I hate to say it, but im done with the Rangers. Dont care what they do. I might tune in once in a while, but their games will not be first on my mind anymore.
Im also tired of the talk, almost half way thru the season, and no optimism in sight.
Like I said beginning this season is that they would suck at back end of back to backs because the team’s top players are old. The geniuses that built this team has zero foresight yet us fans knew. Infuriating!
Trochek is horrible when it's 5 on 5. And why would team USA want ANY Ranger on the roster? None are deserving
I think we need a daily lafrenre rant video please buddy got a girl and just shows up to collect his check everyday
Season over after next 5 games… time to sell off.
GOT TO GO list….Laffy #1
Laffy#2 Laffy#3, then Brodzonksky, Shearless, Tro that doesnt check and Raddish
I would ordinarily give a bbreak to a team suffering a flu outbreak – except we've see too many flat games with no virus excuse.
For cellar teams, the Rangers have become the Washington Generals of the NHL.
Goalies' efforts are wasted;they get run and zero retribution.
Philly enforcer beats up a rookie – no pushback.
Sick of soft!
If we can't score, call up Chmelar, Roobroek and Mackay. If we can't be Edmonton of the 80's, we can be the Philly team of that era…. and how could the games or the results be any worse?
Brodzinski deserves a spot on the team over Sheary. Give him a chance on the first line. He's always playing hard on the boards for the puck and that could create more opportunities
Laf is a bust and might go down as the worst 1st pick in the last 20 years. Morrow on the PP is just ridiculous. Coaches fail to make adjustments.
I live in Michigan for the past 15 years it makes ne chuckle to hear you speak of having trouble seeing all the rangers games.
I have triple package
ESPN+, HULU, DISNEY.. $25
There is no recipe for success with this franchise
Trochek and Laffy both have really been so bad now for a season and a half.
The problem is dolan how can you people not understand that. First with slats and the worst scouting and drafting in hockey for 20 years straight. Up until 5 years ago or so no goalie coach for the minors from the most valuable team in the league money wise. This organization is a joke. Troubas comment last week said it all. It doesnt matter who the players or gm or coach are until dolan is gone the culture will never be corrected. Whoever thought extending the softest player ever in mika is a clown. Like trading your captain mcd and jt for a bag of pucks. Then mika quit on the team last year bc of a business move in a business. Guess what mika if kteider had your protection youd be gone not him and wed be way better off. Total joke from the top down. Laf is not the problem. #1 pick given 4th line minutes and no pp first 2 years while other first rounders not even number 1s top minutes pp etc. Why would he care plus watching the "leaders" quit on the team and fans. Get rid of everyone over 25 blow it up put everything in to paying mcjesus whatever it takes to bring him here after next season after we get 3 more high first rounders by then from sucking
I cant watch this team. Im sorry.
Bret, remember 2 years ago when the Rangers had a killer powerplay? This year it is abysmal at best. Remember when we had 26 come from behind wins……..this team can't find any consistency. One night they play a North/South, good forecheck game and other nights they look confused…….also when are they going to sit Laffy? Make him a #1 pick for towel boy. He skates around chasing pucks and hardly ever uses his skills driving to the net. Shameful and a waste of talent.
Johnny B. Reliable.
I believe they are just tanking this year to try to get Gavin McKenna
From Gordon building a powerhouse to Drury demolishing it into the strangers
Fire Sullivan
Yep I know I know we have injuries
But as long as this staff continues to deploy a third line winger with our best offensive player he has to go
Get Panarin away from 13 (garbage)
Right.forget the olympics . I think I will go with sabres, forget rangers
Brodzinski gives a shit; most of the rest of the team doesn't.
Only good thing bout espn plus ..GET all other games ..Nice to watch real NHL hockey ..Really been BRUTAL Watching Blue-shirt hockey 🏒🏒🏒
It should be noted that the Sabres have won 6 in a row. The point gap is closing.
Let's face reality here…the Rangers season is over…and it's only just before the halfway mark. The f-ing Olympics aren't going to help them as well. A rusty team won't be a winning team…
GET RID OF THESE INTERFERING ADS!!!!
And Drury should be fired.
The game was on MSG2 but also this team is so embarrassing. All quit in NY. I also don’t give a shit about Olympics, there shouldn’t be one Rangers player playing in them.
At least on Optimum TV, the game was available on a third channel, SP1 (?). It was Channel 205, I believe. The games are generally blacked out on ESPN+.
Age is a pathetic excuse for how they played and I completely dismiss it. Brad Marchand it 37 years old … 3 years older than the oldest one of the 3 of them …. he has also played in 1,134 NHL games…. The closest to him is Mika at 967 … then Trocheck at 825 and then Panarin … who by the way is closest to his by age but has played in only 725 games ….let me do that math … 409 fewer … let me put that in perspective for you … Adam Fox has played in 458 Games. A ridiculous excuse. They are in their early 30's, not 40's
This team is in need of some Hockey trades for gods sake
This is the most boring f**** team I've ever watched in my life I've been a ranger fan 53 years I've never seen such boring teams such a team that doesn't work hard that doesn't attack I mean I'm not going to put them complete blame on Coach Sullivan and the staff because this talent is pretty lame I'm putting the blame on the general manager who made this team slower older and it's traded younger players and never developed on her place in the minor league level this team has had horrible drafts for the last 50 years and this team never ever goes about building a team in the right way I think they had a core of players that did the best they could and they made a run.. Mika please wave your no trade Claus and get out of New York please I can't take it anymore
Why did the pros play its asinine let the amateurs play anybody remember miracle boy Herbie Brooks is turning over in is grave
All-Star game between between a bunch of countries that's all this is a bunch of nonsense play representing my country give me a breakdown play in the f**** United States
Most of them play in the United States except for some time and I'm not playing a little countries like Liechtenstein
Trocheck looks like he was drunk last game
Brodz plays tough. Stop pulling him out. The team is on cruise control. No heart. Time to break up the band. Look at the Isles. As painful as that is they seem to have that Will to win. The fire is OUT
I listened to the GM down here in NOVA & after this display, didn’t bother to watch lowlights. Screw the olympics & their woke garbage. Once the allowed pros to play a few decades ago, I stopped watching them. If it matters, I attended the 94 parade in NYC, drank beer on the train on the ride into town w all the commuters. Sit the vets,
Play the yutts
