The Rangers again owe many of us two or three hours of missed sleep for enduring all 61 minutes of the game last night. Incredibly disappointing that they could not hold a two goal lead through the last 15 minutes of play, instead giving up goals at 14:12 and 18:15 which pushed it to overtime – where they prompty lost at just 00:59.
The brief excitement of seeing Fox, Lafreniere and Zibanejad (PPG) score went out the window. Igor was not his best, giving up 5 goals on 33 shots, including one a short handed late in the first period.
The official scoring summary is below:
Even with the OT/L, the Rangers remain in the mix for the wild card that nobody wants.
The Rangers play again tonight against the weakest team in the league, the San Jose Sharks, Saturday at 19:30 PDT, telecast by MSG and NBCSCA. You may wish to use sedatives if you watch 😉

Pass, what’s the point?
CCCP I wrote about the Pens and how their management has been working since the end of the 21 season to set up their rebuild. Constrast to Drury.
The Pens have 30 picks over the next three seasons. Four 1st, six 2nd, eight 3rd
Minx – pass gets you no points, thats the problem!
Incompetent

The Superfecta. Hard to hit, but we did it.
Has to be in #93’s and #16’s contracts that they MUST face the live Press whenever called upon. If not, I give them credit for not hiding.
Rangers play Ducks, quack up.
Munster is infuriating! Our cowardly live Press even more so for letting him away with it.
What a piss poor performance. The whole organization needs a major overhaul and possible fumigation. Can they ever do anything right?
LaCoast in Room holding up dollar bill: ‘I got MINE, boys. Go get yours!’
Still time to hire Torts and make playoffs!
If Ducks didn’t parade to the box last night they would have won by 5
Still time for Torts to gift Sam a bottle of vinegar disguised as vino.
“He’s (KAM) been excellent,” head coach Peter Laviolette said following the win in Columbus. “He’s been skating with the puck. He’s been moving the puck, defending well. He and (Will Borgen) have taken on tough minutes. They play against the top lines as much as possible, and I think his game has been right on point. It’s really starting to show down the stretch.”
This is a prime example of the mammoth idiocy we fans put up with.
Beezle
Good point! How about this, why bother?
Rich
The only thing the organization does right is everything wrong.
Adding Kandre to the Huggy twins list as needing to be gone next season …he’s never gonna get it..not here anyway
Torts post NYR:
Regular: 766 G 360/308/98 0.534 P%
Playoff: 31 G 13/18 0.419 W%
Past expiry, do not open container, dispose of properly. If you want to watch comedy, plenty on Netflix
Remove the dead wood and non-defenders so this team can move forward
Pens will need 3 to 5 seasons for those picks to mean anything
10:36 – Caesar’s Wife.
Calgary currently #16 in NHL by P%. They have a -23 goal diff. The only other negative goal diff of higher ranked teams is MIN at -6. WPG +81 and least GA (172) and third most GF (253). NYR -3 as one might expect of mediocrity.
SN
So since Drury pissed away most of the Rangers picks what is our time-line? I can’t even imagine.
SN – sure, it won’t happen over night and they are probably going to trade some of those picks along the way too to fill out the roster. But if they are as good drafting as they are getting the picks, they are set up for a long run.
Time will tell
Pens still Malkinstein, Karlsson and The Tang to move for more picks when they miss next year.
Crosby’s deal may be best value in pro sports making the same as Meeka Mouse
wake up dolan. dreary needs to go. pronto.
only an idiot gm would hire torts. problem is drury is an idiot gm. one too many concussions altered his brain,
karlsson of pens is awful.
As called out by Joe Michaleti last night
2 goal lead in the third
An odd man rush CANNOT happen
Hockey iq 101
Whoever’s fault that was needs to sit
I think Laffy with the poor read and too aggressively deep far side instead of supporting high but I could be wrong
No accountability all season. Random benchings of Kreider and Kaako instead of having reasoning and direction
I expected way more from Laviolette
Our presidents trophy wasn’t because of him. It was despite having him I guess
Or the honeymoon is over and reputation got him as far as it could in the room
how many coaches does dreary get to hire and fire.
how many draft picks does he get to trade
pens loading up on picks. smart strategy
Watching last night’s game is was almost comical how many times Miller was on the ice for goals against. In the 3rd period it looked like he was always on. Again just like with Chytill we have waited to long to trade him. Lucky to get a 2nd round pick for him now.
Will our coach ever bench any of these clowns for their crappy performance.
Also stop putting our the same 5 guys on 1st power play. It has not worked all year. Put out players who will shoot the dawn puck.
Lastly they can fire the coach. The Flyers had the balls to do it,why can’t we?
jeff
so we fire the coach and not the gm. be at least the 3rd coach dreary fired. was the coaches the ones who traded all the 1’s and 2’s?
i’m fine with getting a new coach. not torts of course
but we need a new gm. let the current occupant of the gm chair go back to his pizza joint
How many coaches do the players and Drury get to send packing? Last nights loss should be the last nail in the coffin for Laviolette, Drury, KAM, Zbad, Kreider, Laf, Panarin, Fox, etc. This entire organization needs to be stripped down to the studs. All coaches including Hartford need to go. All scouts need to go. Bring in people who can evaluate talent and compete level and actually develop players. This current team is an absolute disgrace filled with quitters who refuse to compete.
My biggest fear is that Drury is the next Sather, GM for life or until he decides to quit. Dolan needs to sell this team.
hartford is 7th of 8 in their division
that’s on dreary too
I agree with all of you. Tear it down from the top to bottom. This team will not be good even with a whole new management team for at least 5 years. As Danny Glover said in “Lethal Weapon”
” Im getting to old for this sh**t”
At least with this team over the last two years I have learned to stop caring when they lose and when they do win it’s just OK.
So you’re saying there’s a chance?
With 5 or 6 of Hartfords best players playing w big club, no wonder they are trash.
Clowns to the left of me, jokers to the right…
Hartford been bad all season
And those best players were playing there for much of the season
12:42 LOL
Waiting for these clueless guys to put out a Rap video like the old uber embarrassing Sasson jeans fiasco.
isles down 3 after 1
[Expert Analysis Alert!]
I think the whole “No Tax on Tips” talk has affected Kreider’s production on the power play. Yes?
Corporal it was LaCoast who sent it around the boards trying to get to Miller who did not handle it. Cuylle was in the slot and Miller the opposite circle. Cuylle went towards the corner where the puck was, Miller (smartly) backed up and started skating out of the zone. Good thing as the Miller flub led to the race down the ice to the other end. None of the three forwards made it back in time as they were all essentially down at the goal line.
So TBL helping so far. Need OTT and BOS to do the same so when the Rangers just get a point tonight they’ll be in the lead 🤣
Alex,
Does it really matter at this point if teams they’re “battling” for a playoff spot continue to lose when the team we route for is soft serve vanilla topped with hot garbage and a side of “meh?” It doesn’t matter if they somehow squeak in with like 84 points. They suck!
Huggie Twins, D-Andre need to go.
And I’m a huge Kreider fan. But it’s over.
All I care about is that they finish 14th or higher, nothing else matters. Drury can’t fix this, not remotely possible, and Dolan (loves his Knicks) won’t fire him. The pens cannot get next year’s pick I will lose my mind. I’m already broken by the Cotton Candy Crew!
@Beezle
This bunch doesn’t deserve our effort of scoreboard watching.
Torts’ wife: ‘Dammit, he’s heading home again.’
You’ll all change your tune when they make it and knock out the Craps in five!
Let’s do this! Hope springs eternal
Beezle
I need a drink after that comment PLAYOFFS! LOL!
TBL trying to F t his up for us
Beezle,
You’re stuck in the past.
This team is bouncing nobody in 5.
And another thing- I wouldn’t be shocked to see Kreider retire or demand a trade in the off-season (not that any of us would object). Who knows- maybe then, his pal Zika will decide to waive his no move clause as well. One can only hope…. Dark days ahead for our boys in blue. Need a full teardown this time around, not a “retool.”- from top to bottom.
Icelanders lose!
Craig never, ever underestimate the ability of the Crapitals to choke
Beezle,
And then what? This team is way too comfortable with losing. They’re not built for battle. They won’t go to the dirty areas consistently enough to win when it matters most. Every team they play wants it more than they do- that can’t be manufactured.
Kreider just may retire his body must be broken or he knows this core has been terminated. Last years loss to the Panthers put the finishing touches on what was a decent run to just not good enough!
craig weather guy
those teams losing may help us get to 14th pick so the pick is this years not an unprotected pick for next year
i see bo has a friend. isn’t life great
i can definitely see a kreider buyout assuming he is deemed healthy
then at least i won’t have to see 2 “people” using huggy twins moniker. i certainly didn’t miss the newbie with that expression. was hoping he went the way of wicky as in somewhere else.
Icelanders lose AGAIN? They should have hired Patrick Roy back when they had the chance.
Alex,
Yes- I’m sure those picks will be franchise-altering, especially with how this organization develops talent. Look no further than our most recent 1OA and 2OA…. ah, the very epitome of success. Let’s also not leave out our stud defensemen K’Slide…. The verdict is still out on Otter, but… seems he’s following in the footsteps of his pick predecessors! So yeah- I wouldn’t get caught up on draft position with the current brass in place. But hey, what would I know other than what my and everyone else’s eyes have been telling them… 🤷♂️
Where is newbear? On secret assignment?
Where is newbear… On secret assignment?
looking at overall standings we’ll have to beat out west teams from utah on down. and be 9th team in east to get to 14th pick.
calgary and vanc opening up room on us.
bears repeating
why couldn’t dreary have made it 10th instead of 13th.
We keep putting why’s in front of Drury’s decisions, he’d an idiot it’s not complicated.
One side probably wanted 15 the other 10 so met in middle
its to our advantage for the pick to be this year. our gm messed up again.
Again and again and again rinse repeat.
Do Paul Maurice or Jon Cooper put up with hugging on their teams?
wwpd
Probably not.
wwpd
not cool
and you’ll have to ask trocheck. since many want him to be C. and he partakes every time
When they’re hugging, we’re winning. Maybe we need more of it.
i ask again to be banned. its getting worse since others are now piling on
Cool when THE jumps and reaches for the sky to hi-5 Rempe.
Ha totally forgot they don’t have a captain again.
What kind of team has a captain only 2 out of the last 7 years?
St Pete’s “The only thing the organization does right is everything wrong” should be inscribed into the sidewalk at 32nd +7th
Shifting gears to a less touchy subject – was last night the most embarrassing loss of the season? Should we organize a bracket for it?
This team couldn’t use a guy like this? https://x.com/broadway_block/status/1906014291045576953?s=61
an idiot gm would hire him. which scares me since we have an idiot gm
he’s gotten progressively worse with each team he coached
But If the Flyers had goaltending they would be a playoff team
not true re philly unless you’re talking brodeur or roy
torts has become a caricature of himself.
he was good in his mid 40s. long long ago
We will never know
Alex,
The good news is, we can all agree that this team, as currently constructed, is dog sh-t. Let’s all bond over that 🤷♂️😁
Btw google has started indexing the site. Hopefully soon they’ll have it all but for now only a couple of weeks
craig w
and the future is very bleak
hartford not good. and too many picks traded
We need some Orcs on the roster.
Orcas will f-ck a shark up….
Minx – bite your tongue, this is an Orc free zone.
The Go Time will arrive at 22:20 EDT
And because I know you all love him, Howden with his 22ndtonight, ENG
Alex, I feel like everyone here, from my years reading and sometimes participating, seems very much wanting Rangers success and being pissed about bad moves and losing. You seem, from what i can tell, to be very much the same. I mean this in all sincerity, why do you want to be banned vs just not commenting/ reading? I truly understand where the difference lies. Thanks
jp
now that bo has an accomplice or 2 it’s the only way.
because once banned i will stay far from this cesspool. bo is given carte blanche to annoy over and over and over again.
if this was twitter i’d block bo and would have years ago. that option does not exist here
