Rangers Report 3

Rangers 3, Other Team 6

Published by

on

The Rangers have a double problem. As in getting doubled up. Second game in a row they have given up twice as many goals as they have scored, this time against Columbus on the road. In fact, this was a pure double as the scoring line was NYR 1 CBJ 2 for each of the three periods. Also continuing is the NYR fascination with the numeral 6 as in six of their last ten games have seen the NYR score six (3x) and their opponent six (3x). And four of those scores? You got it, 6-3. Maybe play 063 boxed on Sunday?

The most painful part of the loss last night for the viewing fan was…the timing of the scoring, which kept it to a one goal game for almost the entire first two periods and through 06:12 of the third. Even so, there really was nothing on the ice that made one think the Rangers were going to win this game other than perhaps sheer puck luck.

NYR scoring was by Trocheck (15), an unassisted shorty at 05:41 of the first. Zibanejad (29) continued his hot streak, scoring at 04:44 of the second, assisted by Lafreniere (27) and Perreault (13). Their final score came on the PP, Lafreniere (20) with Fox (31) and Zibanejad (37) credited with the assists. Once again the Rangers had a lack of shots on goal in two periods, just eight in the first and only five in the third. A reported 19 giveaways did not help the effort either.

Game summary below:

The Rangers are back home at MSG to face the Winnipeg Jets on Sunday 22 March at high noon, EDT. MSG and TSN3 will have the telecast.

    to Jeff’s last in the game thread: the Miller situation makes no sense. At the least, the contract money is guaranteed and it is unlikely the NYR would move him so soon (even if that could be the best decision). And even then, he still gets the loot.

    So why keep going out there if you are well away from 100%? If your injuries make you play at an AHL level in the NHL, please sit down and get well. What should frighten every one is… suppose his injuries are only minor, if any? Certainly some of his play (or lack of) has nothing to do with injury to the body – but maybe the noggin.

    Miller should get healthy for next season, Sheary should go to Hartford to work with kids and Sykora, Brisson, Roobroeck and Garand should get some games. Don’t think Quickie is playing next year

    Raddysh, Brodzinski, Sheary, JTM should not be here next year. They shouldn’t be here now.

    I guess you could say NYR have been finding Six Different Ways?

    Been. I agree about Miller’s mental state. He just does not look happy. That could be on me just like I thought Kappi looked like he had a dark cloud hanging over him.but with Miller something is different. He was not well liked by some of the Canucks. Who knows what go through the heads of modern athletes. I guess I shouldn’t care as much as I do.but I am a crazy ranger fan for a long time. I can’t help myself.

    Kappo is a Finn. They are rarely outwardly “happy” unless quite drunk and even then, probably no better than 50% chance 🤣 But they are the happiest country on planet earth and are generally very nice people, just not super warm and fuzzy.

    Miller is an arsehole. The USA team pretty much said so. Combined with Tro, there are now 2 fellow Pissburgh chucklefuks that are messing with the yutes development.

    A Miller buyout is reasonable. The two tough years are 27/28, and 28/29. Both 5.42 cap hit. All other years are under 3 mill.

    A bit off topic but hockey related still.

    Recently, Nikita Kucherov has become the first non-Canadian player in NHL history—and only the seventh overall—to record 110+ points in four consecutive seasons, I decided to look into who the others were and how things looked for the obvious first in this category—Wayne Gretzky.

    He had six such seasons in a row—from 1981/82 through 1986/87. Moreover, in the seasons immediately before and after, he had 109 points, and in 1988/89 he was back to 110+. That means just TWO more points in those 109-point seasons—and he would’ve had nine consecutive 110+ point seasons. In total, The Great One had 13 seasons with 110+ points!

    What surprised me more is that Gretzky’s Edmonton linemate Jari Kurri had only three such seasons in a row. Even more surprising is Mario Lemieux, who in his prime had back-to-back seasons of 168 and 199 points. That’s the frustrating part—he never hit 200! Overall, Super Mario had eight 110+ point seasons, including 161 and 160, but not four in a row.

    As for the others—besides Gretzky and Kucherov—they are Marcel Dionne, Phil Esposito, Guy Lafleur, Mike Bossy, and Nathan MacKinnon, who reached his 110th point in a fourth consecutive season just one day before Kucherov!

    Yes, we know what the priorities were for the GM, Coaching staff and Capt., the one who missed games before and after the games but somehow was able to play in Milan. Fuk the fans or better yet, thanks for missing time.

    As a Miller supporter in first leg with team, he is an absolute cancer this go round. Its almost as if he and Dreary are trying to crater this team.

    SN,
    I was all in on Miller this time around. Maybe I was just to excited that Drury finally traded Chytil, that I didn’t see the obvious. Both Miller and Trocheck are in the room problems.

    Carey I looked at a Miller buyout yesterday. Makes more sense to retain 50% if you have to go that far. Even at 50 pts a season and with his experience 5M should be a fair ask.

    They seem to have settled in at ~45 shot attempts a game while the opponent gets 65 to 80. They don’t generate much offense and let the other possess the puck too much. It’s a bad hockey team.

    Dreary thinks JT is a leader is all you need to know about his judgement. JTM can turn it around next year; all about on ice performance. The club needs him to be top 6 center that is not a minus every game he plays, currently -28.
    Like Laffy, was playing like an absolutely bum, now with Bread out of the picture, he is striving and driving as Clyde would say.
    Its not personal, its business.

    Boone Jenner is the captain of the Jackets and centers the 4th line. That is called self awareness and leadership.

    I turned on the BC/UConn game last night just in time to see Fortescue get beat wide on the lead goal in the third. BC managed to to tie it, but lost in OT on a pinball shot off of tow or 3 players. BC’s chances for an at large bid are small. Fortescue should sign in the next few days. The question is will he hold out for them to burn a year of his ELC.

    Two interesting quotes:

    – Jack Hughes, to ESPN, on his Olympic golden goal puck: “I’m trying to get it. Like, that’s bull—- that the Hockey Hall of Fame has it, in my opinion. Why would they have that puck?”

    – Sidney Crosby, to The Athletic, on his Olympic golden goal puck: “I didn’t even think about it that way, to be honest with you. I was just happy that I scored the goal. I was happy that the puck was going to the Hall of Fame.”…

    He also reports that Noah Laba (lower-body) and Urho Vaakanainen (upper-body) are both week-to-week for the Rangers.

    But wait! There’s more!

    Jonathan Quick (upper-body) is day-to-day. “Depending on how this week plays out, I would anticipate Dylan [Garand] playing,” Mike Sullivan said.

    If that happens, it’d be Garand’s NHL debut.

    I thought Oreos last game or two were his best

    Why is he in chateau bow wow ?

    Brodude (a good teammate an easy guy to root for) and sheary (solid career) are both north of 30 and cannot be viewed as part of a retool or rebuild

    Why are they in the lineup?

    Ggmm asked the question and apparently allowed sully to have his way

    Then on broadcast, Maloney forced to read the company line on him just before puck drop

    Connor “he does the little things you regular people can’t see” Sheary

    Great contrast between two quotes by Hughes and Crosby on the Olympic puck. Entitlement vs Legacy.

    This is why Crosby will go down as one of the greatest athletes in all of sports.
