John Giannone and Steve Valiquette break down the 2-1 Rangers loss to the Islanders at The Garden. Carson Soucy scored his first as an Islander against his former club to open the scoring and it would be 18 year old Matthew Schaefer’s 14th goal of the season that would be the game winner. Mika Zibanejad had the lone Rangers goal on the power play.

Any reason why they don’t interview players like Lafreniere and ask ‘So…. What’d ya think?’
So is Valliquette an upgrade over Duguay?
Being a Ranger fan is so exciting now.
The team sucked from training camp. Roster construction sucked
This Isle fan is enjoying the rags 100th anniversary season.
On a night………. this team is a disaster.
This team is a leadership group. The core players are weak mentally and have no pride in themselves. It’s evident by the tone in the ice
The coach stinks the team stinks players don't work hard and the players can't put the puck in the net this team is a disaster coaching is a disaster and the most and the biggest disaster is the general manager of this team this team is has no talent
Absolutely disgusting year disgusting job by Chris Drury who has no clue of what he's doing Steve valiquette is my favorite hockey commentator in valley have tremendous respect for your knowledge and respect for your ability to tell it like it is the bottom line with his team is this team does not work hard enough they don't try hard enough they don't press hard enough they don't play a physical enough game and especially their players that are paid high do not come to play every night and that's been the biggest problem for this organization for a long time their inability to develop players through the draft develop players at the minor league and Major League system and this team is just not prepared to play at times they're lazy they don't play smart and the goaltending since Igor has left has been putrid and I just wanted to say I'm a personal note John giannone extremely happy for your recovery and you look great continued good health!!!
Total because the other thing that drives me crazy is the constant running around the constant chasing what is this team Chase all the time and why does this team continue to give up late goals and periods this is not something that's going on just under Sullivan this has been going on for years and years and years you have the 00 game and you're not smart enough to focus for the last minute and a half of the period I mean it's just disgusting to watch and this has been going on acquisition of David Quinn to bring him back to this organization to coach the defense was an absolute disastrous move on the part of Sullivan I just don't understand what the hell he's thinking about
I mean the sleepiness of the first period I agree it's just absolutely ridiculous how the rangers come out flat and flat and flat and flat every f**** night and to me that's a that's a major criticism of this team and this coaching staff I think Mike Sullivan has done a brutal job this season I mean this team never play smart this team always has a problem with positional situations they don't block Parks they run around in the zone and last night was the ultimate creme de La creme of stupidity had to watch them three times in the zone kriss Kross Kris Kross each other drop the puck off it was like watching the f**** ice capades I'm like the idea of hockey is to shoot the puck and score goal not to spin around and spin around and spin around and spin around and spin around the top of the perimeter and spin around and keep passing the park and spin around and keep passing the park and spin around and keep passing the f*** they are the most annoying f**** team I've ever watched in 53 years of hockey
Steve I also wanted to ask you about this consistent flopping in the net this silly flopping into the middle of the night or to the side of the net unnecessarily going down your pads I just don't understand that Steve can you give me the goaltenders perspective on it because I never saw Patrick Roy never I never saw Henrik lundqvist do that or John Van b any other goalie that I watched growing up I never saw a goalie flop into that like that and sit down on his pads even Steve you're so big I never saw you do that it doesn't make any sense from a goalie perspective and yesterday Jonathan quick all he had to do was stay up in his net hug his post and then stick the pocket side rather than flopping into the net by going down on his pads I don't understand this technique Steve where the hell did this garbage come from 4 ft net and I've heard Dave starman and I've heard others talk about this silly technique of flopping down into the net with your pads all it does is take you out of position I mean if you have a weak side pass and you're flopping down in your knees forget it and you also see these guys never stack their pads anymore they're always directing their one pad at the opposite side of the net and net what happens.. I don't understand what ever happened to stacking the pads I can't go and stand up in the side of the net and push off instead of flopping on their knees you know creating all kinds of condensation on their pads I just don't understand it
Yeah Connor hellebuyck alright alright alright vesna and MVP right what did he do in the playoffs nothing
How many times do we have to see the rangers give up a goal within a minute 35 of each other at the end of a period this has been something that's been going on not only tonight but going on all year long these are bad habits and this is why I don't like this coach because they keep doing the same f**** thing over and over and over and over and over and over again and they don't learn from anything I thought Gabe had a good game tonight he's impressive he has good understanding of hockey sense he has a good pair of hands
This is the most disgusting season that I've had in 53 years as a ranger fan a team that doesn't work hard to team that doesn't play hard a team that has limited talent and this is the architect Chris Drury he was a complete imbecile to have no idea what the hell he's doing
Congratulations Jonathan quick you look 40 years old
And Vincent trocheck
Isles fan here says Rangers/Islanders? Gonna be exciting, what a boring fu*king game
How many times do I have to watch the rangers look like the f**** ice capades every time they come into the zone can anybody just shoot the damn puck
F**** boring you can't f**** get more than five shots in a period in your own building just ridiculous this is absolutely ridiculous my favorite was two shots yesterday and the third period that was another one of my favorite places one lousy Stanley cup in 82 years unbelievable
Gavrikov says, "I pick things up and I put them down"
The worst captain in rangers history
Oldest f**** team is does take penalties and take more penalties and take more penalties and take more penalties by grabbing a clutching people and not hitting people and what drives me insane is how they stand and run around their own zone and not block shots Brendan ahman you can't do anything to begin with so why don't you block a shot
Look for positives all you guys do is lose at home this is 6 f**** wins in an entire season you play 40 games at home
Good news is we dont look any worse without panarin
Schaefer isn't special. He just puts himself in decent spots and then he SHOOTS THE FUCKING PUCK. He's just a good hockey player. Something we haven't drafted…. ever?
Total shame
The only hope that I have at this stage of the game is that the Rangers get a decent haul for Panarin, and win or at very least be top 3 in the draft lottery. If the Rangers can draft McKenna or Verhoff in the upcoming draft, at least I can say that something positive happened. The major problem i have is the fact that Drury is still running the show and the same management, development coaches, Drafting personnel are still in place.
I feel sorry for the fans who are season tickets holders. Paying top dollar to see a minor league team at MSG. Go Sabres!
I'm done w this F… G team.
