This may be the rallying point that leads us to the cup

not mentioned: Henrik Lundqvist was driving the other car

j/k

This is the scariest news I've read since being a Rangers fan. Glad they're "ok"

I swear this entire hockey day is a car crash ... now better with the Skjei trade

The timing of this accident is the most Rangers thing ever.

Im so glad they’re OK, but every so often something happens that makes me question whether there is some divine intervention happening with this team.

Come on man, I thought you are a fan (said with tongue firmly in cheek)! This is the kind of thing that has been happening to the Rangers for decades!

Henrik gets hit in the throat in 2015. Brian Leetch slips on ice getting out of cab and breaks his ankle in 1993 (after breaking it in 1990). Potvin breaks Ulf's ankle in 1979. Read this: https://nypost.com/2015/02/07/lundqvist-isnt-alone-the-injuries-that-altered-rangers-history/

Knowing our history, I would have expected this accident to have happened at 8pm tonight, after the deadline, not last night before the deadline. We can make moves accordingly. Thankfully it doesn't seem to be that bad.

It's ok. Igor will be fresher for our SC run.

How long has Igor been in town? To me, he has no business driving in NYC being a newbie.

NYC traffic is stupid but it's not a hard place to drive in. Toronto is much worse when it comes to drivers being idiots*

*anecdotal only from my trip to both places last year

It's nothing compared to the drivers and traffic here in DC and Northern Virginia. Worst in the nation.

Anyone know where in Brooklyn their crash happened?

 

[ElLeetch]

Igor just trying to make sure he doesn't become ineligible for the Calder next year.

 

[Leonardo87]

Opposing driver must have been an Islanders or Devils fan. geez.

Anyway, glad they are both ok.

 

[Governor]

Given the way the NYR handled Mika's "upper body injury" early in the year; I am incredibly concerned for both Igor and Buch.

 

[kovazub94]

Igor could only keep one eye on the road.

Um... Mika came back and played incredibly well. I'm not sure how the Rangers "handled" it wrong.

 

[Brooklyn Rangers Fan]

Damn it, fellas, take Ubers.

There's a reason rental car companies won't rent to men under 25...

 

[shello]

Probably the most Ranger thing to happen to this team but I'm happy it wasn't more serious.

Are there Ubers driving around with armoured HUMVEEs, or how would it help their situation if some prick decides to do a u-turn into you?

 

[Mikos87]

Hope they are okay. Shesty being out means the playoff run is out of the question.

Rangers can afford to staff a driver for these guys. Take care of your assets.

Sheepshead Bay area. Ocean Ave. and Avenue Z.

Serious question

Why is Igor driving in a country he is unfamiliar with and one of its worst cities to drive in?...

Unless hes been around NYC before?

I suppose the counter-argument is that these are grown men who want to live their lives outside of working hours.

Hopefully they didn't have to wait 3 and a half hours for the cops like usual.

 

[Bluto]

As someone who has driven in 50 countries + in their lifetime, I can say a guy taking an illegal u in Brooklyn is something that no amount of training can avoid.

to get to practice ? CT doesn't have the best mass transit surrounding hartford and he was living there for a while
