Lowly Blackhawks beat Rangers 2-1 at MSG
Unbelievable! I thought the dysfunctional Rangers would snap out of their funk & destroy Chicago tonight but no! They lost 2-1 against one of the worst teams in hockey!

NHL Awards Watch: Kaprizov, Makar running away from the pack?
Two months in to the season, heavy favorites for the Hart and Norris have emerged. Here's how our panel of PHWA voters is leaning on all the races.
The GM should be the one who should get fired but as usual the coach will probably end up paying the price. But this being the Rangers i wouldn’t be surprised if both the GM & the coach all get the ax just like when they fired John Davidson, Jeff Gorton & David Quinn a few years ago. The Rangers & the word circus are often synonymous to one another.
Last night’s lost to a team as bad as the Blackhawks is embarrassing & the score would have been worse had it not been for Shesterkin, who played very well & kept the score close. The shower of boos at the end of the game was priceless! Lol
you forgot to mention back to back losses to backup goalies of Seattle and Chicago, whose goalie was 1-6-1 coming in. It's not what you want. Laviolette is feeling the heat.
The problem is that it’s a slow, aging roster. And the way the organization has treated Trouba & past captains has disgusted many of the top players & possibly habe caused some to tune out. Player personnel is the responsibility of the GM. Laviolette is forced to go along with the players his GM provided him with. Maybe the Rangers should stop handing out no- trade clauses instead of going back on their agreement years later & start threatening their veteran players & team leaders.
We have seen the Rangers paying big prices for players and trades in the past. I think everything is possible at this point.
He’s playing on the 3rd line these days. He’s 31 & has 5 more years remaining on a big contract worth $8.5 million per year. His best days are behind him. I can’t see any GM in the league trading for him. Way too much term left. He also has a no movement clause which means the Rangers are either stuck with him or will look at buying him out in the future, which will result in a considerable cap penalty. They may have to wait another few years before considering this option.
Could happen if the rumors about them going after Brady Tkachuk are true. The Sens won’t consider trading him unless Lafreniere is part of the deal. However he has an 8-team no-trade clause in his contract which likely includes every Canadian team so i’d be shocked if he waived it to be traded to Ottawa. It could work however if a third team got involved & would have to send their own package of players or high draft picks to Ottawa in order to get Lafreniere.
Jets 8 Bruins 1
Not a great night once again for Jeremy Swayman & the Bruins who allowed 8 goals in only 35 shots! Lone goal from the lowly Bruins came from David Pastrnak with his 10th goal of the season. Hard to win games when you only score 1 goal & it’s by the only guy who can score goals who’s also having a tough start this season. Also hard to win games when your star goalie couldn’t stop a beach ball of his life depended on it! Maybe the time has come for the Bruins to start unloading some veterans while they still have some value. Does the name Brad Marchand ring a bell?

Its ridiculous, I read somewhere that the Pens was the team that allows the most goals in the league, then the Habs let them score 9!!! Lmao
