NFT: New York Rangers vs. Carolina Hurricanes, 7 pm

arcarsenal : 1/31/2015 9:38 am
Very frustrating last 2 games, it's time to take it the fuck out on Jints.

Honestly, this shit happens though. I was extremely annoyed after the game Thursday but it's a long season and there are going to be lulls and times where the puck just doesn't bounce our way. We didn't play poorly. We just could't get the damn puck past.

Carolina sucks but they haven't played terribly lately so this isn't a gimmie even at home.

I'd love to tell you that Miller is back in for Glass but I'm sure the Glassman will continue to keep his spot.

Talbot will probably get one of these next couple games. We'll see if Hank is back out there tonight.

No fucking bullshit tonight. Get a fucking win. Suck it, Jints.
Is Brett ill?

Was telling me he heard a rumor about the Rangers sending Brassard and Zucc to Carolina for Eric Staal.

Has anyone heard anything like that?

I've written it off as bullshit, but I have a lingering doubt as this guy has been a good and knowledgeable hockey fan in my limited time knowing him.

Zuccarello is a likely trade candidate if they can find a team that intends to sign him. I don't think there's any chance they would move Brassard. A Zucc-Moore package deal wouldn't surprise me in order to bring back a checking center.

I am open to moving him in the right deal because I am starting to think we won't resign him, I just don't know if Carolina would.

I definitely don't see us moving Brassard. Nor should we. He's going to be a 60pt C this year and we already have him locked up.

Neither Stempniak or Miller have really played poorly at all recently. They've both been bigger net positives than Glass. Yet, Glass continues to get a sweater and get minutes.

So Miller is a 13th forward/top 6 forward? WTF?

This Tanner Glass shit is out of control. And Im someone who defended the concept of playing him before the clock turned 2015. I wonder what the players think of this -- do they view Glass as a vet who should play over rookies, or as a possibly sub-marginal NHLer who isnt held responsible for his myriad mistakes.
Miller  
Servo : 1/31/2015 6:53 pm : link
makes more sense on the first line than Zuccarello. That could be a good fit in the long term.

I don't think it is a matter of him being a 13th forward/top six forward. It is a matter of him really being a top six talent that the coaches feel needs some education. An occasional game or two in the press box isn't the worst thing. My guess is he'll dress every game in the playoffs unless he's truly playing badly.

We can complain about Glass all we want...  
MetsAreBack : 1/31/2015 6:58 pm : link
we're stuck with a goddamn $1.5 mm/year cap hit for another 2.5 seasons. I cant believe he got a fuckin 3 year deal. WTF.
And I agree moving Zuccs to 3rd line...  
MetsAreBack : 1/31/2015 7:00 pm : link
1) he gives our 3rd line a bit more scoring threat

2) he deserves to be dropped to 3rd line given his recent play

Cant blame AV for shaking things up here. We've not looked good offensively since California (did score 5 in Pittsburgh I guess, but MAF sucks)
Glass is a presence  
B in ALB : 1/31/2015 7:06 pm : link
A physical threat. He throws his body around the ice and brings a good bit of grit and physical play that the rangers really need. He really battles in the corners and always sticks up for his teammates. He's not a scoring threat but he will come up big the second half of the season.




















Yeah right. He sucks used tampon.

Couldn't agree more. There are however some detractors on this board who think he should be a 30 goal scorer because of the number of chances he gets. He just doesn't have the hands that can match his speed but as you pointed out he does so many other things at such a high level.
Nice effort from the 2nd half  
Stufftherun : 1/31/2015 9:41 pm : link
of the 2nd petiod on. AV shaking the lines up really put some life into them.

Another pain in the ass team on Monday in Florida. Will have to jump on them early and grind it out.

Fast has spent 35:19 TOI on the PK this season with zero PP goals against in that time. Best in the NHL.

A win is a win, B. But Arc chose Carolina at home as his coming out party.... way to challenge yourself, Arc.


Echo the comments above on Hagelin. I'd be shocked if he were the one moved this offseason though. MSL now has 15 goals in 67 regular season games as a Ranger, and he turns 40 in June. Wouldn't be surprised if we parted ways at year end and kept the younger guys.
Tough for anyone else to get on the ice these days...  
arcarsenal : 2/1/2015 10:37 am : link
With Brettsky double and triple shifting.

Also, I agree about Fast. He's a really good bottom 6 forward. He doesn't pop up on the stat sheets a lot but he does a lot of things well and is especially good in our end. I felt the same way about him last year.. I wasn't sure what AV was seeing but now that he's a regular, I get it.

Pretty confident that's never going to happen with Glass, but.. C'est La Vie...
Still feels a little early in the season to scoreboard watch...

took it to Washington short-handed today. Granted Caps looked pretty good too considering they went to OT yesterday and had Peters in net today. Washington is going to be tough out come April. Would like to see them play Tampa in the first round - would be an entertaining series.

Pittsburgh getting hammered as arc mentioned. Its tough to judge at the moment with Malkin out. I'm just generally not in awe of them anymore... and clearly no relevant team in the metro is either. Everyone - from WAS to us to NYI to CBJ - has had a lot of success vs them this year.

Isles won't look at Nabby. He's 39 and in rapid decline. Johnson is what he is, but he has youth on his side. No thanks on Nabby, but happy to bring him back to the organization in some coaching/FO capacity. What's more interesting is that Buffalo management has gone on record that all their impending FAs are up for discussion, even for 5th/6th round picks. I'd be calling about Enroth or Neuvirth if I was Garth.
