Jan Levine: Rangers kick off three game homestand vs. Wild and Ryan Reaves Plus Gallant's comment on Goodrow

Thanks for the blog Jan. Was going bring up Gallant's comments, didn't want part of the blog to have nuclear meltdown though. Hope the Rangers win. Fully expecting for both Zucc and Reaves to get on the score sheet, because why not right?

Did we not discuss Blake wheeler rupturing a testicle on a slap shot?

That's simply what former Rangers do.

Btw, from last blog:

I try not to dismiss the analytics out of hand, because I don't fully understand them. But, for Trocheck...
0.75ppg, 56% on draws, 95 hits, 225 shots, 10% shooting and 7 more give than take aways.
I would not call that terrible.

I didn't call Trochek terrible. In my opinion, he's fine. Not awful, not great.

I wasn't trying to say YOU called Tro terrible, but the info on the chart you posted certainly seemed to amount to that according to the charts and rankings.
I agree he's got room to improve, but I'm happy we have someone who is primarily a north-south, shoot first, hard-nosed type. Not to mention he wins draws!

I forget what game it was where Kakko made that brutal turnover at the red line... he wasn't benched, and ended up with the game winner. Not saying I agree with GG promoting Gooddrow because that was brutal, and Kravs did nothing to warrant being off that line, but perhaps GG is starting to allow more mistakes and give players an opportunity to redeem themselves like Kakko did.

Eklund says Rangers laser focused on Patrick Kane. That means it's not happening.

He makes no mention on how his sources think that the numbers would work on an extension so... yea

Very interesting conversation with Ryan Reaves, who said the #NYR’s notion that he asked for a trade is “a half truth and a half lie.” The trade with Minnesota had been in the works before he was aware.

Agreed that communication could’ve been better.

cool cool cool

that Goodrow play was one of worst plays I have ever seen

there was a giveaway by Shattenkirk in Vancouver like 4 years ago when he was here, may have been by Motte which I thought was the worst, but Goodrow now worst I have ever seen

the fact that it was to Hughes really gave the turnover that extra umph

usually from being pressured one way or the other though, that thing by Goodrow was a different level

everyone's gonna make a gross turnover here and there, and Goodrow has been mostly fine. But jeeze. That was brutal

Seems like an organizational issue. Big if true.
