Post-Game Talk: Caps @ Rangers

[Cobra Jack*]

I just feel that this fan base clings way too much to something that happened over 20 years ago. Honestly most fan bases wouldnt want to brag about something that hasn't happened in 2 decades.

If you were around in 1994 to see the cup and know what it meant, you'd understand a bit more why we cling to it. I don't really see anyone "bragging" too much about it to be honest. But it was a great run. Best team in the league + the cup = extremely memorable season. First Russians to win the cup. First American to win the Conn Smythe. Yeah, it was special. 7 games down to the wire. Maybe if we duplicate it this year, then go another 20 plus without winning, some young dude will say "tired of hearing about that 2015 team". Then you'd understand lol.

LMAO. Nbc will focus on Ovenchicken taunting Lundqvist during their intermission report. At least they're clearly showing who they're rooting for.

Was watching the end of the period of that game and saw that...news to me...what is this 'taunting' they are referring to?

 

[Xref]

LoL at the mere thought of bringing up McIlrath to "shadow" AO. Might as well just forfeit the series to the Caps. My gawd.

 

[MooseheadNYR*]

What time does the game start tomorrow. 12:30 or 1:00?

The NHL doesn't need to help the Rangers because the Ranger fans stick with this team for good times and bad times.

The other teams? Ehh…not so much

Note: see Pittsburg 2002-2005

You said your too young to remember 90s Messier right?

It was a difference of a few points between the two, and without the guarantee, Jersey would be sitting on 4 cups instead of 3, and the curse would still be here.

What people say is irrelevant to the point.

Leetch definitely deserved it It was the best post-season I have ever seen by a player in a Rangers uniform.

I'll tell you something, Regg. I really had you pegged wrong and I feel horrible for misjudging you! I've come to respect and appreciate the vast majority of your posts.

...it was 20 years ago. get over it.

Heads and shoulders above Messier at literally the same time?

Many times, I admit I don't make a good first impression. It's something I need to work on.

I'm kinda like a Fungus. I grow on you over time.

He is arguably THE greatest Ranger. Ever. He won more cups in Edmonton, but the most important cup of his career was won here in NY. As far as him being dirty goes...nice guys finish last. And that's coming from a "nice guy". And Messier considers himself a Ranger, not an Oiler. He meant much more to the city of NY than he ever did to Edmonton. Gretzky is an Oiler. Messier is a Ranger.

Take it easy there.

 

[ReggieDunlop68]

...it was 20 years ago. get over it.

Oh yeah! I can use loud keystrokes too!

This is in regard to other discussions we had.

If Rick Nash doesn't get his **** together, you may not see a god damn cup in your lifetime!

Ya dig?

 

[Whiplash27]

Brian Leetch is the answer to this question.

 

[Cobra Jack*]

Get over what? We won. We didn't lose. Seriously questioning how much of a Rangers fan you are when you can't even appreciate your supposed favorite teams history. Maybe the Kings or Hawks would be a better fit for you since you seem to be more into recent championships.

 

[Cobra Jack*]

Brian Leetch is the answer to this question.

Yes I think so too, but you can also make a case for Messier and not sound ridiculous doing it. Certainly Messier was the greatest Captain we ever had, although I am sure saying that will irk a certain young poster here who shall remain nameless.

 

[Machinehead]

...it was 20 years ago. get over it.

If we're just gonna "get over" this in 2035, then let's just lost the next 3 and not bother.

 

[MooseheadNYR*]

Brian Leetch is the answer to this question.

This is the best NY Ranger ever.

 

[Problematique]

What time is puck drop tomorrow?

 

[Hire Sather]

Can we trade St Louis back for Cally right now?

You wanna pay Callahan 6.5 mill?

No thank you. I'll take the expiring contract.

 

[Machinehead]

Callahan was so great in the playoffs.....

Leetch was easily the most important Ranger on that Cup-winning team.

What head and shoulders means exactly, I'm not sure, but Leetch was certainly the most valuable post-season player that season.

We can't make fun of Isles fans for hanging onto their 80s dynasty and then wax poetic about 1994.

It happened 21 years ago. Its quickly becoming pretty pathetic to keep talking about it.

We shouldn't.

 

[The Gloaming]

We shouldn't.

I don't. But I also don't go around bragging about 1994.

1994, the 80s Islanders, or the 60s Habs are all exactly the same to me. I wasn't alive for any of those teams, and I don't need them shoved down my throat.

I want THIS Rangers team to create it's own legacy, not be compared to the 1994 team any time something good happens.
