Post-Game Talk: Pittsburgh Penguins at New York Rangers - March 14

[Siddi]

I really hope you're kidding.

 

[trilobyte]

This narrative is beyond stupid. Buffalo and Arizona have nothing in common with the Rangers as franchises.

This is why I say that you can't just point at another scenario of another team and use it as a yardstick. I have stated before that the Rangers are a good organization. I think there is lots of supporting evidence, at least, at the very very least as it concerns Buffalo and Arizona, that is as plain as the nose(s) on our face(s).

 

[JESSEWENEEDTOCOOK]

Rangers shit goalies out their ass man

It's crazy

We've been getting good goaltending like 50 out of the last 60 years

 

[nevesis]

Yea can't wait to trade the entire farm we just started building for one year of him

Getting Karlsson here is as easy as one phone call from Hank.

 

[IronBloodedLion]

I know that wins aren't good for their draft position, but boy oh boy what an exciting win. I literally jumped out off my couch when Zibanejad scored that scored that goal.

 

[bl02]

Pionk needs to be on this team next year.

 

[Hi ImHFNYR]

2011-2014 resulted in zero cups.

Which is a really stupid argument considering one potential top player died, another very good player had his brains scrambled, the team blew a 30G top winger for a massive bust. Yet the team was still competing for a cup which i THOUGHT was your complaint (That they can't compete bc they don't get that top prospect) but sure, let's move the goalposts.

 

[wafflepadsave]

Watch, next game Chris and Mika are on different lines.

 

[Larrybiv]

did we pass the islanders yet?
said it if kreider didn't get hurt this team would be right outside a playoff spot. Didn't wanna wish what happened to him on anyone but if maybe he doesn't get the blood clot this team doesn't strip down like they did?

God works in mysterious ways. Yeah, what if? Would we have been buyers? Would McD, JT, Nasher and Grabs still be here? Would we have to shell out tons and be against the cap with a very aging team with little chance for a cup AND with very few kids coming up the pipeline......Yeah, Thank You God, sorry Kreids for your temporary discomfort. You'll get a "C" and that will not stand for a "clot" but a "CUP", not just Captain.

 

[Machinehead]

Jesper Fast the unsung hero tonight.

19 corsi for, 6 against.

Quietly on pace for about 32 points over 82 and until a week ago, he gets exactly zero top six opportunities. I'd like to see us experiment with that more as long as we're not in the race. The man is flat-out good at hockey.

 

[bl02]

and a boatload of cash. and if its this offseason say goodbye to many many young players.

 

[nevesis]

Pionk needs to be on this team next year.

Absolutely he will be.

 

[Glen Sathers Cigar]

"Shame on you if you can't get up for these games"

-Lazy Chris Kreider who doesn't care, on a game that took place during a tank season.

Definitely need to trade him.

 

[PuckLuck3043]

This team is never going to be bad enough to get to draft the players they need to turn this team around. And that sucks.

I guess the 3 first rounders they have+ prospects they received at trade deadline + Chytil and Andersson + cap space couldn't possibly begin to turn things around.

 

[Siddi]

Yea can't wait to trade the entire farm we just started building for one year of him

He will be much cheaper than people expect and why are you assuming that he wont resign?

Keep Fast with Kreider and Buch

See how Buch performs as the driver of his line

 

[JT Kreider]

Rangers **** goalies out their ass man

It's crazy

We've been getting good goaltending like 50 out of the last 60 years

And just imagine when Allaire gets his hands of gold on Shestyorkin

He gets so much shit. He can be on my hockey team any day of the week. dollar for dollar one of our most valuable players.

Just got chills

It’s not stupid at all, it’s the truth. Cherapanov is completely irrelevant to this argument. Being mediocre does nothing to help the rangers build this team.

 

[ReggieDunlop68]

This is such a bizzare franchise

 

[Ori]

It feels like to win a cup when we manage to get pts. from a team of helpless penguins this night.

Fast is everything people said Callahan was

 

[ponytrekker]

I cried when he was sent down in the beginning of the year .

 

[LeetchisGod]

Good. I don't want to have anything in common with them anyway. And that includes not continually bottoming out for top picks and not being able to break the cycle of continually bottoming ouy

My point is that we wouldn't perpetually be at the bottom of the standings. Those teams can't attract undrafted free agents like Vesey, Pionk and Hayes with regularity. Those teams don't draft quality supporting talent like we do. What we need is a couple of elite players for them to support. No one wants to play for those franchises.
