Laf is terrible. I don’t want to hear about him anymore. No speed and cannot be out there in OT. Gallant is a moron. Krav playing well and demoted him. Krav is the type of player that needs to be out there in OT. Zman killing us with all the missed chances. Thank you Igor for getting us a point!
 
Oh please don’t give me that Lafreniere shit open your fucking eyes. Panarin was a fucking embarrassment in this game from the drop of the puck all the way to the end he didn’t even fucking skate. The first power-play unit stays on the fucking ice forever they refuse to come off because there’s no accountability. Trocheck had his head up his ass all game he never got benched. Typical New York Ranger fan base blame the young guys and give the vets a pass.
 
Maybe some gm will bite and give Drury a first for Laf in this draft. They will have three picks in the first round. Package them and get Bedard.

Just stop. The kid has done absolutely nothing all year. When they win not a peep from you. A bad lose and it's like an opportunistic moment for you to cry about your boy toy.
 
Not blaming the young guys dump. But Laf just doesn’t have it. The others I like. We’re not going anywhere with gallant kowtowing to the vets. Goodrow and trocheck are nothing special. Make a ton of mistakes and never suffer any consequences. I’m sick of panerin too staying on I’ve forever and floating on defense.
 
I think he's going to end up in Vancouver or Chicago at the DL.
 
With Othmann waiting in the wings you would think it's either him or Laf will go. There is no room in the upcoming years for all the young guys especially knowing this franchise prefers the vets over the young forwards.
 
Dude you guys suck more vet cock than any fan base I've ever seen. Lafreniere was the reason we were up 1-0. Go watch Panarin every shift in this game. I'll tell you right now, he was hungover. Go watch every shift of this overpaid schmuck. He looked like he was 60 years old in this game. He should have been benched early in the first and should be scratched next game yet you are bitching about a kid who got us the lead. Pathetic. 717 you have been sucking vet cock for years and like the coaches here, you never hold them accountable. By the way 717 you buffoon, Lafreniere basically has as many even strength points as Zibanejad, Kreider, Trocheck and Panarin when you espeically factor in how much less icetime he gets. Do some research dipshit.

Panarin has 27 even strength points playing over 20 minutes a game. Zibanejad has 24 even strength points playing over 20 minutes a game. Trochek has 17 even strength points playing over 20 minutes a game. Kreider has 21 even strength points playing 19 minutes a game. Lafreniere has 17 even strength points playing about 15 minutes a game. That's with never getting any PP time to get the confidence going because the selfish, shithead vets on this team stay out on every PP for 1:40 even when they are tired because our coach is a pussy who spreads his ass cheeks for the vets on this team.
 
Love how the way Joe on the last play was talking about Lafreniere trying to pass on a 2 on 1. How about the fact that Chytil who is 23 looked like he had been on the ice for 5 minutes trying to get back on d. Maybe the reason Chytil is always hurt is because his conditioning sucks ass.
 
And guys like goodroow vescey and Julian have as many goals with less ice time than Laff ..yet we need to cater to the baby.

You suck off every prospect like they are Cindy crosby.

Guess what every team has prospects and every team gms sucks every coach in the league sucks...the entire NHL has less knowledge than you.
 
I still think Laf will end up a good nhler who will be 50 to 60 points guy. I don't think he will be a huge difference maker like Hughes though. He just does not seem like he has it in him and thats fine.
 
Hughes has a super power - his skating is top notch star level. Lafreniere doesn't have that, and he needs to make up for it by shooting more, being more aggressive, creativity etc. The kid has excellent skills overall though, his Jr. numbers and his NHL even strength numbers show that. He just needs more maturity, a consistent motor, and experience. He'll get there, but he needs to put in the time and work.

What would you like? A new coach every season? You had a fire Gallant thread up last November. I'm sorry but it can't be taken seriously. If hockey had a WAR Stat like baseball Lafreniere would be an 0.1 if he's lucky. Suck of the vets.....what does that even mean? When they win you're silent because who's leading the charge of those wins? It's certainly not Laf who you have this odd devotion towards. I would like him to do well but at this point he has done absolutely nothing.
 
It's a cultural thing with this organization. Look who has been in charge behind the scenes for the last 23 years. The first thing Sather did when he came is signing any vets he could lay his finger on. It continued for years until Hank and to some extent Jagr came and dragged this team to the playoffs. The vets are always given the preference over young forwards. It's like with all other NY teams.
 
I suppose Chytil doesn't count..the kid has been given lots of chances here...kakko has been promoted but that doesn't count.
There is this mad rush to push young kids over established vets..why? We were 1 win and 1 period away from the finals last year and all we hear is how the coach sucks and this savior is being screwed.

What is the first PP unit supposed to do...change while the puck is in the offensive zone?
 
I give up trying to explain it. You would think after watching this organization win nothing since 1994 people would learn. Watching the team put two rookies in Kovalev and Zubov on the first PP unit and playing them a ton. If you think Trochek, Kreider, Panarin, etc... are going to lead this team to the cup, you're delusional.
 
Then GIVE UP trying to explain it instead of beating the dead horse when it fits your narrative.
If you think a Lafreniere, Kakko and Chytil led Rangers would get into the playoffs at this stage of their careers you know even less about hockey than what you've already shown.
But keep telling us all about how Kakko is going to get an offer sheet this off-season because every other team saw how impactful he is and will become...oh wait, sorry that was last year. How'd that work out anyway? But this year, its 100% going to be Lafreniere getting a big time offer sheet by the Canadiens...he lit them up on Thursday, they must be frothing at their collective poutine-eating mouths to give up substantial draft capital for him. LOL
Maybe it's time we all put Drump on ignore? At least we won't have to keep reading his repetitive messages with blatantly homo-erotic overtones....
 
Exactly, we get it. You're obsessed with Lafreniere even though he has sucked and think playing him 25 minutes a night and on the PP1 will make him an immortal. That's your position and we've heard it a thousand times.
 
In an alternative universe, the rangers make the playoffs and win the cup. Laf wins Con Smyth trophy and rides into the sunset showing the finger to everyone. Dump becomes the rangers president and gm and fires everyone on his first day on the job.
 
The 1994 power play had a less successful rate than the 2021 pp....the top pp goal scorer Adam graves..next...Mike gartner...Alexis had 7 pp goals for the year.
 
Even Keenan was smart enough to realize he needed to develop young players as quick as possible to win the cup. Apparently we don’t do that anymore which is why we don’t win anything.
 
People don’t want to seem to accept the fact the Rangers don’t know what they’re doing developing forwards. Morgan Barron for example has 14 points in 43 games for the Winnipeg Jets. Essentially he’s probably played almost 3/4 of an NHL season in his career. Lafreniere has 18 points in 40 games this year. I didn’t hear anybody in this fan base stating that Morgan Barron could play in the NHL. Yet, miraculously he starting to play well on another team. I’m quite sure a lot of people here said Morgan Barron didn’t have it.
 
Here is where you guys are complete phonies. There wasn't one person on this board last playoffs who wasn't sucking off Lafreniere. Not one person here said he doesn't have it. He was one of the best players they had in the playoffs. Now all of a sudden he doesn't have it? Wake up. He's a player that thinks the coach is a dickhead who refuses to play young players on the pp and never holds vets accountable for mistakes or being lazy. He's not wrong. Kreider, Panarin, Trochek, Zibanejad and Fox are becoming selfish. They stay out every fucking pp for 1:40, no matter how tired they are. They are at the point now where they do what they want because they know the coach is a pussy. People are praising Kakko. That's nice. He has fucking 18 points and is a plus 4. Lafreniere has 18 points and is a plus 1. Kakko plays on a top line. He should look better. We all have seen the size and speed combo of Gauthier which is rare. I think he's faster than Kredier once he's going. He plays under 9 minutes a game. Gauthier to me is a guy I would be going all out to develop offensively because he's type of guy that can win you playoff games. Yet, he barely plays. This team would have lost to Pitt in the first round last year if Crosby didn't get hurt. This year if they make the playoffs, I would not expect them to win a round. Face it, they stepped in shit last year. I give full marks for beating the Canes but the reality is they shouldn't have gotten out of the first round.
 
To me the issue isn't so much should Kakko and Laf be better, yes I 10000% agree both should be better than they are thus far given the expectations, and their talent. We agree on that no doubt.

The issues start there though:

1. You think it is all coaching, and for some ridiculous reason not playing on PP1, as if that would make them studs overnight. It is on the players to step up and play better. Be complete players. Understand this is not the toilet last place awful Devs when Hughes was drafted, and therefore Kakko and Laf have to do this for a much better team. That is unfair in some ways, but reality. This is on the players AND the coaches. Not one way either way. Both sides could do things better.

2. Your non-stop negativity on EVERYTHING. I don't see how you can truly be a Rangers fan, unless you are a miserable person in general. It is just about all negative all the time. Look at your last post. Glass 99% empty is always the position you take. It's ridiculous. You aren't all wrong, but you go too far. It isn't always bad. And don't give me 1 cup since 1940. While true, that cannot be your answer for see we do suck at everything because we have 1 cup. That's lazy. We have won a lot of playoff series the past 11 years, enjoy some of it.

3. You blame the coach for everything. Doesn't matter who the coach is, within months you post you want them fired. It is never a kid, it is always the coaches. Again lazy.

4. I am 100% convinced you don't care about winning, all you care about are picks, kids, prospects. If it were up to you you'd have a team of all young kids and lose every game. You'd trade away all vets for picks. Start your prospect threads, and love it. And all the kids will be great, oh expect when the coach F's them.

5. You take over every thread with all of this. No matter where you look. This coach sucks, PP1, screwing this guy. On and on, and all with your signature vulgarity added in. It is quite a mix.

That's how I see it at least. And I will say I love your passion, I just wish you would chill a bit so this board could grow, and it isn't poster battle after poster battle.
 
I think everyone on the board has been patient with Laf being a #1O and all but he's been a slow developer, doesn't mean he's a bust, just takes longer than most. Your problem is you prematurely latch onto players like Jarko Immonen for example and defend them to the death regardless of their performance. I think Alexi has been playing better, if you were watching the Rangers games you would see in the last 10 games Kappo Kakko figured it out and is a player to be reckoned with every shift like Chytil. I don't know why you're complaining about GG, he has Laf on track for a career season.

Last year the team went in a new direction and had immediate success and now in your reality they should have lost first round? Some fan.
