Good on Laf to get that hat trick

 

[Megustaelhockey]

Watching the highlight pack from the Arizona feed looks like they use the NHL Network score bug... does that mean they don't have a local TV deal with a sports network like Bally, NBC Sports, etc?

 

[Kodiak]

I really like how this team is coming together at the right time. I know that we just gave up 5 goals to a bad team but the signs are there. It's more than just Kreider's 300th goal or Quick setting the record for American-born goaltenders. Look at how excited Lafreniere and Trocheck were when Jones scored. Watch Goodrow's goal and see how Trocheck didn't want to make himself a pass option because he wanted Goodrow to get it. Watch the reaction to Lafreniere's empty netter and first hat trick. This team is looking like they are playing for each other, and that is exactly what we want as we head into the playoffs.

They do not have a deal. I think Bally's went bankrupt & declined to renew the Yotes deal at the end of last season. They're on a local over the air channel in the Phoenix Metro. Not even a main channel, I think it's station 8.2 or something. Before this season I believe they were averaging about 1200 viewers a game locally. That's what I read in the Business of Hockey boards. Crazy if that's accurate...in a city of 6 million people.

They were screwed over by Bally's going under, I believe. The only way to watch their games is through ESPN+. I know a few baseball teams are dealing with the same thing, specifically AZ and SD

 

[KevinFinnerty]

still remember B.Richard's buzzer beater against this franchise.

 

[eco's bones]

Rangers should be odds on favorites to win the President's trophy at this point. I say this because the Rangers can max out at 120 points this year. Dallas is the closest to us. They can max out at 117 and Boston, Florida and Carolina can max out at 115. The Rangers also do not have a tough schedule left and if we win 5 and get to overtime in 1 of our remaining 8 no matter what any of Boston, Florida or Carolina do....even if they run their tables on their remaining games it won't be enough for them to catch us in the East. So as long as we're alive in the East we should have home ice advantage in any series.

I've lost count the number of times I went to check out the opponent's GT and it had like 4 pages. Say what you want about the Devils fan base but their threads are never boring.

Never boring always delusional - we don't do reality in jersey.

I need someone to make a "Different Spelling No Relation" t-shirt with Sam Rosen on it. Legit laughed after hearing that.

 

[FoxyClean]

So someone please tell me if we have ever seen a game where a team put up 8 goals without getting a single Powerplay?

Edmonton, last month (2/13) vs. Detroit.
Before that, Toronto on 2/26/2022 vs. Detroit.
Before that, Montreal on 2/26/2019 vs...... Detroit.

Detroit is very disciplined but very bad in February.

By the way, outside of those 3 games and tonight, you have to go back to the 90s for the last occurrence (and it only happened twice in the 90s).

Well said

In reference to the two Rangers' milestones and Lafreniere's first hat trick:

 

[cheech70]

Gotta get Laf on that PP 1

Krieder for a 1st,,,,,,,,,,,, Laf takes his spot on PP and PK

Thank you. I really didn't expect anyone to answer that.

Now could someone please give me the winning numbers for the powerball?

 

[turcotte8]

Rangers so far
Wins- 1st
Points - 1st
Regulation wins - 1st
Regulation + OT wins - 1st
Goals for - 5th
Goals against - 6th
PP - 4th
PK - 4th

 

[FUZfan]

Picking up right where we left off. Trouba playing more than Fox, and a team worst game score with beyond horrific defense. That laf->jones 2 on 1 though…that had my rod pointing north

The behind the back pass that Bread made to start that rush was a thing of beauty.

Good catch, they're certainly playing for one another. I give the credit to Lavy, instilling the TEAM thing in pre-season, and things like Tro's family sharing their house with Cuylle. Sure there are many other things we don't know, but they get it......all about each other. The Cancers are gone

 

[Larrybiv]

50-20-4 bitches.

I remember when we were like 13 or 14 games over, and felt we were doing well in that category. How in the hell it ballooned to 30, is beyond me. I blinked.

 

[Larrybiv]

Trocheck is like the perfect center. He does everything.

And that INCLUDES goal saving plays around our net. Man, if he rubs off in some of our youngin's (and believe he already has) in where you never quit in a play that's within reach......well, that's my man Troch

 

[bhamill]

Gonna eat 392 peeps in his honor

Kords we hardly knew ye.

 

[chosen]

Lately, been thinking just how formidable this team would be with Chytil.

 

[Mac n Gs]

Man, that shift on the Lindgren goal absolutely ripped. They had the Yotes pinned for two full shifts, and that pass by Fox through the dman’s legs to Lindgren was ridiculous

Super happy for Laf too. The kid’s been a beast all year. He put in a ton of work this summer and is really hitting that next level. I said it would be great if he could turn into our version of Filip Forsberg, and I think that’s still possible if he keeps progressing

 

[Riche16]

Kreider throwing the puck back should be a meme or Playoff avatar lol

The Bally's thing is going to affect a bunch of cities next year (not just hockey also).

The media side of Bally's is gone & not sure what entity(ies) will fill the vacuum.

I have to think the NHL, MLB & NBA have something in mind.

Could you imagine Florida Panthers games not on anywhere? Even if they use the away feed it's still something that will need a long term solution.

Like old school NYR Games on WWOR ch9 back in the day lol

Yeah, been thinking a lot about it.

Kind of when we talked about a season(s) when vets still would be at the top of their games and kids coming into their own. Gallant blew a chance last season. We shall see what happens this season without Chytil but him coming back (fingers crossed) next season would be the best possible roster improvement.
