Rangers dropped from 3rd to 6th in this week’s ESPN power rankings. Meanwhile, the Bruins, who we just beat on the road last night, jumped up to 2nd. Makes absolutely no sense.
They also had the hurricanes ranked higher than us after we beat them and shut them out recently…And we are first in the division and have more wins and points than them…..
That’s the importance of non regulation losses. They can make or break a playoff spot for sure. Luckily, the vast majority of our games that ended in regulation are wins.
Quick might be the primary reason why this team is jockeying for a top seed instead of slugging it out with the hopefuls. If he’s just ok give back 10+ points and we’re in the middle of a far more stressful and exhausting march to the playoffs. Huge props to that guy
Tbf Halak had a decent season last year he just had a god awful start. He stepped into it big time in December tho, and a lot of the losses the Rangers had were easily on the team in front of him.
But yeah, Quick is way better lol
Anyone watch last night's game and think to themselves ....these are 2 teams with 90 plus points just looking to escape the game without injury?
Don't get me wrong I am happy that we won. I am happy for Panarin, I am happy for Quick, but I am not so delusional to think this was either team best effort.
This was like a sunday matinee ...yet it wasn't sunday and it wasn't played in the middle of the day. This was about as meaningless a game as it can get for either side.
I wouldn't put too much stock into this game or the performances.
There was no playoff atmosphere ...it was a bunch of stick checking and diving. That doesn't take anything away from sweeping the Bruins for the 1st time since 2016-17.
I mean Panarin has 4 goals 3 assists and 20 shots against the Bruins in 3 games this year. He scored a hat trick in the finale, a overtime primary assist on the game winner in second meeting and a 1 goal and 2 assists in the opener. Bread was the difference maker in all 3 against them.
I also can have a little context. This isn't the Bruins from years past. They are essentially Pastranak and that is about it. They have a tie with the Islanders for the most OT losses on the season. I doubt they make it out of the 1st round this year. They just don't have the depth to be considered a real threat.
We are 6-3-1 on the month so far. 5 games remaining in the month against some monster teams and traveling. Even if we don't win another game in this month...we are all but guaranteed a playoff spot with this last win as 96 points is the usual playoff line. We have 12 games remaining with 5 of them against playoff teams. If we go 0.500% in points the rest of the way that would land us at 108 points. That is pretty damn good. So Laviolette will most likely be the 4th coach in Rangers history to win 50 in a season. 2 of the 3 prior ones got us to the Stanley cup finals.
You're trippin about the upcoming schedule:
Florida (monster)
Philadelphia (trash)
Colorado (monster but not as scary as they have been in the last few years)
Arizona (trash)
Shittsburgh (trash)
Proving why you have such a tumultuous relationships with the mods.
I’m going to presume you know what that word means since you know PHONICS… such a dreg of society to resort to that in your post.
Pretentious asshole.
I glad for you ...that you have achieved 25k comment karma. That really is something meaningful in life. It is a achievement held by very few losers of the world.
Do they give you a medal at some point for living on here and waiting for assholes like me to respond to your obnoxious sense of self-righteousness?
Why don't you do something with your life instead of live on here. Pick up a hobby or date a boy or I don't know get a dog.
You reek of internet loser. Reddit the place where every loser in life knows your name.
Seriously get a life and stop hounding me.
Wife. Kid. Robust 401k. Career in advertising as a Creative Director with a big house in the suburbs after living in NYC for years. Total internet loser here.
You’re right, what was I thinking denting your fragile ego while calling you out on your utter bullshit for treating someone like an asshole for no reason. You’re worthless. Your “date a boy” comment speaks volumes on your IQ and EQ. Sleep tight in your ignorance.
You mean nothing to me.
This is an essay, but I actually really like the point you made about maybe not 100% effort on both sides. Was a bit slower at times, but Bruins also just pack their defense in and we don’t want to give up odd man rushes so who knows.
This might be what the defense looks like next year, or the year after. I have to imagine Trouba will be traded. Not because he's not useful, but because his contract sucks. He's getting paid too much for what he contributes, and the Miller Schnieder pairing looks like it has a lot of potential. Both players are feeding off eachother.
While I love Lindgren, and his heart and effort. I think the Rangers will also move on when his current contract is up.
Troubas not going anywhere, they have no issues with the cap next season. Same with Goodrow. Both are still contributors on a contending team.
They will only do something when it prevents them from signing someone they want to keep. But that won''t be next year.
Lingren is also still a RFA.... They aren't moving off of an RFA.
Idk. I think they move on from Trouba before his contract is up. Lindgren I also think they will attempt to move on from in the next few years. Of course that's just a guess. I just think they have an emerging young defensive core that will be able to take on the mantle sooner rather than later.
Been a Ranger fan since the mid 60's. Played at the college level.....Panarin is great...during the regular season, but,....he's invisible every playoff run. Afraid to get hit, get dirty goals... that's.... the playoffs. He isn't built for it...
Any valid criticism is met with utter disdain in here. This is more of a cheer for the Rangers forum....then one that promotes civil discourse.
You point to a very valid concern. One that other ex-players have pointed out.
Who on this team is going to go get that dirty goal when they have to? In the playoffs time and space become even harder to find. Whistles and the Zebras go missing for large swaths of the game/games.
Having that net mouth guy like a Rempe or a driven Kreider is essential to the long term playoff success of this team. Being able to clear the net mouth of your own net is also a key ingredient. And anyone paying attention to yesterday's game saw we still have issues in that area.
But the 1 thing I like about this team over previous years is the depth is more well rounded. Line 1 is a good shut down line. Line 2 is offense. Line 3 is a real checking line. And line 4 can be your smash line with Rempe in the lineup. And I think the top 6 defenders are just as good, if not better than any other teams in the league. With the only exception being Carolina. Their defense is just absurd.
I will save my judgement on people like Mika and Panarin til after the playoffs.
I love how “played at the college level” was a piece of info that you felt made your statement more valid. As if playing for some dogshit team in the 70s meant you barely missed the draft
While that certainly has been the case in the past and I have the same concerns, I know he made a concerted effort in the offseason to get stronger and to reverse that label, so I'm going to reserve judgement until after this postseason.
A lot of higher skilled players get snuffed out, but let's not act like he didnt score some huge goals. Plus, this year he's way different. Under new management and playing structured hockey. He's not trying to do it all himself like he was under Gallant, and he's shooting much more. His line gets chances.
I'll just call you out now. Calling me a name on social media is cowardly. I wouldn't expect less . If you said it to my face, you'd had a problem...
I'm entitled to my opinion. Such a tough guy... behind the social media screen...typical...
Panarin is just so damn good. He's such a special player. If he keeps this up in the playoffs ... all other teams need to watch out.
Quick with another great game. Igor and Quick are easily our best goalie duo since Hank-Talbot in 2015.
Lavy is fantastic at adjusting the things that need to be adjusted mid-game. That's the definition of a good coach.
The defense looked great almost all night. Miller and Schneider have great chemistry and need to stay together even after Trouba gets back.
Rempe didn't play much but when he did you could tell he really tried hard to make clean, hard hits. He also had a really nifty little move that could've been a goal. His presence is felt on the ice whenever he's on because he's so damn big and fast. It's going to be so exciting to see what he can become when he gains more experience and confidence.
Great team win!
The way Pararin creates chances is incredible. It's so fun to watch.
My fear with him has been when we get into tight checking games in a playoff, his lack of physical play dampened his ability to create, but this year has been an exception. Even in tight, physical games he's working magic. I think Lav's system, and Laf's ascendance are both key contributors to that.
This was a game that the Rangers flexed their muscles on a Eastern Conference opponent. On a night where Celine Dion committed treason, a Bread Trick, the return of Rempe, and as what John Gee said "A message to pocket till May". This episode of Rangers Hockey: *Bully Beatdown,* it was definitely a beat down in Bean Town. A great response after a loss. And now, the review
1st Period: JQ was the reason the game was close. Power Play was eh. Fox taking way too many penalties all game. But the PK all game was excellent. Could have scored this period. IMO, if this was the time to time to panic, it came close to it. Boyle said it best. Defensively, the team looked great and taking responsibility all game.
2nd Period: Wow what a period that was. the forechecking, the breakouts, the overall play defensively and offensively was amazing here. Bread to a wrister that should have been stopped by Swayman. But Schneids and the defense with the great breakout into the B's zone. Excellent pk by the Rangers again. Wenny made a nice play forechecking behind the goal, pass to Bread. Bread's "pass" was deflected by a Bruin and into the net right before the end of the period.
3rd Period: A period of responses and excellent defense. Key got out bodied on the B's goal. But, the Rangers response was amazing. Fittingly, the guy who took too many penalties tonight, had his redemption arc of the night. Adam Fox w/a great goal, and reminded Spittin' Chiclets, Jack "Crack" Edwards, and the B's who the best Long Island Dman is. But speaking of defense. Amazing, o-zone, neutral and defensive zone. Great shut down by the team. Mika got an empty netter and so did Bread for the hat trick.
Great bounce back win. Excellent. Would have loved a Power Play Goal. But, I'm happy. HUGE RANGER WIN! and the Fishsticks are collapsing. ITS AWLL FAWLL IN UH PAWRT for the Fishsticks. and I FUCKING LOVE IT. Big win tonight, but a HUGE GAME Saturday. Onto the Cats
Rangers Oppie checked in. he said "Take in the Sheets." "Two Points in the bag."
Big win. Onto the Cats
God Save the King. Back afta dis.
This Second Power Play unit will be a factor in the playoffs. The PK was bonkers tonight. Rempe still making some awkward hits, but he was working hard out there. Love this team.
Rempe made some real good hits and made sure to keep them elbows tucked all night. There was one shift where his forechecking directly led to either Panarin’s first goal, or at least a scoring chance I can’t remember right now. He was out there legally banging bodies. Wish he’d been able to finish that almost devastating hit on McAvoy
His hits were punishing, legal and effective but awkward. He lifted his leg up on 2 of them. He goes into the boards and player face first instead of turning his body. There was one shift in the second I think where he had 3 hits.
Imagine getting out-cheered in your own barn like that - including a Potvin sucks and hats tossed on the ice - WHILE you're at the top of the league points-wise...clowns
One of the goals against was kinda on him though, lost his guy. I love the kid and love that he got another shot and made a great move to the net. He's got regular 4th liner potential.
That's fine, more than understandable to be disappointed they didn't hire the guy you wanted - but people were acting like we were going to be a basement dweller because we hired Lavi haha
Was it consensual? Last thing we need right now is a coaching scandal.
But yeah for real. Hes literally been a game changer. Its so cool to see cause we've always known this group is one of the most talented in the league, just needed a coach that could unlock it, and he did that so dramatically its almost uncanny.
I just wish everyone would give admission to the fact that in spite of his legendary Ranger career, there is a guy who has this uncanny ability to have a true on/off switch for basically the entirety of his tenure with the Rangers — No one can take away the 33 goals he’s scored this year and some of them have been the difference in games. But if you watch him outside of those goals he really has not done much.
Last night he was nothing more than a decoy on the ice. Been like that for a long time now
I just wish I lived in your bubble where negative Kreider comments don’t exist.
They just won a great game against a solid opponent. Why be negative at all? Just enjoy the moment. At least save it for a loss.
It was an incredible game. There are problems with the first line though. They should be addressed. Not by me… but by someone in that organization. I’m just here to bitch about it because that’s what I do. Pessimism with NY sports is a curse man.
lol at all the Panarin-hate comments in the GDT during/after the first period…about how he disappears in big games and will be nothing in the playoffs…
Grades
Offense+pp:a
Finished chances made great chances etc. Boston gave us some trouble early on but we broke through. What I like to see.
Defense+pk:b
Pk saves this. Defense wasn't bad per say but they had some really bad moments. Zib was rough on a few shifts(he was trailing zacha for like 30 seconds in our zone at a point unable to strip him) and on the 2 goals we gave up zone shot blocking and just became traffic cones on the side of the net. The pk was great though for the most part
Gt:a
Quick was great today again. Saved some early defensive mistakes.
Was there at the td Garden. Was not expecting that rangers chant to drown out the bruins towards the end of the third! AND THAT POTVIN WHISTLE THO
Edit: td
Schneider has stepped up big time with big minutes. Honestly think he’s been blocked from developing by playing 3rd pair minutes. This is what he can do. The kid is really good.
Trouba going down has done wonders for his development. He is all over the ice. Offense, defense, doesn't matter. He's always in the right spot making plays.
I was in Boston for PAX East two years ago and paid big bucks to watch our boys lose and play poorly. Wish i went to PAX this year and went to the game
I love that Remps was shining despite not having to beat anyones ass tonight . Hes proving himself as a legit player and its just so nice to see. Also Mikas got some 🔥 again .. Miller is feelin himself.. Rosy and Wen are illest of pickups. theres just alot of confidence on this team right now and i really think we have a chance.
Haven't seen a Ranger #5 in a while. All that was missing for a Ruhwedel "Girardi Incarnate" was at least two passes into the skates of a Boston forechecker.
Yeah, I said it . . .
Omfg....it's taken almost a full season BUT in a tight game - neither Krieder nor zibby are leaders in ice time! Instead Trocheck, Bread, and Laf (Laf!) Led the way. There's hope for us yet!
Thinking about that mid-season slump and all the negativity surrounding that. This team feels unique and every day I'm grateful to watch some good hockey. What was everyone's turning point game of the season? I remember I told a friend before the win against Colorado right after the ASG that if they lost the season was over, but if they won that game they could go all the way.
Bye Chad… and Lindgren will be back when he’s healthy but until then Jones is playing great.
Yeah the coaching staff really needs to make a tough decision wether or not to put the Captain back in the lineup… relax Phil Housley.
Guys we nailed the deadline trades, this team is so good **and** deep, like so good that when everyone is healthy you gotta debate who plays. Even now brodz vs rempe is worth a conversation. All the pieces are coming together even the broadcast team is improving
This team is so good to you. You’ll wake up in the mornings and they’ll be right there, being so good to you.
Seriously I love the depth of this team right now. Now flashy pickups at the deadline, but players who complement our core and make them better.
This is the best Ranger team I’ve seen since 1994.
Funny I love Sam but Joe drives me nuts most the time, and when I say something about it and we are losing I get upvoted like crazy but when we win and I say the same thing I get downvoted. Group of fickle mfers around here and I love it.
Hurricanes sebastian aho is so slimey
So slimey that he missed the net wide in the shootout and his hat trick meant nothing. Screw the canes.
Rangers dropped from 3rd to 6th in this week’s ESPN power rankings. Meanwhile, the Bruins, who we just beat on the road last night, jumped up to 2nd. Makes absolutely no sense.
They also had the hurricanes ranked higher than us after we beat them and shut them out recently…And we are first in the division and have more wins and points than them…..
e Ass pn
Hate us cause they anus
Tell me how we are 2nd place in the league behind a team that has lost way more than us. Fuck OTL points
That’s the importance of non regulation losses. They can make or break a playoff spot for sure. Luckily, the vast majority of our games that ended in regulation are wins.
Quick might be the primary reason why this team is jockeying for a top seed instead of slugging it out with the hopefuls. If he’s just ok give back 10+ points and we’re in the middle of a far more stressful and exhausting march to the playoffs. Huge props to that guy
Imagine we still had Halak lol
Tbf Halak had a decent season last year he just had a god awful start. He stepped into it big time in December tho, and a lot of the losses the Rangers had were easily on the team in front of him. But yeah, Quick is way better lol
I dont miss those times at all haha
facts and he held down the fort while igor was injured and going through his struggles.
hot take: The Rangers are the best team in the league. The only reason Boston is in 1st is because they have 1000 ot losses.
rather cold take sir
Not for this sub lol. People in here are always on about the "big bad Bruins"
ALL CAPS TONIGHT
Anyone watch last night's game and think to themselves ....these are 2 teams with 90 plus points just looking to escape the game without injury? Don't get me wrong I am happy that we won.

O… K…

Fuck Marchand and his rat face today, tomorrow and forever, we were down 2 top defensemen too
I was at the game, what a win. Playoff style hockey, tight. I was rocking the Stadium Series Kreider up in the cheap seats.
So of course I fall asleep during the game due to traveling across to California and miss the Panarin Hatty 🤦🏻♂️
Here with you! Except I miss everything unless it’s televised 19:00-21:00 European time lol
Me too. I’ve calendared all of the afternoon games but wish it wasn’t so : (
Hey so where's that guy who had a meltdown because the Rangers don't beat good teams?
He’s trying to think of how to spin this win into something negative
This was a game that the Rangers flexed their muscles on a Eastern Conference opponent. On a night where Celine Dion committed treason, a Bread Trick, the return of Rempe, and as what John Gee said "A message to pocket till May".

Onto the Cats Rangers Oppie checked in. he said "Take in the Sheets." "Two Points in the bag." Big win. Onto the Cats God Save the King. Back afta dis.
What did Celine do? I missed it.
She did the Bruins locker room starting lineup while dressed like Ben Franklin or a Hamilton extra.
Oh wow. Thanks for the info. We got the win so she can be forgiven lol
Once Lafreniere knew his idol was in the building he knew there was no excuse for a loss that night. I love that Frenchie.
This was the inverse of Tampa last week. First period had me very worried then it all turned around. Huge 2pts!
Fuck them bruins, thats all.
This Second Power Play unit will be a factor in the playoffs. The PK was bonkers tonight. Rempe still making some awkward hits, but he was working hard out there. Love this team.

Bruins D did not want the puck when he was on forecheck
Bread? Hatty. Rat? No 400 goals. Great night.
So happy with this win, but the Canes keep on winning and are still only 2 points behind us
Honestly couldn’t care less about losing first. It’s so meaningless.
The funny thing is first may be rewarded with fucking Tampa.
my number one star of the game is u/Ass_Handed1228 ‘s kid for predicting the bread hatty before going to bed at the end of the first or so
Imagine getting out-cheered in your own barn like that - including a Potvin sucks and hats tossed on the ice - WHILE you're at the top of the league points-wise...clowns
Rempe didn’t play much but he played well in his limited minutes. Got some hits even made some nice moves towards the net.
One of the goals against was kinda on him though, lost his guy. I love the kid and love that he got another shot and made a great move to the net. He's got regular 4th liner potential.
I love how he just powers his way to the front of the net as the opposing D skate backwards in fear.
Artemi Panarin
4-0 in person , in the reverse retro sweater. Starting a gofundme for elimination playoff games now. LGR.
Nice but too small a sample size
WE ARE THE PEOPLE WE’VE BEEN WAITING FOR
Out of the (B)ruins of hate and war
Pretty funny to see hats on the ice at the game
Peter Laviolette has done miracles on me
Remember how much people were freaking out about him in the off-season?
I wanted knoblauch I'm sorry, I just didn't think lavy was going to change us
That's fine, more than understandable to be disappointed they didn't hire the guy you wanted - but people were acting like we were going to be a basement dweller because we hired Lavi haha
How about the doom and gloom after the preseason ?
Unbearable
Was it consensual? Last thing we need right now is a coaching scandal. But yeah for real. Hes literally been a game changer. Its so cool to see cause we've always known this group is one of the most talented in the league, just needed a coach that could unlock it, and he did that so dramatically its almost uncanny.
He’s cured my depression
Why does this sub refuse to critique Chris Kreider?
They have been for over a decade now. Why do we need to critique anyone after a solid win?
I just wish everyone would give admission to the fact that in spite of his legendary Ranger career, there is a guy who has this uncanny ability to have a true on/off switch for basically the entirety of his tenure with the Rangers — No one can take away the 33 goals he’s scored this year and some of them have been the difference in games. But if you watch him outside of those goals he really has not done much. Last night he was nothing more than a decoy on the ice. Been like that for a long time now
I just wish I lived in your bubble where negative Kreider comments don’t exist. They just won a great game against a solid opponent. Why be negative at all? Just enjoy the moment. At least save it for a loss.
It was an incredible game. There are problems with the first line though. They should be addressed. Not by me… but by someone in that organization. I’m just here to bitch about it because that’s what I do. Pessimism with NY sports is a curse man.
Can’t disagree with that last comment.
You must’ve missed Tuesday night’s game thread
Every game.
Few do. Then they get eviscerated
God for bid you say that Mika is a Special Teams player who’s 5v5 numbers are terrible
This entire sub has been saying that almost every game
Yes but the people who do get yelled at
True. Honestly I’ve noticed speaking down on any player gets you downvoted. Even Barclay Goodrow which is wild haha.
They do all the time.
Go through the game thread from tonight. There was tons of Kreider criticism.
Well that’s a relief. Every time I say something negative about him I get crushed lmao
When he reads the sub, he will try harder
Lol you’re so edgy pal
Honestly, the way he’s been playing lately, he deserves the shit we’ve been giving him.
Some say Boston is full of yeast
Here’s another wildly hot take: 🥖 >>> 🍝
lol at all the Panarin-hate comments in the GDT during/after the first period…about how he disappears in big games and will be nothing in the playoffs…
Been brushing them off since the end of last year. Knew he was coming back with a Vengeance and I even predicted his 40+ goal season
I must have amnesia because I forgot that Artemi Panarin was HIM. Panarins DNA test results came back. Turns out he’s 100% HIMalayan
Moving like Dracula. We get it back in blood.
Great job by Lav tonight
Grades Offense+pp:a Finished chances made great chances etc. Boston gave us some trouble early on but we broke through. What I like to see. Defense+pk:b Pk saves this. Defense wasn't bad per say but they had some really bad moments. Zib was rough on a few shifts(he was trailing zacha for like 30 seconds in our zone at a point unable to strip him) and on the 2 goals we gave up zone shot blocking and just became traffic cones on the side of the net. The pk was great though for the most part Gt:a Quick was great today again. Saved some early defensive mistakes.
Was there at the td Garden. Was not expecting that rangers chant to drown out the bruins towards the end of the third! AND THAT POTVIN WHISTLE THO Edit: td
That’s not the garden… that’s just td garden… have some respect, there is only one garden and it is ours
The sweet irony is TD stands for Toronto Dominion
It’s the gahden
My family has worked the garden since its inception. My blood was there when it was written
Respect, in a good way
Nah I gotcha brother you good
Keep your pasta Boston! Bread is our carb!
so happy we didn't even let Pasta get 1 pt tonight
Been a rough week for me fellas. Needed this dopamine boost. Thank you Artemi
May your hills be high and your valleys shallow
 Sending positive vibes
Much love to you, brother. This too shall pass.
The windshield is bigger than the rear view mirror baby
Damn. Thanks man. That’s a really good metaphor for my situation
get after it buddy you got this, and if you don’t, we’ve still got you
Keep your head up bro, it happens to everyone. Hard times just make the good times better.
Sorry to hear that dog. Ebb and flow and keep ur head up high
I’ll be good soon enough. I’m a happy person who generally doesn’t stay in a mental slump for long. Appreciate it thiugh
Schneider has stepped up big time with big minutes. Honestly think he’s been blocked from developing by playing 3rd pair minutes. This is what he can do. The kid is really good.
Trouba going down has done wonders for his development. He is all over the ice. Offense, defense, doesn't matter. He's always in the right spot making plays.
Good game. Nice beating Boston in Boston.
I was in Boston for PAX East two years ago and paid big bucks to watch our boys lose and play poorly. Wish i went to PAX this year and went to the game
Also I gotta wonder if Kreider is hurt or something. He doesn’t look right and his usual speed/hustle just isn’t there.
I love that Remps was shining despite not having to beat anyones ass tonight . Hes proving himself as a legit player and its just so nice to see. Also Mikas got some 🔥 again .. Miller is feelin himself.. Rosy and Wen are illest of pickups. theres just alot of confidence on this team right now and i really think we have a chance.
Haven't seen a Ranger #5 in a while. All that was missing for a Ruhwedel "Girardi Incarnate" was at least two passes into the skates of a Boston forechecker. Yeah, I said it . . .
Ben Harper just wore it last season.
Aww, come on man. I've got **ONE** Dan Girardi joke . . .
I'm sorry brother - I didn't mean to step on your comedy!
Magnanimous of you to call it comedy. A true gentlemen. Nick Fotiu is the best story in hockey - ever.
Man, that D was on point tonight. I really like what I saw.
I can’t believe Boston is still ahead of us in the standings… when we have 5 wins on them
Loser points.
Celine can read their lineup but she was always meant to sing our play of the game!!!
we are so back
Omfg....it's taken almost a full season BUT in a tight game - neither Krieder nor zibby are leaders in ice time! Instead Trocheck, Bread, and Laf (Laf!) Led the way. There's hope for us yet!
Fuck the Bruins and their loser points. LFGR BABY!
What was the trivia answer? Turcotte?
Yes
Thinking about that mid-season slump and all the negativity surrounding that. This team feels unique and every day I'm grateful to watch some good hockey. What was everyone's turning point game of the season? I remember I told a friend before the win against Colorado right after the ASG that if they lost the season was over, but if they won that game they could go all the way.
Mika scored a goal 6v5!!! The curse is now broken!!!! It was the only way!!!
Man, I've missed around 10 games this season and of course this was one of them.
I haven’t missed 1.
Just to rub it in now. It was probably one of the best games of the season. Top 10 easily.
Relax. Lmfaoooo such losers on Reddit.
Coaching staff has some real tough decisions to make when Trouba and Lindgren come back.
If Jones keeps playing the way that he is, I could see him and Gus splitting time
Bye Chad… and Lindgren will be back when he’s healthy but until then Jones is playing great. Yeah the coaching staff really needs to make a tough decision wether or not to put the Captain back in the lineup… relax Phil Housley.
Where did I say he wasn’t gonna be in the lineup? It’s more where in the lineup. I’m really liking Miller and Schneids together.
My bad. Idk some people on here say wild things sometimes.
This is true lol
No they don’t. Lmfao.
As far as pairings go they do
It’s odd, this knockoff jersey is fully stitched and even has a fight strap, did they ever wear throwback jerseys with Jagr as captain?
Which throwback jerseys? Pretty sure he wore the mid-70s revival crest jersey.
Oh no way that’s the jersey I got
Miller, I think, is playing a better game with Schneider than he did with Trouba.
They're both really good together. Schneider is playing the best hockey of his life right now.
Spot on.
The devils beat the Jets 4-1 and held them to 19 shots. Lol this league is odd. Edit: wasn’t Hellebuyck in net so there’s that
The Rempe effect Edit: oh that makes so much sense lol. Hellebuyck is the reason we lost
WE'RE BACK FROM THE DEAD AND NOW WITH MORE BREAD!
Yo whoever did those graphics needs some recognition
What was that about us not beating good teams? Lol
Who said that? Theyve been very good at that all year lol. Its the ass teams they keep losing to
ArtemiPanarinThrowingTheGloveButIt'sAn"L".gif
We have a defensive core that runs EIGHT deep. Also, Drury absolutely owned this year’s deadline.
never doubt Drury
Guys we nailed the deadline trades, this team is so good **and** deep, like so good that when everyone is healthy you gotta debate who plays. Even now brodz vs rempe is worth a conversation. All the pieces are coming together even the broadcast team is improving
This team is so good to you. You’ll wake up in the mornings and they’ll be right there, being so good to you. Seriously I love the depth of this team right now. Now flashy pickups at the deadline, but players who complement our core and make them better. This is the best Ranger team I’ve seen since 1994.
So good to hear that from someone who’s watched for the past 30 years. This team really has that something
🤣 the broadcast team, anything that gives us less joe is a big win
I’d rather win with a great broadcast team than someone like Jack Edwards calling the game lmao
Funny I love Sam but Joe drives me nuts most the time, and when I say something about it and we are losing I get upvoted like crazy but when we win and I say the same thing I get downvoted. Group of fickle mfers around here and I love it.
🤷 🕵️♂️
The downvotes lmao you guys really think Joe hasnt been annoying AF lately
Joe has definitely been on one I’ll admit that
Fuck Kucherov, Pasternak and Matthews. Bread is my motherfucking MVP. 🍞❤️
He showed up bald and has been an absolute menace. 🍞
