Probably howden, too.

Vali needs to pipe down with the BS about no teams scare him. Florida? Washington? Boston? Carolina? Toronto? Tampa? Nevermind how the top west coast teams have spanked their FUCKING HINEY.  

 

The Rangers are in a great spot and I'm not diminishing what they've been able to accomplish. But they are a very flawed team that for once is pulling wins out of their asses.  They definitely haven't hit their stride yet, but this roster needs help before you can start talking shit about how nobody else in the league scares you. 

[Sharpshooter]

I think this year's team has pulled so many wins out of their asses, I've never seen the Rangers do it that much in one season. Hopefully this game serves as an even bigger wakeup for what they need.

Gauthier has one move.

So did Peter Forsberg... 

 

Yes I'm totally comparing Gauthier to Forsberg. Totally.

I love him. But this is pandering for the home team after a road trip that had them look a bit lesser than they have been. He's being a homer here.

Lafreniere had a decent game. He made good plays all over the ice. Had some great set ups, several good defensive plays. 

This isn't said about many 10 yo players.

He had some scoring chances as well.

If the team needs to rely on a 20 yo "AHLer", then that's a different issue.

This wasn't Lafreniere.  He was one of the few skating. As a team, they didn't show up for 60 minutes. Same story. 

Hajek had a great game. Guess he stays. For. Ever 

[Sharpshooter]

At this point just about every team scares me. lol They barely got by the Coyotes.

[The Dude]

Post game.  What ever this show is after.. 

 

Know what I love about Anson Carter? 

 

Jaromir Jagr....

[Keirik]

I imagine if Fox was even remotely comfortable or good at shootouts he would be shooting in them.

Well it's the popular thing now to jump on him, and he was't even bad tonight nor was he a reason they lost

The board is like a train, all you see now is loaf this, he's a bust.Kakko took some time and is starting to find his game, lets give him some time

If Rangers showed up in the third, they'd win

[Sod16]

Our combined poor record in shootouts and OT may well haunt us.

One thing is clear: just one forward out creates a ripple effect and we end up with one good line and three patched together outfits.

How many punt/flip jobs to clear the zone did we employ in the third period?

[RJWantsTheCup]

Not going to win many games when you only play 1 good period.

We knew this would happen when Buch/Kravtsov left. 

If panarin is out, they need to make a 2nd line for Kakko. Kids so good. Time to let him take another step as the player, not a complimentary guy to Zibanejad or Panarin

[Albatrosss]

Hajek was great. Best defenseman last night. Probably because he was the freshest sitting out 27 games

Fox was better but Hajek did play well

Welcome back once again, folks!!  Yes, I had the same reaction to the Howden goal as you guys!  I think it was something to the tune of "You've got to be fucking kidding me!!

Chytilian effort in the shootout there.

Lafreniere would've dumped it in the shootout attempt. Actually, might've had a better chance scoring than Zibanejad.
