Rangers are digging themselves an impossibly deep hole here.

LOL ok so you quote a bunch of clueless internet message board users. I can go to multiple message boards and find people who think they would make a better GM/coach than people who do it professionally but it doesn't make it remotely true. People who spend most of their days browsing the internet seem to think that reddit/twitter/etc. represent the majority when in fact it is the minority... by a wide margin.

Viewers who go to fangraphs.

Thanks for posting. Love that guy, couldn't agree more with him.

Honestly I'd be surprised if Gurley even makes the trip to BC.

I wouldn't expect that to last much longer

Jamie Thomas you are a boob

Tanev-Copp-Lowry? Not gonna happen. Top 9 looks about right though.

Anyone saying Hellebuyck can't be blamed for letting in five goals is just being willfully ignorant. He absolutely got hung out to dry a few times but he simply had to be better if he wants to make the team. I don't get why some people want to give young guys a pass for every mistake. The team is in the business of winning games, not coddling kids. If a player isn't yet good enough to play in the NHL night after night, then he should be in the AHL.

McDavid is ridiculous. He looks like the guy in beer league who plays with all his buddies in the shitty division even though he should be at the top. Just in a class of his own.

Why do we even employ coaches if it's that easy?

Penton also said Flanders will be returning kickoffs so that probably indicates McDuffie is not in the lineup

I don't see how Gurley could be in the lineup with zero days of practice but I guess we'll see

Yeah, I mean it definitely looks like it was him but that video is not 100% conclusive. As far as the reward goes, who would they give the reward to? It's not clear that there was any one person who ID'd him.

It's been covered already but to sum up, tonight's lines: Patrik Laine – Bryan Little – Joel Armia Kyle Connor – Mathieu Perreault – Alexander Burmistrov Brandon Tanev – Adam Lowry – Chris Thorburn Chase De Leo – Andrew Copp – Anthony Peluso Josh Morrissey – Dustin Byfuglien Ben Chiarot – Tyler Myers Mark Stuart – Paul Postma Connor Hellebuyck The Lowry line has a very good chance of being our 4th line this year. However I am intrigued by the Copp line. There's a reason they're taking a long look at De Leo.

I saw that video and to me it's not conclusive that it was him. It really looks like it but it also looks like it may have come from someone in front of him. And what's more, is that even the same beer that landed on the turf... we don't see that part. This beer may have also been thrown but landed short of the wall. We can't tell from the video. I hope the police have access to better footage.

so it's settled. Noeller is growing a beard.

Why is he worse?

I've seen the cups vs cans argument a few times now and it doesn't really make any sense to me. He could easily have had a cup of beer and a can. Seems like the weakest possible defence.

Today's roster: FORWARDS Joel Armia Alexander Burmistrov Kyle Connor Andrew Copp Chase De Leo Patrik Laine Bryan Little Adam Lowry Anthony Peluso Mathieu Perreault Brandon Tanev Chris Thorburn DEFENCE Dustin Byfuglien Ben Chiarot Josh Morrissey Tyler Myers Paul Postma Mark Stuart GOALTENDERS Connor Hellebuyck Michael Hutchinson Possible lines (by me): Laine - Little - Armia Connor - Perreault - Burmi De Leo - Lowry - Thorburn Tanev - Copp - Peluso Chiarot - Buff Morrissey - Myers Stuart - Postma

I'm not a huge fan of either Chiarot or Stuart but what has Morrissey done to earn a spot? Likewise with Copp vs Lowry. Has Copp been so much better than Lowry that you keep him up on a 2-way deal instead of Lowry on a 1-way? Seems to me they've been pretty even. I think you're overreacting. Declaring the team to be in contention for the next first overall pick because of some 50/50 decisions on bottom-of-the-roster spots. These decisions aren't going to determine the success of the team.

Is Melchiori an option? He is a solid stay-at-home defenceman, might fit in well as the #7 guy or on the third pairing.

No chance he's in the lineup this week but maybe next week. Gurley - Dressler - Smith - Denmark - Kohlert **** that looks like a pretty damn good lineup to me

He's 28 and hasn't exactly lit up the CFL thus far. I doubt the NFL is even on the radar anymore.

I'm tired of the Bombers taking so long to make these moves. This should have been done YESTERDAY.
