The numbers for the Fox-Miller pairing are actually pretty good, because Fox’s instincts are normally excellent and he adapts to Miller’s play just like he does in a different way with Lindgren.His mental and positioning gaps bother me more
If the move between Kreider and Smith works, great. However he needs to have a very short leash. That 5v5 goals per 60 minutes stat is stunning. Lav needs to commit to defense to get the team out of the slump, and keeping your defensive liabilities off the ice is a good start.Rangers' Mika Zibanejad opens up about mental struggle, fighting through slump

Edit - and he's out again. Devastating news as he's been so good / player he was couple years ago but gotta think this is either it or close to it.Chytil done, it was only a matter of time.

He’s back, hopefully he’s ok
Wouldn't ANA give away Zegras at this point?Give up some prospects for a legit top 6 center we can play on the 3rd line.
Flip ain’t coming back
I don’t think they would give him up that easy, but I would be much more inclined to go after him now than I would have been in the summer.Wouldn't ANA give away Zegras at this point?
Yeah give away is a bit strong. His offensive talent is undeniable, and pretty strong indications the Rangers were taking him in '19 before they won the lottery.I don’t think they would give him up that easy, but I would be much more inclined to go after him now than I would have been in the summer.
in the summer reading people who really follow Anaheim said he was very offensively talented but a real liability on defense that made it hard to play him at center.
Now, it sounds like the coach is playing very defensive minded, and people think Zegras is showing very well on the end with his effort and defensive play, but that style has sucked all of the life out of his skilled play on offense (and he is playing with linemates who can’t take advantage of his passing when he does flash something).
For the right price it would be worth a shot getting him to play with Cuylle and Kakko on his wings where he wouldn’t have to overemphasize defense and could let loose on offense a little more.
The big thing to me is that in the summer it sounded like he was a guy who had fallen in love with flashy offensive moves and wasn’t willing to do the dirty work to play defense.Yeah give away is a bit strong. His offensive talent is undeniable, and pretty strong indications the Rangers were taking him in '19 before they won the lottery.
That is what the next CBA is going to come down to.FYI

I’m still here zap….pissed off, but still here.Rangers are so inept, our resident Blueshirt fans don’t even post anymore
I just thankful that I had things to do and missed the Flyers game, because it sounds like they hit a new low.Rangers are so inept, our resident Blueshirt fans don’t even post anymore.
The Rangers are still soft and weak. I don't care if they go on a winning streak or even win another President's Cup. They are unfit for the rigors of the playoffs and will fail again. This season is a waste of time.Rangers are so inept, our resident Blueshirt fans don’t even post anymore
Joe M did a great job on the first goal replay detailing how lazy the Rangers had to play to turn that into a 2-1 against.Devils already with 2 odd man rushes 90 seconds into the game. Incredible how much it’s fallen apart.
In their warped idea of being aggressive, both forecheckers attempted to pressure from 30 feet away…lolJoe M did a great job on the first goal replay detailing how lazy the Rangers had to play to turn that into a 2-1 against.
He’s an idiot but not wrong calling out how soft they are.A friendly FYI, if you are not following Sean Avery on social media you should. He is insightful and funny.
