Hurry Cane vs Rangers

[Greyvtrayn]

Give Fox the night off too...watching him skate it's like he is half asleep. No jump, no energy.

First half of the period Rangers looked a step slow. Team gets stronger as the game gets older.

 

[Ranger71]

Nice period for Georgiev.

 

[Messiah717]

Getting outshot 27-5 at the moment.

 

[Rangers94]

Explain to me why we play Carolina either on the first game of a back to back or second game of a back to back EVERY TIME we play them? Who made this schedule? Ray Charles?

 

[Ranger71]

Terrible job by the refs blowing that dead.

 

[Messiah717]

#41 makes it 1-0.

 

[Rangers94]

We need Reaves to end Aho’s night. Aho running around out there like he’s a big bad bully. Reaves needs to set him straight.

 

[kreidertime]

These games we so badly miss Blais. He hits like a mack truck. Scumbag Subban. He's built for the playoffs. Miller is no longer playing like Poti. Thank God he's figuring it out. He was worrying me for a while. I'd like to see him take boxing lessons and beat the shit out of a couple of guys next year. Georgiev is on it tonight. Thank God he need this.

 

[Stepupstepan]

Georgiev knows it’s his last chance to show other teams he is a capable goalie when he plays more often. Maybe Drury can get something good for him tomorrow.

 

[Ranger71]

Yike.

 

[kreidertime]

Honestly I would sit fox out the last seven out of nine games of the season. I play him the last two to get him back into things he looks like he’s got nothing left

 

[kreidertime]

Or play him every other game maybe the last 12

 

[BigDaddyAl1973]

Cha ching

 

[Ranger71]

Happy for Georgiev after a rough season.

 

[Messiah717]

I don't know how they pulled that one off. Back to back wins against Tampa and Carolina on the road is huge.

 

[mrmel29]

Great game by the rangers especially after big win in Tampa last night. Best game I’ve seen geuorgiev play and just in time hopefully to get something good at the deadline tmo. Still don’t think drury does much but I guess we’ll know at 3pm tmo!

 

[Greyvtrayn]

Gutsy win...Georgiev was the difference tonight. Seems like that is the case a lot of the time. <insert goalie name here> bailed the Rangers out and stole 2 points.

I'll say this, the team has done everything they can to show Drury they deserve him stepping up and adding the additional pieces we need to make a long run. We all know what they are, a top 6 forward and a LD upgrade. It is now squarely on Drury's shoulders to get it done. If he has to overpay a little bit, he has to do it.

I don't give up Lundkvist or Robertson at this time. But the picks are open IMO. If we have to give up our 1st next season, given that we have stockpiled SO many picks the past few seasons, and have two 2nd round picks, I do it for the right player or players.

A lot of teams have shot their shot already, so we should be in a good spot. Leafs, Panthers, Bruins, TB have all made big deals. Takes some buyers out of the market. Puts us in a good position to get good value and add what we need to be legit.

We are going to beat the Pens in round 1, home ice or not, then we'd play the Canes, best team I have seen this year, and that will be a really tough series, but one we can win with an edge in goal, and some reinforcements added. And we'd only have to face 1 of the Panthers, Leafs, or Lightning.

Now it is time for Drury to step up to the plate. He is on the clock until 3 PM tomorrow.

 

[Ranger71]

He must be worried about Rakells injury lingering or it seems that deal might've been done by now. Someone will give Dubas a 1st for him, even if he's out another week. Copp could be an option too but doesn't give quite the offensive boost Rakell might.

 

[NYR Fan]

I wouldn't mind Copp. Bigger and more versatile. Solid on FO's as well, 53.8 win % this season on over 550 FO's. 53% last season also. Rakell is a more natural scorer, but Copp is a nice player also. I would take either as an upgrade. Hey Drury can afford both, so let's add both of them and a LD. Go for it.

 

[Ranger71]

Gotta get at least one of those forwards plus a dman. I don't see how you could go into a 2nd round with Nemeth and feel very comfortable.

 

[kreidertime]

Copp is a better fit. He's a 53% faceoff guy who is physical and can be solid offensively.

 

[mrmel29]

I don’t see drury going for it now unless the prices come drastically down. Don’t see any game changing forward rentals I’d give up a first for. Their offense would look better with a defensive upgrade over nemeth so they don’t spend that whole shift in their own end. Chychrun if I’m spelling it right would be a guy with term I would part with a first for.

 

[kreidertime]

Agree he’s only 24 and he’ll be here for a long time like Trouba
