The fisherman has something local about it, and I love that. Pittsburgh has no penguins. I mean come on.

They have them at the zoo. That's what happens when you pick an animal because it sounds cool instead of it being local

[@carolinedoan6150]

I'm of the opinion that if there's going to be fighting in the sport, then people need to trained to do it well, and not take unnecessary risks, especially when they're young and trying to stay up in an extremely competitive market. Not at all a rangers fan but I'm glad

[@shaunjensen571]

The islander "captain Highliner" logo wasn't horrible but the design of the jersey when they introduced it was different and didn't feel like a major hockey team. It was worse than that 3rd that was like Halloween all day long (although I didn't mind it)

[@j.t.miller1641]

Are most if not all the teams that signed their 1st rounders the ones who picked in the top 16?

[@kmccart85]

I know League was a big time enforcer. Usually, rangers go to Nick Fotiu to learn to fight I thought he was still associated with the team in Hartford. Come to think of it, isn't Tanner Glass in player development? I go to nick fist but why go outside the organization?

[@TimFrith24]

Will the Islanders bring back the “Fisherman” logo that was used from 1995 to 1997 beginning in the 2025-26 NHL season?

[@heliumtrophy]

I think this definitively leaves it with the AHL. Probably the right decision.

Rempe could become one of my favorite players if he focuses on his actual job (hockey). I'm a fan of fighting in the sport - cheap shots and dangerous hits (like what Trouba does) is what I have an issue with.

[@toddgelineau6536]

Bridgeport should be the Sound Tigers again. There’s no islands in B’port. There is Long Island Sound and circus owner and former Mayor PT Barnum was from there. They had a great logo. AHL teams do not have to be named after the parent. The Hartford Wolfpack has been successful for 27 years without being the Rangers.

Nope, it was the 120 point scorer that had a grand total of 4 points the entire playoffs. Panarin is an absolute useless, overpaid loaf. Goodrow (who got traded) had more GOALS than Panarin had points. Do the Rangers want a president’s trophy or a Stanley cup? Clearly not interested in a cup.
