Fuck you dudes (again) for having me create this thread.
The Islanders have won eight straight against the Rangers since Dec. 6, 2016 and they're 12-1-0 against the Rangers since Dec. 2, 2015.
Soooooo I think it's about time the Rangers win one! Get it for us, Georgiev! And let Chytil's streak continue.
He makes Booger look like Curt Gowdy.
I miss the good ol' days when Butch on the Islanders telecast and Chico Resch on the Devils telecast would bitch and moan about how Rangers fans were taking over their home arenas.
Ummm. Last year the only year we shat the bed in how long??
Saw that as well. They're having a blast.
Ummm. Last year the only year we shat the bed in how long??
That's rich.
We were both at the bottom of the Metro last year and I'm pretty sure the Islanders didn't finish ahead of us a single time since the lockout prior.
Your team wins 5-0 and you have nothing but this level of anger about the other teams announcers? Holy shit you are a miserable fuck. Seems all the other Ranger fans managed to enjoy this.

Well I was able to watch (listen to) the Rangers broadcast... I sacrificed HiDef but it was worth it for me ;)

Oh, shut up Mike from Ohio. You're so Fucking boring. Uggh.

You have to speak Butch. I think he was trying to say they had nothing to cheer about when playing the Islanders the past two years.
And then his speed while skating with the puck... being hounded by an Islander right on his heels, he went behind his own net and just blasted up ice like he was shot from a cannon
Great shot and great skating ability with the puck on his stick.

If that's what he meant - fair enough, and true.

You too, my friend. Best to you and yours!
And, to be sure, I’m not saying the Rangers will make the playoffs or, if they do, that they’d be going anywhere ... i just thought it was an interesting stat and amazed Valiquette took the time to look that up after lurking on our thread the other day! haha
Mittelstadt is doing alright in Buffalo
Rasmussen has 7 points in 19 games
Tippett and Nick Suzuki are doing very well in the OHL
Chytil looks like a star in the making, but I am a bit concerned about Lias' lack of productivity
but at the same time, I think he’s only been getting around 5 minutes a game; he’s been playing on the 4th line; and he’s still a kid and probably stressed as hell over getting that 1st goal,
so I’ve been telling myself to wait until season’s end and hopefully things will be very different for him by then

He just turned 20 years old. Nothing is guaranteed in sports, but the guy is a good skater, he has speed, good hands, good shot, good hockey IQ, and he's a hard worker, and yes, plays the cliched 200 foot game. He's a high character guy too, who isn't afraid to play physical.
He led the Swedish Superelit in points as a 17 year old and PIMS (or close to it with PIMS) that's a Peter Forsberg, Adam Graves, Dino Ciccarelli, etc. stunt.
I likened Andersson to Marchand - but not a douche like Marchand (as far as I know), and Marchand only broke 50 points once he was paired with Bergeron and was 22 years old. Two full seasons from now for Andersson and I think he can do that too.
Be patient. Every time I've watched Andersson (until the NHL) he was one of the most noticeable players on the ice. And that's on teams with Dahlin, Petterson, and Boqvist among others playing against other countries all-stars.
Martin Necas was just publicly ripped by his coach (AHL), at least Quinn isn't pulling any of that shit and hurting their confidence, he seems to be putting all the young guys in positions to succeed without a lot of pressure and I think that's smart and will pay off in the long run.
I think Chytl's early production is creating unrealistic expectations for Lias. It's possible - well, almost certain, that Chytl is playing over his head right now. He's obviously not going to continue to be a PPG player from here on out, but the goal streak is obviously nice to see.
He's adjusting well and doing a lot of really good things thus far - he's ahead of schedule, so it seems like Lias is behind. But that's probably not the case.
Lias is still just 20 years old and more often than not, it's going to take some time for a player this young to acclimate and adjust. Most guys aren't McDavid, Laine, Matthews, etc.
Lias' average TOI is like ~10 min - so, Quinn is obviously working him into the fold slowly and letting him learn a little bit at a time until he's ready to take on a larger role. I'm not worried about him. There are a lot of reasons to believe he'll become a productive pivot here with the proper coaching and development.
I'm thrilled with Quinn so far. He's doing a tremendous job. There's an accountability factor that was not here with AV. From Smith, to Shattenkirk to Skjei... it doesn't matter if the player is young or has been around a while. If you don't do your job or are making mistakes, you'll sit. Simple as that. That was missing for a long time here. No more playing favorites.
Plenty of reasons to be excited for Rangerstown. We're obviously not a contender right now, but it's impossible to be anything but happy with what the team is doing right now.

Fishstix trash. Of course.

But the Lias pick is looking more and more questionable by the day.///////
He just turned 20 years old. Nothing is guaranteed in sports, but the guy is a good skater, he has speed, good hands, good shot, good hockey IQ, and he's a hard worker, and yes, plays the cliched 200 foot game. He's a high character guy too, who isn't afraid to play physical.
Still didn't see how Chytl's shot from a sharp angle got into the net. Dman right in front of Lehner, don't know if it went off his skate and off the keeper and in; paper this AM said Chytl put in rebound of his own shot. That I definitely did not see.
Last few games Chris Hayes has been putting on displays of just outstanding stickhandling, fast fast forehand to backhand and back and the defenders can't get at the puck as he moves through traffic.
It's like Hayes and Kreider have been re-born under Quinn. And, Zib!!
Don't sell that sort.
Sorry for the repetition.
Chtil’s streak ends... a tough game tomorrow
Otherwise their newb goalie had a shutout, their poor STs were enough better than ours, their 7 straight games starting out down 0-2 ended by going up 2-0. They just outworked NYR all game
Welp on to the next. Caps tomorrow. If we play like this it won't be close but hopefully they put forth a decent showing with better effort & execution. Another matinee too so hopefully that wasn't the issue
Don't sell that sort.
Peeing on players to get the most out of them is a new approach. Could work. Keep us posted.
Tough game today - they looked like shit, Andersson and Howdon in particular seemed overmatched. An obvious reminder this team is best served selling near the deadline and continuing the rebuild with lottery picks. But -- great to see Hank and the team generally competing so far nonetheless. Literally the only pro team I cheer for that's remotely competitive these days.

You made the last game winning thread. Therefore, you're completely responsible.
But just like any lawyer, you'll never be accountable for anything. Shame.
I don't know the stats, but I have the sense the Rangers have a bad W/L record in matinee games (except, recently, when they've played the Bruins) ... like how shitty the Giants were for years on MNF ... but for the Giants it was a known thing, but I don't know about matinee games for the Rangers, just a sense I have
Hey, it's nothing new. There are four guarantees in life: death, taxes, the Giants will lose to backup QBs, and the Rangers will lose to backup goalies.

I'm not the reason they lost! I'm the reason they didn't win...or something
