Just wanted to say that it's been a great pleasure sharing the season with you guys. Tonight was a heartbreaker but still... It's been a great ride the last two years. There's been some negative bullshit and dupe garbage going on with the game thread but I wanted to thank you guys for a great time. I had a great time with you.
I'm sure I'll miss naming you guys but thanks to arc, Brett, fmic, Mab, Giants2012, Anak, Mook, baadbill, Redbeard, marty866, gisntsfootball025, juggernaut, Ash3, Kyle in Clifford Park with An olive garden, RDJR, yat, mfsd, BurberryManning, djm, timintey, gidie, rodneyhamp, wuphat, swirlingeddie, bigbluehoya, bamablue, Greg, Carl in Ct...etc
IM sorry if I missed you. Truly. Honestly. If I did please post up so we can acknowledge. Sincerely.
You guys are awesome and bring me back to this site every day. Thank you from the bottom...and looking forward to our next run.
We had some great moments this season. And it was a ton of fun going through all the highs and lows with you guys. Wouldn't have it any other way. On to next season.
Now it's on to the GMen.
Shame it ended this way, but that was sure a fun season
Thanks to those diehards that post every game.
Kudos to all for a great year and hopefully the team on the 7th floor (or whatever floor the ice is on these days) hoists one soon!
I cant say this was a successful season. It wasn't. You don't hang Presidents Trophies in the rafters - it was Cup or bust, and it fell painfully short.
But it wasn't for lack of effort on our part... or the players parts. Is what it is. Long offseason.
Indeed. Sorry Hudson. You're a huge part of our fandom. Despite the nonsense we know you're a good fan and you offer some good stuff. Glad to have you bud.
See you in free agency

Aww geez....and I was expecting a sarcastic comment...that's the nicest thing somebody has said to me on this board.
Too bad it had to come on a night like this.
Hopefully we can one day all enjoy a cup together. Thought this was going to be the year, but it wasn't meant to be.
Fuck.
Thanks everyone for sharing a couple hours a few times a week. Next season will be here soon enough.
TB was the one team in this playoffs who I worried about the most. Damn it Detroit!! There's always next year.
Still it was a great run - and while I'm not really a game thread person -- I am a B in ALB fan -- and as for the rest of you - #LGR!!!!!
Yeah BabY!
This really was a fun season, but boy does it just suck shit today.
Love the Ranger threads.
SiF.
Still in all, a most enjoyable run..
I look forward to some offseason discussion and the "my Rangers offseason plan" threads.
Let's go Ducks/Hawks.
It sucks but I'm still proud of the Rangers and shame on the ones that go the "they didn't want it no effort" route... That's just ridiculous. No team wants it more than the NY Rangers I just hope history is fair to this team even if they don't win the cup. I love this fucking team. And they will be back.
Kevin Klein - B
JT Miller - B
Kevin Hayes - B+ (because he struggled in the playoffs, but I don't blame him due to the extended schedule that he wasn't used to)
Tanner Glass - D+
Derick Brassard - B+/A-
Marc Staal - B, but injury should make it an Inc.
Jesper Fast - B
Chris Kreider - B+
Derek Stepan - B/B+
Dan Boyle - B
Martin St. Louis - D
Ryan McDonagh - B-/C+, but injury should make it an Inc.
Dominic Moore - B+
Mats Zuccarello - Inc.
Matt Hunwick - B
James Sheppard - B-
Rick Nash - you know the deal. I don't know. Amazing during regular season, but shit the bed in the playoffs. IDK what that equates to.
Carl Hagelin - B
Keith Yandle - B-/B
Henrik Lundqvist - B+
Cam Talbot - A
Post injury was a D
Stepan was a no show after game 1 of this series. Just awful
Post injury was a D
I agree. So I averaged it out, but gave him the benefit of the doubt because of his injury. I still expect him to be on the team as our 2nd pair RD.
But that's my prediction. Not saying I want it to happen or not, but that's my bold prediction for the summer.
Who said anything about Cam for Nail straight up?
Whatever. Trying to speculate on Sather is pointless.
But that's my prediction. Not saying I want it to happen or not, but that's my bold prediction for the summer.
Hope you're correct. Would be nice to add a Brassard type talent.
Oh Christ, i'd send Boston anything they wanted for him.
Looking forward to next season. Should have some epic showdowns for years to come
I'll see you animals in free agency
The last two years were a lot like those 70's teams... they would always compete, but it seemed there was always one team that took it to them at the worst time. It's amazing to think that the '94 season was 21 years ago... it's amazing to think that it's the only Stanley Cup for a great franchise since 19-friggin'-40. Today, I feel much the same way after the 49'ers 'bungle by the bay game' in '03. A couple of days and I'll be able to look back and enjoy the ride...
And really that 2003 team didn't have a real shot to win a Super Bowl, so it hurt less, even if the anger at the time was crazy.
This one hurts and will hurt until we win one, which may never happen.
Shitty, shitty feeling.
Stanley Cups are things that happen to other teams.
