Im not worried about not making the playoffs, and although I would of course rather have home ice advantage, this team actually plays better on the road anyway

if the Rangers miss the playoffs and there is no catostrophic injury to blame, then yeah, Gallant absolutely should be on firing line

but I am almost certain we are finishing 2nd or 3rd in division

I just wanna go into playoffs 100% healthy

we’re starting to get the cushion we had last year now. Lil separation from the bottom of the playoff pack

what do we make of the Sharks-Colorado trade, I remember Merkley and Kaut because we all prepped like crazy for 2018 draft but havent heard much of either since

I just dont get how this team, after 1.5 seasons, is still finding it's identity and basic line combos (as it pertains to where the big guys should play). That much I put on GG. I felt it since GG's first preseason in 2021 when we did jack squat and it didn't look like there was any sense of cohesiveness or strategy. We then proceeded to fall ass backwards into a great record up until the roster was rounded out at the deadline and our magical yet improbable run to the ECF took place. All the while GG is smug, never takes any responsibility for the few decisions he actually does make, and remains stubborn in the ways he constructs the line up (yes he can stubbornly change the lines, it is not an oxymoron).

We have so many highly talented players at important positions so we should be winning games just based on that alone. I'm not certain what + or - GG adds to that baseline. But i have my own hunch.

For now, he is the guy. He's not getting fired this season. I am obviously hoping that I am wrong and want the team to win regardless of my opinion of the coach.

It means we’re getting …(unscramble letters) Atpickr Akne

look, my opinion on that is that there is a 150% chance you guys are playing Tampa in the 1st round of the playoffs no matter what happens the rest of the year and you want him to be 100% when that series starts

I actually think it’s an interesting debate but it is an indication of the commitment to team defence.

Merkley is such a douche that there was a quote from a scout around the time of that draft that said something like "if Tony DeAngelo has the maturity of a 15 year old, Ryan Merkley is 11"

Get all the goals he can so maybe we don't need to add a pick to get rid of him

That's the smooth brain take, Blais will be on the playoff roster.

Gotta think Jones is trade bait if he can’t beat out Harpur.

They had a stat up a few games ago, since Dec 5th (or around there) the Rangers had the 2nd best record. 2nd only to BOS. But hey, let’s get rid of the coach.
