I always think that afterwards, then I remember all of the games (especially football) where I am just as confident and completely wrong.
OT: NY Rangers 2024-2025 Thread
- Thread starter Tango Two
- Start date
Falling short in the playoffs and conference finals is a far cry from being one of the worst and easiest teams in the league to play against .
Mika is 31, a slippage in play and declining is also a far cry from looking like you don’t belong in the NHL.
This is a system and coaching problem.
The Rangers still have a core of proven productive players who would excel on other teams, trade an aging Kreider to a team who live in the back pockets of the opposing team like the Devils, Florida or The Canes and he’d score 40.
Vinnie T is a gamer any good team would love to have, he’s been rendered useless in this retreating non attacking system
They are coached similarly to our basketball team.
There is no system to fall back on, unless you think Igor standing on his head is a system.
In our case it’s Dylan scores 40….lol

Laf with Aho and Jarvis in Brind’Amour no time and space allowed system is 40 more goals.
We have players
Shesterkin to the IR, probably a result of the hit he took when Lindgren mind-numbingly shoved a Panther into him….bad time for a NYR defender to finally hit someone.
Domingue called up.
I think it’s fair to stick a fork in this season, and this iteration of the Rangers core.

End of season was the time to move on from this core. Not a fan of sandbagging, but the center from BC looks pretty good and you build contenders from goal out, then down the middle.
Hagens from BC seems obvious based on his having chemistry with Perreault, but a lot of people are starting to rate RW Porter Martone ahead of him, and with the Rangers always salivating over getting a Tkachuk type they might have trouble passing up a kid who is 6’3” 207 and just turned 18 years old if they got pick #1.
The only hit Lindgren can make currently that has any impact is on a defenseless player.
In this case a big dude he pushed directly from behind into his goalie’s chest and crossbar
We are 5th now, and I used Tankathon’s mock draft feature and it returned a prototypical Ranger for this dysfunctional front office.
A forward from Canada named McQueen who is skilled with the puck and isn’t a great skater, but he is 6’ 5” tall at 18. Drury is probably already salivating over the thought of getting him.
It’s so obvious I have no clue why he gets trotted out there game after game when others are healthy scratched.
What more do you need to see to figure out Laffreniere is NOT a goal scorer?
I would trade him for a 31 year old JT Miller immediately.
He actually sucks in all 3 zones….

That's an emotional take. Laf will become a very good player but it's not linear. I'd like to see a lot more from him, for sure, but far bigger issues on this team.
Same thing was said, verbatim, about JT Miller when he was here. Also worth noting Kakko's 9 points in 12 games with Seattle compared to 14 points in 30 games in NY...
Laf has a weak shot, no one timer and is a bad defensive player….period.
He can’t score.
You need to see only one thing from him Cheese😊, it’s called goals…. Plus he’s minus 12 and can’t play 3 on 3 or kill penalties.
If he was a hitter in baseball, he’d be hitting 180 and playing bad in the field
Excellent defensive effort tonight from Rangers.
Easy reads for Igor, even on Grade A’s.
Lafreniere, worst player on the ice for either team….again
