I've got over 50 years invested in this club . At times I wonder about things and how it is done in Rangerville . There is no pride in wearing the uniform . Heck I won't even wear one around here . People laugh....even the Leaf fans mock us as a franchise .

Even in losing you need to stand up for the uniform . Our guys just don't do this . We have so many that just pack it up and want to get off the ice . Kreider-Mika-Panarin-Fox-Lafreniere -Edstrom-Miller and and I likely missed a few are all bum patters . Losing should not be accepted....and in the event it is inevitable then you should be getting a piece of your opponent . That is how hockey is meant to be played . We have three huge guys and not one did anything from 3rd period on in that regard . Somebody should have jumped Svechnikov even though it was not quite his fault ....if nothing else it sends a message you got too close to Shesty in the first place . Frustrating.....
 
Borgen right back to Trouba levels of suck right after the extension
Historical nobody who is already 28 and out of any sort of runway when it comes to further development has a hot two weeks and they make him a lifer.

The GM definitely did it to deflect away from the fact that the 23 year old stud he traded away is making him look stupid.

This organization can’t get rid of Drury fast enough. He hasn’t done a single thing, not one, other than draft Perrault, to significantly enhance the future of this club.
 
The leadership on this team is the issue, Mika, Kreider, Panarin aren't leaders. Shit flows downhill and when these guys struggle a funk falls over the team. Imo, Kreider and mika need to go, move Kreider first and hope Mika decides to leave. Imo bringing miller into this situation with those guys here isn't gonna be a great idea, if Pettersson can't handle Miller's vibe then how are the softest core in the league gonna handle it. Move Kreider, bring in Miller, Mika leaves, we start fresh with Othmann and Berard. Cuylle Miller Othmann is a line id love to see.

He’s 34. What would be crazy is if he keeps scoring 35-40 goals a year.

The guy is on pp1, getting tons of minutes all year and has 2 assists? Like how is that even possible? Tanner Glass could muster more than that with the same minutes.

He's spent. He's 34. It's the end of the road. That's not anything to be ashamed of for him, he's had a great career, but it's his time. He's no longer a top 6 player. And if he's hurt, he's no longer even an NHL caliber player.

If the Rangers can find someone who foolishly is willing to buy his name, they should rush to the negotiating table.
 
Kreider misses an wide open net...don't worry guys, it's just his back. He's great.

Rotten core continues to be.....rotten.

that's not how the game is played anymore, not in the regular season at least. guys aren't drinking 7 beers a night and throwing back percocet to hit the town and bird dog chicks. they're taking a cbd gummy and hopping into a CoD lobby. It's just different.

unclear why you've included Edstrom in this tirade. he's a consistent bright spot with his speed, physicality, and solid play.

They could have Lindgren in CK's spot on PP1 and he would have more points period then Kreider let along assists .

With his size and skills....it certainly cannot be said he leaves it all on the ice . Look at how Carrick plays ! Right now Ed could do a lot more than he does . It is the same deal as Kreider when he started....I'm not sure why some of you guys are always just happy with what guys are currently doing when they COULD be doing so much more out there .

This being good enough is a loser mentality .....being better is what winners strive for !!!
 
Didn't get to watch this game (thanks to being in Carolina's market, stupid blackouts), but it looks like it's a good thing I couldn't watch it.

Igor has got to stop giving up goals in the opening minutes of a game, it's pathetic how often this happens! Seems like almost every game we're already behind to start the game!

I don't really understand that chart that's posted with each game, but I know being far to the left is bad... WTF did Fox do or not do to be that much worse than everyone else last night??
 
Can someone explain the thread title? I'm not Will Borgen. I don't know everything.
