So is Kreider in the running for the Hart?

Him and Shesty will probably cancel each other in votes but how cool is it that this is even in a conversation??? LGR!

All the fuckwads who can't talk about anything but how much we suck will have nothing to do for a couple weeks. Good with that.

Who said the Rangers suck?

[RichieNextel305]

That was as good of a 2nd and 3rd as we’ve seen them play against a good team all year. Maybe would have liked a little bit more of a tighter 2nd, but even still. Very impressive win against a very good team. Definitely a good way to go into this little break.

[Sharpshooter]

This two weeks with no game crap is going to suck. It's going to feel like the offseason in August. lol I guess they could use a break even after such a huge win.

[Bugg]

Winning vs. the Panthers with 2 great periods without Fox; that's really good. 

 

Heal up and get ready for the sprint to the end of the season starting 2/15. 

[Slobberknocker]

statement win.

 

does anyone know if fox is gonna tap out of the all star game.  would rather he gets the rest and comes back strong.

Felling really good after last night!  We get the Fox back, and we're probably going to make some moves to bolster the roster for the second half...Hopefully sooner than later.

 

Really spirited game against probably the best in the league!!!!

 

Very happy with that game last night!!!

Pretty sure Kreids said he’ll miss Fox at the all star game so my guess he’s not going to be there.

I saw somewhere that Fox is out for the all star game.

[Zuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuc]

Yup Fox is out of the AS game. Kuznetsov took his spot as the guy with 2nd most "last man in" votes.

good.  i hope kreider bets and parties too much in the casino and misses the game.

 

goes for the rest of the rangers as well.  i remember when sandstrom got injured and out for the season back in the day.

we never did, we were in win now mode and moved him for Yandle

He's always had the skill, but now he seems to have found a home in south Florida

The small regiment of people on Twitter, The Athletic, and other venues who believe Drury, Laf, and Kakko are all miserable failures and that the 5 v 5 numbers indicate that, well, the Rangers suck despite a 30-13 record.

This argument is akin to arguing Nirvana or Green Day suck because musically they only play 3 or 4 chords and have the depth of a puddle with their music. BUT they are successful so regardless whether you like em or not, if they produce and succeed then the ends justify the means regardless if those agree with how they got there.

 

Idc if they won a cup by scoring all goals off Lafs ass and the the other team forfeited due to COVID. A win is a win is a win. And they are hella fun to watch this year so F the statistics. LETS GO RANGERS!!!

At least every once in a while Nirvana will toss in a C#m !!!

....And sometimes you hear the bullet!!!

A very solid gut check for our boys!  Also a fine game by our favorite donut eater....probably his best as a Ranger to date!

A very active GDT tonight in honor of one of our returning old timers, @Jules!  ...and here are the Top 15 nominees for Ozzy’s Quote of the GDT, sponsored by AJ Malesko, the only one on the broadcast who didn't suck....unfortunately!  ...she's a babe!!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Spectacular way to go into the break, I would say.  Lots of Stromer Boners, and Kreider-Love!!  I can really get used to efforts like these!!!

…and the winning quote for tonight’s GDT goes to @jsrangers, who breaks his cherry to win his first Ozzy Quote of the GDT, watching Marchment pay the price, first hand as Strome massaged his face with the 5-Knuckle-Shuffle!!!

 

Thank you very much, it's a pleasure to be here talking shit with you guys day after day.  The banter and cutting edge back and forth is priceless.

True!!

 

But most of the hits are 4 chord wonders!  with those 90's groups, I'd still rather play those Alice In Chains or Pearl Jam "drop D" classics!!!

I agree with this philosophy for playoffs because it's a race to 16 wins and then you're done.

 

In the regular season, the record is the record but how you win matters. Benefitting from schedule, fortuitous COVID matchups, rarely giving the requisite effort for 60 mins, relying on the PP and needing superhuman goaltending to win, while getting nothing from your RW or bottom 6 does not bode well for the playoffs. Whistles get put away, depth is required, and you won't get away with playing 2/3 of the game. 

 

Now what they do have going for them is the big 5, Igor, and they don't lie down. They're never out of a game, even down by a goal or 2. But enhancements are needed if they're going to make a serious run.

The good news is that we have some time to get our shit together.  And I think you have it pretty spot on, Pete!  The playoffs to me are a new and different season.
