I once heard Joe tell Sam that each off-season John Tavares targets one specific aspect of his game to practice and improve, and the coaching staff helps him out by drilling him on breakup day to capture stats for comparison when Tavares returns for camp in fall. Mika Zibanejad, by contrast, did not play any hockey at all during the summer, if we are to believe what he said when this season began.
@unclefreddieDied Not quite. I loathe the New York Rangers. Drury is a shitty G.M. he was also a marginal player. Let's say he peeked at 12 in Little League.
Watching Panarin's first playoff season with the Rangers years ago showed me he would not win a cup with this team. This team has been a great season long team but has never had the grit to win it all. It happens, but now it's time to move past the core.
While Chris Drury isn't a very favorite of mine, especially the fact that he did too many of the Rentals Only, I can't say I blame him for what he's doing now. We all said that he had to move Jacob Trouba, Barclay Goodrow & Kappo Kakko. He's done that. Regarding the latter, so many people are criticizing Chris Drury for getting rid of Kappo Kakko, when, I think it's a step in the right direction. I like Kappo Kakko & think that he's A Decent Player, he's Not The #2 Overall & is nowhere near it. Therefore, why is he (Chris Drury) getting criticized for moving Kakko, when that's A Good First Step? Let me know what you think
@mariovaccarella6854 Kakko wasn't getting paid...yes he was a big let down, yes he was still a decent player. Got nothing for him. Rangers can't develop players.
@mariovaccarella6854 I was impressed that he didn't have to retain any of Trouba's contract... And impressed that he had the balls to do what he did to Goodrow.
Jets fan here, the Rangers have imploded - and you guys are looking a rebuild. Our team came so freaking close to the same outcome following how Colorado treated us in the playoffs, thank god our management corrected. Im not being sarcastic either, this would suck. Also 18:00 around the video. As someone who holds seasons to Jets games the toxicity towards the team came directly from Blake Wheeler and Pierre Lac Dubois (shock), but more so Wheeler, who was responsible for essentially harassing Patrik Laine out of Winnipeg. This happened long after Trouba was gone, but Wheeler followed, and the culture it seems followed. Now look at the Winnipeg Jets.
First time watching and its great to see some other realistic Ranger fans who want to be honest about this team and its issues. This team as configured , including last two years was a lot of fun to watch however not good enough top win the cup. I live in Florida now and the Panthers went through the same thing and finally m,ade the hard call and changed the team. The Rangers dont seem to make good choices and are terrible at young talent development. Nothing has changed here. Where is the accountability of this team. Isnt that a coaches job?
A new owner is going to fix this? And keep everything else the same? Nope… he has to get rid of drury and hire a gm that can do the job. If that doesn’t happen, then get use to what is happening now. The fish stinks from the head which is drury.
There no doubt has been a shocking fall down the standings for the NY Rangers particularly when compared to last season. Who would have thought that so many things that went right last season would go so badly wrong this season? The NYR last season were Stanley Cup contenders but this season appear more likely to see their first draft pick go top-10 instead.
I think that Chris Kreider has a problem due to the players on the line. Pavel Buchnievich Trade & now Mika Zibanejad having problems is the reason Chris Kreider is not doing as well as he was in previous years. Let me know what you think
Great Video, as usual, guys. I can't even get a win from the team on My Birthday. LOL, if it weren't true. While I know that he's not playing his best this season, I don't understand why they don't want to keep Chris Kreider. Even in A Down Year like this one, he's still scoring at A 30 or so goal pace. In my opinion, other than some of the players, I'd Retool/Rebuild the team around both Artemi Panarin & Chris Kreider. Let me know what you think
didnt we get 2 picks & a new body for Kakko who has been a soft scared bust for us? Getting a bag of pucks for Kakko is a win let alone any kind of package regardless of where he was picked in any draft
Two worthless late round picks and a defenseman who is not good enough to suit up for any team that wants to contend. It was a punishment, not a trade. Drury traded Kakko at the worst possible time, when Drury's leverage was at its lowest, and did so quickly because Kakko criticized the organization. Drury also did not field offers from other interested GMs. Pure incompetence.
Quite literally EVERYONE GOES other than Artemi, Fox and Igor. Rebuild around those 3. The team as currently constructed will stay a bottom feeder in the Metro. Especially when teams like the Devils, Caps, Canes are all playing like mad men now. Tank for Hagens and focus on the future.
Where is the locker room take-charge guy who will not tolerate less than 100% commitment in every game and practice, is revered by rookies, and knows when it is time for a closed locker room door, players only meeting?
Panarin?! You mean the only player that has been consistent for us? Check his stats for this season and last... Artemi is the ONLY player that stays outside of Shesterkin. 39 points in 34 games this season. Artemi isn't going anywhere. Mika on the other hand? I was holding out some kind of hope that he was just in a slump and would eventually turn things around but he has completely checked out. Probably more interested in his music at this point than he is his actual job. I don't think he will ever return to form.
@@Remmy0930 sir none of that mean shit against the weaker teams in the regular season - he literally gets his ass kicked & disappears in the playoffs, ya know where it matters most - Get him tf outta here!!!
@@Remmy0930 i can throw out stats as well - Losses-17 3g 8a 11p -19! - we need guys who dont get pushed around & wilt away in a 7 game series against bigger tougher teams
igor is a very middle of the road goalie who is the worst goalie this year he always falls appart in playoffs ...this year he had his meltdown early....jon quick has done great this yearr he is the #1 goalie
Thanks guys for still putting out content
Mika fucked that first goal up. Can’t wait for rempe to come back. Young rookie has a ton of time to improve

Fair. The Rangers have always had an overrated defense due to being insulated with scoring and goaltending compensating.
@@jfkst1 yup... and we're always so friggin small
That was the rangers best game of the season
Drury won Calder not Conn Smythe. And he won the Cup in his 3rd NHL season and only thanks to Messier...Eric Messier.
He also won the Little League world series as a 12 year old. Chris Drury
@@stephenlucas5130 he also won your heart

Yes -- We go live every Monday, and then we upload the episode to the channel afterwards
@libertybluepodcast6405 got it. Great analysis by you guys I just don't need to listen twice :)

@acoustickelly550 correct... and the power play doesn't help when the refs are not calling as much during the playoffs ...

@@unclefreddieDied Im sure they do but its a coaches job to make it work and it obviously isnt
I encourage everyone to stop supporting this franchise until Dolan sells. Money talks.
A new owner is going to fix this? And keep everything else the same? Nope… he has to get rid of drury and hire a gm that can do the job. If that doesn’t happen, then get use to what is happening now. The fish stinks from the head which is drury.
@@stevelegs The head is Dolan, it always has been. Drury should have been let go 2 years ago. He's one of many problems but it starts with Dolan.

93 is not a #1 center
He's not a #2 center either. Or a #3 or #4 center.
Why sell Kakko so cheap. Pls someone throw Drury OUT!

Only 4 teams in the entire league have less points than the Rangers at this point.
Seaon on the ropes😂 its over lol were in the haggens sweep states
Pink playing well for jets.
Not much of a singer though!
The solutions are fire drury, the new gm hires a new coach, and goes to work on the culture and the roster.
The Rangers were cursed the second they hung that nonsensical "Regular Season Champions" banner at MSG.
So effin cringey.
@@mjbrands we are cursed!!!
If you took the Fla Panthers team and coaches.... and put them in a Rangers uniform... they would still suck!

I agree the D aren't that good especially Fox.

Even when the effort is there they're not good enough.
