I’m expecting a passionate and hard working team with a high compete level Tuesday night vs the Dallas Stars.
Sure was nice seeing the Cowboys lose in such a heartbreaking manner.

I’m not expecting much. Home game, dead crowd, struggling goalie, D working their way through fixing mistakes… They could win, but I prefer them on the road again–betting on a good performance in Toronto.

Good morning, boneheads!
Game Day!
Did you watch Washington- Pittsburgh game last night? Wow! Passionate, physical, high scoring game. Defense? Out the window!
SN
The Defense Rests…bigger nets last night?? Murray 7 goals against on 28 shots
Done Doan has been destined to be a Ramger for years. Iginla too.

Passion filled physical hockey…what is that? Lol. We do have the D out the window part down.

No to Doan…or iggy for that matter (unless fast goes the other way).

Doan and Duclair for Yandle

You have to wonder if the rangers need a “vocal” leader in the locker room like
Doan or iggy (S)

I feel like Mike Ribeiro is approaching future Rangerdom as well.
Do we still have any interest in Chelios to pair with McDonagh until Mac learns the ropes?

Who gets waived when Puemple comes back. I know the logical answer is Puemple, but I get the impression the Rangers really like him, and think they may have something. Would they carry 14 forwards? Not something they have done before.
Chance there will be somebody else banged up by the time Pumper gets back.
Betcha Dan Boyle would come out of retirement to shore up the right side D.
ilb2001
BDL- I wouldn’t be surprised if they do carry 14 forwards. So long as they aren’t over 23 man roster limit. They are projected to have close to $9M space at deadline as it is, with all their injuries all year, more than enough to make moves. Removing Puempel will not make that much of a difference, and isn’t worth taking a risk. Especially if they like what they see.
also a pretty good chance that a guy who was waived by Ottawa, passed waivers all the way through to the Rangers, and has since had two concussions, will clear waivers.
Where’s Bobby Holik when you really need him? He’s a free agent, isn’t he?
wicky229
Carp
I wish
Bdl
I don’t disagree Carp,
But scoring is needed in this league, and in 12 games as a 4th liner, Puemple pumped in 5.

Hopefully Hank will string a few good game together and prove us all wrong. If he can’t pull it together it could get really ugly. Not only would the window close, but, the house would fall down.

Interesting tidbit from Vigneault. He said Zibanejad did the training camp on-ice testing again last week. His results: Better than in camp.

Not a fan of an offensive configured 4th line; Puree, Pums, etc. Watching Puree try to skate and back check is painful and Pumps has proven he is no banger.

Staal update?
They should make 61-93-89 the fourth line. Then they’d have a really good fourth line.

I’m glad the blog has finally moved to Eastern Europe Time (EET)! Bos, Otw, Fla, SJ and LA look to be the teams most in need of offensive help. Depending standings may be hard to deal in conference for D help but what do SJ/LA have that we could realistically trade for without giving away the kids (or at least not many)?
Da! But only if Burns will shave that stoopid broom off his face. I bet mice live in that haystack of a beard.

Not sure I see the problem with gudbranson. He’s a good player (been on crappy teams from day 1 in NHL), solid D man, good mobility, is a righty, a pending ufa, decent contract, only 24 or 25 yrs old

C3 they won’t have to steal Tavares. Just gotta wait til 7/2/18
Rangers Report 2.0
Could be that stuff, but I run a lot of things like that on my computers without any issues.
Zibanejad will need a little time. Once he’s in full stride the forward lines should be better than we’ve seen since early Oct. Who’s on the fourth line? Pirri Lindberg and Vesey?
BTW RE: Isles. Wouldn’t Gerard Gallant or Bob Hartley make total sense as the next coach? One who could come in change the dynamic over there and really do some good by installing values and setting the bar high? Doesn’t that make sense? That’s why neither will get the vacant coaching position. Makes too much sense. Snow will come hire like Tom Barasso or Barry Melrose. Stupidity loves company.
Wick you don’t have to worry. The Isles will never hire a coach that makes any sense. That’s not Snow’s way. His top 3 phone calls tomorrow morning will probably be to Trottier, Nolan and Perry Pearn.
And I love it. I love Garth Snow as the Isles GM. I really do. I hope he stays 15 more years. Meanwhile over in Winnipeg, I think the race is on as to which they bring in first. A new goalie or a new GM.
SN
Rumors that Trots is already scribing his coaching application/hockey novel
SN
Oscar hits too much, needs to watch Puree to know how to back check and turn left on his skates.
You gotta hand it to the Isles. Snow resists firing Capuano and then pulls the trigger after his team beats Boston 4-0. I wonder if Snow was afraid Cappy would get the team on a roll before finally flopping.
From what I have heard, Gallant would be the perfect Snow hire. Not sure where I heard/read about it, but Gallant was not portrayed as a good coach at all.

Just like Buchnevich, Zika probably won’t be playing in back-to-backs for a while 🙂
Shane Doan is reportedly willing to waive his NTC to go to a playoff team. Doesn’t he have “bad Rangers deadline trade” written all over him?
Shane Doan would legit put us over the top. Buch and a R1 seems fair. We might need to take on Dave Bolland’s contract though.
Doan for Hank

Journal News sports dept is fifth in Metro
Hank needs a bigger glove and smaller 5 hole! And some side to side slide lessons from Danny G!
DStars = tire fires, thusly the sexy boys will play down to their level & lose. Don’t book it.
FG, not sure they can hold off Carolina or the Devils or Fish Tanks.
Good point about Ribeiro, Dave.
I always like when their fans yell out “STARS” whenever the word is mentioned in the anthem. There’s usually a decent smattering across MSG.
Ribeiro isn’t the “leader” or “winner” that the Rangers usually overpay for.
TJN has a lot of loser points.

I hope Gorton stays away from all these high prized, expensive rentals this year.
Maybe we can pry Barry Beck from Colorado.

we will have to get a youngish quality Dman in here sooner or later. May as well be sooner.

They’re crying about them too Carp

The one (semi) tough guy in the Ranger organization is doing crossword puzzles in Hartford.
Mika is back! He’ll make Rangers great again!
Didn’t Pumper pump three in one game? So other than that, his production is pretty underwhelming. I think they see some upside though.

Sshhh…Hartley needs to be available when we get rid of double bubble this summer

So Lindberg the odd man out with Pirri going back to the middle on the fourth line? I don’t like it.
Only ramen noodles have a longer shelf life than AV.
