This is one of those games where you have to realize a trade is needed. This team is BROKEN.

They are lackadaisical. They have no urgency, they look disinterested as if they all know their jobs are secure. Tulsky, fix that
Just came off their best game of the season. 4 games in 6 days (edit: actually the start of 5 in 7, a truly nasty stretch) and this is the only inter-conference game (edit: the 5 in 7 ends with Vancouver on the 10th).

I’m surprised they didn’t start Tokarski and completely punt this one. If they beat Pitt and Tampa it’s a great 4 game run even with a loss tonight.

The Landeskog play was how many years ago? This is the way the rule works, it’s fine. It’s wonky that the bench door is in the offensive zone but that’s the way it has been and is today. I agree - it’s the exact same thing as stretching to keep a toe a centimeter onside. Get off the ice faster == tag up to get back onside faster.
I have no issue with the call and it is off sides. But it's not the same thing as a guy dragging a toe because the guy drawing a toe is part of the play, the guy late getting off the ice is not

Listening to the radio guys at intermission in the pisser

My goodness, and I thought I was harsh on the team. Just a thorough takedown of the play of Necas and Svech of late.

This team has a losing record since Thanksgiving

Maybe pull your head out of your own ass sometime
They have a losing record for a month. Oooooooooooo. That doesn’t mean the team is broken. The Rangers are broken.

This was always a transitional year - the hot start was an aberration.

In fact, the idea that the defense has taken a step back, Aho/Svech/Jarvis have been less than expected and their backup goalie was on his couch two months ago - and they are still 98% likely to be a playoff team is a f***ing miracle.

Splitting hairs. It’s effectively the same as a guy tagging back up.

Hustle off the ice young fella!
It killed me that the very next time we had the puck in the zone someone else floated to tag up when we were looking to bring it back in


Hey look at that time to play with our flaccid pp
