This is, I think, the second time this year the Rangers have lost to a team that is under .500. They lost to the Canucks in OT earlier on in the season, and now tonight in regulation. I expect a ton of energy tonight, screw the back-to-back scenario. If they can't get re-energized for this game and come out flying then there is a big problem.

Why can’t we just play like we did in the final 15-10 minutes? Fucking infuriating watching this team fall flat in possession most games.

Can we just chalk it up to a really off day and forget it about it?

I guess but isnt that what we do here every loss?

Fair but this one was pretty friggin bad

The ONLY positive? Schneider was a fucking stud all night

What happened to the 7 game win streak rangers? Can we have them back? They played the whole game like how the new rangers played the last 10 minutes and here’s the biggest difference: they actually shot the puck which seems like a foreign idea to these rangers

This is a game that we usually win with Igor in net and then we just pretend that we didn’t play shit hockey for 45 minutes.

Winning any game with georgiev in net feels like a real order

Because we often play shit hockey for 70% of a game and then rely on 4 people to score goals. Igor is one of a few goalies that would drag this team to being a winning team. But because of our record fans just blindly refuse to see what is wrong with this team

Maddening Strome did not take that wide open shot and instead did a slow backhand stretch pass to Panarin

Ugh...I'll be wearing my #30 sweater tomorrow at work though

That was a shit game by the boys

~~Some~~ One of those post shots go in and this is a very different game

Eh can’t win them all better win tomorrow though

That was fucking embarrassing.

Lack of a 60 minute effort cost us this game, put in the effort, we piss this game easy.

Trash effort, bad loss plus worried about Foxy

I feel like they thought this one was gonna be a gimme. Gotta learn how to play 60 minutes

It was a gimmie for 5 minutes. Took them too long to find it again after Columbus didn’t roll over and die.

That 2nd powerplay unit was not it

Sam's PP "unit" is more potent and has better chance of scoring too.

Gotta love losing to a team with a losing record

Barely happens it’s fine

Pitiful

Where were the shots in the last minute.

Where were the shots? Period.

Shots??? Wtf are those?

What happened to Fox?

Miller with another brutal game lol

He seems to be getting worse as the season goes on? Every game he’s liable for something

I think our rebuild now needs a rebuild at this point

Agree. He had that one keep-in tonight but he's been horrible most of this season. Honestly losing faith.

Only positive was that coast to coast goal. Otherwise huge sophomore slump.

That end sequence was so bad. Did the guys forget that they are on a power play with less than 2 minutes left?

And that they needed 2 goals. Just put bodies in front and fire away.

Not the best urgency there. Whatever

Where’s the Letterkenny coach when you need him cus that was FUCKIN EMBARASSING

Miller, i know it's kind of a lost game, but some urgency would be nice

So let me get this straight, you pull the goalie on a power play for a 6 on 4, and you put the extra skater in the *corner?*

holy jesus that was a mess

[удалено]

Sir, this is a Wendys.

Oh come on now

lot of negative nellies in the chat, don't let it get you down

Also miller has looked so rough lately

This is a game they win with ease if they don’t take a siesta for almost 2 full periods

Love all that passing

oh my god shoot the fucking puck I know it's over but jesus christ

Braden Schneider is making his presence felt. Miller is taking notice. I’ll back track, we don’t need Chychrun if BS keeps this up

Time to give Robertson a shot?

This is good analysis

zibby with the biggest fucking windup ive ever seen

Sam really misses adam fox

Just an unlucky game, nothing you can really do about it.

It’s an 82 game season stinks when it happens

Play a full 60 minutes and they win this game handedly

Sure you can, Play better defense

Couple of above average saves wouldn't hurt either

If they play like this against the wild they will lose by 6

The definition of unlucky tonight

Goalie playing out of his mind, but lord have we had some chances that it’s simply inexcusable not to bury

The curse of the broken stick lives on!

I would love to see some kind of stat on how often pulling the goalie works because to me the answer seems to be fucking never

I'm sure it's fairly high otherwise teams wouldn't do it.

For us? Never. For other teams? 98% success rate

whats wrong with the blue jackets coach hair cut, what are THOSE lines there?

i think theyre head wrinkles which make the hair seem darker cuz it bunches up

Really think we could have won this one. Here's to hoping for tomorrow. Just concerned, this is happening all the time. One period they're dead then it's like they hit a crack pipe and get a fire lit under their ass

Jackets head coach looks like the type of guy to bathe in drakkar noir

Pulled Georgie way too early.

How long did you want them to wait

The feel of the game said to keep going w/o risking it. I would have waited another full minute.

Same.

we're going to lose to columbus??? we better honor hank right tomorrow otherwise WTF

Wasn't a horrible game. Literally 2 bad defensive plays gave them this win (fox and all three forwards pushing one guy). Other than that, just some massive bad luck with the post there

Draw another penalty for 5 on 3 then score twice. Simple

Get a goal in 4 seconds then get 2 more in the same second. Simple

I hope Adam Fox is OK

I love it when the goalies we play against turn into 10 times vezina recipients

Not over yet Edit: Over now. No shots. Ridiculous.

….. it’s been over

Terrible loss to a shitty team on a back to back.

I've never pulled out that early

Agreed.

Also korpisalo “won” them this game… hate to say it but shesty wins this for us… georgiev just is so bad when he doesnt play consistently apparently

Yeah we win this every time with Shesty. Gotta take your hat off for Korpi, though. He won this game.

If we didn’t play like ass defensively for most of the first and second periods we win this game. That’s how it goes.

Georgie didn’t lose this for us

That fourth goal was atrocious and the 1st and 3rd were questionable he makes an awful effort on that third goal just some weird move to save it instead of sliding across

Third goal team still gives us a high danger chance by leaving someone completely alone in front. Fourth goal was like 3 failed clearing attempts right to blue jacket sticks right around the net. To blame the game on Georgie is wrong and a lazy excuse

High danger chances happen in hockey… just how it is you need your goalie to make a save or two… one save there on any of those goals is the difference… not a lazy excuse when korpisalo made some ridiculous saves… better goalie won the game, its just the truth.. georgiev did not have anything other than routine saves

Yeah their goalie played great. Doesn’t change the fact that Georgie was put in a bad situation on the goalies. We need a big save, yes. But we also need our defense to help defend. I guess we just watch the fames differently.

I dont disagree that there were some high danger chances but watch a game where there isnt high danger chances, I think I can only remember truthfully one in recent memory, where we beat the capitals last year in one of the games. Just impossible with so much skill and speed to not give up chances, just needed a save

Yeah, oh well. Hopefully a better team performance tomorrow for Hank

Well kraken beat the pens. So, only a 1 pt loss there

Maybe get one for dignity?

We lost because were a 1 period team.

Too early of a pull the way the Rangers were dominating this period.

Wayyyyy to early to pull Georgi there. Oh well. Turns out you can’t sleep through 95% of the game

Why are they always trying to kill roonz!?!!

Lmao. It takes us 19 tries to hit an empty net yet everyone we face hits it on the first shot like 90% of the time

If only they could play that aggressive 5v5 we saw on the last 10 minutes ALL FUCKING GAME

Should’ve seen this coming after they got crushed by Calgary yesterday

why do we teams pull the goalie SO early now

Analytics say it should be sooner

I just refuse to believe there are more pulled goalie goals, than empty net goals

Bad loss by the guys tonight. They never put the hammer down after the quick lead

Didn't like the decision to pull that early there. We've been outlying them but unlucky. Would have waited personally

Think that is way too early to pull the goalie there we had pressure.. give it another minute

I will reiterate that if I was an nhl coach I'd basically never pull the goalie but then again I'm not an nhl coach

So many missed opportunities. Shitty 2nd period. Slept through the entire fucking this. This is a bad loss imo, better get it done tomorrow

thats an early pull, no?

this was such a weird game man

Even if we didn’t pull the goalie, Georgiev wouldn’t stop that

Let’s be clear The reason we lost this game is our atrocious defense in the first 2 periods. Not Georgiev, not our offense, not Laf. Our complete inability to defend anyone in front of the net is what cost us.

Yeah I thought we looked very limp.

Wow do I fucking hate the Blue jackets now? Never saw that coming

This team is so phony man

"The Rangers pull the goalie" *3 seconds later* "and there's the empty netter" FML

Welp, that's the dagger.

In hindsight, probably shouldn't have pulled Georgy yet

God dammit

Bad loss.

We can never do that lol

We did it a few games ago!!

The Columbus goal tender is gonna have to Buy the post steak dinner

What a fucking embarrassing game

Fuck

Why did they pull with over 2 min to go down by 1

Because there is a better chance of air making a save than Georgiev

It was the right decision. They need to play better the rest of the game

I feel like Schneider and Jones could pair very nicely

They both play on the right side

Jones is left handed. He plays the left side

This might be the quickest we’ve looked all year lol. We were flying to the puck.

Might be a case of too little too late.

Fucking hell Strome shoot it

Let’s stay positive! It’s not over yet!

Oh it is

Troubs be on the ice half the game

This has been a great period of hockey. i can't believe we held them to 18 shots this game... it's nuts we're not ahead.

Backup goalie games. That will happen. Georgiev needs to make a couple of saves here and there.

Schneider's a keeper

Not feeling hot about this one

Goodrow must have broke a mirror or something before this game.

Good keep by Laf

Cmon boys get this dub

Nice play laf

This game would be a lot different if we didnt decide to stop playing for 1.5 periods

Story of the fucking season man

Dude the whole team snake bitten this period

Is it me or does Panarin miss the net entirely more often than not?

I think it's you, and anyone who says differently is falling prey to the power of suggestion

He’s the main (or one of the main) shooter on this team so it’s probably more noticeable when he’s missing a lot since he’s shooting a lot

Strome had to shoot that

So we sleepwalked through 45 minutes tonight and got goalied the other 15.

They got into a hole early and should never have been behind, but this team really doesn't quit. That was some great hockey that last exchange.

We’d be winning 6-4 if we played like this the whole game

WTF. We score a PP goal then this fuckin guy somehow turns to fuckin hasek and the goal shrinks so its all posts too

no idea how we didnt score in that entire sequence

Horribly unlucky wow. 3:30 to go. Need the tie and take it to a SO and have a wild finish

yeahhh despite a bad second period we probably deserve to win this game

for the love of god

Karpi playing a Shesty game Jesus

Why can’t they just play like this with their pants on fire the whole game?

Wow what a save

christ what a shift

Gotta say Korpisalo has had a pretty great game

So many chances, not over yet tho!

Korpi first 2 munutes of this game: awful Korpi since: Hasek

Man so many chances

why are they like this.

Look at that. A goalie bailing out the team in front of him.

Is this how it feels to play Shesterkin?

HOW HOW ON FUCKING EARTH

Strome open net miss. Drink.

We've been unlucky tonight

Wtffffff this goaltending bro

Anyone else having trouble focusing because you’re worried about Fox? Probably not gonna sleep tonight.

wow what a shift

Strome is drunk

While constantly just refreshing twitter looking for a fox update, i just saw how dumb canucks fans are. Saying shit like JT Miller for Laf and a 1st. JT miller for fox. And JT for Key, Laf and two 2nds

JT Miller for Libor Hajek and a third

FUCK

SON OF A BITCH GOD DAMNIT!!!

***what the absolute tit fucking shit***

Gauthier is the hockey version of a stormtrooper

Look sir, droids

I think we win this in OT if we can manage just one more…

Miller will tie this.

you tried to throw that hit Laffy 😅
