Rangers Fall To Bolts At The Garden | New York Rangers

The Lightning scored three fast goals in the first period against Jonathan Quick and that would be enough in the 5-1 New York loss to Tampa Bay. Mika Zibanejad scored the Rangers lone goal on the power play.

Rangers Fall To Bolts At The Garden | New York Rangers

  2. No surprise. Weak team can't be competitive against strong one. Drury ruined the team.

    Please, discuss my plan about changes and development of the team. What we have now: 1)this team is no more a contender 2)there are some long and mid term big contracts of aged players 3)lack of high draft picks and top prospects 4)a group of good young players.

    Having all this now Rangers should develop this way:

    1. Develop all young players who are on the roster. First of all Laf, Cuylle, Rempe, Laba and Roobroeck – this group of grit players is the only chance to build the Cup winning team within this decade. They should play as much as they can. There are 3 years ahead until Zibanejad and JT Miller can be traded or bought out. Perfect time to develop youth and get top draft picks

    2. Mika and Chris should play in bottom lines in their positions. They are very good in defensive game. Kreider should end his career in New York. No trade. Vincent should be traded. He is an elite 3rd line center who is still in his prime. Every contender will be happy to get him. Then Vincent gets a chance to win the Cup and Rangers get a very good compensation – Win/Win. If Artemiy is good next season, he should be offered a several years contract with 6-7 million salary cap. He will help to develop young players.

    3. If young players get maximum ice, results will fall down and Rangers will get high draft picks which will be later traded for ready to win players when the core group will be developed and their average age will be around 28(prime age for males).

    4. It is necessary to create a line for Alexis and appoint him as a captain. If all this will be done I'm sure that in 4-5 years we will have a team that really can win the Cup.

    P.S. Fire Drury!

  11. Correct me if I'm wrong don't the Rangers have a hugely expensive first line that is supposedly the envy of most teams in the league.I know they have one I just can't find it.
    With the exception of Panarin, who can't do it on his own the rest are like the crew of the Mary Celeste, inexplicably missing !!!!!!
