Around the NHL - Part II

[GeorgeKaplan]

Reaves doing what the NHL refuses to do, and they say theres no need for enforcers.

Didn’t they literately just try to give him 20 games for a hit in preseason?

 

[TheTakedown]

He's ****ing fantastic. Taking hard usage too.

Probably a step below the elite, but clearly a #1.

Coulda had him for less term and $ than McDonagh, would have lasted through the rebuild too honestly...

f***ing Girardi

Doesn’t he hold the current iron man streak too?

But I thought “soft” OFD always get hurt...

Yes and because of that they didnt suspend him this last time because they would have had to give him more than that imo.

I was dying laughing with the player safety video

RNH with the sick snipe in the shootout!

Damn that was filthy

Chicago knows how to tank. What have they lost like 8 in a row or something? We can kiss a top 5 pick goodbye, there are way too many garbage teams in the league and they don't have a Henrik Lundqvist.

Henrik Lundqvist is basically committing hockey suicide with his performance

It’s so sad man. This is the most torn I’ve ever been watching any sport. Me during any given ranger game this season:

“Amazing save! Keep climbing the all time ranks Hank!!”

Also me during the same game:

“WHY THE F*** ARE YOU PLAYING SO GOOD HANK LOSE SOME F***ING GAMES HERE BUD TOP FIVE PICK IS NECESSARY!!!!!”

This is such a bizarre time to be a fan of this team and I wouldn’t trade it for anything. Not even bringing back good ol’ sanity.

• Yep. As bad as we can look there are some teams like you said just know how to tank and have a worse roster than ours. Just hoping for a top 7 pick but that's also if no team jumps us and knocks us down (like Carolina did last year).

We've played the 2nd easiest schedule in the league.

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

That is true. The devils for example have played the Lightning like 4 times already

Just outta curiosity how is this calculated? Is it calculated like daily based on where current teams are? Or is it based on last year's standings?

They're at #1 in the league in SOS.

If we flipped schedules, we'd probably be sitting pretty in a bottom 3 spot while they're right on the periphery of the playoffs if not in them.

From here on out, Rangers face the 2nd toughest schedule in the league.... Behind Chicago

Having issues opening it, keeps crashing my phone's browser for some reason.

I'm just being realistic and not getting my hopes up high like last year. If this team stays relatively healthy and doesn't make trades until TDL I just don't see us being a bottom 5 lock. A top 7ish pick will still help a lot and hopefully the younger guys on team continue to develop.

Can anyone what would happen if Hank were traded to Winnipeg? What would that team be like?

Hellebuyck was a Vezina finalist last season. He's a good goalie. Don't know why Winnipeg would do this.

Matter of fact, I don't see why any of the Cup favorites would want Lundqvist, unless Tampa finds out Vasilevskiy is out the whole season.

it wasn't proposing they would trade for him...i think the point was imagine if hank actually had a great team in front of him

Roger. Misread/misinterpreted the post.

Lundqvist wouldn't be a bad option if your starting goalie a.) shits the bed in the playoffs b.) gets hurt. Henrik wouldn't hurt ANY team's chances to go further in the playoffs be it on the bench or in the net.

Hank isn't going anywhere, though, ever, so this conversation is always fantasy.

They're essentially 2 games under .500 with the 2nd easiest schedule on the planet. It's bout to come to a head.
