They want to pass the puck into the back of the net on the powerplay. That is always a sure fire way to a win. Nice to see different commercials on tnt. There broadcast crew sucks. Rangers d zone coverage looking somewhat better. But again they are way to fancy when they have he puck. I think it is going to be a vefy long season.
How does everyone feel about using the “Jamesgeau” still. I feel like it’s a good way to memorialize him. Anyone feel differently?
I don’t want to use it if anyone feels it’s disrespectful.
Summary of the preseason:
Terrible!!! Bad aftertaste in mouth and sour mood before start of the regular season.
If this is any indicator – this team will be lucky to fight for wild card. However even this is doubtful.

I have a dreadful feeling that what we have seen from the Rangers this preseason is what we are going to see in the regular season.
It’s not a skill problem with the Rangers it’s a will problem. To put it bluntly it is a problem of the heart….they have no heart.
If I am right come March a lot of guys will have address changes, the coach as well.
I hope I’m wrong.

I didn’t expect a win tonight and again we had the second best goalie. We’re seen this show before.

Hey – I’m not against blowing this team up if this upcoming season is under par.
1-5 preseason. Wow.
Admiral Ackbar
I said this a couple of weeks ago: I am not excited about this upcoming season at all, and actually I have some dread. Maybe it was the flameout against the mighty Derbils in the playoffs, despite having a hall of Famer laden roster…

I’m sorry. This is not a symptom of “pre-season.” This is a symptom of a badly constructed team. I don’t care what new systems they implement. They don’t have the balls that it takes to consistently win.
Old Ranger Fan
The fan base is very impatient. They could turn on the team quickly if it starts slowly. All the baseball and football teams stinking g doesn’t give them cover early in the season.

And the rise of the Derbils also further adds to the impatience of Rangers fans.

This team might actually truly stink.

James Gerace Obituary
James Raymond Gerace of Hewitt, NJ, passed away peacefully at his home on September 30, 2023 in the arms of his loving wife Nicole. He was 41 years old.
Born in New Rochelle, NY, on December 21, 1981, he was the son of Anthony and the late Patricia (nee Healy) Gerace.
As a two-time childhood cancer survivor, James was the epitome of a passionate fighter who took nothing for granted. His survival defied the odds and he went on to create a beautiful life with his wife, relishing daily in all of life’s simple joys. James was a soulful and compassionate listener and had an innate ability to connect deeply with everyone he met. His greatest passions in his life were his family and friends, cooking, hosting holidays and events, and his beloved New York Rangers. James’ quick wit and humor brought laughs to everyone he encountered. James worked as a medical dosimetrist for Montefiore in White Plains, NY. Above all, James was a devoted and loyal husband and father.
James is deeply missed by his family and friends, and especially by his wife and son, to whose lives he brought immeasurable light, laughter, joy, and happiness.
James is survived by his beloved wife Nicole (nee Dinos), their son James “JJ”, and their precious beagle Josie; father Anthony Gerace and his wife Andrena; brother John Gerace; step-brother Tyler Gerace; mother-in-law Mary Dinos; father-in-law Nicolas Dinos and his partner Georgette Katsetos; and brother in-law Michael Dinos and his fiancé Laura Cavazos and his nephew Nicholas Dinos.

Sad yet beautiful obituary. Clearly he was a fighter. He will be missed for sure. Even though I only sparingly interacted with him on this forum I will miss him. I miss him already.
RIP James.

Kakko’s Camp- I can’t speak for anyone else, but I think using “Jamesgeau” would be a nice little tribute to him and keep him part of this blog. RIP James.
Admiral Ackbar
G-d bless you, James G.
I promise I’ll (try harder to) keep the negativity in check, and not freak out every time the NY Islanders win. 🙂

Rest in Peace James. Gone way too soon. I think keeping the Jamesgeau is a nice tribute to him and keeps him alive on this blog that meant so much to him. Thoughts and prayers go out to his wife, son and family, as well as those of you here that were close to him.

Can Peca still take face-off?
I bet he still can, St Pete. Most likely better than anyone on our team too.
Third
You’re my boy, Kakko!
Where’s the game? Dolan’s got the balls to make us pay up?
TNT, coos, and you not gonna appreciate the way it is calling…
BTW, not a bad 1st period, for change…
Thanx 4ever. MSG now brings us the Devils or Boxing and you hunt for the NY Rangers. Brave New World.
BS NHL 22 penalty
I know it’s only preseason, but this power play is embarrassing.
powerplay way to cute
Pass pass pass
No change
They want to pass the puck into the back of the net on the powerplay. That is always a sure fire way to a win. Nice to see different commercials on tnt. There broadcast crew sucks. Rangers d zone coverage looking somewhat better. But again they are way to fancy when they have he puck. I think it is going to be a vefy long season.
That PP was a giant turd nugget 💩💩💩
Rangers just need a good 20 minutes.
Great D. K’andre and Trouba, big surprise.
Miller and Trouba ..get them the hell away from each other
Jeff
short season if they miss playoffs
Pass pass pass pass pass pass pass pass pass pass
When they pull Shesty they should use him as a forward
The best part of this game, other than Kakko’s goal, is that it’s over.
