I want them to build a big and heavy team. A physical team if that's possible in the current NHL. The Panthers are a a great team. They have players tough to play against. TB had that.
You need to build a team that can play at an 80 % level of playoff type hockey for at least 50+ games in the regular season and for all 20+ playoff contests . We have just never had a team built for playoff hockey other than having great goalies steal games for us .

I would love to be in this lottery and for sure in the next one . With the kids we have and the prospects on hand....and a couple of UFA signings in 2-3 yrs time....we should be a formidable foe.

I assume that's to keep from blowing your brains out while you're in that mousetrap of a store.

Ikea, like Trader Joes, is on my list of places I do not shop at. I think I'd rather chew on crushed glass.
They implemented shortcuts that you can use. Basically holes cut into walls.

That 2014 team wasn't carried by the goalie. They were a legitimately good team and even the SCF was far closer than most people give credit.

Wow. NHL Radio has officially called the Rangers face plant a "Mutiny"..



Even middling journalists are starting to point fingers at "this core" of quitters.

The Pegulas went into the Sabre lockeroom yesterday in Montreal. Total fluff job. Terry said that this team is supported by management, and no moves are being made to shake up the roster
Now got get em! Rah rah!

3 hours later they went out on the ice and got absolutely destroyed by the Habs of all teams.

Rangers, Isles, Sabres all suck.

a NY State of Mind.
How many weeks ago did I say this?

I thought that was Myles Long?

No, no. No misrepresentation here. Is it a pure steel Remington shotgun? Yes. Is it also a sawed off snub nose with a hair trigger? Absolutely. Shorter than normal and goes off quickly. But powerful, illegal in most states, not easily concealed and lots of fun.

People who think we SHOULD try salvaging this season rather than embracing large scale changes:

Too many children giving their takes on what's going on with the Rangers. Drury made the fanbase turn on Trouba? Incorrect, his play did that. I could take or leave Drury at this point but watching these crybabies absolve the players of any blame is unbelievable. Try working a real job one day. When you get fired on Planet Earth (and not Fantasyland like Picasso Trouba) for performance reasons, they dont let you keep your 8 million dollar salary and move you to SoCal. They wait until a Friday and shitcan you at 3 o'clock so you can't make a scene! Can we get back to discussing solutions rather than the media bitching about whose feelings were more hurt. Just win a f***ing game!!!

No, this is one the whiny players. I hope Drury is here to ship their sorry asses out.

I invest my time to watch them. Give effort. Entertain me. This garbage is unacceptable.

The only people demanding accountability of the GM, Coach and players is the fans. Too much of that going around in sports recently.

The eye test and analytics folks were in lock step with that team. Because they were just a damn good and well built team. The LA Kings experience winning closing out a Cup Final the two years before really was the difference imo. All the games were so close.
