I hope Namestnikov is psyched for tonight and plays out of his mind.

My mom moved to the Tampa area a few months ago and has tickets for tonight. Her first NHL game live since the '70s. I'm so happy for her. She's been a Rangers fan since way before I was even born. She and my dad used to go to the old garden on dates way back when.

:cool:

I don't understand why certain Rangers fans are always acting like a bunch of sourpuss' especially these days whenever it comes to ex-players and when they go to other teams. Especially when they were on our team these same people probably supported these same ex-players (in this case JT Miller) more often than not. Return of the Bozo? Really??? Even if the game is in Tampa tonight, JT Miller was a damned good player for us who I at least always noticed on the ice at least and who always was on the receiving end of being jerked around from W to C back to W and line to line and also on the receiving end of being unfairly disciplined or benched by the REAL Bozo, The horrible idiot who just stands behind the bench emotionless all the time while chewing his gum. That's the real Bozo, AV. (i'm not against players being disciplined or benched and am actually a big proponent of that. But only if all the other players gets treated the same way and not singled out by the coach.) Despite getting jerked around and all that though, he still produced.

I hear he couldn't stand playing for AV and absolutely despised and detested playing for him.

Yes, I know about how Miller and his 1 goal in 40 something playoff games, but he wasn't alone in that department either. (Kevin Hayes)

I'm actually happy for JT Miller and Ryan McDonagh and all the other ex-Rangers that have left the team, or got traded over the years more recently. Good for them!!! They (Miller and McDonagh) will be just fine and probably do a lot better now that they're all on a team with much better talent surrounding them. Also, people need to realize that they don't and won't have to be relied upon as much because they won't have to be "the guy" on that team (the Lightning) because, like I said, they'll both be surrounded by better talent.

JT Miller certainly will not have to worry about being jerked around in Tampa or looking over his shoulder to be benched or in the doghouse when he makes a mistake and will not be singled out.

The whole Rangers organization needs a complete xleansing from AV and I personally, like many others, can't wait until this guy is gone after the season.

Other than that, I have personally wanted this rebuild for awhile now (since 2016), as I don't get attached to any of of these players anymore, with the exception of Lundqvist somewhat, and I couldn't care less who goes next of the fan favorites.

Also, even if some didn't like JT Miller or any other ex-Ranger that's on another team now, why is there always such nonsense spewed when it comes to these players that used to be on our team, particularly the ones in more recent years. As if or like they were bad players here or bad Rangers.

People are acting like these guys weren't good or didn't produce here.

I would've liked to see what a lot of these other Rangers fans, that always like to rip these players once they leave, were like when players that were actually worthy of being booed every time they touched the puck, and being torn apart. Players that were actually, you know, actually horrible here, and were horrible Rangers. I'm ralking about the Dark Years and teams from 1997-2004. Those are the kinds of players that deserve to be booed or ripped. Not players who left from the more recent teams after having a really good run during these years, just because it may have ended on a bad note.

Its not controversial to wonder that, but its also dense to ignore that this is the third coach now, third highly respected coach around the league, who has trusted G as an integral part of their D. Not just on the defense, but one of the more trusted defenseman. A different fan-base also seems to like his contribution or are they not entitled to an opinion? Players with better corsi's on that defense like Dotchin and Sustr are widely hated by their fans, so its not like they are happy with the contributions of all defensemen. They only like the play of Hedman, Stralman, Sergachyov and Girardi, a few are also okay with Coburn and Koekkoek.

Matter settled that he's an ECHL player because the shot attempts against column isn't what you'd want it to be?

He would have died for this team if it would have helped us win. For people like Dactyl and anyone else to hate on him or disrespect him shows they don't know hockey and don't care about the Rangers. Stop with the fancy stats. The guy was a warrior who literally gave us his body. Same with Callahan. Give me those two over Mika and Buch EVERY DAY

LOLWUT? I mean I liked G a lot before he got worn down. But Cally forced his removal off the team by demanding more than he was worth. I'd take Zibbs and Butch 10 out of 10 times.

Since the game is in Tampa and we're all mistakenly thinking it's in NY and talking about video tributes...

Bet they'll have a video tribute for Jeff Gorton tonight.

Not sure why Shatty is rotating with Pionk. I get the handness thing, but right now Gilmour is LH and playing the right side.

Shatty should come in for O'Gara.


Of course, this is a tank, so oh well. Just don't think it makes sense to give O'Gara NHL minutes over Pionk. O'Gara stinks and should be a career AHLer, Pionk has potential to be an NHLer.

OK, so if you know your 6 defensemen that are playing tonight are Skjei/Staal/Pionk/ADA/Gilmour/O'Gara and you want to give Shattenkirk reps on the right side, how do you do it?
