They’re rebuilding. They have the youngest group of forwards in NHL of the modern era. The average age of their forwards is 22.7 and that was before 20 year old Nolan Foote entered the lineup.
But my Hockey app has just informed me that Kratsov has scored his first NHL goal. And, Anakim's favorite player got the assist, Howden. Ha!
It was a nice play by him, but the Devils defender gave the puck away and Howden passed it to the wide open player. Hardly threading the needle, but I don't want to take anyway from him.

*anything away. He's still an awful player.
RE: Kaapo Kakko earned some stripes there with me.
If you think any of this is the Devils’ goalie’s fault, you know less than my dead grandmother about hockey.
As Jay said, Devils are playing out the string with young guys. Rangers are fighting for playoffs — the Rangers are doing well and doing what they need to do.
Rangers for awhile. There’s a TON of young talent on this team. I was impressed with Kravtsov and Kakko looks a LOT more comfortable and confident. They are going to be something by next year.
And there is more young talent coming.

Correct, the Devils season is over so they are using the remainder of the season to evaluate young players.
They are in the process of signing 2020 7th overall pick RW Alexander Holtz to an ELC. This is the only benefit of having a shitty record. At least we get to see prospects who aren’t completely ready for the NHL yet.
Rangers are 4 behind the Bruins (2 games in hand for Boston)
Rangers are 6 behind the Islanders (who play later)
Rangers are 7 behind the Penguins (same # of games)
That is the first time I’ve ever seen that watching hockey.
Once again I was referring to the Studenic penalty not Tennyson obvious late hit.
Jay, pretty clear Studenic boarded/cross checked Lindgren into the boards without time to defend himself. Dirty, unnecessary. Ruff had no basis to complain.
Ice at the Rock must have been really soft; so many players taking unforced spills, led to some dicey moments.
Not comparing them, you can't, but Kravtsov is Panarinesque as a sniper. If he becomes half the player Panarin is, Rangers really have another goal scorer on their hands. He singlehandedly makes the other team have to think about the 4th line's o.
By next Sunday evening, we'll know if there's a halfway shot at sneaking in. BOS games in hand are almost disqualifying. Next week 2 games each vs Fish, Sabres, and Flyers. Realistically they need min 6 and probably 7 points to hang around. Sabres have been playing well. I was emphatic 3-4 weeks ago when someone said the Sabres had quit on the season; they played us tough back-to-back and have been winning more than losing, playing loose.
Nice to see Laf smile, great piece of stickwork to his backhand.
I wonder if it's more likely that we catch the Penguins. We've played the same number of games, but apart from 3 games vs. NJ, they have a tough finish to the season, including 2 vs. BOS.

Agreed. What was your previous handle? I know Bricktop is B in ALB. Who are you? Davisian?

Back off, Anak. This dude is actually pretty funny.

No worries. Anak's a good guy.
We disagree on roster moves and minutes and he maybe takes things too personally at times, but he's a passionate fan of the good guys. I'll take Anak in a foxhole over 10 napoleanoic knuckledraggers who double lettered in football and lacrosse back in Chaminade HS. No one gives a shit, Tony. All day.
Also, Anak's daily TOI and buy/sell and those players then going on to have career nights is hysterical. I hope Anak keeps working the phones in dealing Buch/Strome the rest of the season.
Tuesday night NYR@ NYI is going to have a lot of juice. What a bummer we won’t have a packed Coliseum with isles and rangers fans going back and forth. I miss that type of atmosphere.

Davisian was active not too long ago. If it is Davisian:

True the latter about packed houses. Yet as a rabid Rangers' fan, I'd stop a bit shy of saying Rangers on fire: yes, they dispatched with the Devils 4 straight, but before that, with each of BOS, PHIL, WSH, BUF, and NYI, Rangers won the first but fizzled in the 2nd of back to backs. PITT, if I recall, they lost both, so I don't characterize it as being dominant.
They're beating up on the bad teams and looking good doing it
But the true test will be how they do against the teams ahead of them down the stretch. They pretty much have to win every game and hope that things break their way (which hasn't been happening as the Bruins have also gotten on a hot streak.)
They’re rebuilding. They have the youngest group of forwards in NHL of the modern era. The average age of their forwards is 22.7 and that was before 20 year old Nolan Foote entered the lineup.

Yeah, that might've been the first time I've seen Kakko act confrontational. Ya love to see it.
Also, excellent play by Laf on that goal. Skate to stick with barely anytime. Incredibly difficult to do...or so I've heard.
What are you talking about? Lafreniere fell down. What about Trouba leaving his skates to hit Johnsson in the head earlier?

You MUST be smoking rocks. Tennyson checked him into Blackswell and the net.
And there is more young talent coming.
