Feb 16-28 - brutal

The whole season is going to be brutally EXCITING!
Those last 6 games arent any kind of a picnic as well.
A "master of the obvious" statement incoming. "If" we are sniffing a PO scenario, those last 6 games, will tell ALL!

 

[Hunter Gathers]

Lol not getting into this with you.

Yeah, you don't really have the ability to argue this, so that's a wise move on your part.

Yup, you got it buddy. Have a great Christmas.

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

Man I'm just excited for some f***ing hockey all the rest is details

Yeah for real.

People are acting like the Rangers are the only ones who have to deal with the slaughterhouse scheduling.

 

[Leonardo87]

Playing the Devils 4 times in a row in April when the games can be meaningful? Never thought I could hate the Devil any more... actually I could. Lol.

I personally think that this type of schedule is freaking awesome and I hope that we move towards a situation where we have way more divisional rivalry games. The pure hatred this is going to develop is going to be delicious.

I know I've mentioned this already but I don't see it. Maybe in the 70s when there were bench clearing brawls and whatnot.

I’m cautiously optimistic with it. I’ll miss the western vs. games, but will get plenty of that with the Anaheim games. But yeah, think there could be some renewed rivalry happening this year. I just hope some of these series don’t become duds. That is my only fear with playing the same team 8 times. So can go either way.

 

[FartMilk]

Having to see certain teams so many times breeds familiarity and hatred. I think the scheduling is genius.

People really would rather have a one-off with Calgary or Vancouver over a small series with Philadelphia or Boston?

I got nothin.

I just love the idea of playing our actual rivals a ton of times during the year.

I absolutely love it.

We shall see. This is going to be more civilized than the 70s, but the hatred that guys like Lemmy are going to gin up is going to be fantastic.

I would like it more if dirty scumbags like Wilson and Marchand weren't in our division

 

[mrhockey193195]

As someone who has lived in multiple western conference cities in my life, I love the schedules where the Rangers play in each arena at least once a year. That being said, I am definitely looking forward to more rivalry games.

 

[The Crypto Guy]

Rather than be needlessly cordial and say the same, I'll say mask up and protect the people around you instead of continuing on about conspiracy theories and the like.

Merry Christmas

 

[Hunter Gathers]

Merry Christmas

Wear a mask and be a decent human. It's the least anyone on here can do.

Fight fire with fire. We have Lemmy for that.

 

[egelband]

56 games is not bad. I think somewhere in the 65-70 game range is ideal. 82 games (remember 84 games?) is too much. I wonder if - down the road they settle on, say, 72 games (and a couple of extra playoff spots, in exchange).

 

[RGY]

We just need our own version of those guys. Maybe Cuylle can be that guy but way too early to tell.

Excited for this schedule. I think its absolutely gona get nasty. Youre playing a team 8 times in a season? Some in consecutive stretches of 4 games? Its gona be like a playoff series. I love it. Team will have to bring their best every night. They are going to have to be on their toes.

Cheers to you and your family

I think that there is a reason that Gorton appears to be building a specific type of team

 

[TominNC]

I know I've mentioned this already but I don't see it. Maybe in the 70s when there were bench clearing brawls and whatnot.

You can have intense, tough games without mindless fighting.

 

[TominNC]

I like this schedule better than late night WC games. I know some of you guys watch many games of other teams around the league, but I really watch just the Rangers games. So I don't much care who's on those western teams.

 

[will1066]

It's going to be so weird not having Staal, McKegg, and Lettieri -- just to name three -- to rag on. On the other hand, welcome aboard, Jack Johnson.

Don't worry. There will always be a few whipping boys for this crew to rag on. Johnson, Howden, and Strome say hello.
