EM31 Posted October 1, 2021 Share Posted October 1, 2021 Not sure there will be much activity on this thread this year. Brooklyn_Jet was the heart and soul of Rangers threads in previous years and he seems to have acquired a lifetime ban. In any event here it is. New season. New GM and new Head coach. A roster which has been made over in some degree to try and address an overall lack of toughness and still one of the youngest and most talented teams. At least on paper that is. Time to make the playoffs this year. Can't sleepwalk into the season like we did last year. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It took DWC the better part of a decade and numerous last chances to get his lifetime ban yet @BROOKLYN JET seems to have been one and done.

I'm not going to litigate this with anyone, and it's not my call. But, there's a lot that goes on here that's deserving of bans and a lot of bad jokes and things in poor taste, but this, to me at least, was on another level. Never seen anything like it on this site, to be quite honest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EM31 Posted October 10, 2021 Author Share Posted October 10, 2021 Rangers and Islanders getting a little chippy. Islanders are used to being able to push the Rangers around and they are acting like nothing has changed. The Rangers at least standing up for themselves a little bit tonight. Good tone setter for the season in the final preseason game. We need to put on or two of theirs into the trainers room at some point this season just to be even or they will keep on doing more of the same.

EM31 Posted October 10, 2021 Author Share Posted October 10, 2021 Good job by the kids in the and and a win too, albeit a preseason win against one of the best two or three teams in hockey last year. Georgie always seems to play well against them Kakko is going to be a big boy when he finishes growing in the next few years and he looks like he enjoys playing with size already.

EM31 Posted October 12, 2021 Author Share Posted October 12, 2021 Tough division unless you are in the camp that feel the Penguins and the Caps may be in a pronounced decline. I do not. Both the Devils and the Rangers expect to be better this year and someone will be disappointed from the Metropolitan. For both teams it will come down to how quickly or if at all their very high draft picks start to dominate at this level. I think Jack Hughes is close to being there already. For the Rangers I would like to see Kakko take the next step (fingers crossed). I am not sure Laffy will turn into THAT GUY any time soon and Kravtsov needs to become more consistent or he might be sent back down for more seasoning.

Bungaman Posted October 14, 2021 Share Posted October 14, 2021 I'll try to chip in - a lot depends on how good my "grey" feeds are up here in VT, since I can't find a way to get the MSG on-line feed. I don't want to sign up for the NBA AND NHL season tickets - ain't got that kind of cash for purely occasional viewing, and often choppy viewing at that via crummy local DSL.

JustEndTheSuffering Posted October 14, 2021 Share Posted October 14, 2021 Last night was disgraceful. Most of the team was invisible and why Georgiev got the start is beyond me. Igor is and should be the full time starter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustEndTheSuffering Posted October 17, 2021 Share Posted October 17, 2021 Should have beat Dallas but we got a nice win in Montreal and have some points on the board. On to Toronto. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shawn306 Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 Caps are on a different level right now. They play much better against Dallas and Montreal. This team is gonna be good. Just need some time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EM31 Posted October 18, 2021 Author Share Posted October 18, 2021 Things can always get out of hand against the Caps at any time pretty quickly and they did for us on opening night. Chalk that one up to too much adrenaline and a bit of opening night jitters. The Dallas result was disappointing in the end and Montreal was a scrappy win, albeit an ugly one. This team is still finding it's bearings right now, Fox looks great and so do some of the offseason acquisitions (Blais, etc.). Overall it isn't 100% clear what we have here yet and the big unknowns remain whether or not our high draft picks take the next step as well as whether or not Mika is really all the way back. So far they get a C plus on a very small sample size. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anthony Jet Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 Minus the 2nd period, I like the way the rangers played considering they were down 2 top 6 guys. And that overtime was must see tv Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EM31 Posted October 22, 2021 Author Share Posted October 22, 2021 3-0 on the road after an iffy first two games of the season. Nice road trip regardless of the result in Ottawa on Saturday but 4-0 on the road would be kinda nice. The game last night could have been a bit easier if any one of half a dozen chances went in and Nashville looks like a good team again this year. The early results on the team makeover are looking good so far. It would be nice to get the full team out there on the ice at some point. Looking around the division, the Islanders look to be digging an early season hole the same way the Rangers did last year. In my mind that team was the favorite to take the division and they probably still are given what they have shown over the last few years but if they think they can sleep on this division and turn it on whenever they want to then I think they need to look around and see there there are fewer "easy marks" in this division than there used to be. I take no pleasure from the Islanders early season struggles.... Aww shoot, who am I kidding? It couldn't be happening to a nicer bunch 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EM31 Posted October 22, 2021 Author Share Posted October 22, 2021 Obviously with goalies you never really know until you know but wow, right now Shesterkin is playing out of his gourd.

EM31 Posted October 24, 2021 Author Share Posted October 24, 2021 Senators fans complaining loudly about the concurrent "embellishment" penalty on Stutzle with 5 minutes to go, leading to a 4 on 4 and the Rangers first goal. I think that was the 4th or 5th penalty in the game that he had drawn by that point but to be honest he could easily have had two other embellishment calls before the one that the refs actually got him for. Looks like someone may have pointed this out to the refs between periods and that they were just waiting for the next infraction. Nobody likes that crap unless their name happens to be P.K. Subban and Stutzle can expect to not receive the benefit of any doubts moving forward. Playacting is a direct attempt to fool the refs and the word on that will get around the league in a hurry. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EM31 Posted October 31, 2021 Author Share Posted October 31, 2021 CBJ game was the best all around performance of the year so far but this is a tough road trip where we might play really well and still end up a 2-2 or worse. Need to start off on the right foot against the expansion Kraken tonight. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EM31 Posted November 1, 2021 Author Share Posted November 1, 2021 Another heist last in night's game. We had no business escaping that game with points after that awful second period let alone with two points from a win in regulation. Mark of a good team regardless of the sport = Manage to find a way to win in games where you do not play well. Realistically we have one game (Columbus) where we played well everything else is a smoke and mirrors path to a 6-2-1 record. Crazy yes but good crazy.

Bugg Posted November 2, 2021 Share Posted November 2, 2021 Igor is making a case that he's not only the best goalie, but the MVP as well. Remarkable they're doing this well with minimal contributions for Zib and Panarin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
