Rangers Report 3

Rangers 0, Carolina 3

Published by

on

The Rangers lost a another home game at the Garden last night, a 2-0 affair until a late ENG with about a minute left in the game. Defensively they played OK, giving up a PPG to Ehlers (1) at 13:30 of the first and another goal to Walker (2) late in the second period at 17:07.

Once again, the problem was on the offensive side of the ledger. And offensive it was. They came out of the gate with a reasonably good pace and attack, putting 15 shots on net in the first period. Alas, none would go in. As the game went on, the Rangers seemed to deflate more and more until virtually nothing was left – just nine shots in the second and an unfathomable single shot on goal in the third period while trailing 2-0. And zero is not a winning score in hockey.

Luckily for the Rangers, though they are last in the Eastern conference in P%, it is still early in the season so just a few wins separate the early leaders from the rest.

Scoring details below:


The Rangers will be going on the road to face the Detroit Red Wings, Friday night at 19:00 EDT telecast by MSG and NHLN

    I figured it out, but I don’t think we’re ready for it. The supposedly once elite core is old slow and just about done. Everyone else is mediocre. Twerkin is an overpaid average net minder. Sometimes great, sometimes not so much. Coach is irrelevant! Thank you Jimmy D.

    The only way to fix it is to blow it up, accumulate assets, get a little lucky in the draft and draft well. Unfortunately that is not the rangers way of doing things.

    What a bizarre start to the season at MSG for the Rangers. At this point it’s got to be psychological.

    They are playing the right way; would folks prefer a 5-3 loss? They have little margin for error with the top forwards not finishing and PP not connecting with same players.

    Meeka is turning into Brad Richards with no angle-hope shots and no follow up toward the crease; always moving away from the goal; need to stick your nose in there and get some grimy greasy goals; not this guy.

    Kreider scored again (8 GP, 7 Gs) as well as Trouba last night as Ducks beat Panthers. Nothing to see here…fugg u Dreary.

    Man they looked good to start the game. Total control. Probably should have had 2 or 3 more power plays. But alas. The refs needed to give brindamour a pp first before calling another

    Big time hold/interference where brodude couldn’t play the puck.

    Next shift rangers go to box

    That pk failed and the game was over.

    If they could generate some scoring (not same as ‘offense’) and not bail on the defense they might go somewhere.

    They need to abandon their “skill” game and just cycle the puck from down low and have guys continuously crashing the net. Blue collar

    So tired of the nonsense comments after the game by both players and coach. Just word salads that mean nothing, as they do nothing to change things. Sully’s words that “performance matters” is complete garbage. If performance really mattered Laf and Panarin would be watching from the stands, not being rewarded with PP time. This team will be a mushy middle non playoff team as long as Drury is in charge. Time for a new GM and a new letter. Clean house already!!

    They seem very content to circle on the perimeter and not go to the net. The Canes kept them there and nothing came of it. Puck possession didn’t lead to scoring chances.
    Special teams also hurt. The PP is awful and the PK is mediocre starting between the pipes.
    They did better in their zone. There were fewer sieges in their end and had less trouble breaking out. They don’t just predictably try to force the puck along the boards and make the forecheck easy for opponents anymore.
    The question for every home game is will they score tonight and the answer is usually no. They are on a pace to be shutout 27 times at home.

    It’s not the style that is the problem unless your panarin. Panarin is good player when the rangers played pond hockey but when it came to playoffs panarin disappeared. The north/south style of play is not for panarin and why he is struggling to score goals. The style of north/south and a better defensive structure is not the problem, rangers top six is average, not going far with the rangers top six. They will win games and they will lose games and that means they are what they are, a .500 hockey team.

    From daPost:

    The Rangers — who tied a franchise record originally set in 1943-44 (0-5 with one tie) and then again in 1950-51 (0-3 with three ties) — are just two home losses away from tying the 1971-72 Kings for the NHL record for the longest home losing streak to start a season.

    The Rangers have scored one single goal in 15 periods against teams that are not the bottom-dwelling Sharks

    Really think Drury should move Bread now, not at the deadline. There seems (from gossip) to be some interest and the contract talks are a dead end. Remove both the cloud and the style of play that no longer fits the rest of the team.

    Some will say you won’t get maximum value now but consider too the team getting him will, in theory, have him helping pad their regular season point totals to get a better post season berth.

    schneider is one of the few current rangers (excluding the goalies) i actually like. some hit he had late in the game.

    regarding bread we can eat half his contract to facilitate a trade. still rather do it later in season. can get more back. most of us know this season is meh at best.

    Carey – Borgen is signed, yes, but is also movable after this season if they wish. Fox is movable again after one more season. Perhaps the better idea with Schneider is to move on from Soucy after this season, put Schneider on his off side with the Borg and then potentially on the right of Gavrikov if something is done with Fox.

    That also gives a spot for Morrow, though at this stage he is still very much an unknown with potential.

    Laba is also making Trocheck a deadline chip, though early going on that.

    Lisa, Crapsoft, Flip-flop, Krappo Kakko, LaFailure – they had picks; they did not work out either at all or relative to draft position.

    The sample covers 10 drafts from 2010-2019, or players roughly aged 22-32.

    29. New York Rangers (out of 30!!!!!)
    Skaters drafted: 60 | Percentage who played 200 games: 15.00% (9 players)
    Notable hits: JT Miller, Pavel Buchnevich, Anthony Duclair, Filip Chytil, Kaapo Kakko
    The Rangers were all in for most of the decade, reaching the Eastern Conference Final twice and Stanley Cup Final once. As a result, from 2013-16 they did not make a pick in the first round and needed to bottom out at the end of the decade to restock the cupboard.

    We get to watch our team fall off of a cliff, whereas the Islanders’ gifted 1OA draft pick is immediately making a difference. How many goals does Laughy have?? Where Krappo playing?? Lias Andersson? Krapsoft?? Othmann???

    It’s almost statistically impossible to draft this poorly and this unfortunately, but somehow the Broadway Blueshirts have managed to do it.

    1/ The change in drafting style began with JD

    2/ Drury has only a few good moves/signings. Carrick one of them. These are all at least as, if not more, important than the draft picks.

    3/ The KAM deal was enabled by KAM and his agent. Sure Drury had his part but there was little genius or craft involved.

    4/ Signing the best available shutdown defender after cutting loose one of your top defenders (hold your breath Coos) at a time your incoming coach wants a stay at home defense is genius? You could have hired any rando from the blue seats to do that deal.

    If drury’s plan was to bring in sullivan, fix the defense and change the style of play, which he did and than in the off season sign Mcdavid or Eichel who were going to be free agents, well, that plan has already been blown up because those two players resigned. This team is going nowhere as constructed.

    Coos – KAM was viewed as a top defender. NYR fans thought differently as we got to see his every failing. And yes, KAM and his agent were the key parts to that deal. I said this at the time (long repost)

    The Carolina transaction does seem dodgy. This is my take, probably wrong but 🤷‍♂️

    First, the contract is 8x$7.5. Miller could only get that term if he was signed by NYR, Carolina could only give 7.

    If Carolina had planned an offersheet of 7×7.5, that would have been 10.5 AAV for compensation, or two firsts, a second and a third. I believe Carolina had the two firsts and a second (but not sure they had the third)

    I think the original offer sheet would have come in the third tier – meaning a 1st, 2nd and 3rd. Miller wanted more $ and term. Carolina was willing to pay the money and term but not give up the extra picks.

    Enter Drury who can facilitate the deal. Neither Drury nor Miller can push Carolina too hard or they will just walk and both are out cold. So Drury says I’ll take Morrow instead of the third and do the sign and trade to the term and $ agreed by Miller.

    I’d guess I’d say I’d give Drury the gold star to the extent that Morrow ends up better than a third rounder. Though Miller effectively helped Drury make that happen and in the end, none of it would have happened outside the original offer sheet.

    Gavrikov could’ve gone to a bunch of teams. Drury recruited him and didn’t overpay
    So he must do something right in meetings that we don’t see. He was always the one convincing players to sign with rangers when they held the cards. Going back to convincing hobby baker Vesey to come to NY. Granted, not a world beater, but at the time there were quite a number of suitors

    I’m not being a Drury apologist. There are issues I have.
    But can’t take away from what he does do well at times.

And re Gavrikov, there had been talk in the week prior to crazy season that there were many suitors and yet…none emerged when the bell rang. Either they knew Drury was going to out bid them or they decided to go with the sexy kids that put up points but can’t really play defense very well. At least a few of the latter did happen.

    I just can’t believe how badly they’ve drafted — and this gone on for years and years…. Cherepanov, Jessiman, it’s just unbelievable and goes on and and on.

    I don’t blame them for LaFailure, whoever got stuck with that pick would’ve drafted him… and of course it was us who got him.

    I’m not deciphering between the end of Gorton and beginning of Drury. He was at the table. And we are talking rangers draft picks in general over the last 10 years or so. I think it was SN above that listed all the draft picks going back

    I just don’t understand how anybody thinks that drury has done a good job. I mean, the defense was so bad it didn’t take much to make it better. This team is going nowhere and the only way to fix it is to blow it by trading your veterans, accumalate assets and draft well but this is the rangers where talking about so there is a good chance this won’t happen. Another wasted season.

    I hope Kreider gets 50 again. He has stared off in Cy Young fashion again(9-1). Drury really holds a grudge. He decided to move Kreider over the Summer and planned accordingly. If he didn’t trade for Soucy and resign Parsnips he could have fit Kreider under the Cap. Which would you have rather had?

    He is reshaping the team now. I suspect Dolan will give him another season or two to see how it works out. Bread will be the next to go.

    They are on the road tonight so they will get 2 goals. Let’s see what Igor can do with that. If he continues to get shelled Igor will ask out in a year or two. He will be in his 30s and looking to be on a winner.

    Some here appear to be pining for Kreider and goals and pond hockey. Losing 7-4 doesn’t move things forward. If the plan is to change the identity of the team and win a cup, things had to change that includes the defense which was a mess. You don’t win without good defense. More changes involving top 6 are going to follow. Doubt Bread coming back..Will see if he can move Meeka

    We’re now a long way from the rangers who made 2 eastern finals in recent years

    Drury destroyed that team. Made worse by all the trades for pure rentals. So the future is bleak since the next generation is mostly not existent.

    Drury is fulfilling the sam prophecy. And this one will last a lifetime. The next gm will have his work ahead of him to really create a good future.

    IMO the only way to go in the right direction is do what the devils did a fews years ago and what the islanders did last year. The way drury is doing things is going to be the same old, same old ranger way. History shows it doesn’t work but hey, I’ve been wrong before.

    not really, no horseshoes involved, every team that does it that way goes in the right direction. Rangers finally did it 2 years in a row and of course the rangers luck the drafts were weak but normally that doesn’t happen.

  158. Alex Avatar
    Alex

    We’re a long way away from the final 4 going forward.

    Very poor drafts by Drury both in who he drafted first 2 rds when he had those picks and of course the many picks traded away.

    We’re at least 5 years away from being a true contender. And that’s if Drury is gone soon or changes completely the way he does things and brings in young talent. That would be a complete 180 by him so it’s totally unexpected.

    I used to believe in miracles and Santa. No longer do on either count.

    Fire Drury.

    Tying Kreider into your pond hockey remark is very weak. Especially considering your being a big fan of the king of pond hockey. Kreider, by the way, is a very good defensive forward. The rest of what you said, style of play, and more changes coming to the top 6, I agree with.

    They did not trade Kreider for a D man. The D has not improved because of that trade. The D has improved because of style change. The style change has caused a lack of goal scoring, something Kreider is pretty good at.

    Presume Dreary sent Kreids and Tuba away because he could given their contract status; my hope is Meeka and Bread would have been sent packing as well if he had that flexibility. That’s not to say they can’t be productive; but they can no longer drive play like they did in the past.

    It was smart to send Kreider out west as it would really sting if he was in the EC putting up stats.

    The head scratcher is signing Tro and trading for JTM to further increase the age demos on the top 6. Tro looked like bupkis last season, hurt already this season; curious to see how he performs this season.
