Yeah Duff... I heard about McIlrath yesterday..... he just doesn't fit into the speed of the Ranger team now and it looks like the league is slowly getting away from average players who can fight.. we have 4 lines who have shown they can all contribute to the speed and scoring the Rangers are looking for. Hopefully, he'll get the chance to play more with Florida because the Rangers weren't doing anything for his confidence to keep bringing him up and down from Hartford or sitting in the Press Box..

I'm already bored not having any Ranger games this week and I never make it staying up for West Coast Games... :(

i too hope he plays more in his new home but i wanted him to stay.we need some muscle and someone who is not shy about dropping the gloves.yes the game is changing but we still need that someone to keep the peace so these young guys don't get battered up.

Re: 2016-2017 nhl season.....
 

Sorry to lose Dylan but as Split said he didn't fit in on THIS team. Cant believe I am saying this ED but we can always bring Tanner Glass up for a game we need muscle.

Now about AV. WTF is playing with the lines for? Splitting up Kreider Buchnevich and Zinbanejad as well as Nash Veesey Stepan is crazy. You are 10 and 4. Relax. Veesey played seconds in the 3rd period against Vancouver. Don't mess with this kids head like we did with Krieder.

Re: 2016-2017 nhl season.....
 

I know what you mean Dales... AV doesn't show emotions too easily and uses mental abuse to try and get his way.... compared to the other end of the spectrum and use physical abuse like Torts always did....

I know he shortened the lines a few games ago and it worked to get them jumpstarted, but I think this time it was a personal embarrassment to him, the whole team playing bad against his old team and being the 1st team they beat after losing 9 straight games!!

Hopefully, they'll come back for a strong road trip, and whip Vancouver next week!!

i think he is just trying to see who can play together and who can't.as this season rolls on we are going to have injuries and now is the time to check not
the day of.it looks bad right now but imagine how bad it would look the day of.
he is a good coach,a little strange in his ways but a good coach.

good weekend for the rangers!!!!west coast wins are always big!!!!

Re: 2016-2017 nhl season.....
 

I actually stayed up for both games and winning them certainly make it worth it... Imagine Nash and Zibanejad get their scoring games going again :rolleyes: Just glad the team is on a roll again!!

LET'S GO RANGERS !!!!

Re: 2016-2017 nhl season.....
 

i'll honestly never like him as a coach, just don't like his style. that being said, whatever he's doing seems to be working for now, so it's all good.

Re: 2016-2017 nhl season.....
 

I understand your feelings Chrisper....I hated Mike Keenan back in 94 cause he was such a Tyrant, but they won the cup... Ever since then I've resigned to the fact that it doesn't matter if I like the coach or not, but who's coaching philosophy meshes with the Team Roster that particular year. I've seen a lot of coaches come and go since I started watching the Rangers in 1965 and I've learned that it don't mean anything if I like the coach or not as long as they bring out the talent in the team they inherit..
