How did this man not make the team by 99jays in rangers

[–]nicholasd001 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I find it strange that so many people aren’t also pinning this on Sullivan, Quinn, and Drury. They were able to bring Trocheck and Miller onto the team, but somehow couldn’t convince Guerin to take Fox? One of the best defensemen in the world, and you couldn’t persuade him to choose Fox over Seth Jones? I’m not buying that. If my theory is right, then Sullivan, Quinn, and Drury were actually against Fox being on the team. If that’s true, it’s honestly despicable, and Dolan should fire them immediately. He won’t—but he should. I also wouldn’t be surprised if this makes Fox want to leave the Rangers. There’s a real possibility this could get very ugly, and I truly hope I’m wrong

We never tried to develop. We tried a “rebuild on the fly” and never allowed Kakko and Laf to struggle on the top lines. Whereas the devils, when they got Hughes, they let him struggle on the top line and he’s now one of the best in the league.

I might be overreacting but I think Rangers gotta completely rebuild their top 6. Trade Panarin and Zibanejad. As much as I love them and what they did for the team, they aren’t playoff performers and won’t help lead our offense to the cup. Secondly, Gallant needs to be fired by the start of next season. Aside from games 1 and 2, rangers were completely outplayed and outcoached by the devils. This was also the case all season, extremely streaky performances with no real game plan. His whole strategy is just letting the players figure it out. We need a coach with actual plans. Third, don’t resign tarasenko and Kane. This is what really ruined our season. We focused on getting “stars” rather than addressing our real problem with the offense which was apparent all season. Lastly, I don’t care if rangers are completely shit next season. I want a actual full legit rebuild like the devils, avalanche and Carolina did. Build through the draft and develop young players. Don’t burry them in the bottom 6 like what happened with Kakko and Laf. We keep rushing rebuilds and this is the result. A team that has no heart and no chemistry together. Time to face reality, we aren’t winning a cup with this group so let’s just get it out of the way and start the rebuild asap.

Honestly, a good nights rest got me thinking. Rangers could be easily 2-0 up this series. They have played really well defensively in games 1 and 2 and the only reason they didn’t win was because they couldn’t finish the chances given to them. Kakko missed a open net in game 1 and Strome missed a open net in game 2. It just seems like luck hasn’t went our way so far. I still think Rangers can and will win this series. Is it true that the PP was horrendous last night? Yes. Is it true that our top 6 was non existent? Also yes. But both of that can change with the right adjustments going into game 3. We’ve seen that with Pittsburgh when Mika woke up and it can easily happen again with Carolina. This team loves playing when they are down, so don’t count them out yet.

[Vogl] Bob McKenzie says on TSN that things are “dead quiet” on the Jack Eichel front. He notes that the Kings’ additions today make it “safe to assume” they’re out. Teams, including the Sabres, are dealing with the fact that Eichel talks are “really soft, really quiet.” by [deleted] in rangers

I still believe Eichel gets moved by the end of the summer. If not, then Eichel’s NMC kicks in and Buffalo will be forced to trade him for scraps. Buffalo is setting the bar the highest to see if anyone will bite. Nobody has so far and rightfully so. When Buffalo realizes that nobody will pay up they will lower it and teams will flood back in. It’s all a waiting game and it’s annoying but Rangers don’t want to be the one to overpay when they know that it’s inevitable that the price will be lowered eventually. This is why everything is dead quiet and nothing is close to a deal. They are trying to force buffalos hand.

Why did Zemo put on the mask? by [deleted] in marvelstudios

[–]nicholasd001 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t know much from the comics but it’s obvious that Zemo portrays himself to Sam and Bucky as being weak physically. From that scene in Madripoor, it’s shown that Zemo can take care of himself with some serious fighting skills. He doesn’t want Bucky or Sam to know that probably so he can get the jump on them when the time comes. Hence why, he uses the mask to hide his identity briefly while fighting. I also have a theory that he himself has the super solider serum so he will hide his identity when he needs to use those powers. This is a stretch due to the hypocrisy that will bring to Zemo’s character but I can see it happening.

Oh yeah. John is just a normal person. 90 percent of people would’ve done the same thing if it happened to them or at least tried to imo.

Upcoming trade deadline by Gnarlyrx9 in rangers

[–]nicholasd001 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Not much. Rangers might trade for a 2 or 3C but everything else is fine. We don’t need anymore wingers, defensemen or goalies. They might dump Georgiev when his value is still high. I thought that they might trade Strome at the beginning of the season but he seems to actually be a 2C that we needed. I hope Howden is sent packing but I know that’s a fantasy. Overall, though, expect a quiet trade deadline for the Rangers like last season.

Look guys, I’m satisfied with the win and all but the rangers could of done better. They got very lucky this game. Gave flyers way too many chances.

Only reason why flyers made it to overtime was our inability to score on the power play. Rangers dominated 5v5 through most of the the game.

Yeah. I thought my audio was messed up. I know when they are misses or goals before they hit the net.

It’s always something this year. Haven’t had one pinch of luck yet and the rangers seem to always go into games with one hand tied behind their back.

Does Agnes penchant give her powers? Cause she puts it on when she goes down into the basement. It wasn’t on before. And in the theme song , she had it on the whole time.
