Hopefully he continues to play like this so the Rangers go on a ****ing tear and win the Stanley Cup.

Yeah but then he'd have to score in the playoffs against good teams.

I'll take the first.

Is it me or do a lot of Nash's 'good' chances come at the end of his shifts? He's gassed or close to it because he's trying to out muscle guys to the middle, then by the time he has a shot it's weak because he's tired. He already takes some of the shortest shifts of any supposed-scorer I've ever seen play. For a seemingly heady guy like Rick, he should recognize when to give 100% so that he can give it all when he gets his opportunity to score a goal.. just play more like a smart and sneaky type rather than a bull through the china shop type

The 4g in 2 GP is great and all, and he's looked better in these games. I think he'll continue to benefit heavily from playing with skilled guys like Buch or ZBad. Question is does he continue to score goals and salvage his season or not, it can only help though if we wish to trade him at the deadline

He's played with skilled guys since he has been here. The results are exactly what they say they are.

He did it again. Another 2 goal game..
Value is rising...

Odc is not happy

He has been the best Ranger forward all year and it isn’t even close. Send Mika away before we get rid I’d Nash. Mika is a huge problem on this team.

No he hasn't.

 

[Flying Puck]

No he hasn't.

Who has been? Even when he wasn’t scoring he was the Rangers best forward most nights. Not even close!

It’s not Zucc, it’s not lazy Mika, it sure isn’t Buch, who is it Darko?

Sike.

 

[Igor Shestyorkin]

Mika is the least of this team's problems lmao. The problem lies within AV, and then the lot of scrubs, mainly known as: Vesey, Desharnais, Carey, Holden, Staal, Holland, Kampfer, AV again, Ruff as the defensive coach(why?). Not to mention Skjei and Miller have been garbo this year.

 

[darko]

It’s not Zucc, it’s not lazy Mika, it sure isn’t Buch, who is it Darko?

Even spread but I'd say Zucca or Buch.

Zucca/Buch/Grabner/Mika have all been better than Nash.

You really value empty net goals. You can make a case for the Mika, Buch and Zucc and I would respectfully disagree with you. But, how anyone can say Grabner is playing better than Nash is mind boggling. Although Nash has not put up the goal totals we expect out of him he has been our most consistent and reliable player. Defensively for sure and offensively (highest points/even strength toi).

Grabner is our best PKer.

I like Grabner and I don't want to rip him to shreds just to prove my point. All I can say is, Rick Nash is a much better hockey player.

 

[True Blue]

5 of his goals came in an 8 game stretch and the last 6 have come in 5. Best forward during those 13 games? Sure. What about the others?

 

[Inferno]

Our best forward all year has been Henrik.

Our best defenseman all year has been Henrik.

Our best goalie all year has been Henrik


This team has been Henrik and a metric ton of passengers all season long.

 

[SA16]

Sequencing doesn't matter.

 

[McRanger]

Probably still Nash. He's had 4 or more shots in half the games he's played. Which is ridiculous. His production level may be streaky but his one ice performance has been pretty consistent.

Nash's most engaged stretch of the season was probably the first ten games where the he had 1 goal on 40 shots. A shooting percentage around 2%.

He's having a weird year.

 

[LeetchisGod]

The best thing that Nash could do at this point is get us a first round pick.

 

[Miamipuck]

I didn't see the game last night, is it safe to assume Nash skated like the wind last night and somehow with his weak wrists and all, was able to lift the puck?

Mostly his reach made things happen as he was able to get around the goalie for slide ins.

 

[Igor Shestyorkin]

Grabner is our best PKer.

PKing is like the easiest thing to do in hockey lmao. It's too overvalued.
