So much garbage on this team
-Goodrow
-Trouba
-Lindgren
-Zib and Kreider (at least at 5 v 5)
Only good thing about this game is Laf having three points. Have him improve his shot next year and replace Mika on the PP with him
He’s very underrated defensively. He’s good on draws. Yes, his goal scoring is alarming down 5 x 5, I can’t defend that, but this guy has been a gem most of his Ranger career. I don’t know why he doesn’t score anymore 5 x 5, I have no answers to that.two way forward? he is a PP and 3 on 3 merchant. he has 8 EV goals. and his defense isn't selke level. Bergeron and Barkov are two way forwards not Mika.
Who cares about hits? Just means when Trouba is on the ice we generally don't have the puck.
He can be effective in the right situation. Too bad Chytil got injured. A line like Kreider-Trocheck-Kakko/Vesey/Cullye could have been pretty good.He shouldnt have been, everyone knows Kreider has no hockey sense.
Makes no sense considering Dallas and Florida exist. Col too.Weird the announcers said it’s them or Vegas with the best D group in the league
Which announcers? The ones paid by the team?Weird the announcers said it’s them or Vegas with the best D group in the league
I don't think any objective person who understands the game can in good faith say the rangers are #1. We all watch a lot of hockey, FLA, COL, DAL, JETS, probably Vegas, Van, Bos and maybe maybe Toronto are a cut above.
Yeah. Luck, randomness, general mediocrity due to the hard cap.I think it moreso gives credence to the fact that there are factors to success in hockey that advanced stats and analytics simply cannot measure.
For the regular season, at least.
Mika is great defensively, but he isn’t our 3rd or 4th line center. His job is to put the puck in the net or help others do so. He isn’t doing that.He’s very underrated defensively.

Says a lot about this sport. None of it is good.
Rangers lost to Ottawa. Shit happens, and the post you are replying to has nothing to do with tonight's game or even whatever their record will end up with when the regular season is over. This team is winning in spite of massive holes on the back of a world class line and good goaltending. Good for regular season points, not good for playoffs.Boston and Vegas got their collective dicks kicked in by Buffalo and the Islanders today.
Everyone needs to step off the ledge after a SO loss..
I think we found another Webster. Does Mika have a brother?Zib is a big time player. He’s there best two way forward. He needs to score more, no denying that but he does a lot of things well. Do you realize that if Laviolette had to pick 10 players to play tomorrow, Trouba would be one of them. You realize that, right? He plays against the other teams best players, he hits everything in site and he’s a plus player.
Makes no sense considering Dallas and Florida exist. Col too.
I just don’t understand how anyone can root for a team that’s having this season and dislike major players.Zibanejad good, Goodrow good, Lindgren good, Trouba good.
Anything else i can post and be wrong about before I go back to using my brain?
CorrectHockey night in Canada . You probably get a different feed. Point is the D is good . The team record proves that enough
I am currently in Canada and watched hnic, missed that comment. It was all Rempe all the timeHockey night in Canada . You probably get a different feed. Point is the D is good . The team record proves that enough
If we replaced the latter three with players that were replacement level or even 1 standard deviation below average we'd be golden. But instead we have 3 plugs that are probably 2-3 standard deviations below average.Zibanejad good, Goodrow good, Lindgren good, Trouba good.

Another fair point. I don’t know why he’s. not scoring goals 5 x 5, I can’t answer thatMika is great defensively, but he isn’t our 3rd or 4th line center. His job is to put the puck in the net or help others do so. He isn’t doing that.
I'm not the one being annoying here. The Positivity Gestapo is so exhausting recently.Man, you can be really annoyingly overdramatic...lol.
The Rangers haven't played like the best team in the leauge, sure....but most teams would kill for our goaltending and some of the talent we have ( a few ndividuals, but also capitializing on it as a team).
Lighten up francis...
Goodrow might go at the deadline.The positive is, they have easy outs on Goodrow and Lindgren this summer, I just don’t trust them to do it, and I can’t even imagine them giving Lindgren an extension.
