Hacked by the Russkies.

From Elliotte Friedman's 31 Thoughts column today:
https://www.sportsnet.ca/...istening-islanders-pitch/

1. Rikard Gronborg, who led Sweden to gold at the World Championships, will have interest. He’s expressed a desire to move back to North America, where he played at NCAA St. Cloud State. Buffalo, Dallas and the Rangers all make sense as a possibility for him.

2. David Quinn on why he took the coaching job:
"I’m 52 years old, and I knew the window would close eventually. Maybe it might be in three years, but it goes by fast and people stop calling. I have a comfort level with the organization. I wasn’t looking [to] leave Boston University and I told Chris Drury that. During the season, I talk to him two to three times per week. The more we talked about this (recently), the more we aligned with the process and how we envisioned a team being coached. It’s the Original Six, New York City and the Rangers. What else do you need."

3. There are two ways to go in the NCAA: 1) Load your team with 22- to 23-year-olds (or older), or 2) Go younger, with teenagers and players in their early 20s. Quinn’s best teams were the latter. He went younger, which is what the Rangers are trying to do now. He has a good reputation for connecting to young players, which isn’t always easy for someone 30 to 35 years older.

“Maybe I’m just incredibly immature,” he joked. “You try to make players feel like you care for them, create a trust factor. I’m fortunate; it comes more naturally for me. We’ve had several players leave [Boston University] right to the NHL. We saw ourselves as an AHL-style team, creating that path for our players.”

He said he knows seven or eight Rangers and plans to meet with as many as possible. Three of his most important projects are a Swede (Lias Andersson), a Russian (Pavel Buchnevich) and a Czech (Filip Chytil). Will he go see them this summer?

“If I have to go to Guam, I will go to Guam.”

So who takes the place of Miller and Nash as the rangers playoff whipping boy ? Hayes 34 Gp 10 pts ?

Hey boys, been a long time. Figured I would chime in on the Quinn hire. Like the hire, not a retread and has a good resume with young kids. Seems motivated and prepared to make the jump to the NHL Coaching ranks, best of luck David.

Ye I want to say its the Caps time and they win in 5 but Vegas has surprised us all every step of the way.


How spoiled are those fans gonna be? The (frank)ing Finals in their first year? Madone.

I caught some of the Memorial Cup action last night and I gotta say Hajek looks REALLY GOOD. His team made the final, he's got a goal and two assists in 4 games in the tournament and defensively he looks rock solid.

This kid is the real deal.

this mock draft has Bouchard dropping to us at #9, seems cray

like I said moments after the trade was done in February: "he could be a top pairing guy in 3-4 years!"

Seems to me that from 4th to 9th anyone could go anywhere in that 6 picks range. So many different rankings among them all. With the BU connection I’m sticking to them ending up with Tkachuk, wether via trading up or falling to them at 9. Trading up seems more likely tho
