Nah. True leaders are happy with 2nd place.

Your going nowhere in life if your okay with getting 2nd place.

Thank goodness this kid is super competitive.

Anyone know if Calle Sjalin will come over to the AHL next season? He’s 19 but AHL eligible.

Only if he plays LD

 

[kovazub94]

We often reference Chytil as a Top 5 pick in a redraft and/or Class 18 eligible.

Would Ronning be 3rd Round? Better?...Barron? Virta?

This comparison to Chytil comes only from the fact that he’s less than two weeks removed from being picked in 2018.

Imagine, 6 months later, still being upset that a 18 year old kid got emotional after losing

I guess I will have to apologize for giving my silver rugby medals away...

Man does ty Ronning have the best PR team in the business or what. Another fluff piece on him today in the Post. Amazing

So now we are complaining about the Ranger's getting extra coverage in the offseason?

If the Rangers win the Stanley Cup, you will find some way to complain about the way they did it.

Yeah I lol’ed at that too.

Hopefully the kid can become a monster physically and really skate eights around the opponents in the NHL. We be great for this org if that kid could come through and become a Jonathan Audy-Marchessault type of performer.

But he got a long way to go. However I also think that the PR not only is his own doing. Orts lifted him out too. Think they want to show the rest of the kids that it pays off to give it 200% of the ice. They have requested that all kids train in NY, those requests can’t be binding under the CBA.

"Lias didn't dangle enough while holding the cup!"

"We should have won the Cup final in 6 games if we had drafted Mittelstadt"

 

[JimmyG89]

"We should have won the Cup final in 6 games if we had drafted Mittelstadt"

To be honest, winning the cup in 6 instead of 7 games would allow me to live an extra 5-7 years than I would if I had to sit through a SCF Game 7.

I’m not the only one who thinks Ronning looks like Pinto from Animal House, am I?

We need the dues.....

 

[Kovalev27]

Did I say it was a problem? I said very obviously tongue in cheek mind you that the kid is all over the place.

Let’s cry some more though just Incase I MIGHT have been mean to a 7th rounder.

True leaders don't throw away silver medals and act like babies.

Remembering the night the U.S. was robbed in Munich.

probably wasnt around when this happened

Or just a well adjusted grown up.

I have no problem with what Lias did at all but all these platitudes about how taking a loss gracefully is a sign of some personality flaw are pretty bad.

Provided he doesn't do anything unethical what do you care how he reacts to losing?

I really don't care how he reacts at all, like I said.

I just think all these quotes in here about how taking loses in stride is a sign of weak character are silly. Plenty of people take loses in stride as learning opportunities and better themselves from them without being weak losers or whatever else Vince Lombardi thinks about them.

They're mostly a response to quotes about how Lias isn't a leader because of it.

Ok. I still think they're pretty silly. People come with a lot of different personalities. Someone can take loses in stride and be a "winner" and a leader, and someone else can take loses in stride and be the opposite. Same for people who don't take losing well.

Lias is pretty clearly a natural leader, and seems to be the type who doesn't take losing well. That's good for NYR especially after the "aw shucks, we'll get em next time" attitude they've had as a team for the last few years. But he or someone else could taking losing quietly and also be a leader.

The idea that a pro can't take a loss in stride quietly is like a Hollywood cliche that sounds nice and simple but people aren't simple like that.

Fine but I don't see you calling out the people that think he can't be a leader because he disrespected the medal (where have I heard that argument before?).

I said many times that what he did was fine and not at all disrespectful when this actually happened.
