Concerning that this org top to bottom thought Miller was ready. Maybe it’s an off night but he looks like he needs AHL time.

When you are watching JJ and Smith on the left side, then TdA out of position, I'm sure Miller looked like a Norris trophy winner in camp.

 

[CasusBelli]

The team is still in need of a couple of guys who can drag a team into the fight on nights they just don’t have it. Lemieux is one, if Quinn would freaking play him...

When he plays, he gets a phantom call against him.

 

[Hunter Gathers]

Dude, the new avi is f***ing incredible

I randomly came across the picture searching for Mika hair for some reason.

I nearly spat out my drink at the time.

 

[NYR Viper]

Kakko looks like a kid still growing into his body. He’s huge, and still growing. Blake Wheeler at this same age wasn’t even dominating college.

 

[Tob]

Gorton traded the #20 pick and signed Panarin and all those jazz in order to try and ice a good team before his original competitive target of 2021-2022 season and this is the team we've iced.

 

[Mandar]

Rangers have won 16 lost 23.

Thanks....41%.....stellar

 

[CasusBelli]

Playing like a bunch of p***ycats

Uncalled for. What did cats ever do to you?

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

Turned on the CAR DET game just in time to see Skjei take a penalty. Heh.

And Staal whiff a shot lol. they still look better than us though which is depressing

 

[howztheglass]

who's gonna do the ass chewing? I don't recall this team and coaching staff being of the ilk that comes back from a bad game with hunger.

JD loses his bubbly personality watching this shit show one game into the season.

Damn sometimes I do miss Torts—at least he would say—guy I got nothing that was just a shit show tonight.

 

[Hunter Gathers]

Wait how the f*** do we have the same amount of shots rofl

 

[Shesterkybomb]

Its Miller's 1st NHL game, i havent seen one player on this team that looks sharp and ya gotta jump on the guy with 0 games under his belt....... come on

 

[Kords]

Makes perfect sense

 

[ThirdEye]

Seconded. I want to believe he’ll turn it around, more than anything, but I just don’t see it. There are flashes of decent play but no flashes of brilliance. There’s just nothing there.

There were definitely flashes during last years postseason

There's no way this is it... just no way

 

[aufheben]

Exactly what I expected. The Islanders ALWAYS play us like it's game 7 of the SCF.

Just mad they look so gassed out there. We had a few chances but just can't hit the net. Quinn is horrible with sticking to like combos. I can't even count on how many changes he's made.

The Islanders play every team like it’s SCF G7...until they score. Then they spend the rest of the game constructing a pillow fort around their goalie.

 

[CasusBelli]

Wait how the f*** do we have the same amount of shots rofl

Because our shots are crap.

 

[Kane One]

Makes perfect sense

Wat

 

[Edge]

I’m not seeing the Kakko concerns. I thought he had some good shifts out there, one of the better scoring chances of the night, etc.

Some of y’all got him on the next flight out of NY

 

[NYR Viper]

We should have known when the Rangers traded Staal. Who is going to score the first goal of the season is no Staal? Duh. How was this not discussed?!

 

[Hunter Gathers]

Makes perfect sense

Second chances are now not a thing I guess

Yay

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

Wait how the f*** do we have the same amount of shots rofl

because NYI got a n early 3-0 lead and they've been sitting on it since halfway thru the 1st.

 

[CasusBelli]

There were definitely flashes during last years postseason

There's no way this is it... just no way

I hope you’re right. I really, really do, mate.

 

[HFsNumber1Heel]

Haha Vally talking about low percentage chances. He's not wrong.

 

[Kakko Schmakko]

The skill disparity between Laf and Kakko is pretty incredible. Laf is a clear step above.

I agree

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

Lol the Kakko hate in here is stupid.

He's been fine. His linemates have been MUCH worse than he has tonight.

 

[itsPLkielbasa]

Wat

Same here. I'm lost.
