James G here, I’m sick of scrolling and I’m sure you guys are as well.

Now how about that, huh? World’s greatest new post. Best in the world means that I’m better than just #1.

    I have to admit, once in a great while, I use my phone to access this site. Scrolling down for five minutes is aggravating.

    I am excited for another Rangers season. Lots of stories, lots of drama. Hopefully lots of wins.

    As for the PP I’m glad to see the Zibanejad-Kreider-Buchnevich line in tact for at least the PP.

    Oh and BDL, to answer your question, I think Zucc is as good of a play maker as just about any of those guys (maybe not Kessel) but overall he’s not as much of an offensive presence. Kessel is obviously deadly with the puck. Simmonds is a multi tool player and a rare find in this league these days.

  5. James G Avatar

    Speaking of RW’s, I think Winnipeg has the best 1-2 combo. Laine may score 50 this year and then you’ve got Blake Wheeler. I’d take 5 of either of them any day.

  6. James G Avatar

    Small list of supposed PP QB’s that were going to be the savior for the Rangers:
    Wade Redden
    Bryan McCabe
    Sandish Ozolinsh
    Brad Richards
    John Moore
    Dan Boyle
    Keith Yandle

    All I want for Christmas is for Shattenkirk to NOT becomes the next name on this list..

    Re the RW question….

    Simmonds, Kessel, oshie, and arguably Atkinson better. Aho will get there probably but not now.

    None of them are better than grabner 😉

    The only one I would take Zucc over is Bailey, and his numbers were very similar to Zucc, with a lot less ice time.

    So Hayes is plan A and Dejardnais is plan B?

    I don’t think Dejardins is plan B. If they get to the point in the season where Dejardins is an important player, the lottery will be calling, and AVs head will be rolling.

    31/23/54 TOI,18.58 Simmonds

    One good thing about the PP units is pass happy Hayes isn’t out there. Neither is Derek “I’m gonna fake a shot even though I have a wide open net” Stepan. They’ll have to find someone else to shoot directly into the goalies chest.

    Wonder if AV would really pull the trigger if Staal isn’t performing up to snuff. Something tells me the third pair would just become Holden-DeAngelo in that situation. Would be stunned if Graves or another kid who plays the left side actually joined the mix over Holden Staal and Kampfer

    What may prevent brining of Mr Pink up is the pairings of having 2 rooks on right side along with Shatty, unsure if Shea can handle playing with an offensive RD.
    .
    If Staal stumbles out of the gate and Holden can’t handle the role, Graves would be a steady LD3.

  45. James G Avatar
    James G

    Graves would be my preference. Thought crossed my mind that you don’t want a righty playing the left side any more than you want a lefty playing the right if he’s not comfortable there

    SN Staal will stumble out of the gate and continue to stumble all year. Holden will be no better than last year. Having said that in AV’s world either one will play over Pionk or Graves AV>Avoiding Victory! It’s who he is.

    The Rangers are placing prospect Robin Kovacs, 20, on unconditional waivers with the intent of terminating his contract. (Zipay, Pierre LeBrun)

    Kovacs, the 62nd overall pick in 2015, was sent to Hartford during training camp.

    He played last season in Hartford, scoring 2 goals and 10 assists in 72 games with a minus 27.

    The Rangers acquired the 62nd overall pick in 2015 by trading the 57th pick, acquired for Cam Talbot, to Washington for 62 and 113. Neither Kovacs (62) or Brad Morrison (113) are with the Rangers organization anymore.

  54. James G Avatar

    And hey nothing like officially having NOTHING to show for trading away Cam Talbot.

    James – the lower picks could still be in play for us from talbot deal

    The Rangers need to start dealing from a position of strength not weakness. It’s like I said awhile back. You tell Sakic you want Skjei? Give us Duchene and a #1.

    He tell centering Zucc and Nash I guess
    “Through the first two days of practice with what is expected to be nearly the finalized roster for opening night, Mika Zibanejad has skated between Chris Kreider and Pavel Buchnevich. Meanwhile, Kevin Hayes has pivoted between J.T. Miller and Michael Grabner, reuniting two of the Rangers’ most successful lines from a season ago.”

    The fact that miller is on the “3rd” line tells you a lot about what the coach thinks of him.

    The fact that heetle is ahead of Hayes on the centre depth chart tells you all you need to know about Hayes and the rangers “depth” at centre.

    The lineup shows that the coach sees the donut hole at center. Vesey on the 4th line makes zero sense, except that he wants Grabner and Fast (when he returns) playing more minutes than they should be playing. It won’t be long until Buchnevich finds himself on the 4th line. Can’t wait to see the reliable Staal-Holden pair out to kill off one goal games late in the 3rd period.

    I absolutely loathe Milbury and have had loathation for him since Boston, but he is one of the very, very few who publicly calls-out players, teams, and coaches on slop, laziness, and error.

    I was going to comment on gun control, but I think I will just stick to hockey.
    I think the McD, Shatty pairing will last about a period and a half. It’s not a good fit. You know who would be a good fit with Shatty, Marc Staal of 3 years ago.

    I have no horse in this race, my politics are neutral, but I have a sister who lives in a nation who’s only argument against gun control is “f**k you don’t take my guns”. But that’s ok, you guys carry on killing each other because no one had the balls to stand up and be counted. Nation of pussies.

    One of the things I have always loved most about hockey is that you can just bide your time until the nasty, big-mouth creep opposite you is lined up perfectly for a huge, explosive hit that will cost you only perhaps five and two. Can’t get that deal in real life.

    I skimmed the prior posts and saw one thing I wholeheartedly agree with. Grabner belongs on the 4th line. The Rangers are not winning squat until they are deep enough that Grabner and Fast are 4th liners. They might be now………but the coach will not play them there anyway, and will have then in the top 9 before you know it. Not likely to win more than one round as a result.

    You seem to think this is about something you said to me, it isn’t. I see you bully others in here and you do your little “thing” about marginalized players etc etc.

    I will call you out every time you try to bully other posters here like you try and do. I don’t mind stepping in for a blogmate.

    They’re not winning the cup with or without. they are borderline playoff team.

    This is Grabners last year as a Ranger. I’d prefer he be traded now for a 2nd round pick. win – win for the play the kids gang.

    btw he did score what 27 goals last year. Hardly a 4th liner.

    Big difference between showing a different opinion and threatening. You sound just like the leader of Germany in the middle of the last century and excuses he made to attack countries like Poland.

    I’m afraid you guys just don’t get it, the rest of the world wants you to still killing each other en masse. No one is advocating a ban, just controlling anything that can fire that many rounds in a short space of time.
    If you want to empower people by enforcing a 250 year old law written when it would take a day to kill or injure that many people, not 15-20 minutes you guys carry on….

    It seems that a former New York Ranger decided to pay tribute to Tom Petty prior to the pre-game skate in his Czech League game. The music starts about 6:40 into the video – as the article explains.
