Rangers - Isles Thread

[kreidertime]

That is why the Rangers made the trade for Nash. They thought with Hank, McDonagh, Nash and maybe Stepan they had 4 core players do build around. Unfortunately, Nash turned out to be a playoff dud. You could make the case if Nash turned out to be Kane or Toews in the playoffs, the Rangers have 2 cups now. They were that close.

Yikes, Rozsival? A guy who won 1 cup as a 6th defenseman on a loaded team, and didn't even play in their second cup series? (not sure where 3 rings came from).

He wasn't awful here, but the problem with him was that he was our top shutdown defenseman. He was not cut out for that role whatsoever. He is, and always has been a bottom pair guy.

Jesus what a black hole of a time for this team, remember that next time we bitch about this roster.

I see far too many similar players on this roster. There's not a single tough forward to be had. They should've moved a defenseman early on for scoring help and I said after last season that they should sell high on Klein and see what you could get. They stood pat and Klein is looking worse and worse out there. Doesn't take the body and looks lost.

Agree times a million. I would have sold high on Klein, packaged him with Talbot at the draft and gotten a forward. I really think that package could have filled our hole in the top 6.

^^^^^^You see the name Rozival and you go apeshit........
You did not read the entire reply. It is apparent these
Rangers do not have the CORE as in the past two years.
Their window is almost closed........with the deterioration
of Girardi and Staal and the lack of toughness and scoring
from the Nashes, the Stepans, and the continuing putrid play
of Megna, Glass and Stalberg.......this team looks worse with
little chance of playoff victories......and the team is still
in 3rd place in their division.....with four teams
breathing right down their backs.
