laziest team i've ever seen.

I understand not wanting to blow your entire load in the regular season but this is abysmal.

We're obviously still tired from last years run.
And the kids are still mentally scarred from David Quinn's coaching....

 

[BroadwayStorm]

common rangers tie this shit up and win in ot

 

[Chaels Arms]

I would feel better about how this team is constructed if NHL refs actually called playoff games the same way they call the regular season but I'm old enough to know the truth. We're going to clutched, grabbed and bullied into oblivion and the odd power play the refs allow so it doesn't look completely ridiculous isn't going to be enough.

 

[Circus86]

not watching, how has Kane looked? And what happened to Motte?

Watson hit him. His funeral is in two weeks.

 

[hackeyman]

we've played like dog piss for a month

Yes , and if 8-3-1 is dog piss we might win 2 STANLEY CUPS this year when we get on a hot streak !

 

[SnowblindNYR]

Honestly the Rangers cannot go a game without blowing a lead. Every other team fights tooth and nail for leads in the third and we're a guaranteed two goals against.

Looks like someone who is playing on a new team for the first in his career. Motte got elbowed in the head by Watson , Rangers got a 5 min PP.

That’s the most frustrating thing about this team. We never really LOOK good. But we still win. We play like we’re drunk or uninterested for 45 minutes and then find urgency for the final 15 and come away with a win. We start with jump, go to sleep for 30 minutes and then make a push in the final 10. I get it. We still win and win. We’re 6th in the NHL. We’re on a back to back playing with 16 skaters and two of our top-4D missing, and Kane has never played/practiced with the team. Im not saying we’re not insanely frustrating, we’re just not as bad as our GDT overreactions always claim.

of course we're not a bad team. But with all these moves its cup or bust, the bar has been raised.

 

[BroadwayStorm]

hey whatever happened to barry melrose?

 

[Machinehead]

Ah, missed the context in terms of it being about the kids. Thought you were talking about the team as a whole.

Yeah, I'll give you that. Amazing how surefire top line power forward prospects in Lafreniere and Kakko look like Bambi on ice with no plus tools at this level at all despite literally looking like world beaters before putting on a Rangers jersey.

As far as the team goes, they have to play pond hockey to score because they have a terrible puck-moving defense corps and two 4th lines.

A lot of tonight has to do with playing a B2B, shorthanded for 3rd straight game, and down 2 Dmen but Ottawa is going to be a problem in the near future. They are good.

We literally had a come from behind win last night

What about last night? They've actually played much better tonight.

Against Philly.

 

[BroadwayStorm]

I do think the one thing were missing is a nasty dirty sob on defense that people fear.

 

[Cmox]

He's at home combing his mullet.

and counting his remaining teeth

 

[Ori]

[Machinehead]
