Post-Game Talk: Rangers @ Aardvarks

[Boris Zubov]

Fox that low? Damn.

His partner was extra crispy tonight.

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

Fox that low? Damn.

Lindgren does that to a person.

 

[Machinehead]

Fox that low? Damn.

He sucked tonight

 

[Siddi]

He was pretty decent the last few games. It all went to shit tonight for some reason

Not a good look tonight at all. Hopefully just a bump in the road and his positive trajectory continues.

 

[NYRFANMANI]

I see we're eying that juicy 15th overall pick. Great.

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

They played around 15 good minutes they won.
Imagine if they could play like 40-50 good minutes. I know asking too much

thhey rode this strategy to a President's trophy last year. They'll never change.

yup. Nothing to look forward to with this team.

As long as they sell off the rentals that’s a win. Then trade the 1st in a package for a good player with term.

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

If anyone really wants this team to have an actual glimmer of hope at a playoff run they pretty much need to run the table in their next 4, especially with 3 of them being at home.

Those are all h2h's against teams that you're in direct competition with for those spots and those 4 point swings are massive.

My guess is they get dunked on. Those teams have been going well (better than NYR) and are just more motivated to do shit. The Rangers have had a nice little run, but gravity is dragging that other shoe back to earth.

I see we're eying that juicy 15th overall pick. Great.

They'll finish lower than that but honestly who cares?

As long as they don't do something stupid like self rent Lindgren anything that is going to be substantial and potentially culturally shifting is going to happen this summer via trade and/or UFA. A full rebuild isn't happening and there isn't a franchise altering talent available in this draft outside of Schaefer and this team isn't Chicago/San Jose bad so they won't have the chance to get him.

I would rather be competitive and have hope to make the playoffs (as long as they don't do stupid stuff and try to buy) than pick 8/9/10th overall.
I mean do people really think picking 8th or 9th vs 15th/16th is gonna make a difference? I mean Chytil was picked what 21st overall and he is better than Lafreniere/Kakko/Lias combined. Not gonna even mention GP who is probably gonna be better than all of them.

Agree. Draft is a total toss-up. Play to win. The only caveat is, I’d like to see them give Jones, Mancini, and Bedard and other youngsters more ice time.

View from behind Igor showed his shot was dead on the net while in the air. It landed on the ice and skipped left

 

[80shockeywasbuns]

Classic NYR. Lindgren was bad and made Fox bad, Zibanejad was bad, Rempe barely played, and they won anyway

 

[Machinehead]

Lindgren and Cooley during that skirmish

 

[80shockeywasbuns]

Rempe also on the ice for 0 shot attempts in his 5:33. The Bonino special

My heart skips a beat whenever he goes for it. Electric hockey play

I guess the question is, what about the other 45 mins? If the rangers were clearly better for 15 mins and the rest it was break-even, we’re doing ok. I only saw a little bit of the game but what I saw the rangers were in control out at least, the other team wasn’t threatening at all.

I'm sorry they didn't lose 40 in a row for you.
