Official Dan Girardi sucks thread

[dumpstralmannow]

and it will remain until this jackass remembers how to play hockey and stops giving up tons of scoring chances with stupidity.

 

[dumpstralmannow]

It's time to consider that Girardi can't play in any system based on skating like AV's and can only play in an all defense/shot blocking system like he did with Renney and Torts.

 

[Ranger71]

Been saying it for a long time, he's been overrated by our fans since he's been here.

 

[chuckd3534]

To me the bottom line is they should deal one of these dmen for a scoring forward. Whoever it is, Girardi or MDZ, is okay with me. They just need to deal some dman for a scorer IMO.

 

[dumpstralmannow]

MDZ can make some bonehead plays but he's 23, can skate and fits this system better than Girardi. Girardi looks completely lost. Skjei might be NHL ready after this season and is said to be a future shutdown type. I like Allen and McIllrath by about mid-season to be ready. I'd trade Girardi.

 

[Stepupstepan]

Maybe they should cut his icetime but saying that he completely sucks and cant play in this system is overreaction.

 

[dumpstralmannow]

No it isn't. He's sucked from day one this year. He's been awful and there is no defending it.

 

[Stepupstepan]

He has had some decent games this year and good at blocking shots still. He is well liked in the locker-room so if you trade him there might be an issue with the rest of the players.

 

[dumpstralmannow]

The rest of the players can go f themselves. They have won nothing. They will play and shut the hell up. This isn't a locker room with tons of rings.

 

[Stepupstepan]

I would wait and see what you can get for him at the draft. Maybe they can move him for the first rounder.

 

[Ranger71]

I think DZ will get moved fairly soon, especially if his production dosen't pick up, I don't think AV is going to have a ton of patience with him. Even if Nash comes back they still could use another mid-level scorer.

 

[dumpstralmannow]

They should go after Moulson. Lord knows the crappy Sabres need defenseman.

 

[Disturbed]

They should go after Moulson. Lord knows the crappy Sabres need defenseman.

I love the idea of getting Moulson. He is a good PP guy too

 

[Ranger71]

Wouldn't mind him. Maybe Fleischmann although he's signed for 3 more years.

 

[Stepupstepan]

I like the idea of moulson. He will fit right in.

 

[dumpstralmannow]

Wanted Moulson the second the Islanders traded him. I would sign him during the season also. If they wanted MDZ they would have to give up substantially more in the deal. Something like

Moulson, Ott and their second round pick for MDZ, Pyatt and Pouliot. I'd prefer to keep Pouliot but you have to even out the money. Moulson and Ott are both UFA's at the end of the season. I would make sure before doing the deal that both will sign with the team. Our centers freakin suck at faceoffs other than Boyle. We could use Ott.

 

[Stepupstepan]

Buffalo wont make that trade if their gm has any brain. It's clearly one sided. If you throw in J.T. or some mid-level prospect like Hrivik then they may do it. I think they will hold on to both Moulson and Ott to get more at the trade deadline.

 

[chuckd3534]

With Buffalo firing everyone today, I am sure they will want to take some time and see what they have before they make big moves.

New coach, Nolan. New head of hockey ops, LaFontaine.

Regier finally out.

 

[migman91]

Pretty sure I started a trade dan girardi thread at the beginning of the season... his deadline value will be through the roof. Contenders always want rentals like Girardi and the haul for him will be great. At least a 1st rounder.

 

[jamsim67]

Do the Rangers have that one player who can put the rest of the team on his shoulders. It doesn't look like it. It seems like when the team struggles, they all struggle and they all struggled last night. But that's the way the Devils play. They don't have the skaters or the scorers, so they clog up as much of the ice as possible giving the opposition as little room to move as possible, and then try to capitalize on their mistakes. Rangers lost as a team last night, because plenty of mistakes were made at both ends of the ice.

 

[Ranger71]

Our dmen seem to always have problems with bunching together at the wrong time.lol

 

[Puckmeat]

While in years past I really liked the way Giradi played, Dump is right, he's not doing so great in this new system. I wouldn't be opposed to a trade for a scorer right now(what Ranger fan couldn't do with more goals?), but I do think he'll net more at the deadline than now, unless it was to the Sabres, and that's only because...to be blunt, they are terrible and might make a bad deal that we get a whole lot for. Say what you will, but Sather's been decent at fleecing other teams in trades.

But, did I read that right, Dump actually gave Boyle a compliment? What happened here? God damn I hate not having the internet.

 

[Ranger71]

You won't get a 1st rounder for him but maybe a 2nd and a decent prospect.

 

[Puckmeat]

Right now, I agree. If the Rangers and Giradi have a halfway decent season, they might be able to get a 1st rounder at the deadline, maybe with a package.

 

[dumpstralmannow]

I already posted that about the farm rating Chuck and it's total horsecrap. HF is run by losers who hate NY. Never changes over there.

 

[chuckd3534]

So you delete the thread because you think it is horsecrap? I am not saying I agree or disagree, but why delete it?

 

[migman91]

You won't get a 1st rounder for him but maybe a 2nd and a decent prospect.

when paul gaustad goes for 1st round picks at the deadline dan girardi certainly will.

 

[Disturbed]

Robin Regehr got 2 2nd rounders from LA last year. Girardi could get that or maybe a #1

 

[Ranger71]

That's true Mig, I keep forgetting that.

 

[dumpstralmannow]

Girardi might be more used up at 29 than a lot of defenseman. He's played a lot of hard hockey under Torts who wanted him to use his face as goalie pads.
