Stone wasn’t injured taking a hit, he was injured taking a shot with absolutely nobody around him. Looked like a groin injury potentially.


Yep, you're right, my bad. Fixed it.

Ryan Strome in COVID protocol for the Rangers, will miss tomorrow's game against the Habs. Also, Dylan Larkin has been suspended one game (deservedly so) after sucker-punching Mathieu Joseph after Joseph hit Larkin into the boards (and was called for roughing upon video review).

Was visiting my family and my mom's friend from work came over

She showed me and the family some pictures she took over the summer.

One of the pictures I kid you not has Alex Pitrangelo in it during a barbaque it looked like... And what makes it interesting is she knows him from before he was in the NHL (used to be neighbours). Still keeps in contact to and when he goes to visit his family he often visits her to

Now if that wasnt exciting enough she asked me do I want a signed Team Canada Pitrangelo Jersey once their available

So yeah Im really excited for these upcoming Olympics lul

I need to get something off my chest, here I go:

I really have a lot of issues with the people trashing Drury and treating Davidson and Gorton as Gods among mortals for one simple reason: they massively contradict themselves while not even realizing it:
They say (and I won't name names here) that Drury is dumb for ''giving away Buch''(yeah, agreed that he should've gotten more) and giving too much $ and term to Goodrow, while also criticizing us for having guys like Trouba and Kreider around on bad deals and trashing us for keeping Quinn that long...

yeah, um, how do I put this... HEY GUYS, these two people you treat like geniuses, Gorton and Davidson, THEY'RE 100% RESPONSIBLE for these 3 things you love to criticize about us, and I could even add a 4th thing, keeping Georgiev when they could've sold high on him... Gorton overpaid and ''overtermed'' both Kreids and Trouba and yet no one criticizes him and JD for that, they also kept Quinn for wayyyyyyyy too long (they would've kept him at the end of the 2021 season, I'm 95% convinced) even tho THE VERY SAME PEOPLE treating Gorton and Davidson like geniuses also say stuff like ''lol, the Rangers are so dumb, they're ruining Chytil, Kakko and Laffy'', while not even realizing that they were defending (they still are) the people that kept the problem (Quinn) around these 3 young players.


Again, yeah, Drury overcorrected for our lack of grit, he should've gotten more for Buch (at least one more 2nd), and Goodrow's 6th year on his deal is a worry but regardless, we were getting pushed around by pretty much everyone, so this needed fixig.

My rant is over, thx for reading

here's what, in hindsight, we should've done:
At the 2020 TDL, sell high on Kreider. He was having an ''elite'' season and those guys (he was an expiring UFA in his prime) have a TON of value at the TDL. IMO, if we had dealt him to a team like STL, we could've gotten Kyrou and a first. That's the kind of deal teams can get at a TDL. But the problem with this is that it was impossible for us to know that we were getting Lafrenière and since time travel, especially time travel in the future, isn't exactly a thing, then it made a ton of sense to extend Kreider.

Right now we could have this as our top 9:
Panarin
Mika
Buch
Kakko
Chytil
Laffy
Kravstov
Strome
Kyrou

With this we'd have a lot more flexibility moving forward

Werenski and Nurse deals aren't too bad, Nurse deal is overpayment by about 1mil and Werenski isn't really an overpayment, Jones though woof, that's an overpayment by at least 1.5

Fun fact about aviation from an aspiring pilot: the engines that power the brand new 777x are so huge that you could fit a 737 fuselage in them

That new CBA agreement favored the owners. But then again what agreement doesn't favor them lul. Sure it was needed to play the bubble but come on, if the owners spent even 5% more of their money to help the league we would have not seen the flat cap happen. But nah they dont want to pay a dime more.

Flexibility yes, but they're once again lacking grit.

NYR got Wilson'd pretty bad, and that turned the sails on where this team is heading. If their plan is having two scoring line, one defending line and one gritty line they don't really need all of those 9 forwards, six of them will do, which is why Buch was dealt for a pesky return and Kravtsov has problems fitting into the team.

I agree with your other points though. Bashing Drury about things he had no control over is just stupid and naive...but I have this nagging feeling that those words describe at least a very vocal part of Rangers fans quite well.
