People voting for Little Caesars in this poll is 100 times worse than anything any player has done this postseason

I haven’t tried it in America yet, I do suspect it’s a bit different as when I watched a video of Dave Portnoy eating it it has a fairly decent flop to it. The crust looked like actual pizza. The Little Caesers in Canada if you didn’t cut the pizza you could legit hold it by the edge of the crust and the whole pizza would stay flat as a board. The crust is hard as a rock. I would think it’s still bad in America too though, fun fact they don’t actually use just mozzarella cheese. They use some fake mozzarella cheese, I forget the name but it’s known as a cheaper alternative lmao.

Rooney is 100% on Gallant, when he has superior players sitting on the bench. Vatrano is what he is, and has been a good player but he's in over his head and it's hurting ZIbanejad and Kreider because there's no playmaker on that line to get them the puck. There's no good options other than I guess moving Laf back up there so won't blame Gallant there.

I don't disagree with the bolded at all. He has no business playing over ANYONE who is available.

At this point, if Blais can go, I'm throwing him in there. Maybe he gives you nothing, maybe hes worse than Rooney but maybe hes not. But I already know that Rooney sucks and that they won't give Hunt another shot, so at this point why the f*** not?

Yes, that cheaper alternative they use is known as Elmer's Glue here in the U.S.

Agreed, there's no reason to hold him back if he's an option.

First of all, follow the discussion properly instead of just jumping in midway and assuming my argument was comparing Igor to Hank. I wasnt the one who brought up Hank.

My argument was simple. I didnt like any of the goals against tonight and I expect our superstar goalie to steal a game or two.

I'm specifically replying to the argument that "at least he got us there" with Hank and SCF nothing more.

Rooney was only in there tonight as a safety valve. unfortunately, this is how coaches think. If Hunt is in there the first goal never happens. If Goodrow is on the 4th line he can play center and get Rooney out of there. I don't have much hope in having both Reaves AND Rooney out for game 6 just like the kids probably will get about 10 min of ice time instead of 13-15 minutes.

This pizza debate is interesting. Pizza Hut all the way for me. You can’t go wrong with stuffed crust or a pan pizza with extra cheese. That crust is so good with the oil all over it. Domino’s is ok, but the dough isn’t that good and it’s rolled out in all that semolina flour or corn meal then baked in one of those conveyor ovens. Although the cheesy bread is amazing. Pizza Hut is at least in a regular oven. Papa John’s I haven’t had in years because it was just meh. Little Caesars there aren’t any near me. I will say this, with gas prices, inflation, food costs/shortages, I find myself getting Dominos more because they have way better coupons than Pizza Hut which can be pricey.

I absolutely love Pizza Hut, it may be nostalgia as I took a few wonderful trips to Asia as a kid and as a picky little kid who didn’t want to try their local cuisine I’d eat pizza hut and they had pizza huts all over and they were like sit down restaraunts. Also the little Pizza Hut pizzas I had at universal studios as a kid 😍

I think some of you guys may have nostalgia for the old Pizza Hut, I see these pics from the old days it was like a fun family restaraunt type place. Never seen one like this but I see old people post memes about the old pizza hut

Oh, come on.

I think most people here were just settling for the playoffs.

Then it was to just win a playoff series.

Here we are, Game 6 of the ECF.

Win or lose, this season has been a resounding success for the team.

Also, we know what players to keep, what players need to be let go, what players need to improve their game. Sprinkle in the playoff experience, I'm really liking our future.

A lot needs to go right to make a deep run. Coming back from the dead against Pittsburgh and going toe to toe with Carolina and coming up on top helped them get here. Both were far from guarantees to happen, and the Ranger beat significant odds to overcome those two obstacles.

There are no guarantees in this sport. Ever. The window is officially open now, yes, one year early at that, I would say. The way this team's roster is constructed, they're a season ending injury to Shesterkin or Zibanejad away from another lottery pick. Drury still has his work cut out for him in constructing this roster. Even when you make the playoffs, a lot can happen. There's no good matchup for the Rangers. Pittsburgh, Washington, and Carolina are their most likely Round 1 and 2 opponents and would still give the Rangers fits. They're not head and shoulders above them to win it in a sweep or in 5 like Colorado was to their competition. All it takes is a few bounces either way and fortunes change.

Provided this team lucks out on injuries, they SHOULD win the division next year, if not, another 2nd place finish behind Carolina. The X-factors are going to be who's the second line center next year and how much of a step forward Lafreniere and Kakko take.

I like your optimism that the best is yet to come, but is it? It is so hard to get back to a conference final, never mind a Cup Final or winning a Cup.

I Eat Crow said:
It's just pain. I really thought this group would be the one's to break the curse.

f***, this just sucks. The stagnant cap is going to slam this group's window shut in two years. I don't think that this team will get this close again.

Tampa will be broken up but still a threat. Florida is still going to be around for a couple more years especially if Bobrobsky's contract gets moved. Washington will annoyingly still be around and give us fits if they meet again. Finally, there's no way the Rangers don't run into Carolina again. They'll exact their revenge next year or the one after because that's just how shit goes. With our luck, the other year, that will be the year the Rangers run into Toronto that finally gets it together and makes a Cup Final.

I know that this team is ahead of schedule, and that the tank is empty and Tampa knows to close out a series, but Jesus, this is going to sting if this run ends Saturday or Tuesday.

Please stop. This team is in good shape moving forward and better than most teams. They are the youngest team in the playoffs and 2 wins from the SCF and have had a great run. Every team has to deal with the flat cap for another 2-3 years and then it's going to go up big time.

Responded above but I'll repeat it for you.

Getting to a conference final isn't just like any Tuesday for a team. It is so, so hard to get here. This group is getting great experience. The best I can hope for is that they realize they need to close a series out sooner than 7 so they have more juice when shit really gets real. Knowing this team's history, there's just no chance that Carolina doesn't get their revenge this year or next. They NEED to win it in the next two years, so they essentially only have one shot at this if they don't get it done this year. This core's going to be broken up one way or another with the flat cap.

Another round of cap compliance buyouts is coming. There just has to be. No doubt Panarin, Kreider, or Trouba will be one of them. The NHLPA is going to be in an uproar with the number of players that will be without contracts. It's going to be a shitty time to be a free agent in the next two summers if you're a middle six or middle pairing player. The Rangers won't have the cap space to take advantage. Teams on the upswing like Detroit, Buffalo, Devils, and Flyers will be in the best position to take advantage and will be back in the playoffs with better, deeper teams to go up against the heavies in Carolina, the Rangers, and Tampa very, very shortly.

This sounds alarmist but I think a lot of folks here are taking how hard it is to get here for granted.

Yeah but they did it. That counts for a lot.

We've seen some good teams, even great teams, completely shit the bed when they're pressed with Florida being the prime example.

Drury has his work cut out for him due to the sins of his predecessor, but if we've learned anything about this group is that they won't back down from a challenge or fold the second something goes wrong.

They're also not done yet.

It would be so like this team to come back and win it in 7 though.

As dire as things seem right now, it wasn't nearly as dire as it was against Pittsburgh after game 4.
Click to expand...

To be honest, I feel it's more dire since it's TB and the defending back to back champs, but that's just me.

Not that I expected them to come back from 3-1 vs PIT. But it just feels like I'd be totally floored if they win the next two.

Nonetheless, I don't want to be negative. It's not over until someone wins 4. Bring this thing back to MSG!

Yup that’s my age group. My grandmother would take me to Pizza Hut as a kid and let me play the X-Men arcade game. I remember she would fill up a can with coins and give them to me for enjoyment. I miss her so much, both of my grandparents. I’d get the little personal pizzas as a kid. Every Super Bowl I would go to their house and we would get Pizza Hut. The memories man, f***. I still go to that Pizza Hut but try not to think about it because I’ll get emotional and depressed.

McD’s second act as a face in the crowd with Tampa has tarnished his legacy as a Ranger. Our organization is afraid to name another captain because of how mentally weak he was with the C on his chest.

I know this has nothing to do with what your post was about, but I needed to get it off my chest

This is true. But this is also our 3rd time here in the last 9 years, and in the middle of all that we completely turned over our roster.

Luck (i consider staying healthy an aspect of luck) has and always will play a part in the playoffs. I think we're set up to get back here as well as any other team in the league.
