So when’s Camp!? If January wouldn’t they need 2 weeks Atleast to get ready ?

Yes, if the NHL starts up in early January, camps would need to begin in mid-December.

 

[Kocur Dill]

I think Boo Nieves will return and take his rightful spot as Captain when the synergy finally blossoms between he and Kreider. He will come forth and blossom like a Phoenix before our eyes.

That's hundo-p my next tattoo. Book it.

 

[Rangers in 7]

Just my 2 cents but kreider should not be the captain. He goes invisible in games for long stretches. Great player but I don’t think he’s captain material. It’s either Mika or we are going to wait a few years for one of the young guys to step up

 

[Irishguy42]

Man, it's going to be a real trip in the future, looking back on this roster...showing my grandkids pictures of the Stanley Cup win this coming season...

...Gary Bettman posing with the Cup and handing it off to our captain and Conn Smythe winner...Jack Johnson.

Heard Brian Burke on NHL radio around noon. He was saying that his contacts in the Networks said that the NHL Finals must be completed by July 15th at the latest. Playoffs start in May. Season prob won't start before Feb 1. Camps open around the Jan 15 mark.

Thats his projection.

No chance an NHL defenseman allows Kravtsov to get anywhere near that close to the net, let alone get that touch pass off. KHL goal thru and thru.

A NHL goalie would have saved that shot

What bettman and the nhl owners have cooked up here right before camp is supposed to start is a disgrace. Basically reneging on a good faith collectively bargained agreement not 5 months old. While the nba just released a preseason schedule. A league that ended after ours did. The nhl is in the middle of a labor dispute AGAIN. Just shameful what they’re doing right now. Shameful.

 

[bobbop]

Trouba did as well.

In the NHL Kravtsov would have played it to Breaddude.

Every time we get the casual fans back they find a way to lose them again. It’s honestly a joke that the NBA and NFL is going on and the NHL is dragging their feet.

They had a rotation going, i just wouldn't be surprised if he is captain at some point.

it wasn't a rotation. he wore it cause the real alternate captains were out.

They had a rotation of zib kreider fast and Staal, and when they were hurt Trouba was the A. They weren't gonna hand it to him as soon as he got here over guys who were here for a while, so whats your point? He was an alternate captain last year and it wouldn't surprise me if he was named captain.

 

[Barnaby]

during individual games when others were out and someone needed to wear a letter but he was not one of the 4 alternate captains. that was mika, kreider, fast and staal.

Half of those guys are gone so I’m guessing Trouba takes one of those spots going forward.

my point is that you are trying to make a false narrative about how the rangers put the A on zibanejad and kreider who were alternate captains but didn't put one on trouba who was NOT is a sign that he's gonna be the captain. the fact that he was the guy that filled in when others were hurt, means he is likely the next in line to be named alternate captain but he was never an alternate captain

When did the Rangers trade for Mangiapane?

 

[egelband]

Interesting choices for the graphic...

Kreider turned into Chris Cornell...?

 

[Crease]

I feel like the Rangers PR machine overestimates Trouba's popularity with the fanbase.

 

[Rongomania]

That just means 'eat bread' in Italiano.

 

[Amazing Kreiderman]

That just means 'eat bread' in Italiano.

Whatever we do, when we have Mangiapane and Panarin on one line, do not put Kakko with them
