Everyone’s a loser, until they aren’t.
The Rangers have better odds to win next years Cup than the current Cup winners btw

Does the NHLPA have a store that sells blondes for these guys to shop at? All their wives look identical to one another.
Happy for Vegas but that has to be the worst NHL playoffs in a long time.
Pretty much every single series sucked.

Do you mean 2005-2006 when you write 2005? If so the Canes won that year and had Doug Weight.

late, and by that time, too late and into the off season. he got other offers and took it because he felt the Rangers didn't value him.

Disappointing finals. A worse version of the 1996 Cats - Avs final. Yikes.
While Jonathan Marchessault signed with Columbus for a better shot at the NHL (which he never really got there either), Rangers brass (and many here!) thought the more promising 5'9" player in the system was Christian Thomas.
And also don't forget, you can't teach size, that's why the other LWs in NYR system that year and following did so well. I hope they have room in the rafters for:
- Aaron Voros - 6'4
- Brandon Mashinter - 6'4
- Wojtek Wolski - 6'3
- Nick Palmieri - 6'3
- Marek Hrivik - 6'2
The other one that got away was Barclay Goodrow. He had an ATO with the Whale (ugh, when they were the f*&king WHALE) and they ultimately did not play/sign.

Tom Brady 4-3 in SBs without Patriot cheating
Oh are we doing the thing where we all live in the realm of unrealistic expectations?!?!?
I was hoping that Ben Harpur would turn out to be Chris Pronger!
on a serious note, of ALL the players to crap on, there are maybe 2 on this team who are less deserving than Kreider and neither of them are forwards.

I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t jealous of Vegas. 6 years in the league, 4 conference finals appearance, 2 SCF appearances with 1 cup to show for it.
Meanwhile we’re over here struggling to win 1 cup every 80 years

Had the Rangers decided to build their team the same way Vegas did this place would have gone full @mas0764
They gave up a ton to get Pacioretty who they had to give away for free
They gave up less to get Stone and then signed him to a big deal, he's missed a ton of time.
They gave up a decent haul for Eichel, who needed pretty significant surgery and has continued to miss a decent amount of time.
They handed out a big UFA contract to Pietrangelo who has been pretty bad for them.
They have zero first round picks on their roster and one one of their own draft picks overall. I get that being an expansion team means that they started from a different base (and some of those guys were impactful) but to have one home grown player 6 years in? Could you imagine had that happened here lol.
It would be nice if the Rangers got out of Panarin what Vegas has gotten out of Stone in the playoffs.

I dont understand your Goodrow reference. The Whale moved to Carolina 25 years ago.....they gave him an ATO when he was 5?

Person is talking about the Connecticut Whale, which was what the Rangers AHL affiliate was called for 2 seasons.
