I recall them saying that, but I have a tough time believing that. Usually when someone is holding your star kid for longer than necessary at least the coaches are watching to try and lobby for a holding/interference penalty. But yes, you refreshed my old memory lol, I remember Matheson not answering the bell. I wish we had gone after Huburdeau at that point... not to hurt him but just rough him up a little to send a message to matheson. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The play was going the other way so the players had already turned, frustrating as it was. Matheson has proven himself to be a gutless clown numerous times since too. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeltaSwede Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 If I was a Rangers fan I would be embarassed by the direction the team is deciding to go and what the catalyst behind this change in direction was. You let one player change the future of your entire franchise and he isn't even in your organization. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigTramFan Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 Vegas probably move R Smith next. He only has 1 year left on his contract at $5m. Dadonov is his replacement as their 2RW. They need the cap space to resign Patrick and Coghlan and for some depth on D. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Later you big goon 11 hours ago, Coconuts said: If all you can do as a player is hit, talk $&!#, and fight, you're not likely to stick in this league in a significant capacity. The enforcer has gone the way of the dodo for the most part, he's an anomaly. Having a deterrent is overstated imo, teams gotta rally together with or without that guy. I'd say the league and it's joke called player safety are a larger impact on guys getting hurt than enforcers somehow stopping guys from taking runs or making questionable hits. The fighters need something to keep them in a lineup like checking or playing good defensively if not Dodo they are. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reaves made everyone braver when in their lineup. Reeves is also turning 35. Not sure how much he has left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

khay Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 Somehow I feel like Vegas' run is coming to an end. Fleury has proven that he can get you wins. They severely undervalued Fleury's contribution to the team's success. Now that he's gone, if Lehner gets in a slump, they could be in a trouble. Vancouver Canucks the Pacific division champions of 2021-22? I hope so. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kind of an odd move for both teams tbh. Not from the Rangers side after Dolan complained that they weren't tough enough. It's the reason Gorton lost his job. He didn't like the construction of the team that was too focused on talent - felt they had plenty of talent but that it wasn't the right mix to win a Cup and they needed guys to stick up for each other. https://nypost.com/2021/05/06/james-dolan-chris-drury-the-right-guy-to-lead-the-rangers/ “I saw a weakness in the team that was not being addressed and I knew it needed to be,” Dolan told The Post during a telephone interview on Thursday in explaining why he dismissed president John Davidson and general manager Jeff Gorton. “I knew that we were missing a key component to us being a Stanley Cup contender. “Honestly, we have enough talent now to compete for a Stanley Cup,” he said. “I’m sure we can always do better and add more, and I will tell you that both JD and Jeff did a good job of putting talent into this organization, and we also got lucky along the way too [with lottery victories the last two years]. “But other owners, other general managers have been telling me for a year that they can’t believe how stocked we are with talent, but talent alone doesn’t do it. We’re missing this piece and we need it. And when I looked at our organization, I felt that we need to change the whole organization and change the culture.

He’s pretty much just an old fashioned goon now. Rags will be playing short handed when he’s on the ice. He’s likely going to be eating popcorn for most games.

EternalCanuckFan Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 Reaves has been a huge part of the identity of the Knights along with Fleury. The team eventually needed to move on from them (as they decline and/or retire) but it will be very interesting to see how they play next year. They have played with a lot of swagger but I wonder how much of that was tied to having a guy like Reaves. They're still a good team: very strong up front (on the wines 6 mostly), Pietrangelo and Theodore anchoring their D, and Lehner in goal. I agree with others though that it feels like they have taken a step back. Stone is moving towards the end of his prime (don't get me wrong, he should still be good for awhile but how long that will be is a bigger question now) and others like Marchessault and Pacioretty aren't getting any younger. Patrick is a huge wild card especially as the replacement for Glass. They might have some help from young prospects like Krebs. If they really do end up making more moves to shed cap however, then this Vegas team might be less of a threat than in past years. They seem like they're in a way worse cap position than Vancouver. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
