Chuck F**k marry rangers edition
Hey guys,
Long term contract one, bridge one, cut one: Rooney, Lemeuix, Blackwell
Also an interesting note that I’d love your thoughts on - everyone keeps saying we can’t afford to lose regulation games early in a short season, but what about the reverse. if the rangers take a little while to get hot, with the schedule being all division opponents, isn’t making up ground in the standings at the end way more likely than any other season? April also includes four straight games against the devils
5 STAR ?: Vets laying down on Quinn?
Found the podcast on The Athletic, I’m here to stay.
I’m not in the Fire DQ camp, but if Mika and Kreider stay ice cold while Strome remains allergic to goals and Buch comes around once a month, could a case be made that, despite developing the kids, he’s “lost the room” as far as the vets go?
First time, long time...
I’ve actually grown up a 98.7 ESPN guy but love the WFAN talk on the pod and appreciate what they do over there as well.
Also don’t sweat the pronunciation comments Ryan, it’s refreshing to hear people who know hockey be able to be goofy as well as intelligent and I think this pod nails it. If you cared about pronunciations you’d be trying to be something you’re not. This is an awesome podcast, keep up the good work!
Here’s my question:
Post-drama (as Greg correctly explained Tony’s team is just waiting for the pot to stop boiling over) would any team interested in TDA benefit from playing Tony as a winger?
Similar to Dustin Byfuglien’s start in Chicago (offensively gifted bigger body who’s defensive game will only mature when he wants to take on the responsibility.)
Until that time comes, should a team interested in TDA add him into the fold as a winger first and take the flyer on him developing into the more valued 2-way defenseman position?
