Post-Game Talk: Kings

[Daves a mess]

Sorry Miller "it was an accident" is complete bullshit.everyone saw the intent

Yup

Total BS.

 

[rangersfansince08]

Can Kane play in Wed's game?

Oh yeah, it opens up so many different looks.

But will we stick with it?

I went with trouba, mika, and Igor as the stars. Trochek was a standout too. Team effort but those three really set the tone and led the team tonight imo.

Not to harp on Igor, but us having the first lead of the game is SO important and happens way too rarely this season. That's what we need Igor for. He got us to the 2nd up 3-0 and we took off from there. If he's turned a corner, not even Meier worries me in the devils. Let's hope.

First star of the game goes to the fan wearing a Rangers Kane jersey.

This cap management shit the team is doing is lowkey embarrassing

Actively hurting the teams chances to win games

The Devils will still be a tough out. Wish the Blues had gotten Meier

Embarrassing for the league... I agree.

For the Rangers? This is the team playing by the rules that the league enacted.

Heard so far it's a 2023 1st and Zetturland +

"He shouldn't have been standing there.

[CasusBelli]

Gutsy and passionate display across the board. Except for Miller and his boneheaded play. Still, way more positives than negatives to take from this one! Truly impressed.

It’s a bit of a circus, but with the intent of icing the best possibly playoff roster. I don’t hate it.

the cap blows but the Rangers could have managed their situation better if they were that hot for Kane.

Actively sitting two players in a game for this is again, embarrassing

 

[Machinehead]

Can't there at least just be like a temporary bump at the deadline and you have to be compliant at the start of the season?

Would that put the owners on food stamps?

 

[jerseyjinx94]

I know all the attention is on the D and Trocheck, but Panarin had a great game tonight. I thought he was flying, especially in the third period

We didn't know ahead of time that Kane was forcing his way here for next to nothing

If they weren’t idiots carrying 22 players all year, this wouldn’t be an issue. They knew the stupid rules and didn’t give themselves much flexibility with them. So now they’re scrambling.

All that said, a regular season game or two doesn’t really matter for them much anyway. There’s about a 90% chance we play the Devils in the playoffs unless something absurd happens.

 

[NYROrtsFan]

Just great from all 4 defensemen. Harpur continues to be a solid player at times. And Mikkola played better with Fox than anyone has outside of Lindgren.

Says more about the cap structure than about the org imo.

Are we sure it's next to nothing? No first round pick?

We didn't know and there's nothing embarrassing about doing whatever it takes to get the best playoff roster

 

[Alluckks]

Do not let this accidental loogie distract from the fact that drew doughty is a piece of shit

I've been hearing a lot of chatter that no 1st is involved

I think the issue is that they weren't expecting to get Tarasenko and Kane so now they are scrambling to get some space they didnt know they would need.

Thats great. Hopefully no Sykora either

 

[irishlaxburger2]

If the goal is to put together the best playoff roster, they should’ve been looking to accrue cap space all year anyway - Kane or no Kane. Accruing cap space should’ve been a given and something people have complained about all year.

Drury is certainly a wizard on the trade side. But he does some head scratching asset management otherwise. Small stuff, sure. But it’s also mind numbing at times.

 

[Crease]

The Rangers could have banked cap space earlier in the season. I think the takeaway is that Kane wasn’t part of the plan until very recently. Hopefully that means he’s coming cheap.
