This year will be interesting. With Torts taking his antics out west, there likely wont be 5 players laying on the ice in front of Hank for every shot, I'm curious to see if he maintains those numbers.

the numbers will only improve for hank as he won't have 8 bodies screening him anymore

That's like handing a car dealer enough cash to buy a Ferrari, and then "stealing" a Honda Civic as you leave the dealership.

i personally think he's sick of the rangers

Could be. Time will tell. I'm just glad Torts is gone.

How can they improve switching from a defensive style to offense? See Pens,Isles,Caps,Philly. All tteams who preach offense. Defense will be worst but the team will be fun to watch.

Do you think the Isles will make the playoffs this year? I am a skeptic on who will replace Streit's offensive production.

because over half the goals hank let up the past 3 years were because he was screened or the puck took a deflection off like 3 people in the crease.

if hank sees the puck, hank will most likely stop the puck.

no one, and the isle will miss the playoffs by 32pts this year

I was being sarcastic about Streit. He was a defensive liability. Isles are better off without him. The isles major concern is goaltending. Lubo, Donovan and Hamonic should be able to take over Streits role. JT will let the offense flow.

It's tough to say, when so much of that team is driven by Johnny T. If he goes down for 2 or 3 weeks, the wheels would come off the bus.

Hank is a great butterfly goalie, but he has an extremely weak glove hand. I think he'll be fine, but i think the sliding defenders helped him more than hurt him. It will be interesting to see how he adjusts.

i wouldn't say extremely weak. he's focused on improving that aspect of his game for the past few years and it's gotten good enough. but yes, that is still his weakest aspect.

Well he aint no Nash.

Is Biron still the backup?

I don't hate. I watch a lot of Ranger games, and he is a great goalie. He wins games for you that you have no business winning, and that is all that matters.

Take Miller, please. Is Reinhart ready?

If Rangers miss the playoffs does Hank leave?
