And what, put all our guys on IR and overpay these ECHL guys to somehow get to the cap floor? It's not possible to lose every game any more than it is to win every one.
We're probably not going to make the playoffs, and we're not going to buy at the deadline. But to think we can magically drop to like 3rd last in the league just because we've decided we're gonna sell isn't going to happen.
I said it before, if we somehow finish at 7th last, that will be as good as we can hope for.
I want the Rangers to lose as much as anyone, but what did we expect them to lose 28 straight games or whatever?
Lmao and what is the record just out of curiosity?
Im all for the tank and highest pick. Did you think we were gonna lose 27 straight games to end the season? We suck man I think anything is possible except maybe finishing behind the 3 worst now.Why not call up Nell or Halverson instead of Georgiyev and let them play over Hank? You could also have called up the ECHL players instead of Pionk, Gilmour, Lettieri, give them all big minutes.
This team winning games hurts the long-term future. There's a generational player in this draft. We should be trying to do everything we possibly can to give ourselves a chance to win the draft lottery. Getting the 8th or 9th pick is going to make the tank longer, unless we get extremely lucky. Rarely do teams find star players outside of the top 2-3 selections of a draft. Teams win in this league with star players. Chytil, Buchnevich, Andersson, co aren't that. Adding a bunch of those players is not going to do much for this team.
It might even be worse than having to tank for longer. There's a chance we'll be stuck in mediocrity if we add enough good players to keep this team in the 10-20 range of the league. There are two things you want to be in the NHL, a contender or one of the worst teams in the league.
I want them to lose but I'm not rooting for it if that makes any sense?I dont want them to lose. I want them to keep winning.

Eh not really.
The 1st vs Calgary and the 2nd today were good. The other 4 periods were more of the same with Hank doing Hank things.
I hope we sell and make the playoffs. Call up the kids give them some experience.I dont want them to lose. I want them to keep winning.

Really? Haha, incidentally he's actually my favorite player ever. Hated he came to us too late in his career. Thats a surprising stat though I'm surprised I didn't even know that one. Im guessing it was one his back to back 50 goal seasons in Florida.Pavel Bure with 9. That was in a 50+ goal season, incidentally.

If anyone think they are going to tank they are out to lunch. The FO at not point said they were going to tank. Just a change of core. Plus if you make the playoffs you never know what happens. Look at the sens last year
Just like I don't actively want or root for them to lose but if they lose I accept the tankI want them to lose but I'm not rooting for it if that makes any sense?
Yeah I agree its annoying but you also know theres so many games left that we are gonna lose games we shoulda deserved to win and lose a lot more games that we should lose. I don't have any faith in this roster. I think anything but the top 3 is attainable. Im praying for a top 5 pick. Detroit won today, Florida is playing well, When this roster is purged, the wins are going to be very, very rare.I never said losing 27 in a row. It's annoying that this team wins two games late where they could've and maybe should've gotten 0 points from either game. Those 4 points at the end of the season might be the difference between 4th in the lottery standings and 7th.

Guys rooting for the tank must have had a miserable day.
As a NY Jets fan, trust me I know. It was a miserable experience. You might as well root for the win and be satisfied if they lose. Just let the suck happen naturally.
