I’m confused aren’t you the one that loves Winnipeg saying that they would smash Tampa . My bad if I’m getting u confused with someone else
I do, but they aren't going well right now.
They've lost to Ottawa twice and lost to Colorado (who can't beat anyone right now) within the last week. Their road trip before playing us didn't go so hot either.
Perspective is important.
Chicago probably still winds up ahead of us but you get the feel they need to score 5 or 6 to win.
Ottawa played well tonight and they are not as bad as everyone thinks.
Not here to debate and scrutinize every Ranger game under the microscope in the last 12 but they are 7-4-1. that’s not gonna cut it for being bad enough to tank.
Yes they are.
They're like bottom of the barrel in every metric out there except goal scoring (where they're pretty good.)
They have good young talent, undoubtedly better young talent than the Rangers do, but collectively they suck.
The Rangers have legitimately played decent hockey over the last 12, the record is probably fair if not a little bit slanted against how well they've played during that time span but they've faced a shit load of gassed teams which has helped their cause.
It won't continue though unless JG gets stupid.
Ottawa is better than nj and Edmonton even with all the crap/distractions the players have to deal with. ownership needs to wake up.
Well when the Rangers were expected to be in the bottom of the barrel maybe schedule should have been taken into consideration lol. I mean come on with Hayes and Zucc the Rangers don’t suck enough to be in the bottom 5 even with all the excuses after every game they win. Let’s hope that when both guys are traded there is enough runway for them to be passed up by enough teams for us to pick at least 7th.
I love listening to tsn 690 highly entertaining. Two weeks ago they were fielding calls for the Habs to go for it and trade for the likes of a panarin now some callers are saying let’s sell guys like petry and see what we can get . Even with the Rangers not in the playoff mix it will be an entertaining final two months of hockey

I’m of the opinion that Winnipeg is poorly coached. They need a coaching change to get to the next level but politically it’s very hard to make a change now. It’s a shame. They’re incredibly talented.

its funny. The Rangers saw Boyle as an elite fourth liner but he wanted a bigger role and left. But in fact he has settled into exactly the role the Rangers foresaw for him and is quite well-regraded. But has been traded a million times.

So, Carolina has produced t-shirts mocking what Don Cherry said about them.
Some people will hate me for saying this I love organizations that have fun with it. Vegas, Dallas, Carolina. Sometimes I wish the Rangers were a bit less serious. Never do anything fun. They're so boring. Like that kid in class who always follows the rules and reminds the teacher we have a test today

I think my favorite part of it is how outraged some get. They go out of their way to be publicly mad about something so innocuous. You don't have to like it or anything but then just turn the TV off. Literally change the channel lol.

Looks like Philly is going to win against Detriot. Would have been nice if it was a 3 point game.
Panthers tied with the Habs in the 2nd.

My issue is this: the team sucks. They’re a bubble team. They haven’t done shit in a decade and have 10 fans. If Tampa did this I’d be more ok with it because they’re curb stomping the league. It looks dumb when you do shit like this and you suck.So, Carolina has produced t-shirts mocking what Don Cherry said about them.

I mean they dont suck. They'd be the 5th best team in the west and they are 1 pt out of a playoff spot in the east.
