FIRST meaningless game after clowns’ show.
I have a feeling they’re still on vacation.
I expect this to resemble a preseason game. Stupid useless All Star nonsense.
So Kratsov and Goatboy are sitting? Sheesh.
Vesey on the first line Goodrow on the second line? Sometimes I just don’t understand what GG is doing.
Oh….just now Hank already gave a preemptive it’s been 9 days since they played comment.
LGR!
Gonna wait for the puck drop before calling this a loss
Is it the trade deadline yet?
Chaotic start as expected…
Phil the Thrill!!
Woot
Chytil with a Messier impersonation.
Are we still trading Heetle?
Maloney with the Don Cherry
Jaro looks good
I like a nice slice of Mangiapane every once in a while.
hook on Trocheck there?
That was an uuuuuuuugly goal
Tired of autogoals…
Upstate….. looked
WHY DOES HE ALWAYS ACCEPT THE FIGHT? WHY??!!!
Trouba train
Phenomenal LEGAL hit.
Trouba as Barry Beck. I like that.
Trouba dropped gloves first.
Holy begeezus, they got it right!
Mack Troub
Mack Troob
Nice flyby by Panarin on the Flames goal. He earned minus on that one. Someone digging for the puck at your goalies feet you don’t make a right turn.
So nice I said it twice
They only got it half right. Roughing not instigating 🙂
Nice, no call on the high stick on Zika. Great reffing as usual
Holy horrible giveaway by goodrow. Smfh
And PP1 does it again! If does it means nothing.
Sammy boy is back
Weegar beat the pulp out of cuylle
Love these division rivalries.
Inability to score on PP becomes a real Rangers’ problem and can cost them now and in a future if that continues…
Lou-cheech = Neanderthal knuckledragger
Old Time Hockey.
what exactly is penalty ?
Legal hit by St Blais
That’s a legal hit. Thanks again, whistle idiots
Good on Sammy to stick it to Lucic
Puck was kinda gone when Blais hit him.
Free Sammy
W in the f just transpired with Blais??
Someone will have to fight caveman lucic later on
Teflon Sammy Blais
Hah review for hit to head and penalty competent negated.
Holy crap. That’s totally on the refs for starting that by calling a non-penalty. I’m happy with the calls, but these refs are horrendous.
Kreider has completely forgotten how to deflect the puck at the net.
You know what I’m saying
Not sure what Sutter is mumbling …but its bad
PP Impotents
Laffy laffy laffy 🤦🏼♂️
Next powerplay will be for Mumbles
If they don’t get their power play figured out, they’ve got zero business going for it at the trade deadline.
SHASTY LOOKED SURPRISINGLY INTERESTED IN THIS GAME…
That was a wild period of hockey. Old school hooliganism.
I just watched the Cheadle goal because I started watching late. Great shot, but the pass off the boards but Kakko….whew boy
*by
Didn’t know Stemmer once hired a guy to break another dudes wrist and ankle
So is Cuylle going to have to fight every game?
Think Big Ben is gonna earn that extension this game and fight Lucic
DOUBLE CHEADLE!!
Woot woot
Chytl = non-bust
All I can say is…… Chytil. Awesome.
Phil’s trade value is through the roof! 🙃
CONTINUE LIKE THAT AND HE WILL SCORE ANOTHER 66 BEFORE THE SEASON ‘S END.
I think the “Trade Chytil (or not)” debate is going to go full bore by tomorrow…. 😉
Do we want to give away the next Mika?
We have to trade Chytil now….we need another tomato can and a 7th round pick.
That’s definitely NOT funny. At all. Long and dangerous dwelling in our zone…
GG gonna appreciate that Chtyil defensive play more than the goals
Ranger first line needs to wake up already
good shift …cheap slash on Vesey after save
What a save and what patience and control by vesey
Kreider, reminding Ranger fans why we never want him to pass
Smgdh
Jamesgeau
WHY in the azz did he pass that? And without looking? Geezus
They have been outplayed pretty badly this period. They didn’t need the too many men call. Chytil will stay until the Summer. Panarin is still in Florida. He looks awful tonight.
And, we’re negative on special teams. That never happens🙄
Panarin has looked awful for a while now
Panarin has played a key role in both Flame goals. Sit him for a while.
Expected. They are by far better and dangerous in this period in general. And as I said inability to score on own PP bites…
They look really bad in their own zone especially this period.
The good thing is that we can’t be embarrassed by losing after going into the third ahead. Silver lining.
Fox has been off his game too. Let’s not send anyone to the All Star Game in the future.
The kid line is working, where is the big bucks line?
What is so disappointing about Laffy, that he doesn’t even show any particular individual skills (technical or others) with a puck or shots, for such a unanimous 1st pick…
More no calls but the refs.. They’ve played a big part in this one as well.
Trouba is a BEAST.
Stop. Accepting. The effing. Fight!!
I think he’s my new favorite Ranger. Troub Troub baby!
TROUBOOM
Trouba might as well drop his gloves while he’s making the hit.
Trouba train 2
That looks like a legal hit again. Kadri actually cut in and made the bigger.
That should be two instigators
They HAVE to punish Kalgary by PP goal!!! YES!!!!
Assist ..to the Captain
Woot woot woot
Finally!
Got to make them pay ocassionally.
There ya go!
The Troub effect! Bam!
Kreider shouldn’t pass 😉
He almost didn’t get that shot. Gave Markstrom all the time in the world to get over. Whew!
Panarin is happy…..he was worried he might be headed to the doggie den after his bonehead penalty.
Gravy, that’s the first time that pass by him has worked this season, and he’s attempted it many, many….many times.
And F Kadri too – he’s no angel the filthy cretin
Lucic and Kadri are from the family rodentus. I wonder how come Sam doesn’t talk about those wonderful families?
Is Dillon Dube related to Christian (Horse Meat) Dube?
Barzal’s FO % is about the same as Chytil’s and the Isles will be paying him $9.15 MM next season.
Leetch was the only homegrown Ranger on that list. Sad
Jack Hughes – 35 goals this season. Does Laffy even have that for his career?
Henrik is a bookie for Caesars?
Sammy doesn’t need to do drop passes at the blue line. Get it deep.
Kreider
Pass<Shot
When you have a clear shooting lane….should you not shoot?
LAF was supposed to be better than Hughes. Sure doesn’t look that way.
Sam already robbed this one from us with that Calgary third period stat
He was kicking for a field goal
Kick, but 50-50 they call it 🤷🏻♂️
That’s definitely a kick. I didn’t think it was until the overhead view.
The kicked in rule. The most folked up rule in the NHL.
kICKED!!!!
Coin toss in Toronto. Or maybe the Magic 8 ball. All signs point to Yes!
That’s a side of the foot soccer kick.
Rangers never get these calls
I’m pretty sure the nhl will f$#@ us on this one, though
It was allowed :/
What a joke
BULLSHNIT
Unreal. It is a Canadian team so…
Do rules mean anything in the NHL?
WWE officiating.
Plenty of time. Where’s Chytil?
This feels like a loss. They really haven’t done much except for Trouba and Chytil.
UNFORGIVING …
Time to change that rule…..and half of the rest of the rulebook
This is done. They look defected and aren’t playing hard anymore.
Eff you bettman and these shnitty refs.
*dejected
And there it is. Not much of an effort tonight.
🤮🤮
The Rangers will score the same way Mangiopane did and it will be disallowed for kicking
Halak has been pretty good his last few games, but that was crap.
This kicked goal change the momentum, mental state and predisposed the potentially lost game
Refs stole a minimum of a point from us
And Sam jinxed them
Sweet feed
Bobby everytime Sam opens his mouth like that it backfires.
93 scored….disregard my comment.🤯
Woot woot woot woot
Yo yo Ma!
Mikka Scorra Goalla.
They aren’t very good defensively. When you need 5 to win you are a mediocre team.
Zika kicked that in
Sam is a damn mush. Any time the words “Rangers are skating well” or “Rangers have been good tonight in their own zone” or… in tonight’s case: “Calgary has not won a game this season when trailing going into the 3rd period.”
What a mush….
That 10 minutes he played on Saturday wore Shesty out.
Don’t sit next to Sam at the track or OTB or a casino or even on a roller coaster.
Put Sam in the bat-troom
Rangers just need a good 6 minutes…
Play for the point.
Fourth line not playing.
4th line not very good defensively tonight. GG playing it safe.
Did Sam just call Kakko – Andersson?!!!
Trocheck has been awful this game
Bad penalty at a really inconvenient time to take one.
Dumb Vinnie, dumb.
Another dumb penalty.
Shoot the damn puck
CHEADLE!! WTFFFFF??!!!
Chytil had the game on his stick. Sigh
Why??? Shoot the freaken puck!!!
Shoot the puck, Stupid!
Too many passes.
Only a Ranger would have a chance at a hat trick, with a fantastic opportunity, after shooting any other time he’s been in the same zip code as the net……and pass it.
What an Chidiot for not shooting
We just need to make it to the shootout and we have a chance.
Woot woot woot woot woot
Hey coach…..leave those kids alone
Stick Salute, Mama!
Entertaining game but for the record Toronto sux
Comeback win
“Chidiot” lmaooooooo
Take 2 & run!
That was a really gritty performance……not Philly muppet from hell…..if they play like that more often then I am more than ok with it.
Best Laffy has skated all year
It was a very entertaining game. It would have been fun to watch if I didn’t care who won.
NEW POST
Wow Mr. Metaphor. What don’t you understand about Ranger fans enjoying Islander losses and Islander fans enjoying Ranger losses. I still have a memory of Dennis Potvan along the sideboards after we beat the Isles in 78/79 in 6 games. Years of hearing 1940. The hatred is intense. What does the amount of games left have to do with anything than making us happy. Let’s move on please.
