Well said. That's one thing for damn sure...NO ONE can doubt the heart or pride of this team of ours.
Yeah we can look like shit for 40 minutes but you just know the next 20 we will be giving the opposition fits.
I can't to be honest recall a game where we ever looked like we just quit and showed no pride or heart.
For this to be the case and for such a young team is a very good trait and it will serve them well going forward when we we are actually a good team...lol

Not sure why cause in my book it has to be MacKinnon or Panarin...I'd lean towards MacKinnon myself, and it's really not even close despite the great years Draisitle, Pastranek, McDavid are having.
Panarin by himself has single handily accelerated the rebuild by a full year and has made Ryan friggen Strome a 70-75 point guy which all by itself should warrant a few extra votes for the Breadman...lol

I'd honestly be surprised if panarin is even a finalist. It's just the narrative around him and the team. But man he sure deserves to be a finalist.
I think we mostly have heart too, I was talking about Columbus though. The entire team is injured and still came back against Vancouver.

It seems like it takes our club two periods to find their legs let alone their heart for some reason . We still are missing a take charge no prisoner kind of player that sets the tempo with physical play right from the drop of the puck and Lemieux attempts that sometimes...but not always very smart at it .

Yeah, if McDavid couldn’t get nominated because the Oilers weren’t in the playoff picture there’s no way Panarin would be
Yeah if we can't beat out the Jackets we aren't passing the Canes/Islanders anyway. Actually, We should be rooting for teams like the Jackets, Jets, Predators, Coyotoes to keep pace just in case we really fall behind the final WC spot. This way we won't be picking the dreaded 15th overall but hopefully get a 11-13th spot.

This is the only way Canadians can process any type of information.

Picture is very misleading. That's just Tokyo on a work day... or hayfever season... or flu season. Sure, the current situation isn't great... but it's not like it's the first time Japanese people wore masks in public.

hes a ranger now, so will get dismissed and shat upon. It doesnt matter that he is hitting career high numbers. he would have done better on any other team in the NHL, just because.

Just a few years ago that's a guy who when the team is playing like shit starts a fight. There aren't a whole lot of players like that anymore who can really play. Lemieux is the closest guy we have to that but he's been quiet for a while---might be a bit banged up. I think the Rangers need to up the physical element of their game but you really have to find guys like that who you can play regularly and will contribute in other areas.

I think Lemieux was told to stay away from that stuff. He could literally skate by an opposing teams player and the refs would call a penalty on him just because he's Lemieux. I do think he took a stupid penalty yesterday trying to start stuff.
They target him just like his father. It's sad.

Yeah..he was not that smart yesterday by any means...certainly not as smart as Lindgren who got about 3-4 decent taps in at the end of the previous game....can't recall seeing that in a Flyer game in years .....enjoyed it though LOL....
What if Shesterkin gets us into the playoffs once healthy? Would he be bn considered for the Hart or not because he didn't play many games???

I’m almost certainly bias but his dad seemed a heck of a lot more dirty then Lemmy. But I was young and did have a seething discontent for him. I remember that playoff series with the big brawl at the end and the next day the back page of the newspaper was Graves punching Lemieux right in the gut. The anguish on Claude’s face will always be implanted in my brain.
