[JESSEWENEEDTOCOOK]

Better shot than Nash

 

[DanielBrassard]

I don't watch the games with rose colored glasses on.

Huh? What you responded to me lol, not this.

 

[LeetchisGod]

Better shot than Nash

Gilroy had a better shot than Nash.

 

[PuckLuck3043]

Nice!! Would have sucked to have lost that period on the scoreboard. Dominated that period.

 

[Bob Richards]

Grabner?

That guy f***ing slaps

 

[Macbanan]

Well deserved goal! Glad they didn't give up after that demoralizing second goal

 

[DanielBrassard]

Re-sign Grabner, trade Zuccarello.

Trade Grabner for a 1st, Trade Nash for a 1st.

 

[Embryo]

So if we win this game, will you all admit to having egg on your face and eat some crow for those of us who are optimistic about this team?

 

[bl02]

Trade Grabner for a 1st, Trade Nash for a 1st.

I think its becoming more and more apparent that we are not getting that kind of value for nash

 

[NCRanger]

They gave up two ****ty avoidable goals and have been unable to convert on chances, until Grabner. It's only natural that people will be frustrated.

The first goal was terrible on multiple fronts.

The second goal was pure bad luck. Not a “turnover”.

Holtby has been typically ridiculous against the Rangers.

This has not been a bad game.

 

[Siddi]

I totally disagree, but what can you do.

Nothing else we can do than agree to disagree.

Now lets win this!

 

[dannyfinn22]

Still can't figure out what Kreider is doing out there , maybe the trade isnt official..
Habs ship Galchenyuk and a 2018 2nd rounder to the Blueshirts for Chris Kreider..

 

[NickyFotiu]

I know it's ridiculous to say this in the month of December but if we let this game get away I don't see this team being in the playoffs. It'll take a miracle for us to make it.

That is not like you. This game on Dec 8 isn't a must win. We want to win them all but we still have 70% of our games to play.

 

[Boruto]

As a piece that puts teams over the top, Nash is definitely that. Plays all three zones, PK, PP, EV, and a power forward of sorts. Lots of GMs are hoot hoot for power forwards.

You know this is a very highly skilled team, this isn't the Florida Panthers (who we should have beaten, I know)

 

[LeetchisGod]

What does them winning or losing a meaningless regular season game in Dec have to do with anything? I want to see this team win another cup before I die. Nothing they have shown so far this season makes me think that they are capable of that.

 

[Embryo]

Re-sign Grabner, trade Zuccarello.

lol based on these 2 periods against the Caps? Or are you joking?

 

[NickyFotiu]

Ever since I moved to Austria, Grabner is on fire

I had a feeling you were the reason

 

[Boruto]

What did we give up for Eric Staal? I don't want to look it up and bring back the cringe.

 

[LeetchisGod]

What did we give up for Eric Staal? I don't want to look it up and bring back the cringe.

I keep trying to forget that he ever wore the uniform. What a debacle.

So do I. And I disagree. Get this team into the playoffs, and we can make another run. I know it's a strange comparison but look at the NY Giants....you just need to get in the playoffs. The Rangers are a playoff team, and when they get to the playoffs, they can beat anyone. We've already done it in the regular season. Did anyone expect us to beat Montreal last year in the first round? That was an upset. We can do it again, and go further. Did you think we'd get to the Finals in 2014? Did they SHOW you that they were capable of that in 2014 and 2015 when we got to the ECF back to back?

 

[Boruto]

Largely a joke but broken apart, there's merit to the idea if Grabner can come relatively affordable since he's thriving here and he likes NY a lot. Trading Zucc as he's due for a final 6-year shapow contract at 31.5 next off season isn't a bad idea either.

 

[Embryo]

Don't bother, and don't bring it up again, please. We got screwed losing Oscar, also.

Come on man. Get out of here with this lol.
Made my heart skip a few beats

Whatever gives the team the best chance to win. I'm done getting emotionally attached to players...I used to love Jed Ortmeyer and Petr Prucha...that was a long time ago and I was a lot younger.
