    Thatโ€™s a Panarin goal with a nice Strome finish, but thereโ€™s some Fast on that goal for those who canโ€™t stand him on top lines. No assist and key to the turnover. The Rangers wonโ€™t be good until heโ€™s on the 4th or gone, but the guy does his job.

    They are so bad in their own end they need to get about 5 to have a chance to win against any decent team. It is really depressing to watch. Headed to 40 +SOGs again. Not anyway to be a good team.

    Strome is not a girl scout either, though…

  67. EvBreadriser Avatar

    That was a nut shot. Didn’t someone get suspended for doing that to Crosby?

  68. 4everanger Avatar

    BTW, would be nice is someone else could score beside usual suspects – bona fide scorers.

    Another 20 SOG period. Of course the Rangers had 19. Not much time spent in the neutral zone in that period. BTW they will miss Kreider after the trade deadline.

    Never ceases to amaze me….game is on the line and 18 is on the ice….????
    You can set your watch to the ensuing disaster….and bingo Maple Leaf goal with 51 tics left.
    And because the coaches are really smart……I could swear I saw 18 out there to start the ot or perhaps it was like a bad acid flashback. And like I have said before and so many others have as well….where would they be without Panerin and Zibanajad?
    And do you guys really still want to trade Strome? I get that he benefits from Panerin…sure….but put Howden there for example and the results will not be the same. Strome can shoot the biscuit and maybe just maybe he is finally being that first round draft pick he was supposed to be?

    It is still a puzzlement to me as to why Shattenkirk was bought out and
    18. What is it about Staal that the Rangers see that we are blind to?
    The guy is done….they couldn’t give this guy away to the local Goodwill.

  147. EvBreadriser Avatar

    The hate against Staal is ridiculous on here.

  148. EvBreadriser Avatar

    ORF, you’re wrong. They’re aren’t a few teams that let up more shots a game than the Rangers, there’s only the one you mentioned: Chicago.

  149. EvBreadriser Avatar

    Chicago gives up about one shot per game more than us and we give up 2 more shots per game than the next team.
    The next team, by the way, is the Avalanche. Guess it’s not as important a stat ๐Ÿคท๐Ÿปโ€โ™‚๏ธ

    The Shatty signing was the mistake not the buyout. The buyout is in lieu of a similar salary on next years cap (not in addition to). You probably know that and most do as well.

    I just really dislike that signing. The gift that keeps on giving.

    #18 sent out there late not that he can defend or win an important wall battle, or hit net with a puck, but because his non-physicality guarantees no penalties.
