I don’t care that they aren’t playing, and they should keep getting paid. I care that more players aren’t getting paid as much because Arizona is cheating the system. That’s a handful of extra contracts, and a bunch of raises for players in Arizona just so they hit the cap floor.

They're getting mad at me there. Because Oungey got mad Chychrun was getting paid to sit in the press box and players should play. I'd like to hear their thoughts on the cap being good or bad (it isn't).

Perhaps this humbling reminder of the total irrelevance of their team in the broader sports world context will be the spark that convinces Rangers fans to reconsider their smug attitudes toward smaller market franchises, ushering in a new era of harmony and mutual respect

I think Briere was running the Rangers ECHL team when Drury took over?

Drury has been up and down but he was an advisor to Gorton and the Hartford GM before taking over and it's worked out. Then again, Gorton built the team.

We constantly bitch about the old boys club but it's good to see some new guys (even if they're familiar faces) step in.

If I was a Flyers fan I'd be cautiously optimistic?

That's an interesting thought exercise--how many individual players in the league would you trade the Bedard pick for, the trade is one for one, if you had it? Obviously you would trade it for McDavid in a heartbeat. Obviously you wouldn't trade it for Crosby or Ovi, as much as Marketing would love it in the short term. But Bedard isn't a certain thing whereas established stars are, so... how low would you go? Would you trade the Bedard pick for, say, Pastrnak? Fox? Kasperi Kapanen?

Absolutely not. I can't think of a player id trade Fox for, known or unknown. He's that drat good.

I’m begging the refs to call blatantly obvious penalties instead of calling them at random. The Sabres outplayed the Rangers for 90% of the game but lost due to a penalty call in OT when the refs called almost nothing the entire game. Early in the game, JJ Peterka was hit in the face by a high stick six feet in front of a ref who did nothing. Then later they called a non-existent hooking on Girgensens. loving embarrassing league.

Edit: yes I am mad that my team played an incredible, complete game and lost because of some bullshit!!!

We’re we watching the same game? I thought it was pretty even and both teams played well.

Anecdotal, I know, but the Rangers fan sitting next to me at the game would say a variation of "I can't believe it, the refs usually hate us!", every time the Rangers would get away with a blatant penalty. He said it at least 5 times. Also said "Wow, the refs really hate Buffalo!" a few times.

They're not wrong! But it was a pretty fun game to watch last night. Buffalo attack like crazy and the Rangers finally learned to play some defense again. The third period was back and forth.

Weren't Rangers fans down on Chytil like, as recently as last season? Or am I thinking of another bozo

He’s gotten labeled as injury prone (so was Mika). and he was a little streaky but he caught fire in the playoffs last year and has been drat good this season. Needs to be a little more consistent but hes still young (which is crazy considering hes been in the league for 5 years).

Easily Gorton’s best pick during his tenure.

Nope. He's flashed some serious skill but just hasn't been consistent. He will get there.

It's funny because Chytil is only 23 and is going on his 5th year and 300games and only now is rounding into form.

When we say "get there" what do we mean? He was projected as a superstar for a while before he played on the Rangers and it's hard to think of anyone who turned their career around to that degree. I don't think people are doubting that he could turn in to a productive player but meeting his potential seems off the table. They're not going to give up on him in the sense of waiving him or trading him for a 5th rounder but when's the next time they give him an extended shot on the first powerplay?

Predeaft hype is what it is. What I meant was he's is not what he is right now. He's got a ton of room to grow. Not to superstar status (which is disappointing) but I think he will be a very good first liner eventually.

I think you could more simply call it frustration, but sure, write that fanfic.

I said this in the GTD but Goodrow definitely got away with an elbow on Ovie that the refs missed but the reaction to that was loving ridiculous and then Wilson was the icing on the cake.

I'm glad the Rangers didn't really take the bait.
