Rangers were too relaxed on their imaginary superiority, with those lazy, negligent passes and habitual inability to use scoring opportunities. Shooting in collective foot.
Horrible. Not sure why the team thought it was a good idea to celebrate Tuesday’s Florida win by going out with the Giants wide receivers on a party boat in Miami last night! 😉 The upper body injury for Nash is obviously just a helluva hangover!
The Rangers got a bit lazy there. Giveaway by Hayes.. goal. Giveaway by Buch….. goal. Not very strong D either. i hope they get their shir together between periods.

Except that it wasn’t a great shot.

Thanks Nhl for not making sense as usual and screwing the Rangers. Just wanted to let you know we appreciate it.

The only thing more predictable than this loss would have been the same matchup at MSG. Possibly the least important loss in Rangers history, but let the fun begin: no way they go anywhere in the playoffs after this showing, etc.
also, this league continues to embarrass themselves with the officiating.
St Pete Eli
This team just can’t get it done when it really matters. Pathetic! I’m not sure Stepan could score if he was the only one on the ice. They came out in the 3rd like they just finished a Thanksgiving dinner!
And when he plays with Staal, he may as well play alone.
St Pete Eli
This cotton candy team just doesn’t have it. They will be embarrassed in the 1st round “book it”. Well there’s always next year. 1 cup in 78 years truly a proud organization!
someone called them puddin’ soft, maybe their sweaters should say TAPIOCA diagonally down the front
St Pete Eli
Next embarrassment on to the red wings.
Norm Merton
This team just can’t get it done when it really matters? Um, this was not a prime example of a time when it really matters, was it? No need for points, best two players sidelined, and they still did OK with the likes of Kampfer, Puempel, Pirri, Glass. 4 of 6 points on the southern swing–take it.
Well, I, for one, prefer a sober assessment at the end of each workday to a romanticized, sentimental Wordsworthian sonnet. But that’s me.
St Pete Eli
I’m referring to the lack of effort starting the 3rd period not game 7 of a conference final.
St Pete Eli
Sorry Norm forgot to add your name to the last post. Add yes probably a bit of an over reaction on my part. But championship teams consistently beat bottom dwellers and that takes hard work for 60 min.

Shockers… NHL officials Sh%$t the bed again and the Rangers are one of the worst teams in the league after a loss … 3rd game in 4 nights and down a bunch of players in a meaningless game..they just need to focus on getting healthy, resting guys down the stretch and getting powerplay going.

Good morning, boneheads!
The sky is falling? Are the Islanders catching up? 🙂
The best thing about last night’s is Zibanejad may be heating up, finally. They need him to get going for the playoffs.
Is this the year when Kreider scores 30?
ilb2001
Awful call, I agree. It wasn’t just a bump, his mask almost came off. No way he could see that shot. They would’ve lost anyway, too many brain cramps. Let them all heal
Beezle
I’m so glad I reserved my spot on the ledge early yesterday morning! Going to be crowded here for the next few days…
They really need to take the replay call out of the hands of the on ice zebras. As noted in the post, they are working on tiny screens in a charged environment. At least let somebody with a big monitor/tv and no screaming fans make the call. Refs wear big boy pants, they can take being over ruled now and then.
Tanner was almost the hero again but failed to jam that puck in. Don’t know whats wrong with Opie. Maybe he’s just not getting any
Bdl
The Panther fan really enjoys it when the Rangers lose.
Has anybody seen Zuccarello? He was last seen around November 16th.

Sorry, 4ever.
At least Hayes had the good sense to bleed.
Loddablud
Rangers PP: Same personnel? Yup.
Repost: Carp, I’m surprised last game nobody constantly brought up that Brendan Smith and Reilly Smith were brothers.
4 minutes of no goals.
First!
Staals!
I think the plan on this pp is to keep passing it to Stepan until he finally scores.
I think they mentioned it on TV
Eh, I didn’t get that feed. I taped the Florida feed though so I could see myself on tv after the game. Lmao
Shorthanded goal here.
wow!!! Lundqvist and Nash out tonight due to injuries, apparently Nash’s injury is a on going issue, great, more injuries, this team is falling apart.
5 on 3. No excuses for no PPG here.
E.m.b.a.r.r.a.s.s.i.n.g.
Jambalaya!
LGR!
just got the game on.. what was that delay all about?
Flipping Finally
Funny. They did the same stupid shot from the circle that they use on the 5 on 4.
took a 5 on 3 for the rangers to finally get a power play goal.
Hopefully they’ll gain some confidence from that but it doesn’t look like it so far. Ugh.
Aho has some wheels
Yes! Good feed by Stepan.
i was about to say, too much passing with 5 on 3. Score on rebounds.
wow!! Shjei looked like he was skating in slow motion, my goodness.
Geezus Skjei.
You say Aho, I say uh -oh
Skjei was beat wide there.
More than a little woof on the Buch there.
Their passing is atrocious so far.
Canes look lethargic. Need to bank these 2 pts and move on
rangers passing is a little lethargic.
Kampfer just stood up a guy at the blue line, which is obviously weird.
They need to stop with the fancy no-look passes and just directly pass it to a Carolina player. It’d be easier on everyone.
For whatever reason, the rangers always have problems with the Hurricanes on the road.
💩
Fantastic defense.
Kampfer had a nice view of that goal…
1st NHL game – why of course!
💩💩
Staal should retire after that goal – embarrasing
This is embarrassing. Lack. Luster.
Horr. Ible.
Great play in our zone.
Well we were due. It’s been a while since we gave up 2 quick goals like we used to do all the time.
too many Rangers fans. They think this is a home game.
The Rangers desperately need these two poi… Never mind: tryouts for Puempel, Glass, Kampfer, not much else on the line.
Black Hawks – Anaheim at 8:30
as soon as I say how the rangers have trouble against the canes on the road they score 2 goals.
Staal is pathetic and he’s not the only one.
This period can’t end soon enough.
Tomb, it worked just fine in South Florida though.
SalmonJoe extolling Step who hasn’t scored in eleven years.
So if you take Lundqvist’s healthy upper body and put on healthy Nash’s lower body, you can get a decent hybrid player.
You can call it – Forwalie.
These guys are passing almost as bad as c3po in nhl 17.
Rangers were too relaxed on their imaginary superiority, with those lazy, negligent passes and habitual inability to use scoring opportunities. Shooting in collective foot.
A good 19:31.
Ward isn’t necessarily outplaying Raanta but he is outplaying the defense.
Maybe 2:00 Olga.
Screw the Hawks!
What he said.
I know nothing is official until the sportswriters vote on it but I think it’s safe to say that this years team is the worst passing team of all time
Hawk the Screws!

2 PPG’s? WUT?

They’re gonna shoot their load on the pp tonight and not score for another 10 or so games.
Nice!
Ooh ooh that sweet,sweet power play. : )

After his breakaway goal on Tuesday, that move by Hayes was pathetic.
Reading McD’s lips it looked like he said “don’t worry about it.” Someone on the ice must have said something about them failing to set up Step.

Step must be hearing Sam Rosen’s voice on loop, “and this one will last a lifetime.”

Yahtzee!
God, Ward is bad.
I was about to say skjei is taking over for Lindberg but….
You said it’s not your night, kid.
I guess that was their good period.
Good period?
blaming Ward for a clean one timer from between the dots?
Can you imagine living in Raleigh, NC? Hurricane season tickets and the VFW bar.
Check the replay, SN–no focus at all, right through him. And, yes, an awful defensive play and a good pick by Mika.
2004BCE…..”I don’t know Noah, it’s sunny out today and these animals stink..Can you open the window?”
tangled up in blue
You can’t blame Ward for that. That’s like blaming a goaltender for a great shot in the shootout.
And that’s more the goalie’s fault.

Norm, it didn’t have to be.
I think Staal has been listening to mich’s commentary and thinks he’s playing well.
How did this Carolina team manage to amass 62 points?
Jeff Skinner……”I miss Dan Girardi. When is he coming back?”
Take this D and shove it!
Stepan’s getting desperate. He’s taking shots from center ice.
Maybe Prust could wake him up.
At least Raanta’s sp is going up…. Smh
Challenge
AV risking his timeout
Aho is pretty good
Auntie leaned in but I’ll take it if we get it.
Hit him in the mask. That should be reversed, so it won’t be.
No petting rule?
This one the referee’s call. No way they overturn the call they made.
It shouldn’t be s goal but as a readers fan we know better.
Unfair of AV using the challenge to rest his players
AV has to support Raanta there.
*Rangers. And there ya go. Bullsh!t.
They need to slow these games down more…
Hey – ya never know
Guy’s outside the blue, not much to complain about.
We didn’t so now that makes it bogus.
The penalty was not a good one for Holden…says Capt Obvious
There are bad referees, horrible referees and than there are NHL referees…
Yep. He hit his elbow with his face. Can’t do that. Smh
If Raanta was a Rock ’em Sock ’em Robot it would be irrefutable
Tired legs out there
They’re falling apart in their own zone.
Hopefully Raanta won’t hit any hurricanes with his face one this pp.
So if your face is outside the crease, the goalie is outside the crease? Isn’t that the opposite of the “foot in the air” offside challenge?
uh-oh Aho
That was horrible penalty killing….again.
Told ya they played their good period already.
That Sebastian’s a real aho
What a horror show… poor Rwanda.
Really can’t blame this defense on Kamfer, maybe ether however
Plenty of Time.
Rwanda = Raanta. lol
Tied for 26th in the league….gonna beat us…
2 losses to crapolina this year….
Pass it, Stepan! You suck!
Can’t buy a goal.
Glass with the moves!
For tonight’s press conference, I wish Torts was still Rangers coach. That would have been fun.
We need a Zika hat trick. About size 2 1/8th…
Hayes with the moron move to end the game…
Haze back pass in Ozone…fail
Hayes with a drop pass with 6 seconds to go. Idiot.
Thanks Nhl for not making sense as usual and screwing the Rangers. Just wanted to let you know we appreciate it.

Derp
Garbage
Carolina. Need I say more?
Plenty of nothin’.
No excuse for losing to that club.
Well, it’s official, we stink again.
Can’t win ’em all. On to Chicago, yada yada yada…
Sam said Carolina won 1 game of the 4 between the 2 teams. He apparently doesn’t know how numbers work.
Zika, no star. Home ice advantage for ya.
like I said earlier, rangers always struggle against this team in carolina.
Chi 0 Anaheim 0 start of 2nd.
also, this league continues to embarrass themselves with the officiating.
This team just can’t get it done when it really matters. Pathetic! I’m not sure Stepan could score if he was the only one on the ice. They came out in the 3rd like they just finished a Thanksgiving dinner!
Captain Dave must be pissed.
Like I said…one good period a game. I saw this coming.
Except when I’m at the game anyway.
Best team away from home can’t beat the 26th best team in the league that had lost 5 of the last 6 at home. That’s a head scratcher.
Please enough with the black hawks!
No way McD should have to play 28:31 against Carolina at this point in the season, even if 4:38 is on the PP.
And when he plays with Staal, he may as well play alone.
This cotton candy team just doesn’t have it. They will be embarrassed in the 1st round “book it”. Well there’s always next year. 1 cup in 78 years truly a proud organization!
21-3 before tonight, tommy
someone called them puddin’ soft, maybe their sweaters should say TAPIOCA diagonally down the front
