Jan Levine: Captain not named, Nils likely not in lineup Wed, Kravtsov sent to Hartford A big day in Rangers news

Ok, perhaps you're right, but if you think Gallant has not noticed every Time Gauthier comes off the wing with the puck he goes directly to the net, no one on the team did that save Krieder a few times. It's the way he played and he likes whst he sees. Look I hope krastov comes back and scores 30 goals this year.

I totally agree with this, it's gonna be interesting to see how long the Gauthier experiment goes on. But it still seems like the guy has absolute hands of stone.

the only word that comes to mind is sike

Do you mean “psyche”?

No. Sike, as in “I tricked you”

Not hitting the panic button…..

Kravstov will be in the line up this year but we knew the big bodies would be facing Wilson.

Why is there a rule in the fantasy league that your goalies have to play 3 games or all of their stats are lost

Its always like that, its the standard. In my league I have it set to 4 starts per week.

I tried inviting you via email 3-4 times, you never received any?

Unfortunately it probably wouldn't have mattered anyway since it would have had us stuck at 9 teams.

Yeah but I directly email invited some people from Yahoo. Some worked and some possibly didn't, I'm not sure.

I'm going to send you a PM test. I'm not sure they're working for me.

I hope they told Kravstov that this is temporay because they risk losing him for good playing silly games like this. Kravstov is super talented and on the verge of breaking out. If he goes back to the KHL he is likely gone for good this time.

Krav also needs to get his head in the game. When the team held the team bonding day and he didnt go, I feel stuff like that alienates a person.

I believe the team bonding took place in Rhode Island. Kravtsov was back in NYC and not traveling with the team., supposedly getting treatment on his lower body injury.

I thought Zac Jones was better than Lundqvist in the pre season. Sorry to see him and Kravtsov down in Hartford. Understand why, but, jobs should be won on the ice and not by what your pedigree is.

In keeping with Eks theme, here are some Ranger-centric predictions:

1) Kincaid or Wall will play more games for the Rangers this season than Georgi

2) Zac Jones will appear in more than 50 NHL games

3) Kakko and LaFranchise will both play well and exceed 50 points

4) Mika will win just over 50% of his face offs, but overall this will still be a problem for the team

5) Rangers will make the playoffs and will be one of the hottest teams in the league in the last month of the regular season. They will be one of the teams that nobody wants to play in the first round.

6) The Islanders may make the playoffs, but will be one of the last teams to qualify in the last few games of the year. Devils will completely miss.

7) Despite being tougher to play against, the Rangers will NOT be in the top 5 in the NHL in fights this season.

I'd be surprised if Lundkvist doesnt play the home opener vs Dallas on Thursday, but I did notice Tinordi seemed to play a lot in pre-season and Gallant may feel more comfortable with him

all the things that used to drive Rangers social media nuts about David Quinn seem to be tripled so far under Gallant and its actually kinda spectacular LOL

I’m just so sick of hearing about Tom Wilson. It’s hockey!
That said, Gallant definitely trying to set a tone game 1, rather than this stupid “revenge” game that is fan and media driven.
And I’m cool with Gallant throwing a lineup like this out there. Lundkvist is going to be a mainstay here. He’ll be fine. Better not piss off Kravstov though. This kid earned a shot and because of roster rules he gets sent down. Hope it’s short lived

well I dont know if its only fan driven and media driven considering they fired 3 high profile men in the organization over it LOL

I dont think Tinordi has looked that bad at all, he's looked better than Miller

I wasn't the biggest fan initially but it's not like Jack Johnson is out there. He doesn't look like a liability at all, just no offensive flash.

I was on ESPN looking at their predictions

Messier has the Rangers winning the division

John Torterella has Panarin winning the Hart trophy

No bias with them at all
