I believe they are talking national exclusives. So when the game was on NBC, there was no MSG. If the game was on NBCSN, it was on MSG.

Probably gets them clear of Round 1 and Round 2 of the NBA playoffs before it is exclusive on ESPN/TNT/TBS.

If I had to guess, you'll be able to watch every game on ESPN/ESPN2/ESPN+ and TNT/TBS if you are out of market.

For sure, out of market people will be fine, just nice be a local and not having to worry about a weekend national game on NBC in round 1, always hated that.

Who would have thought.... 3 months ago... that KAM would be our best defenseman

 

[Chimpradamus]

Thats been Copp.

Panarin has been SO MUCH BETTER with him. He looks like he's back to being God again. Sens suck and his line globetrotter'd the f*** out of them tonight, but he's been cooking ever since they were paired together.

I can't emphasize enough how f***ing good Panarin was tonight though. You live with the occasional goofy pass when he completely takes over like he did tonight.

Yeah, Copp really knows how to make it simple for talented linemates. He's really good at finding and creating open areas around the net.

Wave upon wave.
We were all over them the way Carolina is usually all over us.

I've seen 40-min domination by the Rangers, but I'm having trouble recalling the last time we dominated the full 60 like this.

 

[Peltz]

1:38-1:47 - look at Panarin


The only crappy thing is that Kreider didn't translate for him

Lol, Panarin is hysterical.

I doubt we'll lose both. Wish we can keep both, but I doubt that will happen as well.

I doubt we will lose both either, but there is an outside possibility of that. There is a better chance we lose both than keep both.

 

[mas0764]

Feels like the culmination of a successful rebuild to me. I think this is the start of a really good run for this organization over the next few years.

Really long way to go, and it won’t be easy, but this team absolutely has as good a chance as anyone to win the Cup.

It would be if we had two young centers.

Me, kind of. Foxy is stil the man with less defense.

Starting to understand this better. Anything over 50 is great, right?
If thats the case wow, and also lol at our 4th line. Seemed Ottawa's 4th outplayed our 4th. THAT should say lots about NO Reavo and losing Motte really hurts.

 

[Larrybiv]

Lmao f*** your decade rebuilds

Thank God, because I ain't living that long. The immediacy of this , well.......does my heart better and increases my chances of seeing us raise another cup.

Have you noticed, everytime the Rangers are in control of a game, Miller gets the yeoman's minutes, giving Fox and Troubs a breather. He led all skaters again last night, with 22:52 of ice time. He continues to grow in using his size and strength to full effectiveness. He's been crushing people nightly the past month or so.

I guess with Troubs or Hunt we notice it more, maybe because they are smaller in stature? But Miller is beginning to lay Reavo size hits with regularity.

I can only guess why he hasn't shown this side of himself from the get go. Maybe because with more contact, there is more likely a chance of getting injured? And for a young guy, trying to learn the game, that can be hard to do nursing an injury. Maybe now he is better prepared to have a target on his back, which comes with being more aggressive.

 

[KOVALEV022473]

Too bad we cannot keep both and possibly not either.

Who gives a f*** if we win the cup?!?

While it’s early in the evaluation process- Braun Schneider have been competent


Braun Schneider has been alright. I think they'll need sheltered minutes in the postseason and may run into difficulty with teams that are three lines deep with skill players like Florida.

Drury did a great job making this roster competitive for the playoffs at the deadline. We still aren't quite in that top tier of favorites, however.

The bottom pair and the 3rd line are my only concerns at this juncture. Not because there isn't depth for the third line, but because right now they're 'leftovers' designed without much of a care to chemistry.

I thought Braun had his best game in a Rangers uniform vs OTT. He showed flashes of Foxy magic at the bluelines. He's a top pair pickup who is our 7th D-man. It's insane how deep we are on D.

When Chytil comes back, the Kids line will be reunited, and they had some mojo previously.

Yeah, and it’s important to remember that a missed hit by a defender is a disaster definitively. I think that it’s only natural that a defender is a bit carefully defensively in that sense early in his career.

Fox is a bit different from my POV, he leaves on his hockey sense and perfected skill set to let him play the game he wants to play.

But Miller and also Schneider are nothing short of fascinating. These guys will improve for a long time. Both will still have down periods, it comes with the territory. But their peak ability will be so good.

I'm so excited to be back in the actual playoffs

 

[KOVALEV022473]

That’s not really true.

If anything it’s all the “don’t buy” crowd was asking for. Not to spend any prime assets. The buy crowd wanted to go out and purchase Chychrun, JT Miller, Hertl, every big name expensive piece they could get their hands on.

This is just BS. The biggest proponents of buying were me, McRanger 92, Anthony5967 and Kovelev27. None of us said trade every prospect and pick. We said the team has holes, address the holes with all of that cap space that we have and will never have again. We all had three or four players/prospects that we pretty much agreed to be available. Drury far exceeded expectations, at least mine, in what he gave up in filling the needs of this team, which anyone with two eyes and a half of brain could see, to make a deep run. So, yes, this is what the “Buy Crowd” was indeed asking for and your attempt to lump a couple of posters with ridiculous proposals in is just revisionist history.

Maybe so, but that didn't stop Schneider from laying the body as soon as he arrived. Which is why Miller was a bit of a mystery.

Maybe when K'Andre saw Schneider doing it, he said to himself, Hey, I can do that to!

Miller's more aggressive play does kinda coincide with Braden's arrival. But that is probably just a coincidence. I think a message was sent by either Troubs or the staff, saying he's has another weapon that he has not yet tapped into. Cause come playoffs, you have to take the body, so you might as well get your reps in early, if you want to be effective when it really counts.

Jinx!

Jinx how ? Is my post going to bring him back ?

Reaves is the epitome of consistency.

 

[chosen]

Vatrano is a much better all around player than I expected. He fast, he has a knack for disputing in the forecheck, he’s pesky and he doesn’t wilt with physicality. He’s a solid player.

That Vatrano was deemed expendable is a pretty good indication of the quality of Florida's forwards.

 

[hackeyman]

Panarin has 32 points in 20 games since March 2nd. 16 points in 10 games since the deadline. Both stretches are 131 point/82 game paces.

He needs 13 assists in the final 9 games to tie Brian Leetch's franchise record of 80. And if he does it, it will be in only 77 games.

Just in case anyone forgot who the best player on the team was.

I'll take Shesty before breadman . After Shesty he's the most talented guy on the team but if best means most valuable .....I'm not sure. On pure talent he can do crazy things.
