JustEndTheSuffering Posted June 4 Share Posted June 4 Dolan is the least of the Rangers problems right now. He’s been a solid owner for the NYR, he doesn’t get in the way and he cuts the checks. What else can you ask for? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GangGreened Posted June 4 Share Posted June 4 Gotta approach Mika gently about waiving his NMC, but if it upsets him so be it. He’s the most overrated, overpaid player on the team. He scores 4 points in one game then is a non factor for the next 5 games. He’s way too inconsistent to be the top C. He was bad all year and looked scared on the ice against Florida. I know we are likely stuck with him, but he’s way too soft of a player to be a true 1C. Messed up big time with that contract 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems like he meddles more in the Knicks and leaves the Rangers to the hockey guys. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Florida had 5.06 per game during regular season, Rangers 3.70. During game 6, a lot of times I saw Rangers on the ground by Sergei without the puck, no calls. "Missed" tripping end of game 4, Reinhart knocks Trouba in face at end of game 4, no call. "Let them play", yet a bunch of softies in my opinion were called on Rangers during the series. Only one they got away with in game 6 was the defenseman slash on Tkachuk. Not to mention game 5 when Mikkola ran Igor over and then they call offsetting penalties when could have been 5 on 3. I'm a Ranger fan but to me that's a bit of sour grapes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They need to go all in, defenseman up high, and the fowards by the net. They must create opportunities around the net. They cannot fall behind 2-0. They have to change strategy against these guys. On 6/1/2024 at 11:15 PM, Maynard13 said: Dont agree. They just disappeared. Just dont get it. Did the same thing the last number of times they've been in the playoffs with thier previous HC's. Their 'leaders' just vanish and they totally depend on their goaltender. You cant win like that in the NHL. I dont care who your goaltender is. They are not physical enough and dont have enough muscle. They are a finess team and it just doesnt translate in the playoffs. The Panthers were the better team. Barkov is an absolute beast. The Rangers stars disappeared because Florida is incredible defensively. It hurts to say but the better team won. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TuscanyTile2 Posted June 5 Share Posted June 5 On 6/3/2024 at 12:46 AM, EM31 said: The bottom line is that this team was out skated for much of the time in all three of our playoff series. Yes even Washington. Igor was great and against both Washington and Carolina we were able to snipe goals at important times. This team as currently constructed is not going anywhere. We need to remove Trouba who is a defensive liability. One that we have been able to overcome most of the time but someone who has contributed to many of the turnovers which have lead to Grade-A chances against us. We need to figure out why such a large amount of the team's current salary cap is tied up in players who have either contributed nothing or almost nothing in three straight playoff runs. Panarin, Zibanajad and yes, Kreider. When you add Trouba into that mix those are four players with huge salary cap allocations who have not given us anything positive and in the case of Trouba, Panarin and Zibanajad who have actually been net negatives on the ice. None of those four is going to magically get any younger or any better next year. Kreider contributed nothing in this playoff run? Not fair at all. I'd love it if they can move on from Trouba. Panarin is still a great regular season player but seems too small against the more physical teams. Zibanejad did not have a god playoffs. He also doesn't score at 5v5. His contract could looks like it's going to be a real problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shawn306 Posted June 5 Share Posted June 5 Mika has 6 years left at 8.5 million per. I don't think that is movable Kreider 3 years at 6.5 Million. Might be movable Panarin 2 years at 11.6 million per year. Probably not movable Trouba 2 years at 8 Million per year. Maybe Igor is talking about 13 million per for his next deal. Yikes Drury is going to have do some creaative Sh!t to make this work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn’t really argue that “the better team won”, but there is no way the Rangers played up to their ability in that series. It’s a trend we see every year in the playoffs with this group. Boston put up a bigger fight than the Rangers did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can’t imagine Jones would have played worse than Trouba did though. He’s likely going to be a 3rd pairing anyway next year, hope we can find a way to dump him.

Pretty sure he said his ankle was better by the time playoffs rolled around although he’d obviously still be in pain. Either way he was the biggest defensive liability on the team and him and Zibanejad are the two biggest reasons we aren’t playing for a Stanley Cup.

Lose in 7 2024. up 2-1 on Florida in the ECF. Lose in 6. It is pretty obvious that when space gets tight and the D locks down they have issues. They need to find a guy who can produce when that space gets tight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bicketybam Posted Thursday at 06:46 PM Share Posted Thursday at 06:46 PM The Panthers are legit. They built a team made for the playoffs. Unlike last year where the Rangers chocked to a paper tiger Devils team (112 points to 81 points), they lost to the best team in hockey. They absolutely need to make some changes or they will suffer the same fate next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
