Mika and Millsy with those passes,have not seen the Vegas Game Mika this year….to get him going again🙏
I was a wee lad watching Tony McKegnie,Pierre Larouche etc…. I think I barely remember JD playing goal. I was real young…. Anyways, I've been watching the team for a few years now,Quickie is from my hometown and have always rooted for him,except when he broke our hearts in '14,God Bless that man….. I'll wrap this up by saying all the years teams that are expected to win, lose, mediocre teams push and win a round in the playoffs, maybe even win something bigger?!!Why not our team? Miller comes in and finds supreme chemistry with Mika while motivating young players like Cuylle and Keandre Miller,man I hope it happens #LGR
Um, didn’t Mika play wing in the last game in the Ranger Panther playoff series last year with Weinberg as the center?
Panarin- JT- Mika
Cuylle-Trocheck-Laff
Kaliev-Hartman/Novak/Frederic-Smith
Edstrom-Carrick -Rempe
Miller-Borgen
Matheson-Fox
Vak-Schneider
Igor
Berard or Othmann can play 3rd line if smith gets dealt
This should be the look of the team come the deadline
LFGR!! 🚨🚨 Congrats Quickie!!
Very good vibes yesterday but they need to get at least 5 points out of 6 before the break.
J.T. Miller is not messing up when he has the puck on his stick whether he makes a pass or takes a shot on net. It's refreshing to watch someone who does not turn the puck over 5 times per game.
The power play looked very good with him on the first unit also.
Chytil is very skilled but frankly he was not a finisher. A seven year sample size thaught us that much.
I think Lavy keeps Mika on the wing for a few games to get his confidence back and once that happens he will be back at center which makes them a stronger team
Rumor has JT gave Mika his haircut 💇♂️
He's definitely making an impact….go Ranger's 👍
WELCOME BACKKKKKK TO UPPPPP IN THE BLUE SEATTTTSSSSS
I blame the Sharks and the Hawks for 2014. Not Jonathan Quick. 😉
The Kings should have lost in the 1st round that year if not for San Jose's collapse. And Chicago lost a couple of leads against the Kings in the semis if memory serves me well.
I remember vividly that I thought that the Final was over before it began in 2014. 🙁
I would have been more optimistic if they had faced the Black Hawks at the time.
Anyway, no need to talk about that anymore. I just hope that the Rangers will win another championship in my lifetime. 🙂 And it's not guaranteed.
Mollie…we see that Whalers shirt you got on!
keep up great work MOLLY ….!!!I told everyone j.t miller is what we need…!!!!good luck to phil he will do great in vancover…my vote for #1 ranger so far is mr. quick…if igor would have played against VEGAS we would have lost…igor is a terrible goalie this year ….and he always lets in early first period goals not what a ellite goalie should do…igor needs to start playing better soon ….SWAYMAN who is having a terrible goalie out did igor on sat. by a country mile ….if igor does not get better soon QUICK NEEDS TO PLAY EVERYGAME if we want to win.
bigger third line problem than JB is Kreider
Boyler dropped the F bomb on a hot mic, just before National Anthem last night.
I'd almost rather see Quick in the net these days.
Love the JT Miller deal- LGR!
Go Blue wave. BWP
Great video. JT looks the closest to a Captain we had- Messier. The intensity he brings, hasn't been seen around here since #11. I know he won't tolerate the Lazy play from some of the Millionaires. Please call out Fox style of play, we will never win a cup with his deficient Defense. Having Lindy back there with him, resulted in 8 goals of the 10 scored by Carolina and Boston. They are constantly trapped in our zone..for extended periods of time. Love the JT trade, we now have a true Captain in waiting.
Lare, I agree, if Miller was with them last year they would have beaten Florida. The games were close. So, if that's the case, and this team is not much different than the past 2 seasons, there's no reason why the Rangers can't go on a massive run and turn it around. That said, I think Shesterkin is the key. If he is, as you say maybe the top 3 goaltenders in the world, then he needs to play like it. Personally, I don't think is that high. If the Rangers can turn it around with Shesterkin getting to at least decent, than this could be a fun stretch to watch.
It was an awesome win Molly
I went from one player can't fix this team to one player just fixed this team 😂
Forget Mika put him on 3rd line with Kreider. I would like to see Miller with Laffy and Cuylle 3 Physical players who can all score. Lavy has wasted enough time catering to Mika trying to get him jump started.
I remember watching JT back in the day and I didn’t want him back. After watching him play with the team he is definitely a way better player than he used to be and I am happy he is on the team. I will miss chytl but like you guys said you never know when his last game will be. Look forward to these every week keep up the great work guys. LGR!!!
they got the better part of the deal.. but phylip c. will become better and will do well with elias petterson..if he stays healthy. But the snipper and eagerness to score and win in j.t miller is amazing and needs to re ignite last years drive of intensity!
Did Brian have to stay home with the kids, or was he off to Boston to call the Beanpot semi finals? I swear I’m looking at him right now on ESPNPlus calling the game.
I would like to know why Arthur…..with his piss missile for a shot ….is not on the Pwr play? At least in the 2nd unit .The prob with Mila on the wing is that he's not physical and he's shit on the fore check. He hasn't back checked all year so how's that gonna work out? 🏒🍸
I think they should make JT Miller captain.
So great that JT is back always loved his energy and was disappointed Rangers let him go to Tampa along w McDonah… man he is the spark that’s needed for this team especially his physical play, he’s a leader an the young guys have a great model to follow !!
JT's fire, Mika's revival, and Quick's grace are what this 2024-2025 team need to make this playoff run. Love Brian but enjoyed hearing Larry's observation and anecdotes. Mollie's takes are engaging and enlightening. Your show puts me on a Ranger high! Thanks.
Canucks fan for over 50 years…Alvin said the trade was about 'team culture' to our press. Yes, The Canucks don't want tough, high skilled players that want to win! Without Miller the Canucks can enjoy their "LOSER CULTURE" Petey didn't show up to Camp in shape, who wouldn't be pissed at him? Millers window is only 2 or 3 more years, and Petey wanted to waste the year? The Canucks traded the wrong player.
Molly, your grace and beauty is impeccable. Thank you for being you. And I like your hair back! Shows your lovely face. ❤
Why in the world would a comment be deleted praising JT.
WTF🤡
This trade makes sense at last years deadline. Now….not really….they aren't winning the cup and now they are in that place where they are getting old and have little draft capital. That's a bad place to be.
Lindgren needs to be moved now and the Rangers should really bring Allaire back as the full-time goaltending coach. Quick has continued to be an awesome story but Igor’s play of late has been concerning.
When the idea of JT reuniting with the Rangers was first brought up on this podcast a couple of weeks ago, Brad scoffed and laughed it like it was a pipe dream. His temperament on the situation slightly changed when you, Molly, informed him that there were reports that the ONLY team he was willing to waive his no move was for the Rangers. It was the same episode where he stated that Zac Jones should play better after he stated is unhappiness with the team. Watching this podcast has taught me that really only those making the decisions know what's coming next for these teams- although some of us don't necessarily act like it, or with that humility.
J.T. Miller makes this team better. But what is Drury's plan for this team? Win with a bunch of 35 year olds who are already slumping? 🤦 This just wreaks of old school Rangers management.
I told you all what cousin J.T will bring !
Mika will not be able to sustain this. He and Kreider will drag the Rangers down and must be traded at the deadline. They are both at the heart of all the Rangers problems.
I’ll tune in just for you Mollie ,love me some boiler but you can hold down the fort
Mika is super soft can’t stand him
Let’s pump the brakes on the Mika is back train. Let’s see how he plays these next three games
Great trade getting Miller back, hopefully he can inspire his teammates. What is up with Adam Fox? He had some defensive lapses that were beyond belief against the Bruins. He literally got out of the way on a Bruins goal that he could have attempted to block. On another goal he got back so lazily the Bruin passer behind the net was never challenged by him.
