Sens, Flyers, Yotes all won. Oilers won too and Nucks picked up a loser point. Fantastic scoreboard tonight.

it just feels wrong to hope for a loss.
then again, i hope for a win and they lose anyway.
ill keep doing that....

Although it's still early, it just seems like we're destined for a #4 or 5 pick. I just can't see either one of Ottawa, Hawks or LA passing us with the way they've been playing
With how deep the draft is, that's still a good spot to be in. But it's also in that range where you have to be concerned about the Rangers going off the board because all the "definites" have already been taken

If Gorton dismantles the team we'll be right there with the Sens, LA and Hawks.

The Rangers are going to try to win every game because that's what they do and that's what their coach is going to want. Quinn is going to push them to win and actually that's what you should want your coach to do. It's also why a lot of fans are caught up in this contradiction between wanting to win and lose games at the same time. Basically I'm fine when they do win but I'm also okay when they don't figuring on the better draft position. It's one of those years.

Tonight’s game vs Chicago is really interesting in the standings.
If we are to lose tonight (and Saturday in Boston) our month would be 2-8-0 going into 1/29 v PHI and 1/31 in Jersey.

If we can somehow lose our next 4, that would put us in a great position. Unfortunately, Chicago, Philly and NJ all suck as much or more than we do.

I think we may have the worst D in the league... it’ll be interesting to see if Chicago will “find their game” against the likes of Staal, Kirk, Skjei and Lindgren on his 2nd game... not to mention whoever is in on the 3rd pair... did ADA piss of Quinn even tho he scored 2?

Very bad tank night and the Devils are pure garbage. I've said it all along even if they somehow end up ahead of us they are not much better than we are (not sure they are even better than us). I know we are not getting a top 2/3 pick this year but as long as the Devils/Flyers don't get it either I will be ok with it.
Sure looked like our d wasn't the worst in the league tonight or is Chicago really that bad. Probably more of the latter.
As bad as I want Hughes, Kakko, Pod, Cozens, Dach, Kokko, Zegras, and Byram... Turcotte could very well have the most explosive career. This kid is a freak.
Can you really go wrong picking in the top-5 this year? I don’t think so. Top-7? Top-9?!
There’s also very good value in the mid teens-20’s. Such a great draft class.
Give me one of those 9 and a dman like Broberg and I’m ecstatic. We could go goalie with the rest of our pics and I’ll still be pleased.

I think that its pretty cool all these teams are trying to win. No one has really pulled the rip cord yet.

Testament to how dumb we are.
Hayes being kept out is the smartest thing we’ve done and now we’ve won 2 in a row.
That Chytil goal was worth it tho

Sometimes I wish I was a kid again in the 80s/early 90s when some of my teams stunk but I didn't know anything about a draft pick or team building and I could just fully enjoy any minor accomplishments the team or a player had. Ignorance was truly bliss.
In all likelihood we're not getting a top 3 pick and 4-10 is stacked with talent.... I say enjoy the wins. Can't control what's happening on the ice, so why be f***ing miserable about it
Not miserable about it, slightly peeved that this franchise has two top 5 picks(both 4th overall) since 1967, 50 years.

Just a reminder...the Rangers are still closer to worst overall than making the playoffs.

For those of you thinking we will tank after the sell off....remember all these other pure garbage teams around us will be selling to. I am telling you we will regret feeling good about winning a game here or there in January. I don't mind looking good and being a fun team, but I do mind when we start going on these small winning streaks. We are currently picking 10th as of this morning. Bad tank.
I can talk myself into losses being good when we're outside of games. I understand the importance of adding premium talent to our prospect cupboard. I really do get it, and agree that it is best.
When the games start and I see our guys playing hard, going all out--guys I've come to love like Kreider, Zibs, Zucc, a semi-rejuvenated Staal, and of course Hank--I can't root against them. I'm all in favor if losing every game from here on out, except when the puck drops. Them I'm rooting for the guys.
An exception is when they come out looking like hot diarrhea, in which case I can turn the game off and say, "well, good thing they're gonna lose tonight." But if they come out looking hungry, I'm all in. I can't help it. My heart won't allow it.
