he's been brutal all series, especially on the PP.
he won't, but I would.
If you don't have TDA on the power play, there is no point having him in the lineup all together.
he had 30 even strength points - and I hate the stat but he was plus 30, but you have watched the series, do you think he looks good back there? I don't.
the Rangers losses in CAR have all been close games, even when the Rangers are outplayed.
The CAR losses in NY are not really close - even game 3 I didn't think was as close as the score.
eventually, you have to believe that catches up to CAR. IMO game 7 is on Igor - he got them there, if they win, it will be because of him.
Game 5 was so lopsided...we looked slow and were outshot badly----solid scoring chances from my seats were like 1 to 5 ratio. we sucked that game for whatever reason.

And the crazy part is most of CAR’s home goals are off of odd man rushes after asinine Ranger turnovers. Cut down on that shit and they can barely score.
I’d consider playing the second line a LOT less. They were brutal on both goals allowed. The fourth line was 17,000% better with Goodrow in place of Rooney.
Shesty saved the bacon a lot early and was excellent.
What a season for this team. Who could've asked for anything more?
Me.
I want a Stanley Cup. Watching your team getting bounced in the second round and being thankful is for the birds.
Just a matter of opinion, but I find this to be a tremendously sad way of approaching things as a fan. Especially in a game as gut-wrenching as hockey.
I won’t sit here and talk trash to other fanbases about reaching game 7 of the conference semis…but that’s not what I’m here for anyway. Even just these 13 games of hockey have brought joy and excitement to my life that I won’t give back. And memories with my 7 year old son that neither of us will ever forget.
I’m happy to let the “trophy or bust” stuff be for the athletes. But I will counter it with this, at a minimum — even if Monday doesn’t go well, I think it would be crazy to say that this mini-run wasn’t tremendously meaningful to a roster that includes Fox, Miller, Schneider, Laf, Kakko, Chytil.

There is growth happening, and it matters.
There are seasons where its title or bust - this isnt one of those seasons for the Rangers. The 86 Mets were title or bust, so were the 87-90 Mets. The Dodgers in each of the last several years. The 94 Rangers and the 2015-16 Rangers. Teams built to win now who go all in that year to win it all. That isnt this year's Rangers
As I've said since the end of the season, this playoff experience was the next step for these players. And to get a pair of Game 7s, and one home/one road, is invaluable for so many of them
To say what Route 9 said, for this team, is ridiculous. Especially after 4 non-playoff years. If that is how you root, then be prepared for a lifetime of disappointment.
.
Yes it will not be fun if they lose Monday, but this franchise took a huge step this year win or lose. And next season they need to go all in, that is the next step
The way he played to ight I can get behind even if he doesnt have 2/3 points a game. He looks a ton more confident playing now.
Miller is great at cancelling the opposing rush, but he has really been below average at moving the puck along as of late. Somebody who skates like he does, that shouldnt be a problem. He will get better at that as Carolina is a fast team.
Will somebody please knock Domi on his ass cross eyed? I havent seen a player get away with so many after the whistle shots in a long time. He is beyond Sean Avery. At least Avery was subtle. That little cockroach-faced, dumpster kitten spawned piece of Manitoban trash needs to be laid the fuck out. He always does shit in front of the refs too, they see it and only separate after a Ranger reacts. Put his little punk ass in the box, score a goal and then when we get up by 3, send somebody over to goad him into an ass kicking.

Route 9 is a casual fan.. He has made that clear with ill-informed and empty post after another. Who fucking cares what he thinks. He wants 7-4 hockey games every game. Hes a badketball fan who likes the Rangers.
I was next to Colton Orr twice and I had no idea who he was. Haha, some recognized him and were taking photos with him, but I had no clue who he was.
Best ovation of the night went to Mariano Rivera. Second and third were Sauce Gardner and Obi Toppin. The actress who plays Mrs. Maisel is a hottie. The fans were all over Tony DeAngelo (not surprisingly). Big game by Chytil and Igor made some great saves. It was awesome seeing Goodrow back out there.
I can't believe I called Joe Schoen "coach". My dream is to work for the NY Football Giants and I called my potential boss "coach". Haha, it slipped out. He was passing by and I said, "Coach! Joe! Joe!" - no wonder he wouldn't stop.
I have no issue with the "casual fan" label ( I know I've said this before many times on here) given by some stranger. I will admit that I'm more into the Giants than I am the Rangers. I mean last time that I checked this is a New York Giants football board, no?
Sorry if I do not meet the requirements of a "hardcore fan" who spends everyday giving the final breakdown about 6th round draft picks who are 17 years old.
Weren't the Blues one of the worst teams in the league the year they won it all? If I remember the Bruins weren't all that impressive the year they won it all in 2011, but they still did.
Spare me the set speech. I've heard this before. They won 50+ games and made the playoffs. They are capable (and eligible) of winning the Stanley Cup.
Yeah. I am hyped and want to see them win the whole thing. Sue me. I'd rather be pissed off for the time being they lost then ever have some equal fan tell me what's what and who is who.
Also that logic is stupid. They're literally a game away from the ECF so they are capable. I can and should expect them to win it all.
Wasn't Cup or bust in 2015? How'd that one go?
I also went to the 2014 ECF and paid out my ass for that game 6 vs Montreal. Never was thinking I was a casual fan that day but OK.
I mean it was the last Ranger game I went to at home lol
Give me a break superfans, I didn't have MSG this year, for the first time in my life.

Not going to touch on this mych more nor the reverse hyperbole you bring yo Rangers threads, but your posts are miserable, ei. Or lose. You offer nothing except for "wahhhhh, the Rangers don't win enough for me but Im going to keep whining about it" and never offer any perspective.
Look I dont care what you do, but Im just telling you how you come across and it's lame.
I have to watch games at work so I'm watching them on my phone. I'd be in the game threads screaming how the Rangers are screwed over by the refs every other second. That's why I'm not on here as much, Daniel.
Says the guy who was fighting with another poster about being a gym teacher and how great of a stock brocker they are in the middle of a game.
Yea, that didnt happen....I very rarely post during games...that happened well after the game was over dipshit. Lol.
But keep up the good work. Cant wait for your next bit of tremendous insight after the game on Monday and then the inevitable "I was with them the whole time" posts that are to inevitably follow if they win.
You literally gave up on this team after game 3 or 4 against Pitt and are now back on the bandwagon.
Were your seats???? You didnt recognize Colton Orr? You called Joe Schoen "coach?" You had one chance at NYG internship and you called the GM coach? That's like calling a judge by his first name in court. Lol
Glad you had fun and that you got to be amonst all those celebs....even if they had to move back the fence line on you. 😉
And stupid. Gave away a pp. what a dummy.
A lot of Fins play that way and I suspect Kakko will too eventually.
If I were Gallant I'd consider putting Lafreniere on the PP1 for Kreider. He won't, but I would.
he's been brutal all series, especially on the PP.
he won't, but I would.

If you don't have TDA on the power play, there is no point having him in the lineup all together.

Totally!
Rangers bring your A game and the MSG mojo.
Igor, stand on your head Monday and we will win.
Also, Lindgren, stop deflecting shots for goals against.
Let Igor make the stops.
