John Tavares had 2 goals and an assist in the 4-2 Leaf win over the Rangers at The Garden. Artemi Panarin had a goal and an assist in the loss which increases his point streak to 10 consecutive games. The Rangers look to bounce back against the Canucks in a Saturday Madison Square Garden Matinee.

Tavares 3 Point Night Leads To Rangers 3rd Straight Loss | New York Rangers
39 Comments
Hello. Here we go again. Please, discuss my plan about changes and development of the team. What we have now: 1)this team is no more a contender 2)there are some long and mid term big contracts of aged players 3)lack of high draft picks and top prospects 4)a group of good young players. Having all this now Rangers should develop this way: 1)develop all young players who are in the roster. First of all Laf, Cuylle, Rempe, Laba and Roobroeck – this group of grit players is the only chance to build the Cup winning team within this decade. They should play as much as they can. There are 3 years ahead until Zibanejad and JT Miller can't be traded or bought out. Perfect time to develop youth and get top draft picks 2)Mika and Chris should play in bottom on their positions. They are very good in defensive game. Kreider should end his career in New York. No trade. Vincent should be traded. He is an elite 3rd line center who is still in his prime. Every contender will be happy to get. Then Vincent gets a chance to win the Cup and Rangers get a very good compensation – Win/Win. If Artemiy is good next season, he should be offered a several years contract with 6-7 million salary cap. He will help to develop young players 3)If young players get maximum ice, results will fall down and Rangers will get high draft picks which will be later traded for ready to win players when the core group will be developed and their average age will be around 28(prime age for males) 4)It is necessary to create a line for Alexis and appoint him as a captain. If all this will be done I'm sure that in a 4-5 years we will have a team that really can win the Cup.
P.S. Fire Drury!
« The same mistakes, game after game. » Sooo depressing to watch. In the case of k’andre Miller, he played 400+ games including 2 long playoffs run, he knows the pressure, etc. He should be better . Same thing for Lafrenière.Mind boggling.
This team doesn't have enough fight. This season is over. So are the next few btw. It'll be another 20 years before they see another cup.
Dá rangers lose lose 31X
At least the efffort is there what matters is the 2 full points I’m 😠
The bottom 5 in the league is within reach. If they lose out the rest of the way – which is definitely doable – they can catch Seattle or Philly.
These guys have absolutely no intention of playing postseason hockey. They can't wait for this season to end.
I'd rather go to a JD and the Straight Shot concert than watch this team play.
Cant win any nights when the goalie gives up 3 – 4 goals almost every night
When you’re a team where your own teammate can knock you off the puck for a turnover that leads to a goal… you’re not making the playoffs.
Tavares. Ranger Killer. LoL
This was supposed to be the year that we made a legit run for the cup: for the fans, for the team, and especially for Sam. This is a level of disappointment I never could have imagined entering this season. Even at their worst, they still had heart, but there is no heart with this team. Whatever spark this team had died after last postseason. Drury thought getting rid of players like Goodrow, Trouba, and Kakko would help, but it only hurt them. If that makes them soft then whatever, but it's clear this team thought they could really run it back. They believed in themselves, and Drury basically spat in their face. "It's a business" they say, well players have emotions and obviously it destroyed the locker room. Hopefully we can find a way to bounce back in our centennial season, I don't want to wait another decade to be contenders.
Why does Laviolette keep putting put the same worse deficient defensive Rangers players on the ice in critical situations like for a penalty kill. I am talking about Zibanejad and K.A. Miller. Both are absolutely horrible defensively must go and I'll include Laviolette in that move. Lets face it Laviolette must want to be fired as if this happens his contract will keep the bucks coming in. .
Maloney with a golf burn toward Sam, lol
This team sucks at home this season ..their inability to play defense is just ridiculous…they can't play 60 minutes …this team does not block shots …JT Miller kreider mika just pathetic.and laffy is useless a first pick over all piece of garbage !!!
Big deal one point who cares Adam Fox stinks too
All this team does it take stupid shots from the point they have no ability to get in front of the net it's a soft team it's a soft team it's been like this for 30 seconds years the inability to get in front of the internet rebounds inability play at Madison square garden of an absolute f**** disaster this season five in a row they've lost 17 games this season they only lost 11 last season they have an absolute abomination and an embarrassment to the fans the fans pay good money to go see them and they put up nothing specially Tuesday night when they did nothing against the team they should have beat it's amazing how two teams in Toronto and Calgary could have back-to-back games that have more energy than the rangers his coaching staff has been a f**** disaster led by a coach that goes from team to team to team to team team to team to team
They go in the f**** road and they went in Minnesota and Columbus they look good and then they come home and lay an egg
It's nice that the organization added a bunch of lousy defense men
It's the same garbage game after game after game after game how many f**** times do I have to watch goals scored within the slot area how many times do I have to watch how danger chances how many times have to watch this idiotic team can't go back and and play in transition on defense I
Keandre Miller is an absolute p** who should have been treated a long time ago that stupid blind pass last yesterday Fox misses the park in the next thing you know it's a goal I mean I'm f**** sick of this team I really am you're too lousy games over 500 an absolute disgrace when you see what these guys are making it's a joke Mika 8.1 million a year
Poor Igor can't get any help from these assholes in front of him
Nobody blocks shots nobody wants to throw their body in front of the park anymore on this f**** team
This team sucks ..how many high danger chances …..Michael peca lavi and housley .. how the f*** are these three idiots keeping their jobs
This f**** coach hasn't made one stinking adjustment this season it's the same garbage every game chase the other team around for 60 minutes do nothing play crappy defense with your crappy power play that stinks
Once again the rangers tie the game up and give it back again and tie the game up and give it back again
More Rush chances I mean the rangers are the worst f**** defensive transitional team I've watched in 53 years of watching hockey Peter laviolette on a f**** retire hang up Peter I'm so glad you had a Lexie LaFreniere and and f**** stupid Kendra Miller on the ice yesterday with 9 seconds left in the period way to go Peter I'm so glad you're putting the right personnel on the ice at the right time you f**** moron
I really need to rethink my loyalty to this franchise. 33 years. What a bunch of DEI hires.
They have an absolutely brutal in their own buildings is five games in a row they scored two goals every game they are a bunch of they have no character and no heart this team non-zero absolutely nothing they show you nothing and his coaching staff has been an absolute f**** disaster from day one this season they got away with their lousy defense 16 games into the season because the goalies standing on their head every night absolute defensive disgrace led by a guy who wasn't even a good defenseman when he was a defenseman and Phil housley who stinks and should have been fired a long time ago absolutely who the hell is he sleeping with to keep his job
Adam Fox Norris trophy my ass
I've had enough with keandre Miller why the f*** this a**** wasn't traded away I have no idea he's lazy he's slow he's not physical he stinks he's been an absolute bust disappointment for this organization trade his ass the way I'm sick of watching him
I'm tired of watching them play like s*** and the fact that the Montreal canadiens have a better record than the rangers is an absolute
I'm not sure who that was on the fourth goal but it look like meeka just waving his stick not even bothering to try to get to the player or even try to block the puvk just waving a stick. So tired of watching these assholes just stick check defensive breakdowns every night the same thing every night this coaching staff has been an absolute abomination this season
After that give away 4th goal you could see the Disgusted body language Shesterkin showed..
Trade half the team ,get rid of Drury and Laviolette, hire Joey Quinville.
No captain still.
Awful defensive team
And there is zero pride in these guys. Fox is not an elite defenseman. The other defenders are just awful. Mika sucks. Kreider sucks. Laffy is for some reason not being developed properly (but who is) and JT has caught the mediocre Rangers style
I will never understand what the love affair with keandre Miller is. He gets top minutes every game despite being a liability on defense. Yet he never gets benched and is considered a top d man? And as bad as he is they are gonna re sign him and overpay
