John do u think trouba checked out on the rangers since drury tried to trade him 209 times???
everyone thinks theyre just playing poorly. these guys are profesionals. none of this is aaccidental. team is sending a msg to someone.
Edstrom.and kakko are grinding as well i like edstrom hes progressing
Idk why the hell are 4tb line isnt rempe and edstrom or atleasg spread them out on line 3 and 4 but the twin towers no reason y they shouldnt b ib line up so sick of these coaches that wont play guys when there playing better thsn vets just cuz their vets
Am I livid that we are playing this poorly? Absolutely. Am I happy that if we continue this trend I’ll be able to afford tickets to games? Yes I am.
Trade Fox asap
Knowing how gms are all stoopid and googally about dmen that rack points u gotta think fox would draw some interest rite? But hs contract
This episode includes some comic relief in what became a nighmare 2 games ago and has only gotten worse since. The Rangers have collapsed/imploded by every measure. Weak, slow, sloppy, and disengaged.
Drury caused this and is always looking for a scapegoat. Gallant and know it will be krieder .
NOW
I could play on the rangers right now….im so checked out I forgot there was a game! That’s bad.
There has been roster mismanagement in calling up & sending back down Rempe a bunch of times. Kept him up too long the first stint when it was clear he wouldn’t be getting more than like 8 minutes of ice time.
Play rempe !
I watch every game religiously, i literally forgot the rangers had a matinee game, i was focused on putting up lights. So glad i didn’t see the start of this game by your description.. realized w 10 mins in the 3rd, what i saw was pathetic. There’s massive problems in the locker room, i’m beyond convinced.
The Rangers will be fine. Stop overreacting. Try being a Flyers fan for the last dozen years! Rangers just haven’t woken up from their nap yet. Shesterkin (spelling?) looked great. Once they start scoring they will start winning
Sounds like it was a good thing I had to work during this game.
Ranger fans are delusional. We've been the best team for like the past 3 years with this core. It's called a slump. I mean fans were complaining when we are play. 500 hockey…. and now we lost 4 in a row and fans are over way over the top here.
Did the penguins tear it all down? No they got Sullivan and won the cup. Same thing in st Louis. Vgk didn't even make the playoffs the year before and then won thr whole thing. We already had a very fast rebuild and yes we are still in prime time.
Yes we don't look good. I dont think the finger pointing is going to help. Every saying trade trouba and zib.
1. Trouba is our captain for a reason. Yes he is over paid but the extra 2-3mil is because of that leadership he provides. It could be more important then the coach for he has the pulse on the room and is accountable for off ice locker room dynamics. He is physcial and he shows effort. He isn't carry his line anymore, but Miller isn't going to cut it.
2. I am finger pointing now, but if Miller, our young guy can't step up and have dominate performances like we seen in the past he is not going to fit the bill. No point of keeping wasted talent and lack luster defense.
3. What is Peter doing? Where is our defense. I mean Adam fox looks just as similar as a pylon out their on defense. I can point the finger at Miller because usually he is out of position. Even on our goal he was completely out of the play. I'm not going to bash trouba for getting best by phillys best player. Trouba is reliable but again it's a team effort.
4. Zib is not a #1 anymore and prob never was. Him and vinny are going to need an actual #1 guy. Chytyl was essential for us and we are missing him.
I suggest we trade Miller and utilize Mancini. Call me crazy but at this point I want to see trouba and fox play together. The only top C I see on the market would be a Brock Nelson, Josh Norris, or maybe bring back copp but copp wouldn't cut it.
Maybe a big blockbuster Igor for rantanan or marner.
Rangers should just trade Miller and fire Peter. Peter is tough but he is soft spoken.
Laffy should be traded to but that's a different story
I've watched almost every single game, at least 99% of all games since 2012 and not once before have I just lost the interest to even watch the games.
What's smug Drury do now? He already fired one good coach. He can't just fire another one. Maybe its him?
And after a players only meeting… it’s not the Coach, it’s not the GM it’s the players. However if Drury doesn’t do something he will look weak.
50 minutes in length! Let's do this!
There after downing tools since drury mentioned trading guys
Remember that crossover podcast before the season where every locked on host of the top of the metro predicted the caps to fall out this year? Man, that aged like milk. Glad to see yall are in shambles
I have been watching this team since 1967. When the Rangers play this way, it means the biggest problem is behind the scenes and not in the play as much as how bad this is. So I am now waiting for the next shoe to drop. You are absolutely right. This play has been horrific. I cannot even watch anymore. And it kills me.
If changes aren't made you can expect Igor to move on somewhere else. He won't want to play with a bunch of guys who hang him out to dry every night, with no repercussions.
As one of the very few fans who've been calling this team out for what it is in recent years, I won't say I told you so, but I told you so. Everyone in the media-sphere has been waxing Drury's behind for 3 years with almost no criticism whatsoever. This team has goaltending and a power play, which has become highly predictable itself. I pointed to Igor as the elephant in the room 2 years ago when it was obvious how disgusted he'd become with this teams consistent lack of effort. Most of these guys don't' care. The captain hasn't thrown a hit all season. It's evident they have other priorities aside from Hockey like being a terrible painter or spinning a record.
As a Flyer fan and not trying to be an asshole. But what happened to the Rangers?
And the love affair with Kreider is sickening. Never seen a guy so big and strong and fast avoid loose puck battles like he does. There is more to the game then redirecting pucks. He and DJ Zibs, I can't even watch them anymore. For those of us who grew up watching guys like Graves/Messier/Buekeboom, this current team is like watching the equivalent of Flag Football on ice. They should wear their no-contact practice jerseys next game.
