Didn't get to see the OT winner (lot of family stuff going on..my sister passed away today). Watched the highlight. What a stroke of luck! Wenn does that ever happen?! LGR!

OMG! Your sis passed away and you are somehow here? I get it, life takes you where you "don't wanna be", but then there's an escape hatch, the Rangers HF escape hatch. I am experiencing that right now. So many things much more important, but I feel safe and happy here. So so sorry for your loss hun. Godspeed.

 

[duhmetreE]

Chytil on that Forsling goal.... he needs to trust and play his position. Forsling is his guy. There was no reason to cheat.

A lesson he hopefully learns from. Just trust the system, play your spot.

btw optional skate today.... and Igor was out there. Kinda crazy

 

[Wtp99]

The call by Ray and Sean here is so bad it’s hard to believe it’s real

Ray Ferraro blows. I certainly won’t miss him if he was relieved of his duties today

PK and LB beefing

I just watched the Trouba elbow. In the issue of fairness I have defended Trouba countless times on this board because most of his big hits were clean but guys got hurt so he got a bad rep. I always gave him the benefit of the doubt for the Crosby hit as a result. But I saw that play yesterday and it was pretty unambiguous that was a dirty play and it's getting harder and harder to defend him.

People talk a lot of shit. Rangers are not a nice team and neither are the Panthers. I don't want the Rangers to be a nice team. The '94 team wasn't and arguably was the nastiest Rangers team I've ever seen. Trouba's walking the line with the missile attack on Necas and the elbow at Rodrigues but so far it's okay. Questionable whether Rodrigues was playing it up a bit when he's back on the ice the beginning of the 3rd with the big grin on his face. Maurice has a problem with Trouba not being suspended?---he didn't mind the sucker punch cold cocking of Marchand by Bennett though, did he? So......as far as the fanbases sure Trouba's attempt to decapitate Rodrigues looks pretty bad but Lomberg's knocked Vesey out of the playoffs and Bennett launched himself into Lindgren with a pretty questionable hit. That's probably where the cut under his eye came from. Like with Marchand not penalized though. Trouba's was. To me Florida has shit to complain about. They're not the cleanest team either. The Rangers need to be able to do quid pro quo or the carnage is just going to be one way.

Nice teams don't win Stanley Cups. Period.

The fallacy here is why do we need to defend him when no other team’s dirty players illicit this reaction from the other fanbases? Yeah he’s dirty, who gives a shit? So is Bennett, Marchand, Oshie, Wilson, Burns, etc. Squeaky clean teams aren’t playing right now.

Hey, PK... stfu.

We're counter culture now.

He was trying to get a piece at all costs cause he was beat, so I get why he did it. It’s just not something you can do anymore and hasn’t been for awhile. Either dirty or dumb take your pick. Also don’t care that much cause he’s on our team.

That's fair I guess. And that's something that Florida has been getting praised for but when we do it we're drity OMGz!

I think Trouba was just trying to get a piece of Rodrigues, as his ankles were being broken. I don't think he was intending on hitting him up high or injuring him. It obviously isn't a good look considering his reputation.

Edit: Beaten to it.

My reaction to the game 2 winner:

My reaction to the game 3 winner:

Stay off the main boards. It seems as if someone with an axe to grind has rangers fans on a short leash. Signed: Your mod crew that you think infracts you for no reason but deep down actually cares and doesn't want you to get infracted

I swear... Devils fans must have photos of the main board mods.

I legit don't understand how their derailing and trolling is allowed to happen on the main boards.

Yeah, but he did it with an extended elbow.

It's a double standard. People are outraged by things that Trouba and Rempe do but not a peep about Kulikov's hit which was worse or the hit on Vesey. Florida wants to play that game so can we but at least acknowledge the dirty shit from the other side.

 

[Captain Monglobster]

I have no issue at all with the Rangers playing a greasy game in the gray area of legality. You do what it takes to win, and the mental side is just as important as the physical side if not more. Ive seen enough soft smurf Rangers teams.

Just get the job done. 6 more wins blood sweat tears and probably another thousand mini heart attacks for me.

And one more thing, I dont give a rats ass (see what i did there) what anyone else thinks about the Rangers. NYC has always been the evil empire that everyone hates. We feed off of negativity, were new yorkers.

 

[TominNC]

I doubt it happens and while duguay is kinda drunk here the thought isnt the worst ever.

If we go with 11/7 next game. If you consider we just played rempe 4 mins last game, you get laff double shifting on the 4th line RW in place of rempe + play kandre maybe 4 mins at 4th line RW at which time you let zac jones play LD for maybe 5-7 mins.

It sounds insane but it’s not an awful idea haha.



I think it’s more likely that we see blake wheeler take rempes spot at 4th line RW for game 4

Duguay is out of his mind. Leave the coaching to real coaches

 

[Whoot Whoot]

I'm getting the feeling other teams don't like Trouba

 

[80shockeywasbuns]

Gustafsson and Lindgren

No relation

Both Sean Mcdonagh and Don Lagreca thought it was Gustafsson. Wtf

I'll one up you. Not only is there no peep about Florida's dirtiness it's evidence of their amazing system and style of play that is perfect for the playoffs. Subban would giving them a verbal blow job if they did it. But Trouba needs to get a major.

Exactly. Kudos to Marchand. He was interviewed and basically said; "Truth is, the remaining teams are out to HURT one another", it'll come down to attrition. "Which team remains the most healthy, while others are faltering" maybe, my words. But, you get the point. Kudos to him, because THAT is exactly what itr comes down to.
That said, you come after our superstar, then we come after yours. Trouba trying to "nail" Rodridgues, might have had something to do with an earlier "questionable hit" that Rodrigues laid on somebody. An eye for an eye. Rodrigues is NO angel, prob had it coming to him, oh and btw, after hockey he could make it on the big screen.

Yup. Slewban should really stop talking about illegal hits although I guess he is kind of an expert. I also failed to mention the flying Wallenda that Bennett put on Lindgren near the boards yesterday. It should have been penalized but nope not a mention by ESPN.

 

[Wtp99]

Larry finally useful for something. Subban and his shtick (along with Biz in prior rounds) is tiresome and pathetic. I get that's apparently what "sells" these days, but the two of them need to get together and have a good cry fest about which one looks the more ridiculous.

For the record: I hated cheering for that asshat when he was with the Predators, too. Always seemed to make it about him and not the team. Thankfully his ass got traded to the wastelands to end his hilariously overrated career.

He was dressed like his grandmother’s couch

should rodrigues be suspended for doing the exact same thing as trouba in the first period but completely missing? rodrigues chicken wing

Payback is a bi**h
