    Christopher James Kreider!!! Does it again. Nice answer back! Woot! He’s revived the Rangers fans in attendance! Love it!

  2. RainandPixels

    Must be fun celebrating a goal with teammates from different lines.

  3. My man Kreider getting goals like it’s skittles

  4. Separate_Pound_753

    Lafrenieres passing ability is fucking insane

  5. We have to play disciplined. Refs are itching to even this game up.

  6. Key-Tip-7521

    ![gif](giphy|r1IMdmkhUcpzy|downsized)

    Horse meat be like

  7. Equivalent_Holiday15

    Need a schneider goal and chirp kucherov

  8. MarsHotelSouth

    Kreider and Trocheck are underrated together btw. If the current lines go cold, or God forbid another injury, at least we have that to fall back on

  9. JokinHghar

    Fuckin’ beauty of an answer to the Ref Gift Goal

  10. drewdonohue13

    Seriously how tf was that a penalty on us 😫

  11. zucarigan

    I can’t believe we only have 20 seconds of PP time against a team that has committed so many brazen penalties in broad daylight

  12. Sjdillon10

    Kreider gets so damn hype when he scores with actual shots and not tips lol

  13. jeffyjeffyjeffjeff

    What’s worse: hearing let’s go Rangers chanted in your home arena, or having to cheer for Nikita Kucherov every game?

  14. BreakdownGhost

    “Fuck your momentum in particular” – Chris Kreider

  15. Tampa Bay Refs will be looking to tie up the game in the 3rd.

  16. fondlemeLeroy

    I always think about what Hank said, that great, Cup-caliber teams don’t lose 2 in a row. If we win this, we’ll be 9-1 after a loss. This team is special.

  17. OMGki11edkenny

    I want that celly from Chris as a Gif

  18. dcgirl98

    Troch and Kreids on the same line is great. I’d like to see more of than in certain situations.

  19. RangersGoalieFanClub

    I hope Schneider sprays Kucherov at the end of the game like he did to Wilson

  20. What does a brother gotta do to get Igor a SO… my boy works so hard and gets ducked one way or the other

  21. RhesusMonkey17

    Kreider clearly caught Vally’s pre-scout analysis of Vasilevsky. He shot precisely where Steve said Vasilevsky is weakest.

  22. GrimHeaper

    Kucherov chirping Schneider and then his team immediately giving one up is gold

  23. RangersGoalieFanClub

    My boy looks like he’s come out of a war in a video game😭😭 poor Lindgren

  24. Pro_V1_Kenobi

    They didn’t show the Cadillac trivia answer yet right or did I miss it?

  25. Key-Tip-7521

    Lindgren would run along side Teddy Roosevelt up San Juan Hill and survive. That’s who Ryan Lindgren is.

  26. Bolts 5 pps

    Rangers 1.1 pps

    It’s so obvious

    Edit: wait not even 2pps

  27. At the game rn, Rangers chants are louder than lightning ones now. Beautiful

  28. Grouchy-Power-806

    Devils implosion live and in color

    Ya love to see it.

  29. RangersGoalieFanClub

    Anyone else find those ads really cringe

    The people that decorate absolutely everything as a sports team they support? Idk I just find it weird making your entire life and personality about a sports team

  30. JokinHghar

    Kreider isn’t just the tip. Sometimes he goes balls deep.

  31. SilentSaidd

    Surely one 30 second powerplay is all we deserve because Tampa is known as such a rule abiding team

  32. Grouchy-Power-806

    How is Hank so goddam good looking?

  33. FrankieFazul

    Does it irrationally bother anybody else that the Rangers are on MSG3 and the devils are on MSG2?

  34. RobbingPandas9059

    At the game and it’s MSG South in here. You think the Lightning would have some type of fan base with 3 cups

  35. I feel like rangers south fans are worse than leaf fans

  36. cha-cha_dancer

    I get the Tampa broadcast locally and Phil Esposito does a jewelry commercial lol

  37. Lol vally straight up assuming we’re gunna be playing short handed in the 3rd

  38. d1rtydutch

    Hmm no vally, you definitely punch Kucherov. He’s a bitch that went high with his stick several times

  39. HockeyVG

    Damn, really thought Vally was gonna say Kucherov is the wrong guy to punch because he’s such a little bitch

  40. Key-Tip-7521

    Final 20. John is actually right, mind their p’s and q’s. Stay out of the box, limit the turnovers.

    Backcheck

    Forecheck

    Trocheck

    das it
