Not necessarily. I’m just tired of our boys being injured or put in the hospital by other teams’ players with no response or repercussions. If I had to choose I’d be TOTALLY fine with seeing it the other way a couple of times. If you feel differently you’re not honest or an actual Rangers fan because the last few years have been pathetic

Don't question my fandom, don't even try it. You won't win that case. This team is literally part of my everyday life and I can feel however I want and NO I do not want players on my team who want to put people in the hospital. Sorry if that makes me a bad fan.

You're making your case to a guy who wanted the the Rangers to intentionally injure referees who didn't make the calls he wanted. Keep that in mind as you proceed.

Oh sorry super fan. This post is a joke right??

Because if not then you’re ok with all the injures and uncalled major intent to injure penalties ending seasons and ruining careers to NY RANGERS PLAYERS AS A NY RANGERS FAN in the last bunch of years. Because that’s what has happened. Most fans are not!!! I’d rather see it the other way for once or twice.

Need I remind you of the players affected?

And yes I said that and stand by it. I’m a bad guy...... or maybe I’m tired of a team of pansies and punching bag piñatas, and a league that does nothing

THE NY RANGERS ARE THE LAUGHINGSTOCK OF THE LEAGUE FILLEDCWITH BULLIES WHILE WE GET BULLIED AND TELL MAMMA
 
FWIW I’m not advocating for us to got and find the next Matt Cooke, Brooks Orpik or Radko Gudas. A Sean Avery type sure—there was never a long line of hospital victims with him but he sure knew how to piss off the opposition. It takes more than one guy though and when Filip Forsberg cracks the next guy in the coconut someone will need to chase his ass down and make him pay even if it means we lose the game. The Rangers need to get some respect back.

Yeah maybe that.........or could be I’m tired of my team getting targeted with NO response. I’d rather be the giver than the receiver unlike many of you. I’ll move on to another thread now. You folks are obviously either not concerned with what’s gone on or okay with it

I’m NOT advocating an intent to injure team by any means , but in regard to future arguments about the physicality of the game and the team, you were just called a “warmonger” on a hockey forum. Just keep that in mind.

They need a tougher team. A hard working identity. Guys that will lay it on the line.

I can't name a single guy on the roster that will go all out every game except for Hank.

Not even Zucc.

You need to get a few of these high compete win at all costs guys.

Ha ha. That’s funny. I’m supposed to be upset or something that some strangers on an online forum (many of whom are video game playing, snowflake generation pansies) just called me a warmonger! Because I’d rather my teams players stop getting hurt and instead hurt others for a change.:laugh::laugh::naughty::laugh::laugh: I take it as a badge of honor considering the sources.

Good news is I now have something to show my buddies. They’ll get a kick out of it. God this place needs some balls. Ciao!

I was saying you shouldn't be upset given that you should now see the narrative of the people with whom you were arguing.

I thought I've made it pretty clear how I feel this team needs to be more aggressive.

No no dude I totally got your point. My reply wasn’t directed at you I meant to just respond to all the “haters”. I can tell our similarities from your username:thumbu:

We have a Eddie Johnston player but we need a Barry Beck type defensemen in terms of toughness and shutdown ability.

I still do not understand why we traded JT. He can play the game and was one of the tougher guys on this team.

Stop with the superfan garbage. No this is not a joke. I don't condone any players purposely trying to injure someone. There's a difference between hard physical play and intent to injure, if you can't see the difference, I don't know what to tell ya.

Seriously??? WTF?

Yes seriously. I believe it was right after the February 3rd game vs the Predators where two of our players were knocked out injured by head shots. The referees did ZERO!!!!! I then advocated for( and still would today) a Rangers player to “accidentally “ shoot a dump in straight at the referee as a wake up call or something like that

Just like in baseball. If I were a catcher who felt my pitcher was getting squeezed I would call for a high fastball then “accidentally” miss catching it as I moved out of the way.....or if I was a batter that got thrown at I would swing as hard as I could at the next pitch and then “accidentally “ let go of the bat right at the pitcher.

If the game isn’t policed or called correctly after all the hard work the players put in then they should police themselves IMHO
 
After reading some of these posts, I think some might mistake the thread title .
It’s about Team Toughness in a Hockey Forum, not the NBA Forum.

No matter what some may think, when you hit someone, it’s with the intent to knock them on their ass and out of the play.

When you’re hitting someone, obviously you aren’t trying to concuss your opponent but make no mistake, you have every intention on cleaning their clock.

It’s why players are taught from day one to keep their head up.

Add to that the speed in which the game is played so while you’re trying time your hits, you have to make them count.

Whether you’re trying to take someone out of the play, force someone off of the puck, wearing down defenders on the forecheck, board battles..etc..

The intent is to drill said opponent and hit them hard.

Hitting by definition is to “cause harm or distress to”.

That means you hit someone HARD and with a purpose.

To reference a quote from JD, BC..

“We take the shortest route to the puck and arrive in ill humor”

That is hockey folks, otherwise it would be called Golf ;)

Targeting the other team after a dirty hit is one thing; it wont do shit to stop dirty hits but it does make us feel better I guess.

But attacking refs is on a whole separate level of stupid.
