Jan Levine: Game 6: Rangers face Buffalo, Filip Chytil out 4-6 weeks with UBI Team in need of a win.

Maybe I am missing something but Smith has been absolutely fine. I would do the same pairings as last game.

I agree, but we're rational outside observers. Who knows why they make the decisions they do?

Probably Jimbo tweeting the Rangers official account about how much he hates Smith.

Brett Howden really really needs to step up, this is his time, if he's got any future with this team these 18-20 games for him are pivotal

If Howden is getsting more icetime in place of Chytil, he'd better put some lead in his pockets. Guy can't take a check and remain upright.

The spot is is to lose now. At least he is over 50% on face offs.

Remember Panarin shooting from that left side would either score or at least get it on net. He has missed the net by like 4' now on multiple occasions.

its making me nuts, there have been no exaggeration about 20 times this year so far where either Panarin or Zibinajed have absolutely flubbed something they guaranteed would have scored on last season

HUGE NO to Brian Boyle --- don't need another veteran that can't play anymore on the team. Isn't Jack Johnson enough?

Yup, Boyle is not going to turn this team around. Top 6 needs to get going, could care less about bringing back players.

I never know where you pull your video clips from, you never use youtube

I have tried to watch the Rangers to get a feel for Lafreniere, but hes largely been invisible for the parts I have watched. .. Can i get a honest assessment fantasy wise from a Ranger fan? Has he shown anything worthy of keeping him...Non Keeper Money League. .

Honestly, I have not been a fantasy owner for years, so my assessment may not be in line with running a team, but...
Lafreniere took all of about one period to adjust to the league in terms of just about everything EXCEPT scoring. He is doing all the little things well. He is reading the defensive side well. He's doing everything to make the coach keep putting him out there. He looks comfortable and I think the scoring is going to come. Right now the problem is that the guys he's playing with are ALL being kept off the scoresheet!! It's a team game and so far our team hasn't been good enough.
Hope this helps!

Hey, I was being honest. I'd wager I haven't been in a hockey pool since you were a freshman in high school!! (now get off my lawn!!)

Buch is a new man

If Kreider would have missed that one.
