![]() Rangers brass is gonna do what Rangers brass is gonna do.Īll DeAngelo can do is play hard and continue to showcase his skills and show not just the Rangers, but every NHL team, that he belongs on an NHL ice sheet. Quit acting like every official is "out to get him".because eventually, if he continues with the 'attitude', they likely WILL be! Yep.the Rangers would rather have Bitetto on the ice right now over DeAngelo.hell, even Jack Johnson, who also played a bad game, seemed immune from any criticism the Rangers may have leveled at their blueline.įair or not, I think DeAngelo is at a point in his career (25 yrs old), that he needs to help HIMSELF but keeping his mouth shut, just play hockey, heck, maybe even coming forward himself and taking ownership of any bad play before anyone else points a finger in his direction.even if he isn't the only one playing terribly. Perhaps his reputation or something else happened NOT reported in the media that led to him being relegated to shuttle squad in favor of, get this, Anthony Bitetto! but the bottom line was, his skillset was beginning to show on the ice. Good thing or bad thing (Arizona didn't want him, but the Rangers did), I am not sure. I thought he would get traction in Arizona (he started to play well), but then gets bounced forward again to the Rangers. but then traded him to Arizona for just a second round pick. ![]() I didn't know much about DeAngelo when the Lightning first drafted him, but I was told by some other knowledgeable fans that he is a bit of a firecracker.and not always in a good way.īut apparently, Steve Yzerman saw enough in him to draft him. Is it his reputation for run ins with officials? Is there a genuine attitude problem with him and authority?Ĭould be one, could be a mixture of any of those things.įor sure, DeAngelo didn't help himself, first for how badly he played on the ice, and secondly, slamming doors in the penalty box which garnered him extra Sin Bin time. So why would the team single out DeAngelo who is one of their better up n coming defensemen? You could look up and down the lineup and find fault with guys not playing to their abilities and that even includes young Shesterkin in net who let goals in he probably should have stopped. Thing is, DeAngelo was FAR from the only Ranger having a bad night. Word out of the Rangers is Tony DeAngelo will be riding the taxi squad following a piss poor performance.both on the ice and tactfully when being called for penalties.just one game into the New York Rangers season.
