It’s been six periods since they’ve scored 5v5??
Neither can handle the puck, they panic and they proved it against Flyers. If this team is gonna play as they did they might as well sit them and bring up the Prospect, no reason for this type of play. Trouba and Miller yes keep them apart, Miller plays better on another shift.
I admit, I am one of those fans. I think the sky is falling!!
Lets remember any player on any team that wears the letter C is the one that tells you if you are good or you need to bring your game. Trouba i feel was a big mistake to make him a Captain i would have preferred to keep the team as it was.
There are times that Miller looks Play’s like a unbelievable defenseman, and there’s other times where it looks like he couldn’t even play in Pee-wee hockey!!
Yes break them up. Miller and scheinder work well together. Also until he figures it out less time on the ice for Trouba is a good thing.
Everyone relax… remember right before the allstar break??? they sucked and then went on a winning binger. Relax and enjoy the playoffs!!
Jon thanks for your positive out look on things!
I listen to you every day because I'm like Peter Puck, and I played hockey. Not today. I just went through your comments, and I think you're catering to your viewers .

It's not that they had a bad game. It's the lack of effort. That's concerning and that they fall behind constantly and a digging out of a hole
we are not going far with vesey-goodrow-brodzinki… our best 4 line was with rempe and edstrom…
I think the problems the Rangers have right now are way more related to effort and mindset, than personnel. They've been sloppy in the D zone, no flow offensively, broken passes, bad decisions, lack of grit and not ready to play at puck drop. They pass when they should shoot and shoot when they should pass…These are problems they need to fix NOW, or it doesn't matter what the lines are, period.
That being said, I really liked the Edstrom-Goodrow-Rempe line when it was there. It added a lot of energy to the entire team. Mika and Kreids need to figure out how to score 5v5, bc we can't rely on pp goals, and we can't win without those two playing their best.
We can't expect to win games against anyone if we aren't ready to play when the puck drops. We can't fall behind every night, that's exhausting.
Come on boys, let's fix this shit and get back to winning. There's a good opportunity to right the wrong tomorrow against the Isles.
Let's. Fucking. Go.
😊
Zach Jones has to be in the lineup.
It just seems it’s the wrong time to play lackluster hockey Saturday should be the test this team has to get on a roll
Trouba is no where near worth 8 million a year!
Their goals against is 3.15 in their last 20 games. Thats a bit more than the last couple of games and that is not going to cut it in the playoffs. The sky is falling.
Trouba needs to go the Wade Redden route. Send him to the minors and let him be the richest man in the minors.
Trouba has not been the same since the comeback. Miller looks like he has no heart
Rangers have the most points in the league, & y’all are in here talking like they’re the Sharks. Jesus fuckin Christ
Trouba is a defensive liability and a giveaway machine…Schneider and Miller were great together…No time to worry about hurt feelings…Reunite them!!
Thanks guys. Do you think Quick will get another start before the playoffs?
Roslovic stinks, he's out there skating like an NPC, if Chytil makes it back I'd plug him in on the top line wing. At the very least I'd swap Ros with Vesey, Jimmy looked good when he filled in for Ros that game.
This close to the playoffs, Presidents trophy and Eastern conference on the line and they play like that!? Yeah I’m concerned.
Pair up K'Andre and Schneider. Elevate Zack Jones to second or third line. Trouba seems like a liability right now.
Miller is awful. So overrated.
Hously has not done a good job this year. Between odd man rushes and backdoor passes, they have declined defensively as a whole. Zac Jones needs to be in lineup. Gusto has been bad since all star break.
Could be all these awards before the games. Cools down the players. They all got family in attendance. High profile people in the community are there, its like a Rangers showcase. Too much going on, meanwhile we are playing teams that NEED wins to continue their season. I think the Rangers will be fine when the real work starts.
How long have I've been saying this for?
Jon you should monitor your chat, or not allow it if not participating. This would be considered a hate crime. Mode85
Trouba hasn't been good, we get it. But let's call a spade a spade: Miller was the worst player on the ice last night.
