This is pure comedy coming from a Rangers fan. One cup in he last how many decades ?
Rangers fans have the lowest expectations out of any fanbase. Being better than the Devils and Islanders has been good enough to keep their fans happy.
You're both just ignoring facts at this point.


6th most playoff wins since the lockout, will surely pass the Sharks and most likely the Hawks in the next 2 seasons as well.

"Better than the Devils keeps us happy"? You haven't even been worth a single thought in our head for a decade at this point (except when we see you in our postseason GDT, the extent of your playoff rooting for all these years).

You're barely top 5 in our list of biggest rivals.

No being better than the Devils is a GIVEN.

If you get 49 shots on your opponent you're going to win far more likely than you lose.

All together, they have outshot opponents by +35 over the past three games yet are 0-2-1.

Long season, shit happens.

This after Devils fans were a solid 25% of non-Rangers fans posts in every one of our postseason GDT for the last decade?
The younger ones maybe. I watched the Devils win all of their cups. I remember when the Devils went like 20-0-1 against the Rangers over the span of a few seasons. Theres no envy or jealousy from me. Just jokes.

Wow playoff wins. That would be impressive if it led to something actually important.

Not playing badly at all, just not getting the breaks at the moment. Long season and you’re gonna have ruts but now they have a rough run of games so they better snap out of it before it snowballs.

This is a great way to tell everyone your age without actually revealing your age. Anyone older than ~30 would have a pretty different timeline of Devils vs Rangers...

It's okay to be obsessed with the Devils. It doesn't make you a lesser person or a lesser Rangers fan, just an unhappy one if the Devils are good. Same applies vice versa. Why bother making choices that make you unhappy?

(Meanwhile despite all of those playoff wins, which team between the two has the most SCF wins over that timespan? The Devils...)

Rags fans pumping their chests out is always cute, you’d think all that amazing success and built in advantages they’d have more than 1 Cup they needed half the Oilers dynasty to win for them over 82 years.

Broooo says the fan of a team that has an entire wall in the concession stand dedicated to a playoff win.. that lead.. to... nothing important.

...I'm more confused why you are talking about events that happened 20+ years ago.

Congrats - once the Rangers pass the Sharks they can officially hold the title of "Most playoff games won since the lockout without winning a Cup"

Just saying how can "being better than the Devils is enough to keep us satisfied" when we've been better than every team in the league except 4.

The Devils being at the bottom of that list.

No more relevant than being better than the Dallas Stars or Florida Panthers.

If we are really passing along Congratulaions- I guess one is in order for you.

Congrats on your first December main board thread. Now you get to actually talk about Devils hockey instead of obsessively arguing that the Rangers don't deserve credit for developing Adam Fox.

I'm more confused why you are so proud the Rangers have been so mediocre over the past 20 years. Winning the 4th most playoff games with only winning 2 SCF games isn't really the badge of honor you think it is..

I'm more confused why I am wasting my time talking so someone as dumb as you that used "mediocre" and "winning the 4th most playoff series" in back to back sentences.

I am also confused as to why you insist on spending so much time arguing about a team that you claim "hasn't been worth a single thought in your head" for the past decade.

Almost seems like you kinda think of them a lot?

Long Island Ducks arrogance, Newark Bears success.

Must be tough knowing the Devils have been more successful than the Rangers have. Even with all those amazing playoff wins you can’t win a cup, sad.

Devils aren’t even among the rags top 5 rivals according to him 😂

Well I guess it makes sense if one of those rivals is “winning cups”

A lot of dumbass-ery in this thread I see. Time to steer it back on topic a bit...

As a Rangers fan, I have no problem admitting the Devils are good. The Rangers had to come back to beat them the other night, so it wasn't like it was an easy win. I don't blame Devils fans for feeling arrogant this season, they haven't had much to cheer about for the past decade since their run to the Cup in 2012. Like all teams, they're just in a slump right now, they'll be fine. There's too many bad/inconsistent teams for them to miss the playoffs at this point.

So much time, you mean as in a few posts in one thread on a Friday morning in which I took off work to go to Avatar in a few hours?

It's also been borderline impossible to not think about a team that emails me every single morning. I hope the $1 they spent on buying my email address from Ticketmaster was worth it.

Secure Stanley Cup Playoff ticket priority.

Don't let Zdeno Chara get his hands on that email. He'll tell a story on a podcast in a few years how the Devils practiced selling playoff tickets in December.

LOL - and nothing of significance to show for it. There have been 11 different franchises to win the Cup since the lockout. None of those fans are switching spots with the supposed 5th best team since then.

If we are really passing along Congratulaions- I guess one is in order for you.

Huh? I've never commented on Adam Fox, let alone made anything close to the argument you're suggesting, so what the hell does this have to do with me?

I do agree you are wasting your time. Stop obsessing over the Devils. You're so proud of your team yet so much of it is built upon how they are doing vs the Devils that you run into every Devils-related thread armed with graphics to prove superiority. It's pathetic..

Yea most sane people will just block an email they don't want to receive every day. Weird your subconscious doesn't want you to do that..
