JustEndTheSuffering Posted February 9, 2023 Share Posted February 9, 2023 I thought Chytil deserved to be awarded the goal on that last penalty but regardless it shows the kid is firing on all cylinders right now. He battled for that puck. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not living up to the hype but I would not call them busts. Bringing in the Finnish defensemen is going to be big for Kappo. He has career highs in goals and points and is playing well. Laffy is still very young, I expect him to be much better next year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think about guys like Zibanejad and Chytil and it took them a number of years and in Zib’s case a trade from Ottawa before he fully bloomed. Now you are seeing with Chytil really since last year’s playoff really start to bloom. I would be very hesitant to move either guy 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EM31 Posted February 11, 2023 Share Posted February 11, 2023 Seattle needs to snap out their slump. The playoffs are not a lock for them. Was at the game last night. Pretty much worry-free right from the get go and 91 pops his Rangers cherry in the first three minutes. All good stuff. One minor thing is worrying me. In the various cap management scenarios (including how to retain Chytil) some of the options include moving Ryan Lindgren. More than almost any other player he is the heart and soul of this team. I would say this. No, no, no and thrice again no! I hated it but understood when we let Jesper Fast go but this one would be a bridge too far for me. Huge test tonight against the mighty Hurricanes. Huge test if we are serious about making some noise in the division race. New Jersey and Carolina ain't losing very often and tonight we have a chance to inflict some damage directly 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They need to take advantage of all remaining head-to-head games while taking care of out of conference games. The push starts now with 30 games remaining! Carolina 8 points ahead. I’d love to have home ice for the 1st 2 rounds of playoffs 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JustEndTheSuffering Posted February 13, 2023 Share Posted February 13, 2023 Krav wants out again which is not very surprising. I’d be more than happy to get rid of him. No production, not tough enough to play in the NHL and acts like a child. Let’s see if Drury finds someone to trade him to this time.

All of the playoff races coming down to crunch time including the Metropolitan where our recent run of results gives us a real chance to improve our playoff seeding and potentially home ice. If anything they re even more desperate out in the west with so many teams packed in so tightly. Time for this team to develop some swagger and handle the teams we think we are supposed to be able to handle.

TBJ Posted February 15, 2023 Author Share Posted February 15, 2023 NHL Power Rankings: Rangers rounding into form as Stanley Cup contender The New York Rangers are a problem. They have been rolling for a while, and are now making a charge towards the top of the NHL Power Rankings. Since Jan. 1, the Rangers are 12-2-2, good for the best record in the NHL. During this run, the Rangers have averaged 3.75 goals per game and own a goal differential of plus-21. Both of those numbers rank in the top 10. On top of that success, the Rangers have loaded up for a deep postseason run. General manager Chris Drury struck a deal with the St. Louis Blue to acquire Vladimir Tarasenko, who has fit right in with his new team. With Tarasenko in the top six, the Rangers look like a bona fide contender. As the Rangers heat up down the stretch, here are the updated NHL Power Rankings. https://www.cbssports.com/nhl/news/nhl-power-rankings-rangers-rounding-into-form-as-stanley-cup-contender/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
