I think there is a trade coming with Kakko. If a team like Ottawa has seen enough out of Armadio and want to waive him or trade him, Kakko would be an upgrade to the 3rd line and rid of Armadio. Predicting a trade involving Ostapchuk and a 3rd for Kakko.
Didn't help us the refs missed about 15 tripping penalties against The Blues.
Lavi needs a good boot in the butt for putting out the bums excluding Chytil, in the last minute. What is his problem?! He can’t be that stupid. Cmon !!!!
The first 10 games were an illusion, we played not great and kept winning which set the stage for what we are experiencing. Mika, KAM, Kreider, Lindgren should all sit in the press box healthy scratches and we put some kids in who might just show effort will remind them what they are paid well for.
Our top 6 has been abysmal, no back checking, sloppy passing to create odd man rushes against, this is the Generals level bad hockey and everyone else are the Harlem Globetrotters.
Reilly should be traded out for 3rd or 4th round pick, he isn't resigning with the Rangers and his play has not meshed well with The Wondertwins.
With the Igors' ABSURD extension we aren't doing any rebuilding, so we need to move out the parts we can and see if we can at least become watchable hockey again.
Play rempe ! If rempe “ nhl ready “ is to play like a gentle giraffe , Edstrom type … no thanks ,,,, so done with Brodzinski, vessey too
While youre right about having Kakko in the lineup above Vesey, at the same time, I'd put Vesey above both Kreider and Mika. Hopefully it was just a maintenance day for Kakko.
Agreed with everything. Not a rabid fan but these are all things I’ve noticed. Lack of effort-particularly from Mika. A lot of players just milling about with no direction or purpose
I could understand scratching Kakko if it was Brett Berard who was sitting for a while and wanting to see what he could provide but instead it was for Jimmy Vesey and Johnny Brodzinski? Guys who you know what you’re getting with and it for sure isn’t much offense, and to have that be the mentality for a game where your best offensive forward isn’t playing, such a bad move by Lav
Only move that was worse was that 6v5 with no Cuylle out there but just had to have Mika and Kreider because sure
What do you all think, are we missing the playoffs this year?
Cuylle – Chytil – Laf
Panarin – Trochek – Kakko
Berard – Zib – Vesey
Edstrom – Carrick – Kreider
Kakko could be close to being traded.
The Vets in this game stunk.
Maybe they should send the Rangers down and bring the Hartford up
I was always a Kreider fanboy and consistently gave him the benefit of the doubt but I really can't anymore. The whole team has no heart and when you said that you get excited simply if someone skates hard, I resonated with that
Obviously I’ve been a huge Kreider fan and last year he had an excellent season.
This season I’m fkn disgusted with him and his “Play.”
Seventy five points last season, an idiot on the ice this year.
Mika is worse but I expected that, Barkov has destroyed his ego.
Watching this team makes me numb. 😵💫
If you want to be honest how many, if any impact players are on the Rangers right now?
😅😂👎🏻🤢
Why was kakko a healthy scratch but that bum Mika gets to keep playing.. I don’t understand this team there are a bunch soft over sensitive bums. This team needs a total culture change the core gotta go it’s been proven you can’t win with these guys there too soft.. it can’t keep being the coach’s fault the core is soft.. need ground shaking trade and a culture change
Lavi is starting to frustrate me.. I can't handle the cognitive dissonance behind cools and chytil on first line while ALSO scratching kakko…. then cools and bedard not even on the ice at the end of the game, at least have cools out there if only one of them… good points, really hope kakko isn't made the scapegoat and traded but feels like it's more likely after last night…
Islanders fan here. I'm surprised you guys are on a losing streak. It'a not like you guys to be in this condition. You guys dominate throughout the season. Are you guys banged up with injuries?
Don't worry Fans, benching 4th players is the fix….
YEP….
Im with you John man
I wish Drury would do something. Just depressing watching so many players with no heart.
Can we pleasetalk about trading fox
no grit in the rangers – where the hell did it go ? without it we stink , rather play our asses off and lose, than score meaningless highlight film goals and lose anyway
How is Cuylie & maybe argue Berard wasn’t on the ice in the final 2 minutes of the game? Mika should’ve continued to have his ass glued to the bench.
Lavi is getting on my nerves now…why is he benching kakko and breaking up the 3rd line which has been the best in the NHL?!?!?
How about not playing million dollar players and give the young kid a chance.D ont mix and match either let them play
I am assuming Kakko was cratched because there was a trade being wokred out, which in all honesty is the best thing that could happen to Kakko. He's going nowhere in NY and if I were him I'd be asking for a trade. I heard on The Atheltic podcast that Joel Quenville could be a possible replacement for Lavi if LAvi gets fired. If this were to happen…I could not stomach Joel Quenville as our coach given what he allowed to happen in 2010. I'd actuallt reconsider my fandom of the team if they hired him. Drury in my mind is the real culprit. This is his team, he constructed it. He is the one who sent the memo to the GM's. He did Goodrow dirty and like it or not he did TRouba dirty. He is savvy and has made good deals, but my confidence in him as GM wanes by the day. This team is cooked, watching them as a fan has become more of a chore than anything and I hate being negative.
Scratch him, clearly he doesnt want to play
Cuylle looks like a really good player and he looks like he has the chance to turn into a poor man’s Matthew or Brady thackuck. If he can hit that potential then I think we have our future captain.
I think it is time to let the Youngblood run the team and trade off the vets
