Jan Levine: Rangers rebound after poor performance to defeat Red Wings 4-1 at MSG Zib dents scoresheet

HA! Derek Lalonde not doing Drury any favors.

Better game from Mika, but as Jan said, still not perfect. Still need to see a PP snipe from the hash. When was the last time that happened?

One thing nobody has mentioned...or at least that I have seen...is that Mika is on fire in the dot so far. Winning faceoffs has always been something he needed to improve on.

He was at 52.3 in 2021-22, 49.5 in 2022-23 and 49.3 last year. Not like it was a major weakness, maybe in key spots, but overall, still solid, despite slight decline. But agree, he has been great so far in three games this season.

Someone take this old idiots phone away. Holy cow.

Small sample but this is better 5v5 play and the defense isnt fully there yet

Agreed this is a positive but also agree it's a very small sample size that shouldn't be weighed too heavily.

Carolina looks elite on this chart and they played 1 game and lost 4-1

He's off his rocker, for certain. Perhaps the happy pills aren't working any longer.

Back in the 80’s and 90’s (when he was in his 70’s) he used to regularly attack the Rangers

He used to also write for Hockey Digest back in those days and always subscribed to the theory of “say something outlandish so it grabs the readers attention” school of journalism

I imagine he wakes up in cold sweats every night thinking the Soviets are coming for him

In his brain, clearly the Rangers are the Soviets of the 80s.
Rangers are apparently staging cold war armaments in Fischler's head.

Weird it's almost as if results aren't always indicative of play

(they sucked ass in Game 1 though. Boring as hell.)

calm down Bingo I was joking. I'm sure the Canes will be a strong team again this year, although I do expect them to take a small step back from the previous years.

He used the sarcastic winking face! What more is he supposed to do???

Obviously, the 'Canes will not be as good a team with Quickie still out with his neck injury!!!

That's about as good of an explanation as you're going to get around here. (but, also )

See you all Saturday night

I think it is safe to assume Drury was the one who leaked Igor turning down the 88 million offer.

With the Maven attacking Igor, does anyone think Drury might have egged him into writing those articles??

Honestly doesn't seem like Drurys style. He has played everything tight to the chest so to purposely leak this would undermine how he's been GMing
