Sullivan has to realize that he needs to play the younger, hungrier, more productive guys over the vets. Stop being stubborn Sully
Berard is a spark plug on a team that frequently lacks energy in games. THAT'S why you play him. I'm so tired of 2 dimensional thinkers coaching this team! Laffy has shown to be lazy to me. Number 1 pick overall or not you've got to work for it or you won't succeed in the best league in the world
Respond To Me? Bret Botfeld Yankees Fan?😎💪🙏🙏 Or Mets Fan.?👎😅😂👎😅😂👎😅😂
NO MORE INTERFERING ADS!!!
And Drury needs to be fired. Srsly.
Mika doesn't need to regain anything. He has been a model teammate his entire career, one mishap with mass transit and he sat a game, case closed. Berard should be in for Brodzinski or Raddysh.
Zibanejad is not a leader.
EDIT: Laviolette moved Lafreniere to RW. If anything, that and putting him with Panarin and Trocheck was what caused his "breakout".
This team sucks even if they make the playoffs 😂 they are out after round one.
Drury destroyed a championship caliber team and since Dolan is in win mode only and won’t change anything. The team is doomed.
Sullivan is completely lost in Pittsburgh he had 87,71 & 58. What’s he have here nothing.
Play the young kids , get rid of 13,14,17,43.
Play 60,78,65,94
caps 5 rangers 2
Bret, please get a pop filter. It's hard to listen to on headphones.
Benching 93 for that was a dumb military sense of discipline where the group gets punished for the mistakes of one. That may work where making mistakes leads to serious consequences, but this hockey. There are plenty of other ways to discipline a player other than this. I know other teams do it, but I think the principle of it is flawed. Would they bench 93 for game 7 of the Cup Finals? No. If the key to discipline is consistency, what's consistent about not benching guys under different circumstances? And they lost that game, and had multiple PP chances that you think 93 would have done something on. Im glad they lost that game.
Fire sale let go
Mika is the opposite of a leader.
Please move Laff down to third or forth line. It’s where he belongs he is horrible. I wish we would trade him instead so if that’s not happening put Gabe up to first line he can’t do any worse then Laff. Bottom line here is the Rangers are no where near a Stanley cup team players like Raddish Sheary I’m even going say Cuylle and Rempi aren’t going to do it. The only player on the Rangers that you get return on is Egor. watch out he might be asked to be traded imagine that
Mika a "leader"… we are doomed !
Too much no talent deadline weight… Sheary, Laffable, Raddysh, Broadzink, Othman, Berrad.
If they dont or cant score, dont hit or fight, are not a bruised, then they serve NO purpose !
We miss Edstrom more than people know
When u have Cullye playing on the wall on a PP, you know the coaching is non-existent.
He is a brute with no hands, cant pass and all he needs to do is stand in front on the goalie…. to say that my opinion of Sully has vanished would be an understatement
Next 5 games determine season
Rangers win! Big win!
That’s the problem with these young players they are utilized the way they never were and that takes away who they really are. From 1 – 10 with 10 being awesome. The first period was a 5, the second period a 5 but the third period was a 10. It’s like they were given RedBull between periods and BANG they were off to the races. If they only played every game with the intensity they would be a whole different team. Merry X-Mas, Peace.
🎉Can We please get Alex Faust more TV games. Let Kennygo to tnt and fox. He puts me to sleep too many boring stories and how many times does he have 😅5o sY FROM THE GARDEN. WE KNOW WHERE THE GAME IS.
Trade the entire team to Anaheim and take all their draft picks for the next few years😂
If your team lacks identity you won’t play well.
You can haul all the players money can buy buy the identity is a treasure to dig out
