Biggest Ranger killers?

I thought this thread was more about guys who were not huge scorers but always killed the Rangers. Like a Druce, Tonelli, Creighton, Dougie Brown, etc. Lemieux and Jagr were Ranger killers, but they killed almost every team they came across.

Bondra scored 500 NHL goals.

Well, the OP said not huge scorers and then named Simon Gagne. If Gagne had played as many games as Bondra, he would have been around a 400 goal scorer in his career. Given the times in which each player played (Bondra pre-dead puck), they're probably pretty close to equals in this regard.

I still take issue with people saying John Druce "always" killed the Rangers. He did it once. The same will probably hold true for Torey Krug, in the long run.

Ryan Carter is a real good answer right now, for an inexplicable player. Doug Brown is an interesting one. 160 goals in 850 games for his career, so 15 per 82. Against the Rangers, in the regular season, 13 in 45. Almost double the scoring rate.

Good points, especially on Druce. It was one playoff. Krug will likely be the same.

Yeah I wouldn't necessarily put Gagne on that list either, he did play with Roenick, Forsberg and others when he was killing us, not like it was only him on those Flyer teams.

9 goals in 6 games. Two game winners.

van Riemsdyk might have grown up a Rangers fan, but I feel like he scores EVERY time we play his team, whether it was the Flyers or the Leafs.

You don't have to remind me. When I was 16 I got that bums autograph 2nd to last game of the season before that playoff, I jinxed the whole damn thing

But it was still only one series. Lots of guys have killed us in one playoff.

Really cannot have this type of conversation without naming Kerry Fraser.

Another name of players that always seemed to play bigger and better against the Rangers......Peter Zezel.

Yes, the prince of darkness Kerry Frasor and any recently called up rookie AHL goalie.

 

[nikonsniper*]

Any callup goalie from the ECHL.


Seriously, i don't know why any team would put in their starter against us

 

[Kocur Dill]

Asham playing for NJ, NYI, and Pitt has scored some ill/well timed (perspective) goals against us in his career.

 

[mti79]

Elias always seemed to score against us.

PAP on the Piles is a good choice and there was another Isle that killed us... Only scored against us it seemed and I can't think of his name. (Comeau... thanks to an earlier post)

Bondra, Chimaera and Semin are good choices.

I know he may be in the "elite" category, but Kessel seems to score every freaking game.

 

[wafflepadsave]

anyone looking for their 1st NHL goal, 1st NHL Point, either in their 1st NHL game or after being called up is usually a Rangers killer.



any 3rd or 4th line scrub Carter, Bernier, Mike Rupp (scored hat trick vs Rangers) Vitale, Craig Adams, Jason Chimera, Joel Ward.


any unknown goalie (not top prospect) but some unknown from the AHL in their first few NHL games or even an ECHL goalie remember Mike Brodeur shutsout the Rangers, where is he now?? LMAO

All good examples. Looking closer to home, how about sather or dolan?

 

[Florida Ranger]

Chimera is a bigger threat than Ovechkin when playing the Rangers.

I think the same thing.

It seems like all of his goals are game winners.
