Great update Jon for August 22nd…. One more Month Baby, can’t get here soon enough Brother!!!!

[@John-ny5vh]

He has every tool to be considered elite. Kid plays a strong north to south game....exceptionally gifted skater...terrific shot and can play with an edge when needed.

[@RyanLingren]

Nice podcast Chick

[@dirkpitt7961]

Looking for a point per game this year from Laf

[@cocomarsh1]

he'll have to be on pp1 for that.

[@shawnlewin9057]

Will he play on the first power play unit for the whole season. If he does then he has a chance to have a truly elite season.

[@RyanLingren]

I miss hockey 😢

[@tbonet859]

With all due respect: The Perimeter Plague of this team, is not exaggerated, whatsoever. They lost against the Panthers due to poor, weak team defense, out worked / out muscled, the unwillingness/ inability to break out of their perimeter game ( 5-on5) and penetrate between the circles and to the net, in the Panthers zone. Watch games 5 & 6, again. No exaggeration, whatsoever.

[@10.11.9]

Watch Erik Gustafsson from Game 1 against Washington to Game 6 against Florida: the worst Rangers playoff defenseman in 28 years.

[@SFLET-up9ll]

one trick mik is a 2nd line C at best. Dru's worst decision. demote his ass

[@10.11.9]

Ranger fandom is going to be very disappointed nine months from now.

[@chefrah54]

he needs PP 1 , No?
