Jimbo waiting for the waiver claim news to come out at 12

Me personally:

ADA > DQ

I am done with this coach. He is minor league
- Greschnergy#4

Part of being a coach in the professional leagues is being able to handle your players personalities, it's a lot easier in college to rule with an iron fist. I personally think this team would be better without DQ at the helm. Eventually how bad this team is compared to where they should be has to fall on someone and this team comes out flat all the time, has no chemistry, and can't handle even the slightest bit of adversity and to me all that stuff comes from the top down but ADA will provide DQ a scapegoat so the pressure won't be on him nearly as much as it deserves to be. ADA hasn't played well, but then again other than Miller and Blackwell no one really has.

Adam Fox is the truth
- picklerick

he's the number reason why PP1 always is out there for like 90 seconds, the opposing team never clears it out so the Rangers never change on the fly to get PP2 out there

if anyone is watching this the first games and believe that Adam Fox is the reason they never actually score on the PP you out yo damn mind

Does the waiver process start or end at noon? Not going to be very productive at work until some news breaks.

ADAM FOX

I completely disagree, Adam Fox is the best defenseman I have seen since Brian Leetch at keeping the puck inn the offensive zone
- jimbro83

Fox should have at least 3-4 assists on the PP if the other 4 can put the puck in the net off his nice passes

Buch! although the last game it looked like someone forgot to sharpen his skates

I would honestly take Zib just not falling down trying to take a one timer at this point

Fox has been great.
LAF although not seen on the scoreboard has been solid.
Kakko has clearly playing much better.
Buch has been solid.
Panarin’s off but still scoring at a ppg clip.

There are a couple good spots.

What's funny is the one PP goal Zib scored off of Fox's pass, he fanned on it and went in.

he's playing drunk like Brophy

I'd take Zib or Panarin hitting the net on the 1 timer

I don’t understand all the haters here. Yes ADA is a bit of trouble... so are most players in NFL and certainly in NBA. Yes he’s a blogger ...so are most athletes except NHLers. But bottom line IS the guy has a world of talent!!!

Would anyone sit the 4th leading scorer defenseman over a penalty late in a game that is totally lost? No

Would another coach then also sit him an additional game? No

Would any coach switch a player to another position in practices leading up to the season then reverse himself within the first 5 minutes of a game? No

Would another coach alienate a truly talented player like ADA and provide huge playing minutes to softies like Howden? No

Did ANY of you see the highlights of Vegas and Blues players fighting before the season started.... and consequences were none.

This is hockey...passionate sport!

Would much prefer ADAs reaction to losing than Howden or Kakko that seem to just be cruising without a care !

This is pro sports and “feelings” don’t matter

QUINN IS AN IDIOT AND LOST MY RESPECT WHEN HE SWITCHED FOX TO #1 PP AWAY FROM ADA... THEY ARE NOT CLOSE IN SKILL....QUINN PLAYS FAVS ....AND THIS IS PRO SPORTS NOT COLLEGE GOODY GOODY TIME

Notwithstanding how bad he has been, I rather have Zib on the left dot than Panarin. I actually think he has the better shot although both great. I would try Panarin on the point opposite Fox and Krieder back in the slot and Buch/kakko on the right dot

haha, I didnt expect we'd get Adam Fox hate around here

Was only a matter of time for the outliers to start chiming in.

ADAM FOX

We need people who can drive the play 5 on 5 and Fox has 5 points, 4 of them on the power play. If you're waiving a guy that had 12 even strength goals as a D man last year and was T3 in even strength points than Fox better be scoring at a far better clip even strength.

I was with you most of the way- but you lost most of your credibility with this statement

- newenglandpuck

I mean, have you SEEN the opportunities the forwards have been blowing this year?

you are blaming this on Fox?

How is Tony D doing this year in the 5 on 5 points department? I'm guessing really bad.

Holy poop.
What'd I miss

LAF-He's coming along, but let's be honest we all expected more thus far from him
Kakko-He's playing better, but he's still not the dominant player we saw at the world championships his draft year
Buch-Solid, I'd hope so he's been in the league long enough that his inconsistencies from the past few years should be gone or we need to move on
Panarin-Can't hit the net on a PP and while he's a PPG guy he certainly doesn't drive the play like he did last year

Fox-As mentioned in a previous comment if you're going to waive a guy who had 12 even strength goals as a defensemen and was T3 in even strength scoring for defensemen then Fox NEEDS to step up his 5 on 5 production which is at 1 point thus far this season.

It's amazing how some of you watch certain players through your rose colored glasses and make it seem like this team is playing well.

I don't even understand how Adam Fox is the one getting the short end of the stick because of Tony D drama...

I mean, you are trying to convince us to be disappointed in the play so far of Adam Fox
