TBJ Posted April 24 Author Share Posted April 24 Filip Chytil practicing as Rangers playoff lineup questions loom https://nypost.com/2024/04/23/sports/filip-chytil-practicing-as-rangers-playoff-lineup-questions-loom/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EM31 Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 Mika was a big contributor last night which bodes well for our chances. PP slap shot still seems a little off however. Cannot overestimate the improvement in defense with moving back to a Schneider/Miller pairing. Time to put the Caps out of their misery this weekend and then get ready for Carolina 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TBJ Posted April 24 Author Share Posted April 24 Chytil is "doing well and close" to returning to game action. Filip Chytil has been practicing with the team for nearly two weeks now, with his speed and intensity ramping up each day. He was expected to miss the rest of the season following a scary timeline of injuries − first a suspected concussion on Nov. 2, one of at least four he's believed to have sustained in his career, followed by a setback on Jan. 26 − but the 24-year-old center has progressed ahead of schedule and been medically cleared to practice in full.

shawn306 Posted April 25 Share Posted April 25 Interesting question. Who sits then if Chytil actually does come back ? Rempe ? Wennberg ? The way the lines are playing right now, emphasis on right now I would be hard pressed to put in a guy who missed basically the entire season. I wouldn't touch the 4th line right now. Vesey, Goodrow and Rempe are playing really well. The only place I see him right now would be on the third line maybe for Kakko or Wennberg ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As much as a risk as Rempe may be because the Caps will be running around wild tonight on their home ice, he has actually kept a pretty level head the last two weeks. He has fit in perfectly on that line and has contributed way beyond just being a physical presence. He skates, hits and scored a beautiful goal. Quite honestly, he gives them 100% more than Kaako, who is only playing because of his draft slot. I would take Rempe every day of the week over Kaako.

I don't think they have any plans on rushing him back into the lineup, so it's probably too early to make this call. However, if it becomes apparent that a change needs to be made, then having Chytil available is huge. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TBJ Posted April 26 Author Share Posted April 26 Shesterkin gave up a real softy, 34 seconds later the Rangers score (Kreider deflection from Zibanejad) Way to pick up your goaltender after a really bad goal. Then Goodrow scores shorthanded from Trocheck and Matt Rempe hits like a truck. Rangers looking really good so far, a lot of odd man rushes and great penalty killing. *edit to be fair the puck did knuckle on Shesty.

TBJ Posted April 29 Author Share Posted April 29 Artemi Panarin’s game-winning goal moves him up in Rangers, NHL record books Panarin’s 123 points through the regular season and playoffs so far surpassed Vic Hadfield for the second-most by a Ranger in a single season — behind only Jaromir Jagr’s 124 points in 2005-06. https://nypost.com/2024/04/29/sports/artemi-panarins-game-winning-goal-moves-him-up-in-rangers-nhl-record-books/ 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
32EBoozer Posted Wednesday at 02:48 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 02:48 PM Hurricanes @ Rangers!! MSG will be rocking. Need to jump out early, as they are such an offensively talented team.

TBJ Posted Wednesday at 11:26 PM Author Share Posted Wednesday at 11:26 PM Another monster-sized Rangers prospect sees path to NHL thanks to Matt Rempe The legend of Matt Rempe has taken the NHL by storm since he debuted at the Stadium Series back in February. While New York Rangers fans have fallen in love with the 6-foot-8 rookie that hits like a train and is willing to take on any heavyweight, his success is catching the eye of another monster-sized prospect. Dylan Roobroeck, selected in the sixth round of the 2023 draft by the Blueshirts comes in at 6-foot-7, and has taken his game to another level after seeing Rempe’s success on Broadway. As the Oshawa Generals find themselves one win away from the Ontario Hockey League Final, his coach Derek Laxdall made a very interesting observation. “It’s funny, ever since Rempe has come on the scene with the Rangers, Dylan has really picked up his game,” Laxdall explained. “He sees the effectiveness of a big, heavy player and what he could do. Dylan has a great skill set. He skates well for a big man… he’s really taken a huge step in that area.” https://www.foreverblueshirts.com/big-nyr-prospect-inspired-by-matt-rempe/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

section314 Posted Thursday at 02:42 PM Share Posted Thursday at 02:42 PM Rangers match up well with the Canes, plus they have a big edge between the pipes. Rangers in 5. The Panthers are the threat to the Rangers, the main reason being that they are the only one of the remaining teams that have the clear advantage in the nets. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
