Rangers ruined thanksgiving and to make matters even worse we get to get run out of the building against the Devils on my birthday
 
Do we really believe it matters who we pick at say 14 vs 28-32? Not with this team that has 3 top 10 picks and not 1 of them is really producing like they should be. Chytil and Miller are the best of the bunch and they are 20's picks.
Oh and Dallas scored 5 unanswered in the final 10 minutes to beat Chicago 6-4. The Nils pick not so great right now
Still better than this team getting their dick's handed to them in round 1 by an actual hockey team.
 
Thought that game sucked don't care how the third period made the numbers look overall. Offensive zone scheme is boring, offense off the rush basically non-existent, and they really don't score any goals east-west which is how you score goals at 5v5 in the offensive zone. Part of it is bad luck but part of it is how they play.
Yep, very much agree with this. They're very slow and pretty uncreative for such a talented group. Lots of slow plodding and waiting and slowing things down but then not really moving enough in the offensive zone to open up the east west lanes that they used to feast on. And yeah, the rush chances are non existent.

meh I take my chances with the best goalie in the world. I don't wanna waste my time on another top 10 pick who most likely won't do much. Even Bedard wouldn't sniff pp time with this club

"Good teams don't lose games like this" is such a useless platitude.

Good teams lose all kinds of games.
Every game you say the same thing and smugly shit on those who disagree with you. Advanced stats are helpful and I realize you live and die by them. But you crapped on me and others last year when we thought the team was good early on and now you’re shitting on us when we stink. Teams don’t lose all the time when they’re playing well and you seem to feel they are in more games than not. They have severe issues finishing, getting second and third chances, and breaking down at the worst times.
 
Yes, I believe the better sentiment is "Good teams don't lose games like this as often as the Rangers have so far this season"

Is the only good team in our division the Devils then? Because teams 2-5 in the Metro basically have the same record?

I didn't shit on anyone. If anybody can't take disagreement it's the doom and gloom crowd.

Even though Halak let in shit goals, how can you expect your backup to win games when you only ever score 2 goals at most?
Can't expect a backup to only let in 1 goal every game. They're a backup for a reason.
Yeah I mean Halak gave up two atrocious goals tonight but the Rangers should score more than 2 goals against that Anaheim team. Halak has yet to get more than 2 goals in support in any of his starts yet this season. So while he’s been pretty shit overall but he’s not getting enough goal support.

Panarin has been really bad lately and not just at 5v5. He’s been bad in the PP too. Slow and predictable every time.
 
aaahh ok... so this is why Gallant got fired last time... i get it.
