I hear you, I think Boston is a very good team. Certainly can win the series, I just like TB better. I think that team is on a mission, and will make the SCF this year. I wish we could have seen Bos-TB in the ECF. That's where this series belongs.

Hayes - Kreider is pretty close. Given we now have Lafreniere (and Panarin), I think Hayes would be the better fit here, but no one could have foreseen us getting the # 1 pick stud LW.
 
Hayes got $7 mil the Rangers couldn't afford so it's kind of a moot point but I like CK better so I'm happy with the Rangers keeping him over Hayes.
 
I give Boston the edge on toughness and experience but Tampa has more talent. Either way should be a great series. On a side note, think Milbury got dumped off NHL show for a ridiculously tame remark about no women in the bubble to distract players. He wasn't on the panel when they came back from break.

Hayes got 7 mill, and Kreider got 6.5 mill, so they could afford Hayes instead of Kreider. Plus potentially the Rangers could have re-signed Hayes for around the same as Kreider if they did so before he became a UFA. My take is I prefer Hayes simply due to the fact that he is a C, which is a position of need for us.

If my choice was Hayes as the # 2 C flanked by Panarin and Kakko OR Kreider playing RW or LW on the 3rd line, positionally I think we would have been better off with Hayes. Doesn't matter much at this point, but I do think it is something to think about given how we have added three potential stud wingers the past two off-seasons - Panarin, Kakko, Lafreniere, and need a # 2 C.

I agree though, it certainly isn't a slam dunk either way, Kreider or Hayes.

Milbury shouldn't gotten fired. He should have gotten a raise for telling the truth. When players are worried about banging ho's hanging around they don't play as well. Common sense. This country is full of nothing but pussies now. I don't like Milbury, but this candy ass country is an embarrassment now.
 
Pretty soon they will pass a law that single men have to fuck fat or ugly women to make those women feel better about themselves. That's after the pass a law that when seeing a black person we must apologize for what happened years ago. What happened to Milbury is what happens when you let liberal pussies run things. Much like our democrat run cities which have turned into shithole, crime zones where they are shooting people left and right and don't care.
 
Not hard to get triggered when the country you have lived in has turned into a bunch of liberal pussies. It's absurd. You can't take a shit without somebody complaining about it.
 
I don't like Milbury much either but he's there to give his opinion, just have some off camera Karen come on after break to give Mike a dressing down. "Not even any women here to disrupt your concentration" gets a guy fired from a network whose top brass and talent raped and molested for decades.
 
Definitely not a fireable comment. I think his apology was on point though. He was trying to be irreverent....he's not delivering the news, he's trying to be entertaining.
 
Caps fired their coach today. First shoe to drop for them. I expect Holtby to be gone as well.
 
Well you have been right about Tampa so far. They are taking it to Boston. Perhaps after that embarrassment last year this is finally their time.
 
Tampa has taken it to the Bs, think the lack of a crowd hurts teams like Boston but I like watching them lose. Speaking about Rangers centers that got away, how about JT Miller? Breakout scoring season and 59% on faceoffs. The Rangers had to make the trade because TB made such a generous offer but JT would be a good #2C option.
 
Out of all the players the Rangers have traded away the past few seasons, the only one I really miss and wish we had kept is Miller. He is the kind of player you want on your team in big spots and in the playoffs, even if his playoff stats have not always backed that up.
 
Miller was a moron here and in Tampa. I heard he said in an article that he needed a wake up call and getting traded to Vancouver was it. There is nothing to do out there compared to NY and Florida.

Chuckles is that you under a new name?
 
71, your slow. We've been calling chuck out since last year!! Ha Ha Ha
 
Incredible game between the Flyers and Isles tonight...wow! These teams are fun to watch. So glad its going at least 6.
 
Gives Tampa more time to rest and heal up which is good. Isles fans were bitching about the refs. Spare me. Both the games Philly won should have never gone to OT if the dumbasses could hold a lead. Of course, AV has no clue how to get his players to play defense when it matters. I was amazed how bad the Flyers PP is. Their defenseman are not capable of running the PP.
 
Hart and Demko both stood on their heads last night. Demko 2 games in a row. Philly seems to be figuring the Islanders goaltending out now.
 
Dallas moves on, which helps our pick. Now will be 21-23 depending on the outcomes of the other two game 7's. If the Canucks and Isles win we pick 21, if only one wins we pick 22, if neither wins we pick 23.

As for Colorado, they are a good goalie away from being a SC winning team. I'd expect them to go all in to add a goalie this off-season.
 
Definitely is Chuck! What happened? Forget your other password?
 
Pick 22 it is. Not a bad spot to be in. Package that pick for a # 2 C or a very good LD to play with Trouba.

As for the playoffs, two good series coming up. I'll take the Lightning and Knights, but the Isles and Stars both have very legit chances to win.

To me if Kucherov is healthy, and the layoff doesn't hurt them, I think TB will beat the Isles, and continue the mission they are on, but that Isles team is deep and talented, so it will be a hard fought series.
 
Islanders are not that talented. They play a Torts like system. They were dead meat at the end of the season. Completely worn out. Covid saved their sorry asses and they made a run as I predicted. Entirely different animal they are facing now. Just as if they played Boston. They won't shut this PP down like they did the Flyers. I expect the Islanders to play dirty. That's about the only chance I give them.
 
Too bad Colorado couldn't hang on against Dallas. They are still a work in progress defensively.
