This season is mind-boggling. With virtually the same team that made it to the conference finals last year and won the President's cup, they are complete garbage this year. What the heck is going on? Time for heads to roll, and I mean that for the players as well as some admin.
@@abnmp7865To be fair, the start of the season was deceptive. The Rangers literally had the easiest schedule in the NHL challenge-wise. Almost every single game they played was against a bottom feeding non-playoff team. When they actually played playoff teams, they got destroyed. I believe they went something like 1-9 to playoff teams to start the year.. So their record, despite looking good, was very deceptive because their record was against a bunch of crappy teams and even at the start of the year they were already losing to any team that was in a playoff spot. Basically they didn't actually do good to start the year, they just capitalized on having the least challenging schedule in the NHL. The second their schedule got more challenging and they started playing more playoff teams, they got exposed. So I would argue since even at the start of the year when their record was better they were still losing to every playoff team they faced, I would argue they haven't actually done good at any point in the season.
Keep coming back w the failed PP#1 just is unreal, clearly Mika has lost his touch and Lev does not belong on the PP. Restructure now if Peter can't get the team to play to win then Drury and Peter need to resign together. Kreider looked good last night
I do see some things in Chytil’s game that I don’t love, but he clearly has the legs and drive to push the puck in today’s NHL. Somehow Mika and Kreider seemed to have lost that. I’d prefer Chytil and Cuylle play more minutes. I don’t know how Cuylle only gets 13~ minutes of ice time against Tampa. One of the hardest working guys on the team and is actually producing. Would love to see Laf and Cuylle replace Kreider and Mika on PP1. I know it’ll take shuffling with Mika being a righty, but it can happen.
I think it’s hard in NY with taxes. Not to mention I think the center position comes at a higher price tag. He’s the third highest paid center on NYR which checks out. Someone probably would have paid him that, especially after a 20+ goal season.
Loving Cuylle’s play he’s been consistent yet doesn’t get the minutes he should. You’re right, his body language says he’s playing as hard ax he can every shift despite the lack of effort around him.
K’Andre Miller actually believing that he’s a good enough player to make a positive difference/impact with this horrendous team is comical. He makes this team even worse. He is abysmal. Trade him
KAndres agent wants new contract and thinks he played well enough to get a bump ? KAndre is on ice for almost every goal against. How can you let up two shorthanded goals ? Goodbye and good riddance
@@timetowakeup6302 Miller skates well. Was doing ok with Trouba. Perhaps need some experiments with different d partners. Need to take a deep breath before team panics because of fans and press and gives players away for nothing. The Rangers have a lot of talent on the roster. Giving it away won’t change anything. Take time. Make the 1 right move. Such as bringing in a Messier. This orchestra needs a conductor.
if the Rangers had any guts they'd take guys like Kreider and Mika off PP1 and relegate them to 3rd or 4th line duty and cut their minutes. Lindgren should be 7th D Man. Give all the kids a chance to make things happen and I bet they'll be okay. these young players are going to be ruined at this rate. season's done. the only thing that can be done is to salvage these kids and cut the deadweight. I don't care how many records Kreider holds or how long he's been on the team, he can be and should be moved. Mika's contract is almost impossible unless he waives his NMC and the only way to do that is to cut his minutes and tell him if he wants more ice time then waive and go somewhere else. We gave these guys so many chances and keep making excuses and pretend like things are going to change.
This is basically the same exact team that won the President's trophy last season. It's obvious that Laviolette has lost the team. He needs to go and so does Drury.
People seem to still like to target individual players to dump thinking this somehow will solve the problem. It is not one player or only certain individuals. This is a team that is completely demoralized. The TEAM. Claiming that Borgen deal brings in a physical presence was not evident in the Tampa game when he was credited with just one hit. A horrible deal which is all we see from Drury.
Lavi is not good at developing young talent or playing the young guys. Saw it in Philly, Nashville, and in DC. guy's a dinosaur and reliant on vets. He's a decent coach---not great-- but he also has a very short shelf life. You'll get 2 good years out of him at the most before it all goes down the drain
This is not the coach, bad management from the top. Destroyed morale-need to fire the GM and build a hard hitting old school hockey brand. Dump the puck and crash the net. Greasy goals wins games. None of this east-west crap. It’s time for a rebuild. Have we ever had a hard hitting old school team? O yeah in 94 and 40…
@ uh. No. This is not 1940 or 94. Tkachuk type players would be valuable. Rangers have too many soft perimeter players. Grit ans skill is the modern prototypical player. They’ve been living off goaltending and a PP and now both have stalled.
I agree with u 100%. Mika needs to sit till he starts playing like a dream .Miller needs to go and lindgren and krieder chop chop mofo ... ur jobs on the line the generosity only extends so far then it's to the wood shed and whack off with ur head for the coach and the gm
Laviolette is an absolute liability when it comes to the development of young players. I’m a caps fan and it was maddening how much he benched Connor Mcmichael. Now that mcmichael able to get ice time and spread his wings he’s second in goals on the whole team.
I called this Rangers digression at the beginning of the season. It was a lengthy list of reason the Rangers would struggle badly and everything I said would happen has happened.
I actually think they had a good game up until 1-4 against Lightning. There was definitely intentions but their confidence is so low now so the 1-4 goal totally killed the game. Still, changes need to be made. Housley is responsible for coaching defense. He obviously can’t do his job and need to go. Miller need to be traded mostly because he’s on his last year and an extension is not an option. Lindgren and Vaakanainen does nothing so they can go too. On the forwards side Mika ofc but he has all the trade protection available so that ain’t gonna happen. Reilly Smith and Sam Carrick is horrible and need to be traded. Rasmus Andersson in Flames is an obvious choice to get back
Must be interesting for Jonathan Quick..he was a part of LA seasons when there was quite a bit of negativity going on. Several changes of coaches occurred..and gradually players from the 2014 Cup rosters were traded. Thank goodness they eventually got some draft picks and a rebuild.. I have been puzzled by this Rangers downturn. They had a really good record when the slide began..obviously some significant internal conflict. Sorry for fans and players. Hope for a better turn of things . 🏒🥅💥🌿✨
i get that you want to see and give a chance to the players you've traded for but how about earning your spot? And Let's be real, Fox is not so much of a better defender than Jones but we can't talk about that? And Jones is definitely 2nd in regards to offensive ability on D. Also I'd give Robertson a 2 game look. He's doin well in Hartford
no idea why Laviolette is still there. There is clearly a disconnect between coach/players. He has a track record of this happening. Unless the players hate each other, it makes no sense.
The team actually looked improved, quicker and more engaged last night but defensive lapses and shaky goaltending doomed them...the problem I see is this team is not assertive, they're playing their sticks rather than demanding body positioning out there and fighting for it. I thought Lavvy was a good coach last year but has shown he caves under pressure this year. Yeah we need a couple more gritty players but this team is quite capable of playing a more assertive brand of hockey. That is on the coach. This coach has lost his team, or so it seems. Fire him.
The season is over. Everyone pointing fingers at the players but what about mangement and coaching. Where is their accountability. Peter benching every player possible. He didn't even bench Mika once when he clearly should be. Putting krider on the 4th line? I put more blame on druy. From presidents to last. Those traded just show alot of incompetence. Trading our 2 best defensive players is outrageous considering how bad our defense is. A coaching change is needed. And if we can't get back on track it's time for druy to go and do an actual rebuild. We signed igor and Laffy long term and the team looks like this. Lost season.
This team is fried from last year. They easily met expectations last season IMO. The whole President's trophy thing was just a smoke screen. This team is not that good, their system sucks. And this season just about every team in the league has blown the doors wide open, showing every single defensive weakness and flaw. They are not the FL Panthers, who went to the SCF in back to back seasons and took home a championship on the second try. Bigger note: The roster will never matter. The problem is ownership. The Dolans ownership of the Rangers and Knicks are purely something they can wave about. Look what JD did to the Knicks.
What the hell is questionable about scratching a Dman that clearly should have been traded years ago instead of wasting development of NHL level prospects like Robertson? Jones is small and soft and doesn't provide the offence that was expected from him. Enough of him already. And enough of Brodzinski too. We could have developed some decent prospects with all the games they got so far. This is why we suck at developing players.
Too many players having terrible seasons to fix this now. It doesn't matter what lines you put together when at least 2-3 of those players, including D men, are having atrocious seasons. This cant be fixed when you a 1/3 of your team is playing like garbage.
I know you said that there’s a slight chance that they can maybe make the playoffs but what have you seen in this team that shows you that they got a fighting chance they just keep getting embarrassed they don’t show no fight in their game and I don’t wanna keep hearing that they’re mad at management they not giving back their money to management for the way they’re playing. What about the fans that are paying top dollar to watch this team this team has no heart it’s really hard to watch this team. How did you go from the president trophy last year to so far last place?
If you’re not gonna play Jones just trade him. I’d rather the Rangers do that than , once again & as ALWAYS, they destroy the development of ANOTHER player. Prime example is Kakko who we got ABSOLUTELY hosed within his trade. Typical administration… just ruin the developing of potential star/solid players for just no reason at all. Yup… the NY Rangers… an organization of DIS-organization since 1926😫🤦♂️🤬👎
It's a Lost season. Trade for high draft picks!. We need a GM who can put a tough team together. Igor could bring in some quality that we need. Unfortunately we need to let go now for the future!.
Don't make excuses...Regardless of poor defense the 13 million dollar man MUST stay on the bench...Not show up his team by leaving...He will become part of the locker room cancer!!
mika & miller r cancers & must be removed to see a difference in this team. its obvious. there r other players too like fox & lindgren so remove all of them & get serious with this team because u have only been good enough these years but that is all
It's never really lost. I've seen crazier turn a-rounds. But the tactics are going to have to change. And Lavi can't adjust. He was never my guy. I think he has limits not originality. And I don't think young guys adapt their games under his system. 🏒🍾

Last year they were very lucky in a lot of aspects. PP clicked so many come from behind wins.
The beginning of the season went well. Then the trade talks started and it seems everyone quit.
