2016-2017 nhl season.....

[dales529]

I believe we can take the next game no problem as long as we have a 4 goal lead with 1:00 to play. OR Hank gets a shutout and we score at least 2.
Seriously we have outplayed them and had the lead most of the series as Duff pointed out. There are plenty of positives to build off of. Look at what the Oilers did last night 7-1 after a devastating loss.

Solid Game 6 and we have them on the run for Game 7.

Also still think the Caps are coming back all the way and ousting the Pens. Fluery cant keep it up.

Last: AV benching anyone has to stop, sitting Lindberg and Brady late in games has backfired TWICE. This is the team you have , live and die with what does work, rolling all 4 lines and 6 D men for the WHOLE GAME

Thinking Positive!!!

agreed on the 4th line{and a hard working line} and the 6 D.that 4th line has been a real positive all season.

[Duffman]

Wow. Didn't see that coming. Thought for sure they'd push it to game 7.

Pulling for my man Lucic now.

[bunker dunker]

thank God thats over!!!!!!! lets hope the ranger organization can remove their heads from there arse and ice a team that will at least play for 60 minutes and
at least try to play as a team.
ps
thanks Duff for another great nhl{ranger}thread.see you guys next season.

I refrained from posting here this post season, not to jinx the Blueshirts. Well that worked out real well

I've just got one thing to say: Rick Nash - SEE 'YA . . . .

Hoping for some major changes this summer starting with AV who thinks the team was well prepared.... HE MUST BE ON DRUGS TO SAY THAT!! Time to start moving the "core" players out because they were the big problem in the playoffs and also the last few months of the regular season....

Asst Coach Scott Arniel better be on that bus heading out of town since they're always praising him for "orchestrating" the worst power play in the entire league!! embarrassing to watch!!!

And yes, definitely THANK YOU Duff for getting this thread going each season, and always a pleasure to chat with BD, Dales and Ice Cream Bill even when the Rangers SUCK!!! hahaha Next year we'd love Chrisper and Hartattack to join in some more along with all you guys lurking .... don't be bashful!!

PS: got out this morning on a friend's boat and got a nice 25# bass right away with a white mojo maybe 2 miles out from Long Branch... and heard of a few 40lb bass being caught while we were out there, so the nice fish are coming... no birds, no bunker and nothing showing on the screen but they were there.

Ditto the Duff great thread again! Nice to have a place to get the demons out!

Split: After AV (cant develop youth) and Scott Arniel (Cant design a PP) you can add:
Kevin Hayes experiment should be over
Derek Stepan a 3rd line center who cant win face offs and plays like he is 40
Krieder: Huge Talent but NO heart. He played one period (last night 3rd) in 12 games. Where was that effort all the other games and will never forgive him for Karlsons goal that made it 3-1 last nite.
Stall and Girardi (one needs to be bought out)
Nash (actually still think he is a keeper due to his 2 way effort but not at that salary

Good thing I guess is NO devils in any of this
Go Oilers

[Duffman]

Well so much for the Oilers!!!!

Ducks Preds Pens Sens......this Cup series doesn't excite me at all.
