Just happy Quinn is putting Smith on D when their is an injury as insurance. Beginning of the year he (or Ruff) kept stubbornly play 5 D.
Smith in relief duty hasnt been a liability either.

I have to say: that Devils team is dreadful. I get that Hughes is out, but boy that team looks bad. I mean, what do they do well?
It is rather amazing just how bad they are. And the trade for Subban looks awful. Simmer's signing does not look great either.
Just cautionary tales of how rebuilds can go wrong. Just look at Detroit. Great young players. Staring at 3rd year out of the playoffs and being the worst team in the NHL in a long, long time.
Probably depends on your age. I detest the Isles. No matter how bad they were, I still hated them. I dislike the Devils, but actually not at a level at which I detest the Flyers.
You have not been watching hockey for a long time, have you?

I remember their glory days, but they've been horrible for all but 1 year this entire decade and there's no end in sight

hey hanrahan!
They looked like a team that was still going through the cuts on the roster. Man they are bad.

That is quite a bit of different than making a statement that that has always been the case.

I neither care how irrational the feeling is, nor do I care how "woke" society ever becomes, but I will never support the f***ing Islanders ever.
To this day, when I even see someone wearing Islander merchandise, I already don't think well of them.

There are certain games people will always remember. This game vs the Devs will be one of them. Not just for Tony D. I felt like a corner was turned.

Yea...wasn't meant to be taken so literally. No team in professional sports will suck for the entirety of their existence
Some are closer than others. The Devils years of being a powerhouse are not that far back in history. It's not like they are the Cleveland Browns.

I agree with all except the Flyers' hate. I have a few Flyers friends and we talk hockey and get along. Plus, I've always had a lot of respect for Bobby Clarke. Plus, their fans are pretty diehard like we are, not bandwaggoners.
This does not have much to do with their fans, but players that put the jersey on. Dave Brown, Tim Kerr, Rinaldo, Clarke, whomever. The second someone put that orange on, they became an instant douche.

Response appropriate from a newbie, not someone who has been around hockey futures for a decade and a half.

May as well throw in the Caps and Penguins too...I feel the same on about them all . Caps probably more than anyone after watching Ovie run Staal and Girardi every single game the last few years without retaliation . I guess Habs could be included too....for some reason as a Ranger fan I have a lot of built up hate LOL......

I had equally good vibes about this game. Sure, they didn't play great D, and allowed 40+ shots on net, but Shesty stood tall. It was a good test for him.
The Devils didn't play well, but they had plenty of net front presence, and threw a lot of pucks at net, making it as difficult as they could for the rookie.
Surprising Tony D never had a hat trick before. Not even in juniors. Leetch was the last Rangers D-man to score a hat trick in the 95 playoffs. Leetch never had a hat trick during the regular season.

Hospodar....and it is really surprising how many guys played with both Rangers and Flyers...especially tough guys . That might involve a whole separate post. There was a whack of them in the 80's.
