As a Rangers fan, I would rather play a whole year with just the Hartford team and keep Drury then cowtow to these soft players, you’ve shown me you have no ability to handle adversity and that’s all what the playoffs are
1.Kreider isn't picking up assists because Mika has been in a huge slump since last season.
2. Lindgren hasn't played well since getting hurt last season.
3. Fox seems like he is cruising sometimes. Definitely not Norris Trophy.
4. Kakko is in the crap house. Needs more love.
5. The young defensive players give me hope.
6. The third line gives me hope.
7. Trouba (no matter how much the players like him) needed to go.
The Rangers slogan was not no quit in New York That's what it was the last 2 years. This year it was it takes everyone. And they've obviously not shown that because not everyone's playing
They quit on the fans, in Sam Rosen's final season. That's all that matters. Figure out who the culprits are and waive them. You can leave cancers like that in the lockeroom. It took years to cleanse that country club culture from the room. You're gong to look up and see dark ages 2.0 with a team full of Valeri Kamensky's, Sylvain Lefebvre's and Marcel Hossa''s
What do you expect from Peter Metropolitan? Guys coached just about every team in the metro div and left them worse than he got them.
NHL GMs need to stop recycling the same coaches seriously
This is such a joke are you serious that you're going to be mad at the GM. These entitled primadonna's need to get a hang of themselves. If you were making $8 million a year as an investment banker and your performance sucked you'd be fired the first quarter something went wrong. Stop giving the pro athletes the out they're too soft and the fact that you're okay with it that's a joke
AND THE FANS!!
No quit in Ny has been around for 3+ years now 😅🤣😂
Kreider not picking up assists bc he is passing to Mika who can't hit the side of a barn. 2 major problems on the Rangers and one of them is now gone (Trouba) and the other is Mika. Both are not playing up to contract and have lost a step. BUT moving on from them is hard bc of "feelings" Trouba being the captain and Mika being best friends with Kreider and being on this team forever. It sucks but Mika being a 1C is just not going to cut it and we saw that last year. Always the other guys fault thats on the Kreider Mike line according to others and I have been saying this now for 2 years now that its actually them and mainly Mika.
Great hockey talk guys.
The Rangers retired the slogan “No Quit New York” at the end of last season. They didn’t use it this year. Appropriately so as it is turning out.
It would be pretty funny if this players-only meeting never really happened and Drury just had an underling get this rumor out there so that fans would turn on the players.
The Rangers are not bad what they have done for the last month or so is pull a MUTINY or Strike on management. They play great for a period or two then they start playing the " I DON'T CARE GAME". This problem began since the rumor of Trouba being traded to now. I'm sure there would have been a better way to handle this but someone probably didn't want give in. As for Panarin i really don't think he is hurt i feel he is fed up with the crap that's going so he prefers to sit out the net couple of games.
WTF IS HAPPENING!? We started off like the team we were last year. Wtf is going on now
I would take Kappo Kakko on the Washington Capitals in a heartbeat. He'd play for a players coach under Carberry. He'd have WAY less pressure playing alongside guys like Ovi Wilson Carlson and Dubois. He'd have a similar situation as Dubois. And, He'd be a huge upgrade to their middle six fore power over an undercooked Lapierre/Miroshnichenko or a no longer with it Milano.
Vesey hasn't been the same since that dirty injury from florida
Isn't it obvious? The players have quit on management, not their coaches. They despise Chris Drury!
So maybe the players decided to tank it to get Drury fired and Kakko did not go along and keeps trying so play well and score so the players asked the coach to healthy scratch Kakko?
Their overpaid goalie as done nothing since he got that contracy
Rags are cooked
Whats wrong with Chris Drury? Why have people turned on him?
The Rangers are 3rd from bottom in the Metropolitan, and they're still the best team in New York state 🤣
Have you heard the rumor from the biz podcast that the rangers may be interested hiring Sean Avery as the gm?
Big part of it is bc the two guys in the thumbnail aren’t good and set a horrible example for the rest of the team
This team is too soft and collapsing because a few players got traded proves it. The core showed zero effort when they got exposed by Florida in the playoffs. They need to get rid of DJ Zibanejad at least.
Trade Kakko to Blackhawks
their only problem is the forcheking is horrible their not playing fisicle enough hit the play and don't play the puck
The Rangers are losing because Drury built this team with too many of the same type of players. He built a team of finesse skaters and not those that can win the battles in the corners, along the boards and in front of the net. The defense are all puck movers lacking grit. They always go in deep and get trapped.
Yeah, they're performing poorly but they're Kreider and Kako. Who doesn't need that kind of help for a good price?
Great take on The Rangers, guys. I don't know what they're doing & what the problem is with them. I don't know what they can do to fix it, but for to continue to make changes. I'm seeing talk of Chris Kreider as A Trade, which I have no idea why, since, even when he's not doing well, he's putting up a decent amount of goals. Let me know what you think
bad take by people who clearly dont watch the rangers. this core is mopey, overrated and entitled. we DONT care what this group of players thinks or feels at this point. they're immature, poorly-lead children and it starts with the 'leadership'. trouba was a LARP of a captain who NEVER should have gotten a letter. he's not a leader, he's a spoiled, passive aggressive brat and had to go. we're GLAD HES GONE… and he clearly rubbed off on this team – look at mopey, low-T zibanejad and now this glorified third liner, kakko, mouthing off. KAKKO HAS GOTTEN HIS OPPORTUNITIES, AND HE EVEN SAID IT DURING HIS EXIT INTERVIEWS – GO WATCH THEM AGAIN. HE CANT PRODUCE, PERIOD. he's a freaking 2 OA who tops out as a DECENT third liner… and now we're saying he needs more opportunity??? I cant wait to revisit this crap when kakko is finally traded and his new team realizes he's a slow, passive scandinavian and we can stop this fcking madness about him.
OK so their made a Drury…dick to Goodrow, dick to Trouba (twice)….I get it. But does that mean they're tanking to get him fired? Does that mean they're softer than bread pudding?
I think that one of the biggest problems was that, even given their numbers were decent last year, it was obvious that there was going to have to be some of the younger players that'd be going up in the lineup, as Mika Zibanejad & Chris Kreider would start to regress, etc., but as you said, LaF, Kakko & so many future players, that so many Rangers Fans criticized David Quinn for not playing the young guys (Quinn should get an apology), for not playing the young players, is starting to show that he had it right (that their no more than very decent 3rd Line Players, as they were in The 2022 year). Now, with The Top 6 not playing well, it's got to be certain that trades, as you said, have to be made. Panarin & Kreider should be the players that should be kept & built around. Let me know what you think
Chris Drury might want to get something for Igor Shesterkin before the new contract kicks in, especially if he continues to play bad. Let me know what you think.
Kreider is having a terrible year. And besides net-front deflections, and occasional breakout, he is not that good.
I cant stand Kakko however he isnt the reason they stink. I dont think hes a star nor a potential star but hes a serviceable 3rd line player. Mika looks like a shell of the guy that scored over 40 goals and almost 100 points two years ago. He leads the league in broken sticks and shots that miss the net! The Rangers defense cannot make a first pass period. They are turnoverkings and they play the whole game in thier own end. This team is souless and gutless, not fight in this team at all.
Must be something in this new york food or water. The sabres the rangers and islanders wtf. They all might have the S.A.D. syndrome. Look it up… lol🎉🎉🎉😂 my sabres suck!
Islanders have been quiet quitting for 2 years now.
I would love to see Kreider in a Flames jersey. Been wanting that since his rookie season
