I love all these pundits who seem to enjoy the Rangers woes but as soon as they’re back on top of the league they’ll be up our ass about how good it is for the game and how it’s a better NHL

Pittsburgh and Edmonton hoard 1st overall picks for years.

*Crickets*

Rangers get only their second 1st in franchise history

*IT'S NEW YORK BIAS!! RABBLE, RABBLE, RABBLE!!*

 

[Jaromir Jagr]

Completely disgraceful. Losing is one thing. Losing with a joke of an effort is another. A complete shame.

 

[LokiDog]

Did Sam just call him Henrik.. Sidney Crosby?

page 94 it's a sign

I just think we need two centers at least and I don’t see the value in trying to overpay for a 27 year old. I think you’ve either gotta steal one in the draft, and you help yourself by moving up, and/or trade for a guy like Wyatt Johnston out of Dallas, someone in that Tier who isn’t too far away but you can swap with a team who wants something else you have.

I don’t think you need to trade every veteran just to move them out but I do think you need to fill your future holes with precedence over making runs now, because as we see the “now” is no good.

Unless you're picking at the very top in a great draft and everything goes right, most help from the draft is years away.

We're not a position to wait years as an organization. We've turned that corner.

 

[Bacon Artemi Bravo]

Lmao why Sam almost just called Sidney Crosby "Henrik Lundqvist"?

 

[Jaromir Jagr]

If Reaves isn't gonna provide a spark at this point he's not useful.

Reaves was and never will be useful. The only people who like him a pea brained fools who have no concept of what it takes to actually win a hockey game. This is a hill I will die on.

 

[LokiDog]

The Rangers blowing a must win game was one thing. Doing it with zero pride or self respect and turning in THAT performance is another altogether. I can’t defend that.

 

[Bacon Artemi Bravo]

Sam is on Ketamine tonight

 

[Machinehead]

Lmao why Sam almost just called Sidney Crosby "Henrik Lundqvist"?

Sam just had to watch that.

I'm surprised he said any English words.

No way, I’m giving Igor his shot at an elimination game. Literally the only hope is he goes sicko mode.

 

[effen]

Admittedly, I'm pretty checked out at this point, but have they like... created a single chance this period? Or anything close?

No. Didn't try at all.

 

[Bluto]

You know who would be great for this team? Jonathan Toews. Dude is a great captain and would be an immense upgrade over Strome.

 

[Fataldogg]

Honestly, I expected more than this but my expectations of a group of players with nearly zero playoff experience, a ton of players under 25, and their first trip to the dance in 5 years wasn't very high. Hopefully they can elevate and get past the rattles and make a series of it.

I actually had high expectations in this series. You have what will be a Vezina winner in net, a Norris winner who put up over 70 points, a 1C who was a point per game with over 80 points, a 96 point winger who would have scored 100+ if he played every game, a 52 goal winger who also scored over 70 points, and then depth players added like Copp, Vatrano who both finished with close to 20 goals, Lafreniere who finished close to 20 goals, etc.

This was their best team in a LONG time. I did not expect them to lose to an older Penguins team with their 3rd string goalie in net. If this was happening against the Hurricanes, Leafs or Lightning? Id be okay with it. Thats not the case though.

gallant has to be fired can't wait to see what that says after the game

 

[17futurecap]

The Rangers had 1 high danger scoring chance at five on five, 1!

 

[Bob Richards]

Admittedly, I'm pretty checked out at this point, but have they like... created a single chance this period? Or anything close?

No. I've given the defense so much shit tonight (for being horrific) but the offense has actually not challenged Louis f***ing Domingue all game.

Its incredible how bad this game was lol

 

[DuneGoon84]

We missed our chance to win the cup with that 14' team... that team had playoff type players

 

[Oscar Lindberg]

You know who would be great for this team? Jonathan Toews. Dude is a great captain and would be an immense upgrade over Strome.

The Hawks don’t even want Toews and we want him for some reason?

Toews today is not the guy he was a few years ago

Thats all i got.
