Who is worse right now, Kakko or Zib?

The thing is we know Zib is a 2g 2a night away from uncorking the thunder.

Were not getting anything like that from Kakko.

ha, nah, penalty killing, faceoffs, leadership

Kakko, man, just nothing

Yeah, I get it, but damn Zib looks so off.

Vesey seems to score in bunches. I think we see a good week from him.

I know Zib can be a slow starter, but he usually still looks good, I'm not seeing it right now. He looks lost offensively.

Yeah, gonna be a fun weekend to watch hockey!

His stat line is generally gooseeggs across the board every single game. What’s so concerning is he’s never looked this bad, now into his fifth season. We always saw glimpses the years prior, this year nada

The funny thing is Zib has 10 points in 15 games (2g 8a) and were here complaining about him being off his game.

If we had that kind of production from Kakko we would all be staining the ceilings.

Kakko. zib is bad, but Kakko is putrid. Zib had a shot attempt to go off the post on Saturday.

Which makes no sense to me, we go 6 days without a game, now we have to play 3 in 4 days. Was it not possible for the NHL to stick one of those games into that 6 game break?

That was the Rangers bye week, so no it would go against collectively bargained rules.

But my understanding is the Rangers bye week is in January or February. This week was a outlier.

I was just thrilled Vesey scored twice and got the winner. Not the most talented dude, but always works hard and never complains.

well the good thing is our opponents are all in the same boat, all these teams have 3 in 4 days

You just asked for the NHL to use rational logic and common sense.
It's gameday for (frank)'s sake!! Get your head on straight!!!

This is what I read, as well. Makes zero sense.

Wait, really? I'm not being a Richard. I legit thought that was their bye week.

I'm fine with that early week off. Considering the early injuries and some other players a little banged up

For 800k, tough to be that kind of deal. Via NSTT, Kakko's only contribution on Saturday were 3 takeaways and 2 giveaways. No shot attempts, hits, rebound chances, rebound pass attempts etc.

Rangers don't play from January 28th until February 5th

Yes, why are there NO games at all tomorrow? A Tuesday in the NHL without one game?

The whole league schedule as a whole stinks. Every Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday there's like 10-12 games, and like 1-3 on the other nights. Really annoying.

That I did notice, you'd think they'd have 1 game where they don't have to compete with NCAA or NFL football. NHL is such a bad league.
