Posted October 5, 2023 My rule for a new coach is that the first 15 games of the season don’t count. what’s discouraging is the effort level of the top 6 guys has been non-existstant. I am hoping it’s only because it’s preseason 1 1

Sharpshooter Posted October 5, 2023 Posted October 5, 2023 I just hope it's 'only' the first 15 games.
Pete Posted October 5, 2023 Posted October 5, 2023 (edited) These are the NHL Preseason standings. https://www.espn.com/nhl/standings/_/seasontype/pre The records don't mean anything. The performances of certain players do. For the Rangers, you don't worry about the "meh". The highlights: Cullye Othmann Pitlick Gustafsson The Meh: Kakko Jones Wheeler Bonino The regulars The Huge Red Flags Quick Lafreniere Chytil injury Edited October 5, 2023 by Pete 2 1 1

I'd also love to know where Panarin's head is at.

BreakawayMachine Posted October 5, 2023 Posted October 5, 2023 Can anyone confirm if Chytil is actually alive?

Bugg Posted October 5, 2023 Posted October 5, 2023 Chytil; concussion issues are scary. Mika went through a very bad stretch, and Michael Sauer's career being ended on 1 big hit.
H-Dreamer Posted October 5, 2023 Posted October 5, 2023 Why does the Bruins logo look so weird? Is that a special thing for their anniversary or something?
