The season of the Rangers is almost treated, but the drama that has plagued them since the low season is not.
Calvin de Haan had something to say on Sunday, until the veteran defender decided that it would be better to wait until the game 82 had passed.
Joining an existing group of unhappy players in the locker room costumes this season, the acquisition of the team’s commercial line intentionally opened a dialogue with the media to, presumably, express their frustration with serving as a health by 18.
The 33 -year -old comment on the way it is the leg treated by the Rangers.
“Okay,” he joked.
After confirming that he wanted to speak before stepping on the ice for an optional practice, of Haan, when he appeared, he had an animated conversation with a member of the public relations staff of the Rangers who changed his mind. Then, the Rangers informed the media that Haan would be waiting until the end of the season to speak.
The post confirmed with De Haan directly that it was his decision to delay; He said he wanted to get more information before speaking.
It was clear, however, the Rangers did not do it because the rooster said what he had to say.
“I said what I said because I am frustrated, and any competitor who says he would be happy in this position would be lying to you,” said Haan in X after the situation was reported. “After playing 3 games for the team and going 2-0-1, I thought that, perhaps, I would have had[ten] An opportunity to jump to alignment and help win some games.
“I helped win those games that I played? Maybe, maybe not,” he continued from Haan. “But we still win and collect some crucial points to raise the classification. I understand the youth movement in the NHL, and I am getting old in the hockey years and it is possible that I do not play every night, [but I] I feel that I can still contribute and help the teams to win. “
The list of rangers who have talked about their frustrations with management/coaching is uncomfortable this season. Haan joins former Captain Jacob Trouba, the second selection of the second time he quoted in 2019 Kaapo Kakko, since then, Jimmy Vesey and Zac Jones, since then, all have spoken their minds not perfected.
Trouba made the first day of the training field, the 31 -year -old defense who was heading to the headlines of the low season on resisting a New York trade on behalf of his family.
“It is a right of passage to be fired by MSG,” Trouba said months later, in December, after being sent to Anaheim.
Kakko did not put words almost at the same time, the Finn by calling the organization for his tendency to choose a young man from the alignment, after he himself was scratched by the loss of 2-0 in Nashville. And Kakko was changed to Seattle the next day.
In January, Jones said he felt he was “rotting” after repeatedly taking out the tasks of alignment of his mandate with the Rangers.
And later, those months, Vesey said he felt he was “dying” as long as it did not have a “role or purpose in this team” a section of nine games scratches. It was exchanged, together with Ryan Lindgren and the Hank Kempf leaflet, to Colorado, only a few months later in exchange for two conditional Draft teams in 2025, the Finnish Center Juouso Parsssinen and Haan.
Now Haan, who has bones with the Rangers for 44 days, becomes the last to reveal his disgust with the club.
“I am not trying to be the villain or attract attention or throw shade to the organization, I would have preferred a stage to talk about how my time has gone with the Rangers,” he continued on the social networks platform. “As a player, you must respect alignment decisions, you like it or not, it is only frustrating in the legs, it is not able to compete and do what I love. I hope everyone understands it.”
The Rangers as an organization, and the president and general manager Chris Dury in particular, will take a long look in the mirror this low season and evaluation of how their actions contributed to the anger that was cracked from the room this season.
There are only many players to speak to cancel this as a problem in the room only.
