Who had Sam Carrick scoring an OT winner against the Devils to turn the season around, on their bingo card?
Molly, Larry and Brian. What do you think of the report that came out saying Mika refused to waive his NMC to go to Vancouver?
Rejuvenated? LOL. Rangers squeaked out an OT win at home over a Devils team that's "way off" since the Christmas break and coming off a difficult west coast trip. Take the win but don't delude yourselves that the team is drastically improved. Playoffs will still be a stretch for this team.
When the Devils went up 2 to 1 I thought here comes the collapse, thankfully they didn't cave.
The NHL season is a marathon. Not a sprint. Let’s say a miracle happened: the Rangers are rejuvenated. They’re no closer to the Stanley Cup than they were the last three seasons. They don’t have the physicality. They don’t have the stamina. This is a team that would win the Stanley Cup in 40 games not 82.
If Mika takes the man instead of being in no man’s land, Hughes probably doesn’t score.
Last night was the first time in forever that my heartbeat went up, that I felt postive, that I threw my arms in the air after a goal. I'll take it.
Molly: Apropos Chytil: The reports are disingenuous.
So many fans out there are just a holes.
ARE YOU FRICKING CRAZY!? Salvage the season is THE WORST thing they can do. Why? So we get a wild card and get smoked? Screwing ourselves out of the draft? We are only playing Mika now so he increases trade value. But trying to win would be the dumbest thing we can do. Or else, Chicago's gonna get like two top 5 drafts.
Agree to an extent with Brian re: Riley’s game but he didn’t show much hockey IQ on the breakaway when he went straight towards to goalie with his man in tow instead of pulling the goalie off to one side to allow a short, quick cross ice pass and tip in. I thought that was pretty junior.
Yea. I’m not concerned about what to do with Borgen. Right now that defense is too small, and by too small I mean the only obvious pice to be upgraded is lindgren. They should be working on getting bigger there and moving on from him. They start every game now with four of the five guys looking up at 6’ tall. I sorry, you just can’t expect to win meaningful (playoff) games when your top D pair is little people. The other four are physical enough to get by with.
I’ll say this, I don’t miss Kreider. The team looks better without him in the lineup
What a delusional fanbase. Two out of three and this last because when they do manage to win it's their ability as past power plays merchants that carries them. Not exactly a run. Just stay put of the box and the NYR would never score. Of course the officials can always be counted on when the darlings ae down a goal.
Don’t you want them to win a couple of games in a row before we start saying finding their groove we rejuvenated come on
Only reporters want the winter classic in warm weather climate
Lol they needed 2 power plays and 3-3 to score. 😂😂😂
Great episode Thanks all. Feeling a little bit better after the last few games. I really would have liked to hear you guys talk about Miller and his egregious mistake at the end of the Dallas game that cost them a point and they could have been three oh and one and four
I don’t think this team really wants to win because of management. The coaching is lost in space. And DD drury is playing cya.
Molls, I get what you're saying about getting to OT shows some fight, you're right. But, the Dallas game was a collapse, not a fight. They allowed the Stars to tie the game twice, including after being up 3-0. The Devils game was half a fight after the Rangers led the game to begin with.
National ratings are down: because Bettman, the NHL and their owners ( The Board Of Governors) have been screwing fans, with their greedy broadcasting deals…
…fans have to subscribe to several streaming services ( ESPN+, Sling, Fubo…etc) to watch their team.
Then fans already paying for those services, are getting Blacked Out by their greedy cable company / team broadcasting squabbles.
I'm three hours from Philly. Five hours away from MSG: but I'm Blacked Out of every Rangers vs. Flyers game, got locked out of a Rangers vs. Hurricanes game, and one of Rangers vs. Devils games.
A lot of fans are getting fed up with the NHL and their ever changing broadcasting contracts garbage.
Take care of your fans. Stop screwing with us. Ultimately, we are supporting and financing our teams and the league.
This disrespect of the fans: has a lot of fans walking away from supporting by subscribing to watch.
Sinus infection from laughing too much?
You guys don't even talk about the mismanagement of Zac Jones who was on the best D-Pair before with Schneider??
Love you guys. See you in Miami.
Go rempe go rangers
Great job folks!
Oh stop. This team is still worthless shit please. Every year they r worthless shit they r never a real threat & havent been since 94 when i graduated high school. Im only still a fan of this team because i wont stray from NY
For all the fans who keep claiming that dumping Goodrow torpedoed the Rangers, just clam it! Carrick is an upgrade at 4th line center. Better scoring touch & every bit as willing to stand up for himself & his teammates. At least give Drury credit for that move.
