Seeing the rangers so often struggle to score I’m always frustrated watching some of the flaky ass goals that get scored by other teams. I know logically the rangers score some goofy goals but when I see those randos I’m eating my heart out a bit.

Not at all what I said. Hughes was off to an MVP caliber start. Panarin has been our best player this season. Fox has been good but not Panarin level so far. Shesty has been mediocre by his standards. Chytil hasn't scored a goal yet. Hischier is also injured by the way. No team in the league doesn't experience a major drop in play without their top two centers.

You said to be fair the Devils are without Jack Hughes. They are and it's a big loss but boo-hoo. Adam Fox is also a huge loss and was having a fantastic season with 11 points in 10 games. He is also irreplaceable. Shesty was having a good season, sorry, and now Quick is out and caused the team to use their 3rd string goalie the other night. Chytil had only 6 assists but it's still a loss and throws things out of whack with both Bonino and Goodrow playing center. My point is I'm not going to have any "Sympathy for the Devil" when my team is also experiencing multiple significant injuries. They can call Mick Jagger for some.

I have no sympathy for the Devils. I'm merely stating facts about Hughes' importance to their team.

Rangers flying under the radar. Hockey pundits talking up Florida (playing well despite two injured defensemen.
Vancouver playing well despite us beating them head to head.
Talking up Tampa with Vasilevskiy out.
No love for us. Laughable

There's no world in which we deserved the game against Vancouver. We won, but we didn't look good doing it.

I think Leo Carlsson has been better than Connor Bedard. Verbeek wasn't wrong picking Carlsson over Adam Fantilli. Verbeek felt Carlsson had more upside.



Carlsson is very good.

NHL having a superstar named Leo has to please the sponsors. He's making me put on Anaheim games.

Tell it to the NHL. My social media is a 24/7 Bedard circle-jerk. I get it, kinda, but yeeesh…
 
The Red Wings are 2nd in the Atlantic division. Thanksgiving is 12 days away. NHL teams look at American Thanksgiving when looking at their playoff chances. It was 77% of the teams in playoff spots at American Thanksgiving made the playoffs in the cap era a couple of years ago. It's probably in the same range. The league seems watered down. The Rangers have an opportunity if Drury makes the right moves and some of the Rangers players have good playoff performances. Panarin. Zibanejad. The cap has drained teams of their depth and they don't have much space to fix their flaws. Some teams have flawed goalies. Carolina. They can't defend. Toronto has flawed goalies and they can't defend. Colorado was better in their Cup year. No Landeskog. No Kadri. No Burakovsky. No Compher. Tatar and Drouin haven't been good. Johansen was given away at 50% retention.
