Confirmed with Link: Buch traded to STL for Blais + 2nd (2022)

[EdJovanovski]

Can't wait to see a bottom-6 of Goodrow-Garbage-Garbage, Blais-Rooney-Reaves.

What are next weeks powerball numbers?

 

[Barnaby]

Rangers getting into a habit of trading away their darlings for chump change and immediate dissappointments.

If that were true they'd have dealt fan favorite Kreider when his age and contract don't mesh at all with the long term window of this team.

you guys will love blais

hes a lot more skilled than youd think (he was drafted as an undersized skill player). If given the chance I don’t think 20-25-45 is out of the question with a few hundred hits

One of the reasons I think that Blais will get burn on Bread's line.

Its not because of the number but he reminds me of Gravy

Yeah Sammy Blais needs to teach Chris Kreider, a guy who scored more goals this season (in a down year) than Blais has scored in his career, how to shoot. Right.

This board really jumped the shark this season.

 

[045NYR]

Maybe they can trade tips and Kreider can teach him how to skate fast

 

[JohnC]

I looked it up because I was curious. That was the only goal he scored in those playoffs. He scored (2) (yes you read that right) goals in the regular season that year.

For context, Chris “pool man that can’t shoot” Kreider scored (28) goals in the regular season that year. In fact, the last time Chris “pool man that can’t shoot” Kreider scored (2) goals in a season was the 2013 lockout season.

ngl, for some reason i thought the poster was referring to Tucker Poolman. And i was very confused

 

[Peltz]

The last hardworking guys that would throw the body around and give you an honest hardworking shift from our farm have been Callahan, Dubinsky, and Fast to some extent.

You may have left him off because he's a defensemen, but I'd definitely put Lindgren in there. (Wait he was from our farm right? Even though we didn't draft him, he played in Hartford)

Yea but he’s largely a Boston product. I think he only has 1 year in Hartford, was referring to guys we drafted and produced.
And it’s weird because we always had guys in the system and even on the big club that we either traded for or signed.
Our 4th line was always hardworking going back to Boyle, betts, ortmeyer, Prust, Fast, Pouliot, and on and on...
We even had Orr, Hollweg and Steve McKenna for a time and they sucked at hockey, but everyone knew the 4th line guys needed to be physical at the least.
That’s why it was weird when it just completely vanished all together.

 

[n8]

I really think a line of Kreider-Strome-Blais would be money.

Honestly, I think it was a terrible decision to take a slap shot on a 2 on 0. He's just lucky it worked.

Yeah it’s maybe not schoolbook. But one thing, and I am not even 100% I understand the mechanics about it. But many have started to use a delayed release N-S before shooting. Like it’s always been there E-W, you move around the goalie. But supposedly it’s really tricky for the goalie in a deceptive way when the release is delayed N-S. The goalie has to move a bit but the shooter still has two options compared to the E-W delay when you go around the goalie.

they look for the goalie to commit in anticipation where the shot is going and shoot elsewhere. Really have to be accurate to pull it off.

Anybody wearing the Rangers sweater is destined to shoot wide lol

Not the highest percentage of scoring chances, but everyone thinks pass there.

Goalie, even seeing the wind up can't think shot only as then hes frozen in place in case there's a pass.

I'd love to see more slapshots that close.

I don't think it was a terrible play at all. Goalies don't like to face smoke from in close. I have seen Chara and others do the same thing.

Lindgren is more a Rangers product than Boston I think. He never played on Boston's AHL team, he was still playing in college when the Rangers traded for him, then they signed him and he played 10 games for Hartford that year, then 65 for Hartford the next year.

Honestly he looked gassed and waiting much longer would have let the backchecker catch up and interupt a pass

Yeah I've seen the big shots like MacKinnon, Matthews, McDavid use this quick little N-S move a lot. It kinda of freezes the goalie and they have the skill to roof it above the goalie's glove before he can react.

Possible but still effective. Even as kids goalies hated slapshots from in close.
