I missed game three but game four was inexcusable but this game and game one were there for the taking and he shit the f***ing bed in both. I'm sorry the roster isn't as good as Florida's but if you can make circus saves all game you can make saves on routine shots.

listen i'm sure you're a good guy but you are consistently wrong and many of us are embarrassed by the fact that your opinions reflect on the rest of us.

Try watching other nhl teams play. Our goaltending is consistently better than you'd get from anyone else.

It's the NHL. Scoring happens. Stop being a terrible Rangers fan..

Bottom two lines give the Rangers nothing offensively most nights (other than Goodrow's unsustainable shooting percentage heater) leaves the Rangers at a disadvantage against a deep team like Florida. Drury will have more work to do than you'd expect on a Presidents trophy-winning roster. the flaws eventually show themselves against top competition. Can't blame the coaching when it feels like Laviolette is playing chess with significantly fewer pieces than his opponent. With Mika and Bread's goal scoring gone cold, there's not much to the Rangers attack beyond Kreider, trocheck and Laf.
 
Our D has really taken a step back or they're banged up. They have generated zero offense. Somehow Trouba has as many points as Fox. Bum knee, it's still embarassing.

I feel bad for Zibanejad.

Commence with the personal attacks because you built this guy up and didn't listen to the people who told you he was a 2C for an eternity and a half.

And guess what? Vincent Messier fell from the sky and now ZIBANEJAD IS OUR f***ING 2C!!!!

Does it matter? No. We're still not getting it done because the top of the lineup isn't the problem.

Everyone said Colorado's core was just a loser. They got a bunch of really effective depth and won the Cup.

Say all you want about Mika, not going to defend him but the notion that Trocheck all of a sudden is a 1C is baffling. He barely outscored Mika in what was arguably his worst season as a ranger and cant play defence for shit. He is constantly out of position and looks lost everytime his line gets scored on.

Punt Mika into the sun for all I care and if that somehow by some miracle makes the team better I am all for it. After all, I cheer for logo on the chest not the nameplate on the back but I do believe those of you who think Trocheck is the better player and the teams 1C are up for a rude awakening.

I am too stupid to give up on this team so on to the next game i guess....

I’m far happier stepping away a bit. As someone that has experienced real, true mental health crises (including suicidal ideations), I sincerely suggest to anyone seemingly overly upset to step back.

I’ve dealt with a lot in the last 4 years. Watching a parent waste away in front of your eyes all while getting f***ed by opportunistic scumbags in my profession (literally taking advantage of my moms state in hospice and finally “shivving” me literally during her funeral - I’m not kidding on that; I was cut out literally while I was burying my mom).

So I decided to not let sports matter. Why bother getting upset? I’d rather get upset at individual losers who say dumb shit than something I have zero impact on.

It’s different for everyone. But take it from someone who is lucky to be around today that touching grass, logging off, and tuning out is worth it sometimes.

YMMV, friends. Love all (ok, well, most) of you. Been a fun ride this year and however it ends it ends.

It's hard to stay upset for this stuff these days. Guys did what they could given their abilities and structure, they just came up short. I hope the younger fans will get to see one eventually, but not much we can do. Enjoy the ride, and hope they're competitive. At least they're not the Mets! LOL

It's called the salary cap, brother. The Florida teams have been cheating it for years with their team friendly deals and no state income tax on 41 games. It's not a coincidence that Vegas and both Florida teams are perenially in the conversation if not winning the cup.

I've stated this about a hundred times well before the series, so no, it's not a "because we're losing" thing. It's a fact.

Chris Drury... this is on you brother. Just like every other year. You went out and went bargain bin shopping because you didn't want to outbid Carolina for Guentzel or pay for Vatrano. Jack Roslovic and Alex Wennberg... not good enough my dude. Said it at the deadline and it's rearing it's ugly head. We are literally a Guentzel or Vatrano type away from getting it done

Frank Vatrano and Guentzel makes us cup winners sure. If we had them we could easily support one goal from Kreider, Zibanejad and Panarin.

Yes it does. Regular season is one thing but a playoff game is different. Go down with the ship.

Brother we've already loaded up the boats on the Titanic. You might be the last dude playing the violin. Jack has already slipped deep into the water. Its over.
 
By the way. If you really want to piss off the f***ing rejects on HFNJD, don’t let a loss bother you. That board melts down like Three Mile Island.

It’s just a bunch of children.

Who the f*** cares? 😂

Trocheck already has a demonstrably bigger role than Zibanejad and we got this far with it.

18th time out of the rangers 42 playoffs games since 2022 that they were below 40% xG for the game at 5v5. This core group is the most overrated sack of shit in the league.
Pathetic showing.

Also if game 3 didn’t open your eyes because of the rangers winning the game on how this series was going to go I don’t know what to say.

I'm tired of hearing that excuse. Teams that are serious about winning just cheat when it comes to the cap.

Say Trouba's pancreas ruptured due to a bee allergy. Cap cleared.

The “step back” was playoff scouting on how god awful we are at zone exits and teams going all out with a forecheck against it.

It didn’t happen in the regular season because teams don’t change their tactics much based on team matchups in the regular season. In the playoffs, it’s everything.

Carolina exposed it late in our series. Florida has done it all series.

Neither are a difference maker at this point. In a series like this, Brodzinski was the move once Vesey went out.

You are probably right but its just weird we decided to try and develop the novelty/gimmick player over the guy who has the tools to be a traditional good 4th line player

I love Rempe but last 2 games he seems gassed. It’s a lot to take in for a rookie.

Kakko once again is mostly useless. Should drop to line 4.

Next game would like to see in bottom 6:
Cuylle - Wennberg - Roslovic

Kakko - Goodrow - Brodzienski
