[TGWL]

I can take losing if they compete like this.

 

[Doctyl]

Ah the EN GWG classic

 

[Brother Mouzone]

We deserved a better fate ...........

 

[mas0764]

What's the temperature of this board? Are we allowed to kinda be rooting for a bottom-5 finish so we can get another elite talent?

I want to watch good hockey, I hate the prospect of seeing losing every night, but at the end of the day, this team is still a couple long term pieces short. Feel like tank it up, get Kaako or somebody in the draft, sign Panarin, then you can close the door on the talent acquisition portion of the rebuild, and start really developing them at that point.

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

Rangers literally just lost this game because Zucc can't count.

 

[EdJovanovski]

Despite that goal the top line has been horrible

Kreider especially. This is how he shows up for opening night?

It seems like he mishandled and couldn’t receive any passes today

 

[Jayan]

This is a good first result, the kids needs to learn how to hate to lose. Nothing stings like "just losing" a home opener.

 

[nevesis]

Not bad considering the team we played...need a lot more from the top line. Defense is a f***ing disaster.

 

[Kovalev27]

What’s zucc’s excuse for missing 4 grade A scoring chances? Vesey too as good as he played you’re an nhler have to put one of those home or your useless.

 

[Irishguy42]

This team hung with the Preds. Might have even won if the refs didn't mess up. I'll take that.

 

[rholt168]

Some good things overall. Staal still stinks and Kreider has to get his head out of his ass and make an effort.

 

[ColonialsHockey10]

Lol at Kreider shaking his head.

Dumbass played like he didn’t care at all this game. Such a mental piece of work.

Good first game for most of the guys. Hank was excellent. Really enjoyed watching that one. The refs screwed us.

 

[bl02]

That was soooo close. Strong game against a top 5/6 team. Kids look fine. I know Hank was good but Rinne made 4 or 5 really strong saves as well on the other end.

Tank With Dignity™

Good job trademarking it b4 someone takes it

 

[Kaapo Takko]

Not a bad game considering who we played.

 

[Fitzy]

I just want to see the young guys improve.

Was happy to see good performances from the U-25's on this team tonight.

 

[gorangers0525]

They exceeded my very low expectations...by a lot. Certainly not a game to hang your head over.

I think your use of literal is off.

We gave a Cup contender some fits.

 

[Tob]

Good job trademarking it b4 someone takes it

lots of cybersquatters and digital property thieves around here.

 

[Avery16]

Howden looks like he belongs. Fast should stay above the 4th line.

They probably bury that empty netter anyway but you're right can't make those kind of mistakes. He almost made up for that in front of the net to tie it 3-3

Finishing has never been Zucc's strong point.

 

[Ori]

Henrik is not happy and we deserved at least OT in this game - no puck luck so it seems this evening.

 

[Placid]

What’s zucc’s excuse for missing 4 grade A scoring chances?

He had 2 good scoring chances, and was robbed both times by Rinne.
