Kitchener Rangers 2023-24 Off-Season Thread (Part 1)

[Knights Watcher]

I've seen the Knights take cheap shot after cheap shot even in the regular season when they are loosing, it's most teams motto when they are loosing and wanna inflict damage and punishment for past plays against them

True. But I don't expect that from Kitchener tonight.

Man, I am actually tired of Rehkopf right now lol

The whole PP 1 Minus Mesar is just so lazy. Nobody wants to go deep. They all cross the blue line like its noon hour shinny at don mclaren

This is so true! They skate like they are sinking in sand. Need more speed.

Martin look to favoring his right leg going off. Might be wrong though. Shouldn't be scrappng with his injury. Guess he wanted to contribute.

For Martin's sake I hope he's OK. I never wish injury on anyone

 

[bobber]

Surprised at the size of McNeil. He's a big kid.

 

[Boss Man Hughes]

Nice dive by Cowan.

Another dove by London??

 

[bobber]

Knights are getting a lot of 10s from the refs. Dickinson dived in the first. Cowan did a flying swan got a 9.

 

[Boss Man Hughes]

True. But I don't expect that from Kitchener tonight.

Knights would deserve it for all the diving.

Playing so well and Mesar takes a bad penalty

 

[KRangersRookie]

Considering London has injured 1/3 of our defense and already being down another this isn't too bad for a rookie forward and a junior b call up on the back end. I'd personally rather see a series decided best on best but London took any chance of that happening away. When was the last time we've ever seen a 4 rookie d core.

Rebooted the firestick and working now. Thx guys.

Yeah, probably related to that pelvic injury. He sort of stumbled into the bench and he looked like he was labouring skating off.

It was a dive. Kitchener coaches saw it on the tablet.

 

[RangerNation]

Well, they didn't give up at least. Yes they were swept, but 3 close games in the end, I'm much happier than I was last year at this time.

Thank you SOP. You were my favourite player this year. We are going to miss you.

Sop has heart, i am sure he's going to have a long career in the NHL

Mesar caught the guy in the face.

Thanks for a great series. You have some good players that will be Rangers for quite a while!

 

[Krangers08]

Macniel looked really good. Excited for his pairing with Reid

 

[Knights Watcher]

Congrats on a fine season.

You guys don't have any holes. I think you have another gear or two also

The Aud is painted green again.

The Aud is painted green again.

Don't worry. The tide will turn eventually. Maybe even next season. Rangers need some grit and sandpaper players and they'll be fine.

Strange season. No one in the league thought the Rangers would take off like they did. Caught up to them later. Losing Martin to injury and Hamara to trade change the narrative going forward. Deadline trades seemed weak but Sale was probably the best forward along with Mesar. No surprise losing 4 to the Knights. Looking forward the Rangers have some of the top rookies in the league. Bodes well going into next year.

Worried about next series.
I don't think we match up well against the Soo

I’m not worrying really. We’re used to the green paint.

Such a great start to the season for the Rangers... Top team in the league in several categories for a good period. Jussi impressive debut behind the bench. Lots of skilled forwards in the lineup. Just think that toughness is what you need to address. Until the next time...
