Totti's recap:

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

I still don't know how he went from a PPG player to a 110+ point (pace) player.

On the next episode of Rangers of our Lives...

I’m guessing Lemieux and DeAngelo for sure. They are the only 2 of note that are not in the locker room anymore

Hank? I'd imagine it would be hard for someone like Trouba to "take charge" with Hank still around.

Devils are so bad. They should mess around with that third pair these next two games. Bench one of Hajek or Smith or both and try out Jones and whoever else.

Great win, shame they have gone 6-2-2 in their last ten and only made up 1 point on Boston in those ten games, guess they just have to keep winning.

I don't even understand it lol. I mean Boston was missing both goalies 2/3 of their defense and we only made up 1 point. my goodness

 

[Tob]

Vally talking shit cus he's got the goalie guild to fall back on if the players he's throwing under the bus start beef with him.

What about Quenneville? I guess he was young.

Or Howden to the bench. None of the above will happen.
Also why did DQ change every line in the third? to get Kreider going?

yeah he was still learning the tricks of the trade from Kaner

Playing for Tortorella probably didn't help. Laine has had a hard time producing much in that system.

To be fair 6-2-2 is good but not amazing. I remember we had a 12-2 stretch in 2011-2012 and we had like four 5 game winning streaks that season. Great stretches for good teams are 8-2-0 or better IMO.

The correct answer is to get himself going. He's fidgety if he's not line blendering.

 

[will1066]

The goals will come for the kids line soon. They're so close, one play away from making it happen. Shoot instead of attempting one extra pass

Avs fan coming in peace.

The Rangers have always been one of my favourite Eastern Conference teams. Their uniforms are great (not the ones they wore tonight, the normal ones) and the goal horn is pretty sweet.

Boy, what a young talented team you guys have. I think the Rangers are going to be an elite team for a long time with the talent on the roster and in the system.

I’ve been watching some of the games recently and man, when this team is on they’re pretty damn good.

Hope to see you guys push into the playoffs and make some noise.

Howden sitting is just not going to happen so we can forget about that, but our third pairing honestly cannot get worse. Smith and Hajek are both no good and on top of that they just can't seem to build any chemistry with each other. Also, as much as I love Miller he is killing our 2nd pp unit. If Quinn is gonna put that 2nd unit to start off a pp then they should replace Miller with Laf. I can somewhat understand having two ds on the 2nd unit when they are out towards the very end of the pp but if you're starting the 2nd unit throw Laf out there. Should I just start coaching instead of Quinn?

Strome

 

[SnowblindNYR]

Anyone else feel like these two shutouts will propel Igor too the next level? The way he reacted last game to the shutout you could see it was actually weighing on him somewhat.

 

[PuckLuck3043]

The Rangers are out here flaunting their goal differential that would be significantly different if you removed the three 8+ goal games lol

yeah and every team has 2-3 games that skew that number. It's still impressive.

 

[CLW]

Kid line gets stuck with Hajek/Smith and gets punished for their inability to get out of the zone.

Chytil is not yet strong enough to drive a line in a meaningful way and a basic forecheck pins them down, especially as you say when they get Hajek/Smith behind them. Time to break the kid line up, but Quinn won't.

The Rangers need better puck management and higher tempo AS A TEAM. We know they are fantastic off the rush and Panarin is a genius, but they really struggle with basic play a lot of the time.

 

[rdhstlr23]

Just wanted to drop in and reiterate how much of a f***ing turd Lindy Ruff is. I hope the Rangers absolutely drill them Saturday and Sunday.

That was bull****

 

[SnowblindNYR]

Sometimes I wonder if Rangers fans are actually Rangers fans. It's like they're looking for an excuse to shit on the team.

a) We only had one game with comical goal differential. The other two games we won by 5 and 4 goals. Not something out of the ordinary.

b) Believe it or not it takes talent to beat an NHL team 9-0, much less one that has a winning record.

c) I don't see anyone taking out the three games we lost by 4 goals.

d) No we don't have games where we lost by more than 4 goals that comically skews our goal differential. Some would view that as a positive that we can blow teams out but we rarely ever get blown out and never comically. Maybe that's a credit to the team?

e) Will we take out Washington's 6-0 win against Buffalo? Or the Islanders 7-2 win against the Bruins?
