faba Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 Playoff position is bunched up so we have to get back on track. Good win but Minnesota looked and played tired from schedule they have had. Beat Caps Sat then Boston and Islanders next week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JetCane Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 Good win against Boston last night. The Rangers have won 5 of 6 pts in last 3 games vs caps (leading the east with most pts), bruins and dallas stars (who are leading the west.) Next up: the isles.

shawn306 Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 This team is in need of a shakeup. They can't keep going on this win one, lose one, win one, lose another. I really expect Yandle to be dealt at the deadline and would not be surprised if the Rangers spring something even bigger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shawn306 Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 How do you Ranger fans feel about Hagelin as a Penguin now? About the same as Callahan, Boyle and Stralman going to Tampa last year. They were appreciated for their time and effort. I don't know what happened with Hagelin in Anaheim. I thought it was a good place for him but I guess not. I think he will be fine in Pittsburgh as a second or third line winger and will help on penalty kills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bombdirt Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 Weeeeeeeee two-game winning streak. Fun fact: the last time we won two in a row was November 21 & 23. Senators tomorrow, time to check off some more road wins. The weather is screwing up the travel schedule, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JetCane Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 Nice comeback win against the Wild. Philly today in a matinee. It's going to be a MAD SCRAMBLE for the playoffs this year. Washington is sitting pretty, and so is Florida, to a lesser extent. After that, it's a dogfight for playoff position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shawn306 Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 Well in case anyone hasn't noticed. The Rangers despite all their horrific defensive play (Staal and Yandle) are back to winning again. Nice win over the Flyers, busted up Wayne Simmonds a bit, and continue to win at home. (Despite the brutal loss to the Kings on Friday night) Right now the Rangers have are tied with Florida with the second most points in the East. Sooner or later the Caps have to hit a dry spell. Don't they ? Another big test on Wednesday when Chicago comes to town Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TuscanyTile2 Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 Trade Yandle? I sure hope so. He's good but we need to think long-term. We gave up a potential young star in Duclair. We need to get one back this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We gave up a potential young star in Duclair. We need to get one back this year. I don't think it is going to happen. With McDonaugh and Staal both hurt right now I don't think the Rangers can afford to deal Yandle. They need something though. Last night they were good for the first period and then went in the tank again. There is no consistency with this group for whatever reason. Injuries, maybe just a lack of fire right in their belly's. I don't know. All I know is that this team minus St.Louis and Hagelin basically should not be as bad as they have been at times this year.

Bugg Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 Seems as if they added Eric Staal for 2 #2s and some prospects. Assuming Nash can get healthy by playoff time, the team that played yesterday is gonna be a very tough out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shawn306 Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 I think he got banged up when McDonagh hit him. He was trying to get the linesman attention but when he was basically ignored he took matters in his own hands. LOL Neck Spasms from what I am hearing. They called up a goalie from the minors so i am not sure if he is even playing tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMHO this Ranger team has been up and down and not as talented overall as last year's team, or the year before that. But, it is going to be interesting to see how the final standings go, and what the first round matchups will be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bombdirt Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 My expectation level for this team is pretty low this year compared to the last couple. The East is just crazy tough, and they're slumping at the wrong time. Tonight is the best chance to officially clinch a playoff berth; after that it's the Lightning, Isles and Red Wings. All home games, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For whatever reason this Rangers team just is not playing with the intensity and urgency that the 2014 and 2015 have played with. That being said. IF the Rangers get in and right now that is a big IF...they can pretty much clean the slate and start anew with the post season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shawn306 Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 Another horrible start last night against Tampa Bay. The Bolts are so hurt right now, that that is the only reason the Rangers were able to come back and win last night. Lundqvist really saved their bacon. They really REALLY need to get their D taken care of before the playoffs start next week. At this point I don't even know how I would pair any of them. McDonagh is out. Girardi got banged up last night (Don't know if that is bad though considering his play this year). Boyle is an abortion. I would like to see McDonagh,Klein,Staal, Yandle, Girardi and either McIrath, or Skjei. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bombdirt Posted April 17, 2016 Share Posted April 17, 2016 Nice win tonight. That said, before that outburst in the second period I felt like we were getting thoroughly outplayed. I hope this is something of a momentum shift. I also hope things are okay injury-wise; a couple of key guys got knocked around in this one.

Bugg Posted April 17, 2016 Share Posted April 17, 2016 Girardi is day to day, but he was awful before he went out anyway. Mcdonagh isn't expected to play in this series. The Rangers have also recalled Raffy Diaz from Hartford. AV tied McIlrath to the bench most of the 3rd. Braby Skljeli played very well though. Would be surprised to see Girardi play over him, but AV favors vets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
