the mom from a Christmas story was Suzanne, Hanrahan's wife and we know what she liked doing

Yup. I'm surprised how many people don't know she was the Mom in that movie

I'm just (frank)ing around. But has Miller really been "mostly good". Not so sure about that.

BTW Why does Housely get a free pass for the Rangers defensive woes? Ruff used to get shat on when he coached the d-men.

If he had been, would anyone here admit it? Not sure about that either.

In all honesty I have been trying to be more positive about him and other players. Hence why I have been taking breaks from this site for stretches.

Miller had a good game the other night. Unfortunately I have been noticing him more in a bad way. Maybe it's because his errors tend to be egregious like the Pickle mentions.

I always acknowledge when hes having a good game. Unfortunately Ranger fans only focus in on the miserable.

Because the team is in a good spot in the standings. Give it time for some postseason misery to make an impact.

Im just curious what changes Peca has made to the offense, especially down the middle that all of a sudden Trocheck is playing like a 1C and Mika is playing like a fringe top 6 C...

Can the Rangers afford to move Zibanejad from center to on all-fours though?

I don't think it's in relation to coaching regarding Mika. Mika has had a serious life change that could be impacting his game. (new child)

I noticed that he has 1 point in his last 7 games. He has fallen off of the PPG pace he had earlier this season. Players are going to get into funks at times. I would rather it be now instead of April.

How spoiled are we? They have had 2 centers at around a PPG nearly the whole season and we act like they have a 1C and no 2C. That is unfair to Mika at this point.

Were 5th in the league in GA, and 5th in the league in goal differential... it hasnt been that bad. Our biggest problem is the lack of scoring, even though were 10th in the league a lot of that scoring comes from a very concentrated spot in the lineup. This lack of scoring depth will hurt us in the playoffs. Im hoping Wennberg can tap into what he provided Seattle last year.

Special teams is infinitely better though. PK tells me more about a D coach than a player skating lackadaisical.

I don't either. I can be a negative (frank) often, but I always try to step back and look at things objectively if I can manage it.

Objectively, if Mika wasn't on the PP, he would be a fringe 3rd line center based on EV points. It is what it is

This is a bit more than just a blip in his production.

Since Jan. 2nd, Mika has played 26 games. 5g, 12a. 1 OT goal (0 goals 5v5), 3 on the powerplay.

But that's just this season. Players can eb and flow unless they're McDavid et al.

I believe Mika will rebound and be a good factor soon. Lest we forget his 2019/2020 campaign? 41 goals in 57 games. Unreal. Imagine if that season didn't get derailed.
