Maybe he breaks out tomorrow. He hasn't, but you have to try him in a role that's most likely to unlock his offense. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bugg Posted November 4, 2021 Share Posted November 4, 2021 (edited) Tomorrow nignt the Oilers are retiring Kevin Lowe's #4 before he gets inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame . As an aside, the Rangers should have long retired #4 for Ron Greschner and Kevin Lowe; may be this will be an impetus for that. Sadly Greschner's mom passed away so she won't be able to see that. No idea if anyone from M$G reads this forum,but rather than bore us with nonsense stats , stilted interviews with the weird Michelle Gingras and the meandering crosstalk of Joe and Sam, perhaps you can simply show us the ceremony. Please do not repeat the fiasco that was opening night for the Habs, of not showing that in favor of the above, along with not bothering to even google the trainer who was retiring. Figures to feature a number of players who were also New York Rangers during their career. Lowe is not only hockey history, but Rangers history Might actually be...fun?

ThirtyONE Posted November 5, 2021 Share Posted November 5, 2021 Gallant has given everyone a fair shake at this point. The offense continues to look like it's missing at least one more skilled player. I really don't know what the solution is at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sod16 Posted November 5, 2021 Share Posted November 5, 2021 Gresch was a good player, but not the stuff of jersey retirements. Longevity with the team isn't enough. The Mets have not retired Ed Kranepool's number. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No offense, but why would MSG Network show the Habs opening night festivities? I don’t think MSG has ever shown the opposing teams home opening ceremonies. I don’t think many broadcasts ever really do. Tonight will be a fun one. Edmonton can obviously fly. One of our only chances to see McDavid.

Karan Posted November 5, 2021 Share Posted November 5, 2021 14 hours ago, Pete said: Nothing to do but let the first round picks develop. Yup pretty much. This is the level of production we're going to have to accept until they develop over the coming seasons, short of the Rangers going out an acquiring a top 6 scoring winger. But I can't see them giving up developing aspects/picks given the direction they've chosen, but who knows what they decide at the deadline.

McKegg isnt going anywhere. He kills penalties and is trusted to be out there to close out the game. I would think it would be Hunt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont think Drury understands that process. Unless they really plan on sending down Lafreniere or Kakko and still have Hajek and Gauthier sit. But, again, that would fall under not understanding the process. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichieNextel305 Posted November 5, 2021 Share Posted November 5, 2021 Is Lafreniere really playing 4th line tonight? If so, not against it. He needs a nice kick in the ass; and he seems like the kind of kid that will respond to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuc Posted November 10, 2021 Share Posted November 10, 2021 1 minute ago, jsrangers said: I'm kinda tired of hearing this. Yeah obviously they need to shoot more, but they need help to figure out how they do it. Are they supposed to start firing shots from the red line? Because that's often where they get stopped. "Crash the net", "put more pucks to the net" - well, when our entire 2nd line hates to shoot, Kreider don't know how to (to be fair he has a couple nice snipes this season) and Lafreniere never gets the puck to shoot (unless someone dekes the entire team and gives him an open net) that leaves us with Zibanejad and bottom 6 scrubs to shoot. Gauthier crashes the net all the fucking time, but he can't do much else. Hunt doesn't do anything else then firing off shots, but he misses all the time. tl;dr - We don't have any shooters on the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
josh Posted November 10, 2021 Share Posted November 10, 2021 Well, Gauthier doesn't crash the net all the time. He only goes to the net when he gets the puck in his own zone, skates along the boards, cuts through to the net with his one move. And then he's invisible for the next 3 games until he does it again. They're soft, perimeter players. This is why we wanted a big bodied center during the offseason. The grit they added loves to stay on the outside. You only see Blais taking runs at guys in the corner, or trying to stick handle the puck near the blueline only to dump it into the corner. Goodrow has no hands, Gauthier has no vision, Hunt just circles around the outside, Panarin plays like a scared 8 year old, Strome has no legs, Zibanejad is more inconsistent than Kreider, Lafreniere is chasing, Kakko is choking, Reaves is too slow, McKegg is too shitty. That leaves us with Rooney. And he leads the team is ES goals! When Zibanejad is going, he scores all of his goals around the net. And it becomes infectious. As he and Panarin stick to soft perimeter play, you're going to see the trend continue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
