there's hockey and then there's everything else......

@BroadwayHatsNYR Greentree, the No. 26 pick in the 2024 NHL Draft, has posted 23 goals and 45 points in 34 games for OHL Windsor.

@vzmercogliano And finally, maybe swap Mika with Zegras, that kids needs a new start . And rumor is he wants to play in NY. He a smaller cap hit ,roughly 3 million less, and oozing talent.

[Jonathan silverstein @puckloverrebbe]

@vzmercogliano Also, I'd trade lindgreen. He's injury prone and making way to much, I'd go with Mancini who is much cheaper, bigger and younger and hasn't looked out of place.

[Jonathan silverstein @puckloverrebbe]

@vzmercogliano Tme to trade Mika? He has been trending downward for the last 2 years, he dissappear in the big playoff games amd now he's a liability defensively with his puck control choices. Trade him before his value continues to decline and we are stuck with such an imovable large cap hit

[Jonathan silverstein @puckloverrebbe]

@Ken_Campbell27 Seems obvious

[Jonathan silverstein @puckloverrebbe]

@StatBoy_Steven Why does that surprise you? The same genius thought Dryden Hunt deserved to play over kappo kakko on game 6 of the playoffs last year.

[Jonathan silverstein @puckloverrebbe]

@BlueSeatBlogs Interesting. True Laf has played the most games but I'm willing to bet he doesn't have the most playing time, and I'm also willing to bet the 2 guys outscoring him have played with better players more consistently then Laf has.

[Jonathan silverstein @puckloverrebbe]

@OhRyanMead I can't argue that Lafs play has been unremarkable lately, but it's down right comical to suggest that Blasi, who has brought nothing to the table all year, is a better idea for tonight's game.

[Jonathan silverstein @puckloverrebbe]

@OhRyanMead Gallant has a vezina winner, a Norris winner, a potential hart / art Ross winner and his team has no pulse . He looks clueless on the bench and he keeps sending out vessey on his first line, the same sad predictable pp unit, and Sammy blais on the 2nd unit ... Barry Trotz now!

@based_shesty One drafted 5th first goalie taken that year, has a IIHF Juniors gold and Olympic gold. One drafted 205th with 21 goalies choose before him, has a IIHF World's gold and Olympic gold. Neither has a cup. You could say one met expectations, and one greatly exceeded expectations.

[Jonathan silverstein @puckloverrebbe]

@BR_OpenIce One drafted 5th, has a IIHF Juniors gold and Olympic gold. One drafted 205th has a IIHF World's gold and an Olympic gold. Neither has a cup, but both had a chance. You could sad that one met expectations as a #5 pick and one greatly exceeded his expectations as a 205th pick.

[Jonathan silverstein @puckloverrebbe]

@wyshynski a cup. All in all we expect greatness from a 5th overall pick, we don't expect it from a guys that went 205th with 21 goalies chosen before him.

[Jonathan silverstein @puckloverrebbe]

@wyshynski When you look at where Price was drafted, at # 5 overall in 2005, and when you look at where Hank was drafted, 205 the overall in 2000, then I would say Price lived up to his potential and has been a success, having won both an Olympic and a IIHF juniors gold medal, the cup being

[Jonathan silverstein @puckloverrebbe]

@wyshynski the cup being his only short falls. But considering 21 other goalies were drafted before Lundqvist, I think his overall career is more of a success story. He also has an Olympic gold on a much weaker Olympic team and he won a IIHF world gold against Canada. Yet he too is missing

[Jonathan silverstein @puckloverrebbe]

So, which Ranger gets the "Rick Nash" trophy for most invisible Goal scorer in the playoffs?? Bread? Zbaj? Stone?

[Jonathan silverstein @puckloverrebbe]

Gallant being thoroughly out coached!! Don't get me wrong, players ultimately are responsible to play the game, but he has done nothing to adjust and give his team a chance.

[Jonathan silverstein @puckloverrebbe]

@NYP_Brooksie Penguins wear white
Rangers wear blue
The penguins have 6 pp
But none for the blue...

[Jonathan silverstein @puckloverrebbe]

@DonLagreca Imagine if they played their entire careers In a really week all canada division

[Jonathan silverstein @puckloverrebbe]

@MayerFertig Of course it's the .5%of the British population that decided the election, and not, perhaps, the fact that they all saw through his phony sales pitch and hatred....makes total sense.
