This tank is really picking up momentum.

 

[Machinehead]

The fact that we wanted to lose doesn't make Howard and Asanachtulu any less annoying.

 

[Bob Richards]

That Athanasiou

 

[17futurecap]

Awesome loss.

 

[JESSEWENEEDTOCOOK]

monster loss

 

[DanielBrassard]

This season is depressing

 

[mike14]

Chytil was our best forward but really needs to work on his shot (as does the team in general)
The Smith-Andersson-Lemieux line did a good job on the forecheck for most of the night
Strome continues to be noticeable in a positive way
Outside of the terrible play on the goal, Gilmour played a better game than Skjei, who once again looked lost

 

[FireGerardGallant]

Seeing Buch sad made me sad but that was a big loss

 

[Machinehead]

Our season

 

[Larrybiv]

So, Detroit 3-0 vs Rangers this year. So, how in the hell are they behind us? Don't answer. It was a sarcastic, rhetorical question.

I legitimately can't tell whether he's sad, or just being Buch most of the time...

 

[Leonardo87]

Buch showing a lot of emotion there, he really gives a crap, and that earns a lot of respect points in my book. Smith has been very good as a 4th line forward and deserved to score that goal. Poor Machinehead won’t sleep tonight since Pionk picked up an assist on it though, lol.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

Was I crazy or was Buch excellent today? He seemed to have a ton of shot attempts and had a secondary assist. Is he possibly on the road to realizing his potential?

 

[LORDE]

Best thing for the long run.

 

[will1066]

What's the point of John Giannone's game summaries?

 

[Machinehead]

"And I'll tell you, Al, when you get to 33, 34, 35, it gets difficult..."

-Steve Valiquette, who sucked when he was 22.

I think he will be good next season. I think he finally gets it.

 

[Larrybiv]

Kind of makes you wonder, had he been a Ranger all these years......no wonder he plays well against us. Its a personal thing. He has to be thinking.....Hank, you have the job I always wanted to have.

 

[Irishguy42]

I'm so happy to have two dads.

Jimmy Howard and Anthony Athanasiou.

 

[Edge]

Whether they win or lose, the Rangers can never do anything the easy way.

I'm not going to lie, tonight would've really pissed me off. If for no other reason than guys like Smith and Shattenkirk really aren't part of anything productive this organization might do in the coming decade, but would still somehow find a way to turn something seemingly inconsequential into an action that the Rangers feel several months, and several years down the line.

One of the things I hoped wouldn't happen is that this team would somehow be buoyed by under-performing veterans who end up scoring. Not that you can make the kids be the ones who score in defeat, but you'd at least hope they have something to build on. The flip side is that I really couldn't give two craps about Shattenkirk and Smith having something to build on.

He still has a lot to prove. Needs to stay healthy and be consistent for a full season.

I was like..

 

[Harbour Dog]

Barring Panarin, we are going to be this bad for all of next season.

All season. This bad.

I gotta dig deep and try to find something else to give a shit about for the next 12 months, I guess.
