Sabres are coming off one of the worst games anyone's played this year  
Greg from LI : 11/27/2023 9:54 am : link
A 7-2 loss to the Devils in which they were outshot 38-12.
Hi Brett!!!

I'm so used to the Rangers being the "get right" team...Haha
aaaah the Rangers. A beacon of excellence in a sea of garbage

Still riding high from the Boston win  
ShockNRoll : 11/27/2023 10:30 am : link
That was a fun game, and a really impressive win. The fourth line that was being called a liability early on is turning into an imposing line that is now starting to produce some offense. This should be a win for the Rangers tonight, but it's never that easy in the NHL. Buffalo is without Thompson for a while, and they're in a major rut right now, coming off a terrible loss in Newark. I'm expecting Igor in the crease tonight, and is this the last game without Fox? He's eligible to return on Wednesday.

the training camp/early season stuff was hilarious. Quick was finished, Laf can't play and never will, no 4th line, on and on.

Don't forget, Panarin is invisible! It's almost as if people forget that preseason means one thing: NOTHING!

Vince reporting that Fox is a full participant at the morning skate today. No word on whether he'll play Wednesday when eligible, but that's a pretty good sign. Igor in net tonight. Let's keep stacking W's.
Good news: Fox has been cleared for contact  
Greg from LI : 11/27/2023 11:20 am : link
Eligible to return on Wed.
Man this year is fun  
LawrenceTaylor56 : 11/27/2023 11:39 am : link
and can be special.

If we can get Kakko revved up, Mika playing more consistent, and Fox and Chytil returning. Watch out.

I still hate Gallant.
Some good signs from Hartford and BC too  
ShockNRoll : 11/27/2023 11:40 am : link
Othmann had a great start in Hartford, then he slowed down for a stretch. Now he's got 3 goals in his last 3 games again, up to 13 points in 18 games. Gabe Perreault is lighting it up at BC with 20 points in 14 games. It's hard to imagine any current players coming out of the lineup, especially once Chytil returns, but it's also hard to imagine Othmann will not get a call-up at some point. I know everyone's going to say he should replace Wheeler, but I think Wheeler is going to have a big impact going forward. He's been more noticeable as the season has progressed.

It's definitely a good time to be a Rangers fan.

I am still very bitter towards Gallant myself. Last year's team had all the pieces to win the whole thing. It became evident that the culture had become toxic between him and ownership, as well as him with the players. They hit 110 and 107 points simply on talent alone. Now they have a structure to the talent they have, and guys buying in. I'm sure there will be points in the season and in future seasons when we're complaining about Laviolette, but for right now, the dude is my favorite sports figure.

Regarding Mika, this is typical of him to start slow, and I definitely already see signs of him coming out of his slump. Great thing about him is that even despite his scoring struggles, he has played a solid defensive game and been a plus player on the PK, which is what makes Mika so special.

As long as Panarin keeps thinking "SHOOT FIRST" he makes himself and everyone around him better. He's been passing up open shots a bit more frequently lately, notably against Philly. I'm not to worried about it though, because Laviolette doesn't seem like the type to let something like that go unnoticed.
Wheeler has looked better  
LawrenceTaylor56 : 11/27/2023 11:53 am : link
since he moved up to the first line. He's still a slow skater.
great that Fox is close, but I would not rush him  
Victor in CT : 11/27/2023 12:30 pm : link
they are playing well so they let him ease back in
Already a goal

Waved off immediately—hand pass. Down by one after an errant clearing attempt.

The dreaded “Trap” game after the big win on Saturday.

Sloppy doesn’t even describe their play in the D zone. Could be 3 zip Sabres.

Need to regroup at intermission.
Shesterkin is the only reason they’re not in a deep hole

The goal allowed with less than a minute in the period.
That was a great

shot pass by Dahlin.

Froze everyone.

Poor positioning by the D.
Concerned about Kakko’s knee

Hope he is OK

Rangers just off their game tonight
Eh, everyone has an off game

But at home against the suckass Sabres? That’s irritating
Not dead yet

Got ten minutes to pull this one out.

Meanwhile, Boston is in free fall, getting shut out by Columbus

Forvthe last 10 mins and Buffalo scores
Crazy  
Greg from LI : 11/27/2023 9:30 pm : link
As good as they’ve been this season, they have several ugly losses against terrible teams - Nashville, Minnesota, now Buffalo.
Well, that game sucked  
Anakim : 11/27/2023 10:23 pm : link
But I'll give UPL credit. He completely stifled us. That save on Vesey with the stick was incredible.
Jeez, they gave up a fifth goal with seven seconds left?  
Greg from LI : 11/27/2023 10:59 pm : link
To Kyle fucking Okbozo, who I cannot believe is still in the league??
Letdown game  
LawrenceTaylor56 : 11/28/2023 7:06 am : link
I knew the Rangers were gonna lose when Vesey got stonewalled on the stick save. Just not the Rangers night.

Onto Detroit.

I'm figuring Brodzinski will be called up with the Kakko injury. I know Kakko hasn't been performing, but man that'll be a huge blow for his development if he misses significant time.
Bad games  
Costy16 : 11/28/2023 8:15 am : link
Happen and they have responded well after a bad game this season.

The Bruins lost 5-2 to Columbus last night, too.

Now is the time to audition Othmann (on a top-ish line), since his ELC can't slide, so if you're going to burn a year of it may as well see how he acclimates playing alongside some talent.

The Trump Building
They called up Brodzinski and Edstrom  
Anakim : 11/28/2023 11:09 am : link
So no Othmann this time around
You won't know  
pjcas18 : 11/28/2023 11:18 am : link
how bad Kakko is until he is placed on IR (must miss 7 calendar days), LTIR (must miss 24 calendar days and 10 games) or no IR.

Unless of course they come out and tell you the details, which is rare unless it's a torn ACL or something like that.
Most recent developments from Arthur Staple  
ShockNRoll : 11/28/2023 12:34 pm : link
-Chytil and Kakko going to LTIR.
-Kakko injury is serious but not considered season-ending.
-Fox will play tomorrow.
More on Chytil  
LawrenceTaylor56 : 11/28/2023 1:09 pm : link
Chytil's LTIR stint is retroactive to Nov. 3. He can be activated at any time, but this clears cap space for now.

NYR making some cap room space.
I looked at Cap Friendly  
SJGiant : 11/28/2023 1:29 pm : link
website for the Rangers to get a clue how this LTIR helps the cap space. Does the prorated salary of the player for games or days on LTIR goes towards the cap space?
NY Rangers Salary Cap - ( New Window )
Still not much room  
Greg from LI : 11/28/2023 2:06 pm : link
They need to deal for some guy who is done for good and on LTIR to create more space, like Voracek or Weber.
