Post-Game Talk: RANGERS @ islanders

[Anthony5967]

I’ll say this too, I never when they acquired him expected Mika to turn into this type of player. He’s incredible.

 

[RangerLifer]

This is good!

We want them to take the 3rd spot in the Atlantic.

Does that help us?

Three players with 50.0+ CF% tonight:

1. DeAngelo - 52.17
   
2. Staal - 51.35
   
3. McKegg - 50.00

McKegg was good tonight, even without the goal. I saw him mostly with Goat I think.

Hank's return to the lineup should not be in Montreal.

We know the history there.

 

[ohbaby]

No matter how bad he sometimes looks defending,.. if he continues to bring this, he's worth every penny of his contract in my book.

 

[Alluckks]

Arizona just needs to go away honestly

That team is not set up for success internally no matter who their GM is

Just like the Panthers

Joke franchises

Please don't take away my cheap and accessible hockey games

That hit looked clean as whistle to me; Surprised people are even discussing any facet of it besides how badass it was.

Is it worth the risk of Florida grabbing a WC spot?

Is it worth the risk of Florida grabbing a WC spot?

yes. gambling is fun.

 

[PuckLuck3043]

Piles fans are crying that it was illegal and he will be suspended. I guess the tears are blurring their vision.

 

[aufheben]

Shitbox Islanders are literally a .500 team away from home.

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

Is it worth the risk of Florida grabbing a WC spot?

Yes.

I want to witness the hilarity of Toronto Missing, Carolina Missing and the Rangers getting in over the Isles with Toronto picking in the top 10 and the Canes pick ending up in the lottery.

Thats the best of all worlds.

Strome needs to be dealt with by this coaching staff. It’s inexcusable and happens constantly. I can’t stand him honestly don’t care about his points.

Georgie was great until the end. He gets emotional ala hank. Shesterkin doesn’t. Stays calm

Anders Lee was pestering him all night.

And what's your beef with Strome?

 

[Inferno]

This is why I don’t care what the Fortunato’s, Herman’s, etc think. I don’t want to tank another year. You’re not guaranteed anything with the lottery. I’d rTher be in this position. I’m tired of looking at teams like Arizona, buffalo, Detroit and Edmonton never be good. Same Bs year in and year out with them all. Imagine if we were in the Pacific?

Detroit made the playoffs like 24 years in a row...

Um both Fortunato or Herman do not seem upset at all about us competing for a playoff spot

 

[Maximus]

It makes me giddy.

Yeah a month ago I was hoping we'd be in this position where we would be playing meaningful hockey games in March as it would be phenomenal experience for the kiddies.

Now tho that we are incredibly right in the thick of the playoff race something I'll be honest, I never in my wildest dreams thought was possible this year, the next 20 games we play will not only be huge games every single one of them, it will help the team to come more together and at the same time it will be even more awesome for the development of our young team as it will make them more seasoned so that next year and the years following, they'll know what they are in for and that is immeasurable for their development and for the teams success going forward.

I tell ya and I've said this a ton of times and it bears repeating...if anyone would have told me two years ago when that letter was sent out by Gorton to the fanbase that we were about to embark on full blown rebuild and we were pretty much starting from scratch that the rebuild would have gone this well and this fast, I would have asked what kind of weed you on cause I want some of it...lol.

Just phenomenal the trajectory of this team and where we are at. I said this a few times as well but I'll say it again...f*** it. Just imagine how good we are going to be when we actually are good? The league better watch out...that's for damn sure.

 

[Anthony5967]

Detroit made the playoffs like 24 years in a row...

Yea, but they’ve been pretty bad lately, and there’s no excuse to be as bad as they’ve been this year.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

Whoever told you that should drink antifreeze

I won't name names but we can't win the cup with him because he's not as good as ROR who only became that good AFTER he won the cup.

 

[Anthony5967]

You sure? I could’ve swore I saw some stuff coming from them. A lot of people want them to get another high pick and think just missing the playoffs is worthless.

 

[PuckLuck3043]

Trotz saying the 2020 1st and 2nd round picks they gave up are nothing and don't matter, lol. Tell that to Ottawa. DENIAL is not a river in Egypt Trotz.

 

[UnSandvich]

Yes.

I want to witness the hilarity of Toronto Missing, Carolina Missing and the Rangers getting in over the Isles with Toronto picking in the top 10 and the Canes pick ending up in the lottery.

Thats the best of all worlds.

If that happens, I'll name my firstborn after you

 

[Inferno]

Yea, but they’ve been pretty bad lately, and there’s no excuse to be as bad as they’ve been this year.

That's the price you pay when you make the playoffs for over 2 decades in a row...win 4 cups and make another 2 finals.

 

[Kords]

Looking at Kreider after the Zib goal "skating" to celebrate and man you can tell he feels like shit. Probably had no buisness playing tonight, hopefully whatever it is doesn't spread through the locker room.

In all fairness and in their defense, once Kuemper went out with that unfortunate injury, their mojo was gone and they have tanked it up pretty much ever since. I own Kuemper in fantasy and trust me when I say this, he was by far THE best goalie in the league for the first 2 1/2 months of the year and he was carrying that team.

I have not a doubt in my mind had he not gotten injured, the 'Yotes wouldn't be struggling like they have been as Raanta wasn't all that good and they simply don't score enough. Let's see how they do with Kuemper back and I for one wouldn't count them out just yet!

 

[FireGerardGallant]

You sure? I could’ve swore I saw some stuff coming from them. A lot of people want them to get another high pick and think just missing the playoffs is worthless.

I mean you can look at their twitter feeds, I've seen nothing negative recently about us winning games. I think before our recent run a lot of people felt that way about getting another high pick. But you're going to be hard-pressed to find people currently upset with the Rangers winning.
