Pitt vs Rangers

[kreidertime]

Already ABC sucking dong.

 

[kreidertime]

Some chick comes on and said the book on Shesterkin was he was a bit lazy in Russia. What are you talking about bitch. I never read one article or scouting report that said that. Stupid ho.

 

[Ranger71]

This team sucks on the rush.

 

[kreidertime]

Is Mess doing shots during the game. He said that Miller reminds him of a young Larry Robinson. Though, I must admit since Miller started getting bashed on the chat boards, his game has been much, much, better. He's playing well now. When Mess made that comment I could have swore he was taking about Schneider. I had to hit the rewind button.

 

[Stepupstepan]

I missed that lol. If miller turns into Larry Robinson that would be amazing. Igor is the best player as always every single game. I dont know but he might end up being even better than Hank. lol

 

[kreidertime]

Panerin consistently stays out too long for shifts

 

[Ranger71]

5 shots since the 1st period isn't gonna work.

 

[kreidertime]

They sure didn’t play it like it was a meaningful game after the first

 

[Ranger71]

They look off at both ends today.

 

[kreidertime]

Maybe it’s the camera angles but it looks like the Rangers shots had no velocity on them

 

[Ranger71]

Guys holding the puck way too long.

 

[kreidertime]

Looks like they spent all yesterday kissing their own asses over their Washington performance

 

[kreidertime]

Fox needs to shoot the fucking puck

 

[Ranger71]

I think we'll see Georgiev tomorrow.

 

[Ranger71]

Chytil must be getting benched, i don't think he's hurt.

 

[Stepupstepan]

32 million in cap space. More than all eastern playoffs teams combined. I think Drury will make some changes by the trading deadline.

 

[Ranger71]

They need a 3rd pair dman and a forward. Jones needs more strength and Hajek evidently can't be relied on much. I think Jones will go in some sort of deal. Giordano would be a great vet to pair with Schneider.

 

[kreidertime]

He’s not factoring in the contracts on the books next year that aren’t on the books this year like Fox

 

[Ranger71]

Yeah i think for the rest of this year they have about 7m before any deals. 32m must be after the year is up.

 

[kreidertime]

Zibanejad got a 3 million raise. So right off the bat that’s 12 million less and I’m sure Kakko is going to get a least 2 million. They might also try to lock him into a four year $16 million deal if they think he’s going to break out so they could have some control over him. Personally I would give Kakko four years at 16 million because I think when he takes the next step if it’s significant it’s going to cost is 6 million instead of only four

 

[Ranger71]

If they trade Chytil that will give them about 10m to work with at the deadline. Enough for 2 players.

 

[Greyvtrayn]

CAn't win em all. They had chances and couldn't beat Jarry. Glad they come right back tomorrow night. Let's get a good look at Miller.....

 

[Ranger71]

Learning moment for Fox not to cheat too much on the pk. Malkin was wide open.

 

[kreidertime]

Fox has not been the same since he got hurt in that game. He’s playing timid.

 

[NYR Fan]

That is how much pro-rated cap space they have left for the remainder of this year. Next year when raises and such go into effect, is a whole different situation.

For this year if these 3 things happen, the Rangers can play with any team IMO:

1. Add a middle 6 forward
2. Add a vet LD
3. Get Kakko back healthy

If those 3 things happen, with Igor in goal, and the team they currently have in place, I think the Rangers can absolutely threaten to win a Cup.

Drury needs to get it done. We have a golden opp right now before all these raises. We have plenty of picks and prospects from which to trade. And we don't need to add studs either. Good solid middle 6 forward, and a 2nd pair type LD. He needs to close the deal.
