Dumb penalties kept the Sens in the game but the top lines have woken up and are contributing now. Gavrikov is looking like a great signing, exactly what the Rangers needed offseason. Soucy has been better than expected too, 6 of the Rangers top 7 shot blockers are defensemen. The idea that the Rangers should tank because this time they'll know how to correctly dismantle and rebuild is a bit of a stretch since it's only been done successfully once. Laf is trending for a worse year than last year's disappointing drop off in scoring, no GM is going to drop their pants to obtain this lazy hump .Get on a treadmill Alexi, the talent gap between your fat ass and Stutzle is wide, 3 guys in the same draft have scored more than this bust.
Another year and perhaps Al is still on board with me thinking the season isn't quite over yet. I think they'll make the payoffs with Sullivan's system once all the players embrace it. I love them challenging the puck in the neutral zone creating turnovers, clearing the crease remains a major issue though. Laba is significantly better than any of the other prospects and he's in the lineup every game.
