People are finally jumping on my bandwagon. Sell sell sell!!! Rangers need a full rebuild and I'm a season ticket holder for 25 years!!!
We are now 7th in the tankathon standings and dropping fast. Dolan has no clue and the rangers foundation is crumbling. Drury should've been fired long ago. Our prospect pool is empty nothing significant on the horizon. God help us
Pathetic performance. This team just got bullied by Tom Wilson again. When is Drury going to be let go? The team should have done a rebuild and yet still stand pat. What will it take for Management and Owner to finally say "we made a mistake" . Go to Mika, tell him we want to move on with your NMC, trade Igor before his NMC kicks in, trade Laffy, Trade Trocheck, Trade Sucy, Trade Panarin , be bottom dwellers and get high draft picks. Fire the development staff, Jed Ortmeyer, Tanner Glass,etc. Time to do a full rebuild
Since 1985 there have been only two first overall picks not to represent their country (senior team) Alexander Daigle and Alexis Lafreniere . Ouch!!!
One thing the Rangers DO have the talent in the AHL for is to stop the disgusting soft play, where goons can pummel our rookies, where our goalies can get run…
They could call up Chmelar, Roobroeck, Mackay and Fitzgerald.
Teams now look forward to playing us – – – how about making them fear that?
For the second time, a goon took out one of our rookies.
Doggie paddling slow dance scrums aren't the answer.
I expect the same will happen Friday by a skilled but very dirty Florida team. After being dethroned, Tampa Bay added size and snarl – now every game with Florida is a war. The Rangers COULD do that…but won't
Poor Carrick will continue to be the brave human sacrifice – until we lose him to some goon.
Worse than the Blue Smurf era!
Where is Schneider? Carrick fought yeah, but when Wilson came back someone should have went right after him.
I like Boyle, hope he sticks.
After the Rangers embarrassed the Crapitals last game you know they were coming for blood today.
Why wasn’t Mackey brought up to take that psycho on?
Meeka without JT is a Ponce!
Sully get it together.
All hail the glorious Capitals
It was disgusting to see Wilson mocking Gavrikov and yes only player once again standing up for Laba was Carrick like always. What happened to rempi he became a pussy after the fight with Reeves. I don’t know if anyone remembers when Amile Frances was the Rangers coach and he wanted to put the entire team on waivers I’m for that starting dumbass Druey. This team is an embarrassment
This team is just horrible. Not entertaining in the slightest. Every game is a repeat of the previous game. Didn’t think they could be worse than last season. Well, they are. More fun going to the dentist than watching these charlatans.
Drury turned this team into the exact same team before the " LETTER" Went out, Small Heartless , easily intimidated, with a.n extra dimension SLOW !
How he's still here is unreal freaking real ……..
Rempe is worthless and has to go!!!!
Wilson is a true unicorn, and incredible player. He does everything, powerplay, penalty kill, scores, and never lets his team escape the fight.
And Tom Wilson gets the very best of this team AND organization as a whole once again!
…..SHOCKER!!🤦♂️😫🤬😒
But hey…at least Carrick stood up instead of leaving it to Panarin🤷🏽♂️🙄
What pissed me off about the laba play was WHERE WAS EVERYONE? they wernt defending or going after wilson. They were AWOL. this is the mika led entitled white glove rangers: never wanna do any dirty work.
LMFAO….trade Sheary and Raddysh for a seventh round pick in 2055.😂
Weren’t we supposed to be getting tougher? It’s starting to look a lot like it did a few years back…….
In my 37 years of watching the Rangers this is the version I can't stand the most. Boring, gutless, uninspired, and slow.
Drury painted this team into a corner. It’s going to take years to fix. It’s a shame as Drury got an extension when he should have been fired.
Mika had his worst shift of the season on the Wilson goal when Borgen tried his best to neutralize him. Also, Borgen should have crossed checked Wilson in the teeth on that sequence. Trade/cut/buyout anyone not named Igor, Vlad or Fox.
Great point about the Wilson celly at @8:34 of this pod. Robertson should have punched Wilson in the mouth from the bench. Wilson had his tongue out like he was Michael bleeping Jordan.
Another great point about the LW/ RW lineup selections.
Great analysis about a horrible team. Some significant roster moves have to be made SOON!
Can we just go full rebuild please? If I'm going to watch losing hockey, at least make it exciting to watch. Just get as many speedy 20 somethings who show some sort of desire to win and score some goals. The team as it is is old, slow, gutless, punchless and BORING. Get what you can for Panarin and Trochek and call it a day.
Too many figure skaters on this team.
Not sure what else to say that I have not said before here. This team is just not good. Not nearly enough offensive talent and they do not make up for that with intensity and grit. Definitely should be sellers NOW and as the deadline approaches. Unfortunately, I am not sure how much value they are going to get back for some of these guys. And we do not have a young star in the making like so many other teams. Likely in for a rough few years – and going to waste Igor's prime.
I get Rempe has a busted up hand, but if he's not going to stand up for his teammates, then why is he in the line-up?
The last time this happened, a letter was sent out…. Hopefully we get the same reaction
Fox -1, Panerin -1, Mika-2. Nicely done boys
SOFT TEAM!!!
Absolutely zero toughness. A reflection of their GM.
Happy New Year Jon! Groundhog Day in Rangers land…lots of Ned Ryersons on this team! They gotta stop steppin in the puddles! Be well!
Buffalo relieves GM of duties and the team is on a HEATER! Time for the R word. Rebuild this garbage while you have Igor for 8 seasons. Drury sees too much value in some of the players. Gabe, Fox and Gavrikov are the only ones not named Igor worth saving.
As much as I despise Tom Wilson he's a tough hockey player. He beat the Rangers yesterday. If Rempe is t running someone over, legally, why is he playing. This team has so many holes. Going to be a long few yrs. I officially told my son no more ticket packages until they show us they are trying to win. Waste of money I don't have to waste
Rangers embarrassed the Caps last week. If they weren't prepared for a big response than the lack of awareness is mind blowing. Troch IMO has taken a big step back this season. He should have been named captain instead of Miller. My 2 cents
Drury needs to go
Drury put together another soft team that can't score consistently. The GM is the problem!!!
Craigslist John this team needs a serious enforcer I thought they had it in rampy but obviously I was wrong
I can't stand Mike Sullivan's boring system of just sitting back trying to counter attack other teams this team has no speed and does not cycle the puck and create anything
Jon – the truth is I didn’t expect them to do anything after the Laba hit – if that was Tampa, Florida, or even Ottawa for that matter the entire roster would be going after the Caps and mixing it up every single shift. This team is soft, cowards, and they don’t play to win. It’s like they play to get through the shift. They’re losers, and an embarrassment to cheer for. Not much different from last year except they’re playing much better defensively – Other teams have 5 Sam Carrick types, or a bunch of players that care. Done see it here and it’s SAD
And to piggy back on my last comment – let’s stop pretending Rempe is going to be a hockey player. If he’s still too hurt (thumb) to fight then he needs to be trucking people and if he’s not, might as well get some guys on the 4th that can score.
This is where the owner has to make a phone call to the locker room in between periods and put a bounty on Wilson. $10k for the first one to take a run at Wilson. 50K if you injure him and get suspended.
It’s terrible that the other players on the ice didn’t immediately go after TW for that hit! Horrible! That is why this is NOT a team!
That’s why they got Ryan Reaves a few years back because of what happened to Panarin by Wilson. Wilson would not fight Reaves
Every score by NYR is a complete accident or stroke of luck. There is zero playmaking, ZEE-RO.
