We will win tonight and already beat these f***ers what’s gotten into some of you? This team were playing hasn’t won a playoff round in how long? We just were whooping them 4-0 the first time we played let’s f***ing go rangers

Everyone loves a good curb-stomping before a break. This is going to be very ugly and curiously fascinating

I think the Rangers are performing better than what was expected and thus, it's accelerated gossip around them in terms of being good or bad, when the bottom line is they weren't expected to be good so quickly regardless.

I don't like how the narrative sometimes gets changed just so people can give hot takes. The Rangers are one year removed from the bulk of their rebuild. The fact that they're competing for a playoff spot so quickly is a bonus. It shouldn't be a gripe that gets twisted. If they aren't good still, that's par for the course. Why treat it any differently?

It's as if they're victims of their unexpected and premature success. There's still no rush or urgency to be good. One year removed from a rebuild? Geez.

 

[mike14]

Also we should start Georgiev just because we can...

 

[CupSeeker]

Cannot be optimistic; going to the game.

Hypothetical- 43 shots for Fla, and we lose 4-3 but Rangers Twitter: IgOr StIlL UnDeFeAtEd WhEn MaKiNg 40+ SaVeS

After literally being called "not very good" by other NHL executives and scouts, basically, peers, one would HOPE that they would show a very strong effort tonight. Right?... Right?...

There's no point. The sky is falling.

Sounds like this executive posts on the NYR board.

Yea up 4-0 until Igor had to clench tight to keep from shitting himself. The irony is that he then gave up 5 hole goal(s?) despite squeezing those cheeks!

I’m so confused with the streaming options.

If I have the standard version of Hulu (not the Live TV plan) without the ESPN+ add on, can I watch this game?

No. You'll need the ESPN+ add on

Igor is gonna squeeze those cheeks tonight too but we’re still going to win. Big games from Panarin and Trouba coming up

LOL!

I hate when folks harp on the same thing multiple times a minute in here, and I could care less about being outshot like some, but I do care about xGF (shot quality metric) and I believe we get badly beat in that stat most nights as well so the executive and negative nancies have a point…

Not only do we win tonight.

We blow them out of the water.

 

[Larrybiv]

debating if I want to watch this

I am really frightened for our team tonight. Our catatonic offense playing against an offensive powerhouse, oh yeah and throw in no Adam.
Who knows? Maybe that supposed thrashing from GG will get them in sync. Panthers played and scored 8 last night, so there's that. Might only have 1 bullet left in that 9 millimeter.

Thank you, coming from an outsider looking in. Lately two "gripe" narratives dominate: kids' development and very weak 5v5 performance. They're intertwined. I can surely say that if Lafreniere, Kakko and Chytil were playing better and had better numbers, there would be less time for us to laser focus on the top four's 5v5 style and play.

I think there are very few people who straight up hate this year's team. Most are appreciative of the team's position right now and are just worried whether it's sustainable, especially come playoff time.

HFNYR Signs EdJovo as EBUTS

NEW YORK--The New York Rangers forum of HF Boards (HFNYR) signed EdJovanovski to be its emergency back-up game-day thread starter. After inking the one-day contract, EdJovo filled in for Loffen and backup thread starter Leonardo87 after both became unavailable.

HFNYR had approximately five hours remaining before puck drop to have a GDT posted for the Rangers-Panthers contest at 7 p.m. Eastern. EdJovo quickly stepped in as the EBUTS. "We play in five hours. Why no thread," he said. "Can't take any chances around here."

EdJovo did not provide any lineups or game-day information when he started the thread.

EdJovo remains in a fight with Machinehead over starting post-game threads.

Sounds like you covered most of it. But did you interview EdJovo and Machinehead for this article ? Some additional quotes would have been nice.

Machinehead was asleep and could not be reached for comment

These are very valid points that you should address in a Letter to the Editor.

IGOR will remember losing in Florida, 1st game back. You could tell he was rusty and lost a tough one. Tonight, there will be no rust. Payback baby!

 

[NYRFANMANI]

The Machinehead meme is the only thing keeping me from putting EdJo on timeout. lol

We're missing two of our best players, I won't sweat the outcome.

If anything, looking forwards to HYNYR imploding on Lundell's play and the memes.
