NFT: Rangers @ Tampa Bay, 7:30pm ET

NYerInMA : 11/2/2017 5:52 pm
October was a turdburger, let's hope November will be better. That being said, TB is the #1 team in the East currently, and beating them in Tampa is a tall order. Rumor is that Brendan Smith will be benched, meaning that at least one of the useless Kampfer/Holden combo will be playing. Prepare for pain!

The drop off in Smith's play  
Stufftherun : 11/2/2017 6:12 pm : link
from last season is just so disappointing. Play for a contract, sign a contract and then take the first month of the 2017 campaign off. I hope he returns to the form we witnessed after he arrived in NY.

I'm sure I'm in the minority but I don't have a problem with Kampfer who can skate and move the puck. Granted, it's not easy playing on a limited basis.
Always hold  
Stufftherun : 11/2/2017 8:18 pm : link
my breath with this team on the 4 on 4 but nice to see us convert. Kreider getting it going of late.
1-0 lead in goals,  
NYerInMA : 11/2/2017 8:23 pm : link
13-8 lead in SOG too. Keep it up!
Excellent 1st  
hitchchops2 : 11/2/2017 8:24 pm : link
Been such a disaster I would have taken the scoreless tie...conflicted about the Kreider trade rumblings, he does seem to be coming to life lately.
Terrible SHG given up  
NYerInMA : 11/2/2017 9:04 pm : link
both skaters went to the same guy. Ugh.
Just an ugly series of plays  
Stufftherun : 11/2/2017 9:05 pm : link
and of course a gaffe in their own zone.
Well they got at least one point  
NYerInMA : 11/2/2017 10:22 pm : link
Now let's see if they can pick up the second one.
JTeeeeeee!!!

Nice drive by Miller  
bigbluehoya : 11/2/2017 10:27 pm : link
That was a pretty good game.

I do hate that TBL team.
2 big points  
NYerInMA : 11/2/2017 10:27 pm : link
and we have our first winning streak of the season!

Keep building. Brick by brick.

And if it takes more threats of AVs job - so be it too.

I think I've reached the point that wins depress me, because it means the cretin who coaches the team won't be going anywhere.
Side note  
Rob in Rockaway : 11/3/2017 11:00 am : link
Stamkos is great but he is among the whiniest bitches ever. I'd like to see someone pop him good in the chops and shut him up.
That's a huge win for the Rangers  
pjcas18 : 11/3/2017 11:05 am : link
didn't see it, I had a meeting, but I know some fans like to be pessimistic, but man TB has looked like the class of the East. I'd feel good about my team if they won that game. On the road.

Did any of you people who watched the game notice Sergachev? How did he look?

Always interested in former prospects of the habs.
They really shelter Sergachev  
Kyle in NY : 11/3/2017 12:28 pm : link
nearly 75% offensive zone starts on the season and a lot of PP time.

But I think that's one you're going to regret, pj. Big defensemen with that kind of ability don't come around too often. I really thought MTL needed to come out of that deal with a center, as good as Drouin may be

I already regret it. MTL needs C and D, and they trade a blue chop D prospect for a wing.

Though Drouin is playing C, and I don't think he's embarrassing himself, it's not his best position.

And I like Drouin, but some of his skill is marginalized in a Julien system.

lol, I heard the announcers cite that number last night and didn't check to see if it was updated. Or maybe I misheard.

Reimer sucks. He's given up about 20 goals in his last 5 starts.

Very disappointed in McDonagh. Good player, not what I thought he'd become.

Great trade for the Rangers, but as a 22 year old I thought holy shit this guy is going to be awesome and I'd lose sleep over that trade for years. Perennial Norris candidate type good.

eh, still a good player, but one I no longer lose sleep over from a trade standpoint. He's never cracked top 10 for Norris and doesn't look like he ever will, seems to have plateaued and I don't think it's all being paired with "an anchor", his offensive game never grew to the point I expected and certainly isn't consistent.

At this point I expect Skjei to be a better player than McDonagh in the short-term.

Subban and Sergachev trades bother me way more than McDonagh at this point.
Ridiculous goddamn goal  
MetsAreBack : 11/4/2017 9:43 pm : link
Utterly ridiculous from no angle.

They pulled a goalie with 2;12 left because the entire league knows this team cannot hold a lead late. No defensive structure, wrong personnel, wrong philosophy, and a goalie who's just mentally gone late with leads

Unreal
Lol

Got it anyway  
MetsAreBack : 11/4/2017 9:49 pm : link
Thank God
Got the win though  
Kyle in NY : 11/4/2017 9:50 pm : link
JT and Shattenkirk with big nights. Shattenkirk is as advertised offensively, maybe even better than I thought
Take the points of course  
MetsAreBack : 11/4/2017 9:51 pm : link
But you can't be serious with all the EN goals against this team the past 12
Months. It's just about goddamn automatic
Was only laughing  
Kyle in NY : 11/4/2017 9:52 pm : link
cause I had a feeling I'd see your post after another 6 on 5 goal. It was a great shot but it needs to be stopped. There is something odd with this team and defending against the extra attacker for maybe three seasons running now. Just like there's no confidence they can get it done

They deserved the win though, played a solid game, Florida got some strange goals
HL  
bigbluehoya : 11/4/2017 9:55 pm : link
Had the angle and 100% vision. He’s gotta stop that.

Miller was fucking flying tonight.
I don't mean to pick on hank  
MetsAreBack : 11/4/2017 9:56 pm : link
Not that he reads BBi regardless. Just extreme frustration because I want this room and particularly hank to get one more shot and raise a cup. But why the fuck can we not stop a 6 on 5 ? It's always something different - the goalie, a D play, forward out of position... the tape is out. Down one goal they pulled a goalie with 2:15 left... the rangers absolutely have to somehow correct this. If you're even average teams only do this the last 60-90 seconds
Would be curious to see  
Kyle in NY : 11/4/2017 10:09 pm : link
how we rank relative to the rest of the league 6 on 5. Certainly feels like we give up a lot but at the same time we finish it off more often than not, the failures just stick in our minds. Especially off a brutal playoff with 3 late game tying goals last season
No way that  
Phil in LA : 11/4/2017 10:21 pm : link
should have gone to overtime, but at least Shatty ended it pretty quickly.
I see Brendon Smith is a healthy scratch again tonight  
MetsAreBack : 11/6/2017 7:55 pm : link
I guess he has looked slow and stupid for most of this season, but I do hope there's a plan here... you know, unless the plan is to admit defeat on a $19 million contract 15 games into the 4 year commitment.
Slow and stupid?  
Greg from LI : 11/6/2017 7:57 pm : link
That distinguishes him from Holden and Staal how?
Shatt-deuces  
bigbluehoya : 11/6/2017 9:15 pm : link
With a big PPG to tie it at 2 in the third.
and less than two minutes later  
MetsAreBack : 11/6/2017 9:21 pm : link
they retake the lead. We must play from behind 90% of the time at home this season.
Kid Kreiy-dah  
MetsAreBack : 11/6/2017 9:25 pm : link
continues to heat up. 3-3.

Now please - no more goals allowed please Defense/Hank.

NYR have finally woken the fuck up.
Three assists for Zibanejad  
Greg from LI : 11/6/2017 9:33 pm : link
Now at 8-9-17 in 16 games. Might he be blossoming into a true #1 center?
.  
arcarsenal : 11/6/2017 9:40 pm : link
So.. now the question is... will we give up the tying goal once they yank Bobrovsky?
Boom
