Jan Levine: Rangers face Habs at MSG, Steven McDonald Award given tonight Vesey on top line, Roslovic scratched

I am over the Zib and Kreider hate now. The rangers are having one of their best seasons in franchise history, Kreider is still on pace for over 70 points and it’s all just negative all the time. As long as they bring it in the playoffs is all that matters. We all wanted a 4 line team, we have one now. It’s nice others can pick up the slack when one line isn’t going.

I agree. Zib is not having a great year, and we are still the top team in the league with 5 games remaining. That says something.

They’re producing, and I’ve never commented negatively on either one of them. Kreider is one of my all time favorite Rangers. With that being said, playoff hockey is different and they’re going to have to find another level 5v5. I thought Roslovic would bring a little more than he has, same with Wennberg. I like giving Kakko another shot on the line with them 5v5 bc he’s playing with some confidence now, 5 pts his last 5 games. Hopefully he can help that line out 5v5.

Jan you forgot Wheeler with Zib and CK20 also.

Well for all those that dont want to worry about Zibby not producing because we are having a great season, I say big deal, the real season starts in the playoffs and if Mika doesnt produce, we will have a hard time advancing. If the true first line of Panarin and the 3rd and 4th lines chip in along with the PP we might just advance, we will soon see.

Thanks, will add in, good call out. Mea culpa.

Trocheck has been great all year no doubt, but I'd like to see Quick get the award. To change his game and bounce back at his age is not an easy feat. He was essentially deemed "done" by most and ended up carrying this team as the defacto starter when Igor was going through a rough patch.

Because I have thoughts and opinions, plus I don't feel like doing two of these tomorrow.





Jack Roslovic is working out, eh? Also the Mika Zibanejad we saw in March was the exception, not the rule.

Trocheck or Quick for the award!

Lets dominate and leave no doubt about the game right from the puck drop!


LETS GO RANGERS!

Mika’s and Krieder’s stat lines 5x5 and Pp are almost identical- why the pass for Krieder?

One of them isn't currently 26 points behind the pace they set last year.

I'll let you guess which one it is.

Ooo didn’t think about trocheck for that. Nice

Game score average up to this point:

Kreider: 1.01
Zibanejad: 0.85

It's almost like the eye test, counting stats, and analytics match...

Great

Sure was. Too bad. It would've been one of the goals of the year.

I can't believe we haven't gotten one by Primeau yet

Finally

I always think Wennberg doesn’t have a stick in his hand
