EM31 Posted November 1, 2023 Share Posted November 1, 2023 15 hours ago, TBJ said: Rangers Sweeping a Five Game Road Trip is Impressive, so Are They For Real? I am skeptical right now. We still have the same players who disappeared in the playoffs last year. The defense looks a bit better but it will all rest on whether either of our premier first rounder picks (Kakko and Laffy) develop into game changing players and neither of them has shown any signs of doing that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EM31 Posted November 2, 2023 Share Posted November 2, 2023 Metropolitan 1st place vs. 2nd place tonight at the garden. Early days yet but this is a good time for the Rangers to send an early message to the Hurricanes and the rest of the division and additionally, begin to establish the idea that MSG is a tough place to come in and leave with any points. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EM31 Posted November 3, 2023 Share Posted November 3, 2023 Metropolitan division is going to be a bear again this year. Last year we let a couple of teams get out to a big points lead early and we could never get all the way back. Nice to see we are starting quickly ourselves this year. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bicketybam Posted November 3, 2023 Share Posted November 3, 2023 Metro is a very solid division. Won't be easy to come out on top. But it's nice to start fast. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TBJ Posted November 3, 2023 Author Share Posted November 3, 2023 The Metro is going to be tough, hopefully the Rangers stay healthy, continue the excellent D and special teams and can pick it up in 5 on 5. Looking around the league only Vegas and Boston have had better starts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EM31 Posted November 3, 2023 Share Posted November 3, 2023 I like that Laffy is getting a bit feisty out there. He may never be a Jack Hughes in terms of ability to score but maybe he can go the route of Matthew Tkachuk to becoming a difference maker. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully Kaapo can turn into at least a 20 goal guy at this point. They were never going to be as valuable as Hughes, not only is he doing much better, but he's also a center.

Brennan Othmann is probably the top prospect in Hartford, but Brodzinski has been playing really well. 6 goals, 5 assists in 7 games. Fox is going to be out longer, that was a knee on knee, it sounds bad. ☹️ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chytil can be dynamic, hopefully he'll be back soon. If Kaapo can start chipping in, and we can stay healthy, we're going to be tough beat on most nights.

Is it simply adding Gustafsson, or is it the D group kids as a whole growing into their full man sizes or is it a renewed emphasis on team defense from the new coaching staff? Probably all of the above but I really do like the Gustafsson acquisition Right now we are playing shut down hockey and everything else is flowing from that. The Jury is still out on Wheeler but even there we are seeing signs 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with you he’s too slow and thinks for too long for the speed that is played in the playoffs but I’m hoping that last year was a wake up call and he can play with more pace when the time comes.

TBJ Posted November 13, 2023 Author Share Posted November 13, 2023 Laffy with 2 goals, ties the game with 11 seconds to go! Cuylle got jerked for a goal in this one. Laffy wins it in the shootout! Quick is 4-0-1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
