Why am I the only one who seems to remember the player he was the last 6 years…? Dudes gonna disappear again in another few games. Stop getting your hopes up for this dog water player and even worse franchise.
Playing with Panarin Laf never had the puck and when he did he wanted no part of it. Now he has the puck constantly and is holding onto it, looking to make a play.
Laf likes playing with Perreault. They're clicking. Hope it continues
A win at MSG… in a back to back game…where the other team is the one getting shut out…where the entire team plays a full 60 minutes…where a great goalie performance isn't totally wasted… and Laffy has a hat trick.
Have I awoken on a parallel Earth, like those science fiction stories?
Or is this team finally getting it together?
so….is it possible that Panarin was the cancer that took the Ranges down?
Alot of energy. Mika, Laffy, and Gabe play like the Globetrotters. Perreault is very crafty. Laba plays like he's shot out of a cannon. Kartye, also. Get to .500, and we'll have alot of optimism for next yr.
So basicallt Panarin was a lead weight on the boys lol
I know everyone wants a top 3 pick, I totally get the logic behind that. It’s the sensible thing to do. However, if we keep playing like this consistently, I would happily win our way outta the top of the draft. I get it sounds dumb, but I’d rather us find some winning ways before next season and maybe have our younger players develop a winning mentality/culture in the organization. Outside of being impressed with the top line, I’ve thought that Kartye and Laba look good together, as do Chmelar and Edstrom. I’ve known Edstrom was fast, however seeing Chmelar this season, I find he’s a fairly good skater as well.
Take it easy , dont plan the parade just yet . Anyway I don't want to end up with the 10th or 11 th pick so these wins are counterproductive.
The only team we've played that wasn't a bottom feeder in the last 7 games was Pittsburgh, who are decidedly mid.
Lipstick on a pig. I'm happy to see Laffy do well, but I'm going to need to see more before I start calling this the new normal.
You sound foolish with your unbridled enthusiasm.
Rangers fans are probably the smartest fans in the NHL, but that doesn’t mean they know anything about hockey. The Rangers future looks bright. Don’t let these hockey ignorant fools effect your opinions.
I did
Miller is the problem buy him out
Far from ripping the league up doing good on bottom teams who are playing 2nd goalie
Signing Panarin tanked the last rebuild. Kakko and Laf didn't develop because the were never given the responsibility. Why can't Laf go back to playing LW?
Relax bro they were playing Calgary!
Unless lightning strikes you can forget about getting a Top 3 pick, it will probably be 6-8. I've said this now for years, Laffy needs to conduct plays, not be the passenger. As long as Panarin and some of the other vets were around that was never going to happen. I mean how many years has it taken to finally get him on the Top PP unit, you know the one that gets almost 75% of the PP time and not the last throw away 30 seconds?! The signs were all there early on with how the kid line played, their 5 x 5 totals were all excellent, but rather than promote them, grant them more responsibility, we continued to rely on older vets — and at some point, older vets start to breakdown. It's time to hand the team over, no full rebuild required.
Laf was always the guy to his teams. When he was drafted he didn’t need to be and took a back seat. Now he needs to be that guy again and we are seeing the results.
Laffy needed to get the hell away from Panarin. He’s now playing like the #1 pick in the draft.
I take back everything I said about Laf. Panarin was actually holding him back, and Perreault is now his best bud with Zibanejad on that line.
Lafreniere has been amazing since moving back to his natural position of LW but Tye Kartye is the one who has been impressing me the most. Cuylle, Laba and Kartye could make a really nice shutdown line for the bottom of the lineup in the future
lol bottom on the east
Sea Ranger fans it’s not all doom and gloom like most of you people think there’s a future on this team and if Shesty and Fox weren’t hurt as long as they were, this team would be battling for a playoff spot right now
I'm happy they're hanging on to Troch.
be a fan stop doing it for the money
Perreault isn't afraid to hit, even though he's not the biggest guy he puts his body on the line and I love that
Perrault is reminding me of Zuccarello a bit, different styles but both crafty, excellent passers who can play with an edge despite their sizes. if he verifies anywhere close to Zucc that is a big win for us. Laffy still has to fine tune his skating, not his speed so much, you’ve either got that or you don’t but just his edges has changes and things you don’t notice that can buy you space and opportunities. Now that he looks more engaged in enthusiastic and is finding chemistry hopefully it’ll be incentive for him to work on that. I never completely lost faith in him, but it’s was wearing quite thin. LGR
I did, I did think this was possible. Many of my past comments reflect that. Dude's awesome!!!
Just maybe Alexis is coming into his own … Needs to b one of the leaders on this team moving forward
laffy is not the guy. Where was he thru the season? Oh, they missed the playoffs.
Gabe Perreault is absolutely legit!!!
Please, meaningless games…
Whoa….who knew giving Perrault and Laf REAL ICE TIME would help them develop.
Dude I agree this could be awesome but slow down
He played like this before his contract and we all thought that was his moment. Let’s temper ourselves…
Maybe Berard needs more ice time. Sit Sheary or Raddish or Broadzinski and play Berard!!
JT Miller will come back and mess it up…….
Now get a few tough nasty players to compliment the other skilled guys it's always about the toughness in the playoffs I know I've been watching them since the 60's
Chemistry is part of development. The team looks like they are finally playing with purpose. No distractions.
I was close to selling my Laffy Jersey because of all this nonsense.
Don't get too excited they played a crummy Calgary team
Common thread…last 2 games…no J.T Miller…look at the joy on the bench
Of course they’re playing good in some ways. I’m thrilled but in some ways, I’m not you know they’re not gonna win the lottery.
They beat a bottom team. Let me know when they beat a top playoff team.
"Ripping Up The Entire NHL Right Now" Is Quite The Stretch There Bud 🙄
I said it before I will say it again…..SCREW LAFFY! he disappeared for 2 YEARS ….not months….YEARS!!!! When we needed him to perform…..now with absolutely no team left and no playoff hopes and NO PRESSURE….alll of a sudden he’s a superstar again. Fk him!!!!!!
