Rangers Report 3

Rangers 3, Panthers 1

Published by

on

The Rangers and Panthers played an early afternoon game at MSG today, though many might have thought it a slumber party. Florida came out of the gates shooting – 15 SOG in the first period. The Rangers? Still doom scrolling on the bench while making 4 SOG. Not to be outdone, the second period saw the Panthers have just 3 SOG to the NYR 8. Was I the only one who heard the organist playing lullabies?

The only scoring was in the third period, started by recent call up Sykora (2) who netted his second NHL goal and first NHL fight (though it was more of a pushing match). This one was a tip of a Fox (36) shot coming at 05:10, Laba (13) with the secondary. Sheary (5) put the Rangers up 2-0 with a breakaway SHG at 11:14, assisted by JT Miller (31). The final goal for the NYR came at 16:06, Fox (6) with the ENG, assisted by Borgen (9). The lone Panther goal was by Samoskevich (7) at 19:19, ending the shutout chance for Shesterkin.

Game summary below:

The Rangers close out March with a game against the Devils on Tuesday night, 31 March at MSG, 19:00 EDT. MSG 2, MSGSN with the telecast.

    The only guys who wanted to win today were Sykora, Sheary, and Shesterkin. I have no doubt Sheary will get an extension. My eyes are bleeding!

    Igor let the game in Toronto slip away. He may have won this one. Kats had the better of the play.

    Now that Sheary is awake they will sign him for 2 years and 1 million 🤢🤮

    YES! WE WON!

    5th overall pick here we come!

    Some teams tank for a brighter future—this hockey club somehow finishes just good enough to ruin their draft pick.

    Truly committed to mediocrity on every level. I heard we’re raising a banner for that.

    I believe it was more a question of Panthers not trying too hard to score. There were so many whiffs around the net, I started to think I was watching baseball.

    I fear you are right about Sheary. The fact that he continues to get major minutes indicates that Sully sees him as part of the future. He will take minutes from Sykora or Kartye next year. There is no reason he should be playing.

    I am not being sarcastic, right? I actually believe these idiots will do this. He’s not playing him with Miller to send him packing over the summer. This organization are professionals at shooting themselves in the foot time and time again.

    Everyone looks great, so refreshing how great everyone looks…all you need to know about this stretch of game is Sheary is scoring goals. That is the only data point that is needed to show that this is not top tier NHL level play.

    Do the games matter to see the pups against NHL caliber comp? Sure. Would that be the primary driver of assessing their ability against a full lineup of NHL caliber talent…no.

    This time of the season for the also rans feature blended NHL/AHL lineups. To note, Othman scored for the Flames…

    If the Rangers are looking to make the playoffs next year, you will most certainly see Sheary, or someone Sheary like on the team. You are not going to see a Chmelar, Edstrom (clearly), Sykora, Rempe 4th line. You are going to have a new 4th line center, and at least one veteran 4th line type player on the team. That may well be Sheary, or Sheary plus.

    We need a physical 4th line. Sheary is about as physical as the stay puff marshmallow man.

    Chmelar will be here …also think Edstrom has a shot at 4C –not alot out there center wise unless you want to overpay for a Laughton/Haula etc

    Chmelar is Rempe, minus the side show act. Edstrom is being healthy scratched right now!

    but he’s big and fast he should be auditioning now. JT will probably be on wing next year

    Carey I hope you are wrong !…they need speed at center or at a minimum get them more speed on wings. Like Kartye speed wise and he’s been great but not sure he’s top 6

    If Sheary igets a regular next season, they are going for early tank.

    That said, the top 6 failures in first half is what torpedoed this season

    BobbyO,
    I’m assuming there is going to be a center acquired when the finally trade Trocheck. Hypothetically your centers could be, 93/8/42, and one of Kaspar,Stramel, or Yurov.

    I think Chmelar is a massive upgrade from Rempe. I love the effort that Rempe brings, but IMO but he does not have the movement, hands and hockey sense that Chmelar has.

    And the times Chmelar dropped the gloves he didn’t get hammered like Rempe has on occasion.

    I still like Rempe. May not be the most gifted hockey player but I love his enthusiasm and hustle. A lot of other stuff can be taught. So, I may be the only one….but me thinks he has value.

    Off topic can anyone offer a quick primer why the Blackhawks are still so bad this deep into the rebuild? 6 years or so since they put together a 0.500 season, still bottom of the standings.

    at wwpd: I don’t know about the Blackhawks, but the Sabres went 15 straight years missing the playoffs until this year. Poor draft picks and bad ownership? They must of had three rebuilds.

    No worries we have the great and powerful OZ Sullivan! By the way I was screaming for Muse. But we chose the Old Vet instead. We sign Muse, and Sheary is where he belongs in the AHL.

    @corporal clegg: my sense is that he took his beating without throwing a punch intentionally. He may have figured that if he beat up Tie’s kid, the payback might escalate to one of the skilled kids on Anaheim.

    BTW, unsurprisingly, Othmann has started out with Calgary by getting a point in each of his first two games. Of course the first was an assist with 8 seconds left in a 7-3 win and the second was a goal to cut Colorado’s lead to 5-1 in a 9-2 loss in which he tied for team lead with a -3.

    Gudas wanted to atone for his sins, he decided he’d be Domi’s punching bag. For the sake of the sport, they both should have been handed a game misconduct. I don’t find these staged fights entertaining at all.

    I remember when some on here were trying to run Mika out of town because he was “always hurt”.

    Since returning from the busted leg, and including time missed for a concussion in 17/18, he has played in 655/699 games or 93.7%. Starting with the 20/21 season, he has played in all but two games – the missed were for child birth and coach resting in the final game of the season.

    He also took the game off when Kreider returned. He has been good this year though and his contract doesn’t look that bad now. He will likely finish as the #2 all time Ranger goal scorer.

  77. Old Ranger Fan Avatar
    Old Ranger Fan

    Otter got multiple opportunities and failed each time. The bar was pretty low. All he had to do was get a point occasionally and be defensively responsible. Drury did him a solid and gave him a chance to start over. He would have had to go through waivers after camp next year. Drury did ok by getting a guy with some upside and more runway to develop.

    I don’t think the Rangers have a top line yet. The problem I presently see is that Perreault is just not ready for top line minutes. He may be next year if he can get stronger and quicker. Right now he seems to be running out of gas.

    Also, I am still not convinced LaCoast can play at a high level game in game out against opponents top lines. I guess time will tell.

    Does he have the will
    Would he prefer to chill
    When pressure’s in his grill
    Can he climb the hill
