This is a problem Ive had with the rangers since the rebuild began. Who is this teams leader? I dont think they have one.
Kreider is the longest tenured Ranger and can be brilliant when he is on. The problem is he is a ghost 70% of the season. Im sorry I want my captain and leader to be consistent, go to guy
Zibanejad shows no emotion. He loves to smile when they are winning but when they are losing he looks completely checked out. Anyone that is as terrible as he is at faceoffs shows that a level of compete just isn't there.
Trouba seems like a good dude and well respected. Only problem constantly makes poor hockey choices and makes at least 1 play a game that leaves me wondering if hes playing for the other team.
Panarin is an absolute beast and a superstar. Im not sure how good his English and isn't fired up when they are loosing.
Non of these guys have the IT factor in terms of who is their leader.
Look at BOS, WASH, PIT, CHI and who are there big game players? Bergeron, Crosby, Ovi, Backstrom, Kane, Toews.
Do the rangers have anyone as special as these players in their lineup right now? Maybe Laf but who knows.
I think we need to bring in some character guys this off season with Stanley cup pedigree. Right now they have alot of really talented complimentary pieces but they are missing a key piece. A leader.
You listed him winning a bunch of trophies. Phil Kessel’s done that. Is he a good leader?
In regards to the lung and all that, hey how’d you find out about that?
What you said is bollocks plain and simple - he is not a 'media product' of great leadership found only through the in-depth reporting of the BruinsBeat or Stanley-Cup-O - he's a TB12-lite of hockey...

I never said he was a media product dude. Did you even read what i said?
The whole point was that a lot of great leaders are only known to fans because of reporting, in other words its not something you see during games. Yikes. Take a lap back to the beginning of the thread, you’ll figure it out.

"We know who the leaders are because the media tells us, or they have a letter on their sweater.
As a bruins fan, i don’t think we would know Bergeron is such a great leader if it wasn’t reported. He keeps things pretty quiet."
Seems like a cul-de-sac surrounded by a off-ramp cloverleaf there Mac...
Have a free "like" on the house...
Cheers

If you can find where i said that he was a media product, or that his leadership was a product of the media, I’ll donate 500 USD to your favorite charity.
Look at the most recent Stanley Cup winners. They have all had "the guy" this team doesn't. (maybe the blues didn't have the guy but Pietraneglo was great and so was ROR)
ROR was doing the same thing in buffalo that you say Zibanejad does?

No no. You just showed me where i said we might not be aware of Bergerons leadership were it not for the media.
Now run back and find where i said his leadership was a product of the media. It’s a really big difference, so lets up it to 1,000 USD to your favorite charity.

As good ol' Dave Letterman used to say on the "st**id human tricks segment" - remember kids, nooooo wagering $$!

I could have offered a million. The point was that you shouldn’t go running around saying, “rarara you said this and that and this and that,” when you haven’t bothered to even give a cursory glance at the post you’re quoting. I’m a bruins fan dude. I’m well aware of how awesome Bergeron is. You just didn’t read things properly.

Man, I did not run around blah, blah blah.
I commented on your first post and from there there was a logical progression/yak about hawkey and at times the English language was used to it's fullest to do a point/counter-point.
yada yada
Lindgren was from the B's correct?
He's a fiesty-meatball, def gets in a few scrums I've seen and when he played Boston the first time it was old-school "elbow" rules...

You can’t really just yada yada your way out of this. You just made some stuff up that another poster never said. You shouldn’t do that. It hurts the forum. I think that’s all i have for you. Just be better

Lets just there are 3 things guranteed in life: death, taxes and Lindgren bleeding on the bench

Seriously Mac!?
You just yadda yadda my yada yada. I did not make stuff up about you or your postion. I'm just sitting in the dressing room, havin a brewskie, takin' hawkey smak w/ the boys (and girls too)...
That IS the CF motto...
