JustEndTheSuffering Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 What a bullsh*t ending to that game. That’s a goal but can’t make excuses because after going up 2-0 we looked like sh*t. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure he was. He is a GREAT Ranger, but Richter won a cup. Thoughts???? I'll try to answer this from a long time Devils fan and season ticket holder from 1987-2004 perspective. It was game #6, in our barn, of the classic 1994 series with you guys. Ranger fans will always refer to it as the "Messier game, but I always call it the Richter game. We were up 2-0 after one, and if not for Richter literally standing on his head in the 2nd period, it would have been 6-0. It was maybe the greatest exhibition of goaltending that I've ever seen. We all know how that one ended. Hank definitely did more with lesser teams, buy for my $, it will always be Mike Richter. Either way though, you can't go wrong with either guy. They both oozed class, greatness and true professionalism, and we were all lucky to have been able to see them for so many years. Congrats, Hank, you belong up there.

EM31 Posted February 2, 2022 Author Share Posted February 2, 2022 Big win last night, maybe the biggest win of the year against a VERY good team. Now we get two weeks off. Time to sit back , get healthy and enjoy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got it this year because for whatever reason MSG decided to black out even the replays of the games (I live in South Carolina with Direct TV) It is actually not bad. I will cancel after the season so I think I am paying like $42.00 for the season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shawn306 Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 Real nice win over a good Panther team last night. It is going to be interesting to see if the Rangers make any moves before the trade deadline. Been alot of chatter about bringing JT Miller back, I think they are going to make moves. Alot of the playoff teams have little to no cap space to bring in a prime player (Patrick Kane ?) and the Rangers have some young talent they can move if need be.

Miller got better after he left here and I have always respected what Giroux brings to the table I really think he could help us make a deep playoff run. We have cap room and we have a talent pipeline logjam. Now the question is do we have a GM who is not going to get fleeced by other GMs who are probably salivating at that very prospect.

EM31 Posted February 2, 2022 Author Share Posted February 2, 2022 The next question may end up being this one. In order to land a premium player, other teams may ask for Kapo Kakko or Alexis Lafrenniere, Is this team willing to give up so soon on a #1 overall and/or a #2 overall pick?

I like Zac but agree 100% Right now trade pieces are a young defenseman, Kravstov, Chytil (if anyone will take him) and we will talk about Kakko or Laffy but if we do the price has to go up. Given that we have plenty of cap room that means that we may be the ONLY logical destination for some players with big contracts. I am not sure we even need to give up any picks this year. On the other hand sellers always think they will come away with a King's ransom which is why deals at the wire reflect actual market prices.

Team was a bit rusty but the Bruins are still a good team and we bagged the two points in the end. 3rd defensive pair of Schneider and Zack Jones looked good too., Maybe we don't need to add defensive help at the deadline or maybe Jones is being showcased.

EM31 Posted February 25, 2022 Author Share Posted February 25, 2022 Rangers continue booking wins. This one against a sleepwalking Capitals team tonight. Penguins on Saturday in a matinee game. People openly discussing Shesterkin as a live Hart trophy candidate which is astonishing and rare for a goaltender to be in that conversation.

EM31 Posted February 26, 2022 Author Share Posted February 26, 2022 I hate matinee games. 3PM just feels so wrong. I don't have any data to support this position but if feels like the Rangers do not do as well in these kinds of games. In any event it is what it is and I have been waiting all year to see how we match up with the Pens. #2 vs. #3 in the Metropolitan and 2nd place on the line directly in this game. Good stuff.

Go Rangers! They played them straight up! Tough loss. Zigs had a good opportunity with 12 seconds to pay as well as a few others. Hard to believe Malkin (goal) Crosby and Letang have been together for over 10 years. I hope we’ll be able to say the same for some of our young stars.

Rangers9 Posted February 28, 2022 Share Posted February 28, 2022 I was thinking a few days ago about potential players the Rangers could trade and a name not mentioned in rumors is Alex Lafreniere. He was the overall no 1 pick in the previous years draft and seemed like a disappointment. Earlier in the season the coach started playing him less and I was thinking maybe he was giving up on him. But recently that might have changed. He seems to finally be getting it and you’re seeing some of the talent level that led to his super high draft position. He is making sometimes great passes is showing skills at a high level. If he keeps it up he could maybe be a top player. He’s got a way to go right now he has 12 goals and 4 assists not what they expected but again it looks like he’s starting to get it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had season tix for 20 years. Look at Jack Hughes. It's taken 3 years of getting through injuries, learning and getting stronger for him to start showing why he was the #1 pick. He now is averaging over a point/game, on a team , to be charitable, that is clearly lacking overall high end talent. Your guy is a similar talent, Give him time. Teams would knock down your door to get him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is still growing. Sometimes you have to give these kids some time to grow and mature. I would bet you right now the Senators still wish they had Zibanejad or the Blackhawks still had Panarin.

Kakko needs to get healthy but even there you just do not trade the #1 overall or the #2 overall, Unless it brings back a true superstar in return and none of those are on offer, Rangers have 32 Million in cap room and they have a loaded talent pipeline with which to make any deals, We may have to give up a Zack Jones or a Lundquist because we have a bit of a log jam of young defensemen. We may have to eat some contract dollars but we can do that too, No need to trade Laffy or Kapo at this point. In fact it is a terrible idea unless the talent coming back is Eichel level or better 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EM31 Posted March 7, 2022 Author Share Posted March 7, 2022 Mini-slump over followed by three wins in a row. Tuesday (3/8) will be tough because it feels like the Wild match up against us better than the Blues (3/10) or Dallas (3/12). Maybe Georgie gets the start on Tuesday.
