*OFFICIAL* Kitchener Rangers 2012-13 Season Thread (Part 2)

[dinglitis]

One of the best performers on the sloppy night against Erie in Kitchener, Ben Fanelli scores his first goal and 10th point of the 2012-2013 season on a shorthanded breakaway http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tv0nIKjw9aI

Is it panic time in K-town yet? Back to back loses to Erie has to be crushing. I really think Management needs to fulfill its early promise to the team of going for it for the 50yr tribute. This team needs a quick turnaround and I for one would like to see it. Thing is, its not just one player...they need a few!

I agree they need to fill some holes, but let's not be too hasty on this back-to-back losses to Erie thing. Did you see the Ranger lineup?

No Puempel, Rieder, Faksa, Murphy, Bailey, Gibson or Ming.

How long do you think that Knight streak would last without Griffith, Horvat, Domi, Baillie, Harrington, Maatta and Tierney?

Let's be realistic here.

We are missing Harrington, Matta, Zadarov, Raine (4 of 5 best D) and Domi sat out more than half of OS game and suspended for Guelph and Kingston today) Pretty big holes to fill. 2 Fs without D exp., Ferry, and a jrB Dman filled in.

Beat the 2 best west conf teams in under 24 hrs. Didnt allow a single 5 on 5 goal thru those 2 games. Both goalies played.

But I get what your saying, a couple losses isnt a reason to panic, but the season long trend may be.

My thoughts exactly! At this point in the season, your team needs to be pretty deep on its own to consider going for it. The Rangers are strong in the net and strong defensively. But they just can't score!

If the Rangers could some how pull off a trade with Sarnia to get their top line from them, then I would be on the go for it train! That would make them an instant threat with 2 lines that can score. Picking up one forward and one D, just isn't going to get the job done. And that's what I see happening.

Just has to be ALL IN or ALL OUT, I side on the ALL OUT side, but has to one or the other.

[Hockey4Lyfe13]

so when the top players aren't in the line up the rangers apparently cant win!!!!!! We really need the boys back

 

[H44]

Keli Grant scored two goals tonight - he is having a good year with the Dutchmen - maybe they should keep him up with the Rangers - they would need to give him ice time though.

 

[Phatpat88]

Great game played by the boys hope this is a start of more to come now

 

[Acad]

Few guys I would like to see Kitchener target :

Harper(Erie)
Austen Brassard (Bellevile)
Brandon Robinson(Brampton)
Alan Quine(Peterborough)

 

[KnightRanger]

Congrats Gibby! A Gold Medal and your trade value just went way up!!!! Now we just need to make that happen!

 

[BenchedGuy]

So the question still remains....are we buyers or sellers?
As per @1rangerfan twitter (Loneranger), sounds like a couple deals may be in the works but no indication which way it favors.

 

[Luvtowatch]

Rangers have 2 of the top 5 or 6 goalies in the league. Can't keep both. Gotta trade one of them.

 

[MetalheadPenguinsFan]

So it appears that I'll be going to the game on Friday night against Sarnia.

Will Yakupov still be playing for the Sting that night, or will he already be getting ready for the start of the NHL season???

Hopefully we win, but I wanted to hopefully watch Yak in person play as well.

 

[izzys]

looks like palazzese goes to the wolves

 

[rangersfan88]

Just rumors? , or what's coming this way?

 

[Bjorn Le]

So when Spott talked to Corrado he told him he could have one of two things, make team Canada or get traded to the Rangers. Well he didn't pick the first one...

If the rumours are true.

 

[KnightRanger]

Oh Boy! Hope this doesn't mean we are going for it!

For who?

Yakupov has been in the khl all season didn't report to sarnia , galchenyuk will be gone to Montreal I assume

WRONG PLAYER,Yak dont play for sarnia this year.It is Galchenyuk you will be seeing MAYBE.He might be gone to Montreal's training camp???

 

[rangersfan88]

Just read on twitter not sure how reliable this is but leivo and corrado for palazzese and schmalz and one more

 

[izzys]

not 100% sure yet but it looks like

Corrado and Leivo to Kitchener for Pallazese, Schmaltz and ?

 

[Acad]

From Hicks on Twitter

‏@HicksJD

"Frank for Franky? Hear Coraddo due south. Palazzese due north. Leivo to leavo for Aud. Schmalz and one more fed to Wolves."

My guess :

To Sudbury : Palazzese, Schamltz(sp*) and picks

To Kitchener : Leivo, Corrado

 

[Bjorn Le]

If Murphy, Faksa and Rieder hit it off when they come back, this team could be back into it. Leivo and Corrado are excellent additions. Corrado takes some of the strain off Murphy's back and gives him a great partner to play with, Leivo will make it so we can actually have two scoring lines again.
