Can't wait to watch the games live with you folks... Preseason blacked out until Regular season...But I do watch them 3 hours later.
I don't know if anyone asked, but how did you hold up during the hurricane?
Thanks Rob... We got wind and 48 hrs of rain and nothing else. These are the storms that stop me from buying a property on the beach.

They aren't supposed to he better than they were in April. They're rebuilding. And if they do it right we'll be even worse this coming April. I won't root against my team during a game, but I hope we're terrible. I have a feeling they won't be as bad as I want though. |

| What an amazing bunch of negative assholes on this board. LOL. Holy crap. This thread is fukkkking pathetic. Most of these players don't give a crap about the pre-season because they don't have to.
These are the lines I would put out. I would use Fast and Andersson on lines with some of our dumber forwards or those who are less tenacious. Kreider is dumb. Buchnevich is lazy. Not a Lettieri fan but looks like he will make it. I don't like the fact that neither Hajek or Lindgren make this team. This is not a committed rebuild with Staal and Smith out there. It's just not. Fontaine never got a shot this camp which is mind boggling.
Kreider-Zibanejad-Andersson
Buchnevich-Hayes-Fast
Chytil-Spooner-Zucc
Vesey-Namestnikov-Lettieri
Skjei-Pionk
Smith-McQuaid
Staal-Shattenkirk
After or close to the deadline I better see something like this.
Kreider-Zibanejad-Andersson
Buchnevich-Hayes-Fast
Chytil-Howden-Zucc
Vesey-Fontaine-Lettieri
Skjei-Pionk
Hajek-McQuaid
Lindgren-Shattenkirk
Dumbasses on this board also need to realize the Rangers draft 2 way players. They only have been doing it for years. They take long to develop their offensive game. This no top end talent crap is sad. This team beat all these top end talent teams almost every playoff series for years with a roster full of 2 way players. Yeah, if they had one or two top end guys with those 2 way players they might have won multiple cups. They might have one in Kravtsov. I believe K'Andre Miller's ceiling is very, very, high. So just chill out peckerheads. I read stupid horseshiiiitt like I see Andersson as a bottom 9 player. He's 19 you turd. When the Rangers first built around Hank, they didn't have kids making the team until they were 22.

| So proclaims the board doofus. I was upset when they banned BelieveMe, but at least we still have you to laugh at.
You honestly believe that Lisa Andersson was a better option than Mittelstadt? Krapsov is a better option than Wahlstrom?

| The only doofos is you and the rest of the dumbasses who were sucking off Torts and Renney for years and proclaimed back then all our prospects sucked. None of you had any balls and ever admitted you were wrong back then. Just like you won't now. You would have thought you learned something. Mittlestadt wasn't even a dominant player in college. Do some research you asswipe. I doubt you ever saw the guy play more than a few games. Those Renney and Torts lovers are the same asswipes that are over on HF. You talk like you are scouts when you know exactly NOTHING compared to Clark and his crew. All I heard you do is bash a bunch of 19 year old players who made the NHL because they don't look like they will put up 60 points as a rookie. If you read the scouting reports, Mittlestadt's intangibles are non existent to a player like Andersson.

Just shut up. Dumbasss? Looks who's calling the kettle black. You proved over the past 15 years to all of us here that you know nothing about hockey or evaluating talent. If you were the GM, you'd be run out of NY faster than Trottier. Gordie Clark's track record sucks. Our draft picks suck. |

I know very little about these prospects beyond what I see in preseason. The only thing I do know is when Dump tells us how great one of them is, he's about to be released from the organization or traded for scraps. |

Location: USA | In my mind I don't see the Rangers being competitive this year, but they wouldn't have been if they'd kept the team together from last year either.
Much of the team hasn't played together for any meaningful time, and they're adopting a new philosophy under Quinn. They're pretty limited offensively, though there's some promising signs early on with the power play. More concerning I think is how the defense, PK and Lundqvist do at keeping puck out of the net. As we saw in the last 18 months of Vigneault, the Rangers folded under pressure, something they actually were pretty good at prior to that last year and a half or so.
The failure to lock up a game lead to the departure of a number of veterans, and they've been replaced by a relatively motley crew. It's a mix of depth players/cast offs, modest prospects, with some higher end prospects that have had little or no pro experience.
The goaltending from Lundqvist and Georgiev in the preseason has been less impressive than you'd hope, and goes into the season and a question mark in my mind.
The defense has even more questions, with veterans Smith, Shattenkirk, McQuaid and Staal all having limitations to their effectiveness at this stage of their careers, Skjei...who seems to be trying to do too much himself, and the relatively inexperienced group of DeAngelo, Pionk and Claesson, backed up by borderline NHLers in Gilmour, O'Gara and Bigras. The new guys in Hajek, Lindgren and to some extent Crawley, will probably need more time to determine whether they can make it.
And as for the offense, the power play has looked promising, but there's little proven top end talent on the team outside of the inconsistent Zibanejad, Kreider and Buchnevich trio. Spooner looks promising, Namestnikov and Vesey more disappointing, and it may very well be up to Hayes and Zuccarello to step up or be traded at the deadline. As for Chytil and Andersson, they're so early in their careers, and have both shown glimpses...but we really need to see more of them to get a better sense...and Howden to me needs some AHL time.
If I was to predict, I'll say the Rangers will finish around 11th or 12th in the East at the end of the season, but I'm not sure I see how they could have finished much higher given the mortgage they put on their future as they rolled off a relatively successful 11 years or so. |
