1) Why wouldn't he?

2) They spent the last few minutes crowing about how we're winning "largely because of Shestyorkin" although they did acknowledge that the shots ends up closer than they were in the first.

They wouldn’t shut the f*** up about the Bruins the entire first period. I was like, is this a Boston feed on the National channel?

Not sure where to ask this, but I finally signed up for ESPN+. Do Rangers games get blacked out in NYC? If I cord cut will I be able to see the game there?
 
Announcers were brutal, I laughed out loud when they complimented Swayman on the save he made before he kicked the rebound directly onto Hunt’s stick. Also completely ignored how dirty the knee on knee McAvoy hit was. Idk what I expected though, the Bruins ass kissing on national TV has been blatant for years
I caught that too. It was a GREAT save…but actually it was a good stop and an AWFUL rebound… but I guess the fans just want hyperbolic thrills and excitement, eh.

I'm still convinced Taylor Hall isn't a guy you win cups with.
If Boston doesn’t add Hertl at some time this year when the wheels fall off for the sharks, I’d be shocked. Krecji leaving was a big hole left that they have yet to fill.
Most of their core is older 20s/30s they should be going all in
 
True story - My Bruins fans buddies got arrested cause they were so enraged that Grzelyck passed this instead of shot. They didn't even want to win the game from that point on. I tried to reason with them that it was the right play but they just cursed me out. Moral of the story...Bruins fans are donks.

Wasn't that a goal? Why would they be upset about a pass that worked?
 
So many good things from this team today.

• Solid team play with an emphasis on finishing checks
• Lindgren was outstanding
• Miller was outstanding
• Very good game from Kakko
• Lafreniere looked great. He loves to take the body which is huge for this team. Great finish and you could sense it was coming
• Chytil is a demon on skates out there, he may be the fastest skater on the team soon.
• Are we seeing Goat finally figuring it out? Wow
• The Strome goal was absolute filth and clinic on puck support and making smart plays to keep possession.
• Rooney, Goodrow & Reaves is not only the best 4th line the Rangers have had in a decade but it’s probably the best in the league right now.
• Love the fire from Panarin
• This team has swagger
• Igor is a sensory delight
• When a guy like Hunt can stick with it on the top line, it makes your team deeper and Gallant understands that
• Kreider, are you kidding me?
 
Probably will need to upgrade from him at some point, but this is a weird comment to make after Hunt’s best game of the season
I brought it up on the trade board but a small trade with Vancouver of Hajek for Chiasson could make sense for the Rangers. Chiasson is a legit RW who has had success playing with talent players. Even on the dumpster fire of the Canucks this year, he has very good possession numbers. UFA after this year too. Vancouver is very light on LD and a Hajek would make a lot of sense for them.

They get this "winning because of Shesterkin" narrative from the Rangers own fans and local nyc media. It's what they read and hear, so not really knowing the team they run with it.

Same thing happened with Lunquist, and it's not so much that "our folks" were/are complimenting the goalie as it is/was them putting the rest of the team down.

They don't like the gm, or the "asset management", or think the rangers should tank for a mythical crosby...so they make an excuse for the winning by saying it's just the great goalie. It's shitty...and the lazy national hockey media accepts it and furthers the bullshit.

You’ll be blacked out of every non-national Ranger game. But give NordVPN a try if you are set on cutting the cord. I think it’s about $5 a month or less depending on your payment plan, and you’ll be able to watch every game.

As frustrating as the Rangers can be at times trying to find the perfect play, it's still better than shooting from bad angles into the Dman's skates or the goalie's crest or glove. There are a lot of teams that think that constitutes offense. And I've got no problem with it when the team is in a bad funk and you're trying to simplify, but if that's your only O zone strategy, then unless you've got at least a couple of good dmen and at least two Kreider lites in front of the net, it's just not going to cut it in a long season.
 
A quarter of the season in, we're at a 119 point pace while playing 13/20 on the road, have the Norris front runner and a Vezina contender, have depth and toughness, and our play is trending more towards our record than our record is trending towards our play.

Lots to be excited by.
If people just read The bold and don't really think about it they're missing out on something. I say that's pretty profound. And couldn't be more of the truth. In essence, guess what you're saying is that this team really isn't playing very well, and seems to have another level or two that it could reach. That is amazing, and we might be in for very very wonderful ride.
 
Favorite part of this team is their third period competence vs last year. Better coach better situational play (Goodrow) and maturation of young kids like miller
Surely the maturation is a great part of that (Chytil,Gautier,even Laf), but make no mistake its the Hunts, Reaves and Rooneys that are making a difference. What did our 4th line do last year, the past 5 years? Who were they? Lol

Games get blocked out. I have ESPN+ for the Anaheim games and to watch the Rangers when I’m traveling, but I usually use MSGGO app. Anytime the Ducks play the Devils, Rangers, or Islanders have to watch the MSG broadcasts. Could use a VPN to hide your location but not sure how that works.
 
Bitch slap from afar!

Question......how come players are allowed to face wash opposing players with their gloves, but Panarin can't throw his glove.... and he didn't even hit him? Lmao

probably said something about wife,leftovers,seconds etc…..Putin better watch it Artemi fired up
