weak puck around the boards...... weak puck around the boards........
More balanced at forward, at least.Same thing happens every year.
They get out to a lead with cute tricks and then they score 0 or 1 goals the rest of the way when the other team starts to plan for it.
They can't produce NHL offense without gimmick set plays that are easy to prepare for after a couple of games.
I talked about how much better their forward corps is and people on here tried to assassinate me. Same thing in the Devils series.
Kuznetsov is monkey ass and he's better at scoring than seven of our forwards.
We're not even going to gain the zoneThe only things that givs me a little bit of comfort here are.
-Canes are going to try to sit on this
- Andersen sucks
- Trailing means less Lindgren.

Yeah that quote really irked me. That's a loser quote.That quote pissed me off. What a loser mentality.
I don’t agree. they have the talent I’m general, but they don’t have the culture. it isn’t just trouba, lindgren, and gus. the entire top 6 has no showed and that’s seaped into the entire 12 man forward group.At some point, we need to be willing to admit we’re simply not good enough.
The D core is pourous.
The 1C is not a Cup winning 1C.
And the captain is not a Cup winning captain.
Until those are fixed, we’re an average playoff team. Not a Cup contender.
Vesey, brodz, gus all plugs.More balanced at forward, at least.
Wennberg, Kakko, Cuylle, Vesey, Goodrow aren't enough of a threat to score for this team to have good offensive balance.
They’re not inaccurateThe quotes about how amazing the Canes are and how lucky we are to even be in a game 7 are REALLY gonna piss me off tonight.
By "old" I meant slow. That's on me. Trouba and Lindgren have aged remarkably fast (their legs have just gone). CK isn't what he used to be. Mika looks to be slowing as well. But you're right. Fox isn't old -- but he is way too slow. He is a 39 year old Makar.I don't think they're too old or not sufficiently conditioned.
They are too slow. But the real issue is they are not that good. Lindgren shouldn't be sniffing the first pair. Trouba possibly should not be sniffing the NHL anymore and certainly not top minutes and Gus was good for about 2 months to start the season.
You need a really solid 6 D to compete for championships. The move the Rangers needed to make at the deadline was Chychrun, but there was ZERO discussion about that even being a remote possibiliyt.
The offense is there. The defense is not. And the saddest thing to me is they don't seem to realize it.
we had leads in those games. this is closer to last year’s devils seriesThese last couple games remind me of the LAK series for some reason. No clue why.
Biggest game of the season… Zibs a no show so far
I was being sarcastic hahaIf only the playoffs were 82 games long against 31 other teams.
Put Rempe in at this point.
A bit of both, I would think. You need to get the guys who go in with the right attitude. Then you need the guy to bring out that attitude and make them into the best version of themselves.Hold on. Better coached or do the players listen and have bought in? There's a difference. Canes grabbed their lunch pale and went to work. Rangers booking their off season plans gazing out the window.
It's funny seeing a new team like Vegas and in five years they win the cup. We can't sniff one for over 30 years. In almost a hundred years have a grand total of four.I’ve seen enough of everyone associated with this era of Rangers hockey. Tear it all down and start over with stars who will show up in the playoffs.
