Rangers have not beaten a team in a playoff position since November 8th.

You play whoever is on your schedule

Confirmed that he is indeed an Islander Fan

That would explain him being a douche.

 

[TheBloodyNine]

You play whoever is on your schedule

And your team is measured against who you can beat and who you cannot.

 

[TheBloodyNine]

You care way too much about a random guy on the internet but hey I'm happy I can fill in a part of your life that's missing! You're welcome!

There’s a Matt Gilroy jersey on my train.

 

[KevinFinnerty]

It's cool, I still get to reply to your posts pointing out how dumb they are regardless.

Go clap some cheeks bro. Don’t you have someone in real life to play with your ding aling instead of complaining about the team when they played well enough to win and are 1st in the league? Don’t be a momo

They didn't play well enough to win - they had 2 shots in the third period and lost in a shootout. If you think getting two shots in the third period is "good enough to win" then you've never watched a game of hockey before.

They also aren't first in the league, so there's that too.

But hey, don't let those facts get in the way of your vulgarities cool guy!

Mazel tov. You’ve joined the rest of us that recognize this team isn’t a contender. Let’s enjoy their unexpected early success and see where things go from here.

I don't consider beating up on the bad teams in the league success, but hey that's me.

Thank goodness for your perspective, I was afraid I was having too much fun.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

BTW, we were like an inch away from winning this in regulation. Damn post.

 

[TheBloodyNine]

Personally I find reality a lot more thrilling than fantasy land.

Thrilling? You seem miserable. And over something none of us have control over.

Go get laid instead of being on ignore

Laurent Broissoit from Port Alberni. Dylan Coghlan from Nanaimo. You can really feel my influence in that loss. Sorry.

You realize all good teams do this, right?

There is no option to play only good teams.

Yeah, I'm miserable because my favorite team has one cup in 80 years and counting. I know that pointing out the teams gigantic flaws is not allowed on this board but that is part and parcel of being a Rangers fan. If you're not miserable about this team, are you even REALLY a fan?

 

[TheBloodyNine]

Yeah the good teams also beat the other good teams though, and that's the difference.

You see that, right?

Unless you are 80 years old, this should be irrelevant to your happiness.

You know Chicago, LA, Pittsburgh, and Tampa Bay have all lost games, right? Like..multiple games. Even double digit losses in a single season. And they they even went on to make the playoffs. And then they even lost in the playoffs! And then they got to the Stanley Cup Finals. And then they EVEN LOST IN THE FINALS! But then they still won later.

I know it's crazy, but this team is capable of winning another game. They won't all die and shrivel up because of one loss. It's okay, the sun will rise tomorrow, I promise.

Do you think a team that can't beat the good teams in the regular season is going to beat them in the playoffs?

Wonder how @EdJovanovski's gingerbread house is going

It's not about the wins and losses man. I really don't understand the consternation towards @TheBloodyNine. I get he's antagonizing a bit but I don't see how people can be pleased with the way this team has played at even strength, I just can't. They aren't even a positive goal differential at 5v5, never mind corsi and expected goals where they are at the bottom of the league, and this is with the best goaltending in the NHL. I don't begrudge people for being happy when they win, but the complaining about other people not being satisfied with the way the Rangers are playing is ridiculous. Have we learned nothing from the past? I want this team to win and it's less likely that they do if they are not a good 5v5 team it's that simple.

The Columbus Blue Jackets swept the Tampa Bay Lightning in the playoffs. The Montreal Canadiens won a game against Tampa Bay last year.
