Rangers can’t buy a goal right now.

Taken 7 picks before Wyatt Johnston.

If Othmann is traded, which is fine, then I can only see it as another miss by the regime that gets added to the ledger. It was the first ever first round pick under this GM. #NYR

The news I want to see soon is #NYR waiving Parsinnen waived and Berard called up. Give me Berard - Laba - Raddyish third line. Brodzinski is basically just a warm body so send him to the press box. Berard is a NHLer and would add speed and some scoring to the bottom-6.

It feels like a transition year, but unfortunately, there's not a whole lot to transition away from because 70% of the roster is old and also locked up.

Matt Calamia @mattcalamia.bsky.social · 1d

I'm somewhere between. They're playing well, but there are absolutely concerns over scoring depth. Will Cuylle isn't a 1st liner yet. The bottom-6 play hard but have no pop. Who on the blueline is scoring more than 6 goals this season outside of Fox?

This Hank postgame scrum from 2013 feels relevant for Rangers goalies at home this year. "Have I played bad ... No. Can I score? No. Is it frustrating? Yes." Just an absolute classic quote.

This isn’t funny, but its not not funny … Just crazy.

Matt Calamia @mattcalamia.bsky.social · 1d

Call me crazy but I think they score in the third.

Every visiting goalie against the Rangers this season.

That’s game.

Matt Calamia @mattcalamia.bsky.social · 2d

Crazy that Laba has as many points (2) as Brenan Othmann, despite playing in 21 fewer games.

Matt Calamia @mattcalamia.bsky.social · 3d

Yeah. I think the odds of seeing Othmann up here again are slim.

Matt Calamia @mattcalamia.bsky.social · 3d

I hope so. I'd even take Berard. I like his speed. I also hope we see Morrow sooner than later because its tough watching Schneider on the PP.

Matt Calamia @mattcalamia.bsky.social · 3d

Totally. Definitely not surprising but I also think we can see more games like last night that go about the same way, especially if the outstanding goaltending doesn't sustain. I'm a Debbie Downer.

It sounds strange after they just scored 10 in 2 games, but I'm really concerned over who is scoring on this team. Who is scoring in the bottom 6? Will anyone on D not named Fox score more than 6 goals? It's a bigger concern than I thought it would be.

Matt Calamia @mattcalamia.bsky.social · 3d

PP2 could be the worst group in terms of personnel that I can remember.

Matt Calamia @mattcalamia.bsky.social · 4d

I really miss Sam and Joe.

Matt Calamia @mattcalamia.bsky.social · 4d

Hard not to like this kid Laba.

Matt Calamia @mattcalamia.bsky.social · 4d

Parssinen with 6:45 of ice time tonight.

Matt Calamia @mattcalamia.bsky.social · 5d

That was pretty. #NYR

Matt Calamia @mattcalamia.bsky.social · 6d

I notice a lot fewer stuff out by me on Long Island, too.

Matt Calamia @mattcalamia.bsky.social · 6d

That’s my captain.

Matt Calamia @mattcalamia.bsky.social · 6d

Im oddly not feeling Dave in the booth. At all.

Matt Calamia @mattcalamia.bsky.social · 6d

Ouch

Matt Calamia @mattcalamia.bsky.social · 6d

The Rangers are boring.
