Decided to be first, sorry 4ever. Maybe I’ll bring some luck?😀
NEW YORK RANGERS ARE IN DA HOUWSEEE!!!!
Wtg Ilb!!!
Goat should be playing and Howden sitting. And Quinn again screwing around with the lineup. He’s like a kid with ADD or something.
IT IS TIMEEEEE !!!! Go time.that is… soooooo keep the dishes in the sink and put the kids to bed …ITS HACKEY TONIGHT!!!!! So letsss gogogogogogogogogogo!!!!
LETS GO RANGERS.LETS GO
LETS DO THIS!!!
Lets go lets go lets go lets go
Apparently my projected lineup is wrong. Miller is still out, Johnson in. Georgiev in net.
Fixed!
Johnson in? Oh that defense is going to be really something.
Oh god. Can we go with ILB’s lineup? Please ?
I almost said we have a chance tonight. Oh well thanks ilb for shooting that down.
Quinn doesn’t even have the balls to put Panarin and Zibanejad together. Throw Kreider on the right. Make a statement. But no the team is okay. They have scored 4 goals in 4 games… “they’ll get it going”
It will be 1 zip before they drop the puck the 2nd time.
Over under on the Rangers scoring twice tonight?
The Rangers could find a way to lose a shut-out.
Won’t matter because they will give up at least 4
So Gauthier scores a goal, gets a little confidence, takes the puck to the net repeatedly so is rewarded with another game in street clothes. Added to the fact that the Rangers will ice exactly one competent defense pair tonight and I am not optimistic about the outcome.
How is it Howden always dresses? Is it because he’s such a great player? This kid does very little out their. I don’t get it.
If they don’t come out with jump ready to play….Quinn should be fired before the start of the second period.
“We are gathered here today, to watch………”
Is it too early for the eulogy?
Joe on Krakko “The only thing he hasn’t done is score” really Joe?
During the last game I was going on about Howden and they he made a great play to set up a goal. One play does not a player make,but maybe it is the start of something better.
If he was competent that would be an improvement.
Rich, we have no other centers. If Howden was a wing he’d have splinters in his butt by now.
We’ve got a new player, Eli? 🤣
We’ve already won a faceoff!
You can tell they have the jump in this one by the way they jumped on that puck that Hart couldn’t cover.
They what…?
Here we go….
Gonna be a great night! Ugh.
Add Fox to the own goal list
Already!!!!! Really? Great start.
They better start playing….I have books to read otherwise.
That didn’t take long. We suck again!
Hey I was pretty close?
When you go to the net the pucks go in. Rangers never do that.
Expecting a brawl on the way in locker room after period between Fox & Georgie. Book it.
Next time we have to play a team that’s been off a week with only one practice, the rangers should go into a Covid ward, maskless.
Filthy friend complaining about how many still out on Covid. Asked if that means Gritty getting a start?
Eff your friend, Beezle🤣
The worse it becomes, the better….
Just blow this team up
Jack Johnson stepping up to contribute early.
Reunanen, you idiots.
We have no other defenders to call up besides Johnson?
It doesn’t matter how bad or depleted an opposite teams are, Rangers always find a way how to lose…
Sam just said Hayes helped the Rangers on the way to the finals in 2014. WRONG. He played for them starting in 2014-15 season.
Are they still paying Sam? Time to retire.
Sorry….I’m in an ornery mood.
Zika made zero attempt to get back. Great job there
Now he’s not even hustling
On the goal, Lindgren needs to learn not to go for the 2pt takedown on his own goalie too.
Another no show is possible tonight.
Please e plain what do they see im Johnson that they keep playing?
Kreider lucky didn’t get called for holding
Rangers can’t afford to dump and change anymore. They need to hold onto the puck as much as they can instead of giving the opposition more offensive opportunities.
Isles and Devils are alternative viewing options this evening.
Does Gorton and Gordie Clarke check for hockey sense and guys who want to win not just pass the puck to other team,?
The rangers are the team with the most odd-man rushes against without getting any offense at all to justify that.
Joe…” the Flyers have the edge” No? What a marvelous observation. However, different nights…just substitute different team names.
Give this Blackwell line 25 mins
ORF, I’m just watching this to pass the time until the Blues game is on.
Have these guys practiced yet this season?
It looks like they haven’t worked on anything since camp.
Typical lazy Strome penalty. Sit him and play Goat Boy. Blackwell can play center.
This is unwatchable. And yet, I keep watching..
Stromeo is precipitously losing his value, whatever was left…
Adam Fox is going to play 40 of the 60 minutes tonight.
What the hell happened to this team after they shut the season down last year?
Pick should’ve been out of the zone 3 different times. Nice pass by Georgiev to the other team.
Good news..pizza ready in 3 minutes!
To notch play so far.
Outstanding PK? Stranger thing happens…
I think that was the first wraparound attempt all season.
How our AHL kids are playing? Can we do a total roster replacement/exchange? Heralded Barron, or somthin’, anyone?
So much pessimism here tonight…and it’s 100% justified. This team has been beyond frustrating. Something has to change.
I wonder if Laf and Kakko were playing for any other team would they be tearing it up? You know they would be. If we drafted Crosby he be retired already with a career of 120 goals.
Dah…Tell Dolan about it…
Rangers have not won one fight along the boards. How many penalties have the flyers commited so far without a call.
AV is like a team vulture. He swoops in on teams that are on the precipice of success.
Even other teams fake crowd noise is better than ours.
And then what Ev…he eats them?
Wonder if Hayes makes fun of Kreiders Zappa stache
Le Rangers introducing the new concept: Dump and wait
Oh – and here comes the hottest PP in the league
Can we just take the 2 minutes off the clock?
They missed a high stick. I’m shocked.
Embarrassing…
Micheletti is an idiot
Sam and Joe are completely unaware of whats going on.
Oh….way to go Kreider…..DUMB
Let’s bet they will not score on 5 on 3…
THERE ARE THREE GODDAMN FLYERS IN THE ZONE!!
Nearly 45 seconds of a 5 on 3.
Results: nearly zero zone time and a penalty against.
Nothing left but to laugh…
They really suck. I wish this was the AHL and they were only playing 24 games.
Well if you can’t score you may as well hit the crossbar.
Another scoreless period. Getting to be the norm.
I have a better chance of scoring a ps5 than this team has of scoring a goal!
If they won’t shoot the puck they need to sit. Same for going to the net.
Minx called it
Gotta say these ref’s suck. No way was that a peanalty on Kreider. They have missed at least 6 calls that I have seen. You all know this is going to get worse.
This is looking like a lounge chair shutout for Carter Hart tonight.
The Rangers play with toxic femininity.
Called it TYM.. his .897 sv% had shutting out the Rangers written all over it.🙂
nice 10 second pp shift for kak and laf! honestly why keep throwing Mika out there at the moment?
And Fox needs to be more willing to shoot from the point, but not just a weak wrister
2 offensive zone penalties from our veterans tonight …I say they get the hat trick
Wow mcdavid hit 500 career points already
These ref’s are the worst. Kreider call was not a penalty. There were at least 6 calls they could have made against the flyers. With Bread and Mika not scoring I do not see a posative outcome. Maybe the third and fourth lines will win a game for us. Oh but to dream
Rangers are beyond helpless I am certain right now they are the worst team in the league. But hey Quinn’s hair is pretty!
Just put the twins down for bed…. What’d I miss? Oh…. we still suck? Got it. All caught up!
Someone let Dairy Queen know that you really can get fired for playing your top guys
Quinn fired yet?
Sam said Rangers need to find some offense. I think they have been offensive enough alrrady.
Decline it!
Sometimes all it takes is one score…
Woot
If this kerps up Blackwell is going to want 7 million bucks.
Well there you go. Put guys out who shoot go to net and make defense move good things happen.
Why is Blackwell the best player on our team in any position?
Somebody light Hayes up.
Even Fox kind of catch this mistakes bug…
DQ should only play 3rd and 4th lines. They are the only ones creating chances and capitalizing. Bury PP1.
Mercenary Blackwell doing more for this team than native dwellers. What gives ?
Blackwell – early Steven McDonald award candidate?
wish there was a game i didn’t notice Mika….that would be an improvement!
All aboard the train! Next stop, penalty box!
Mika starting to look like Rico Fata.
Can we get a shorty?
Trade Zibanejad
Make Blackwell captain
Colin Blackbeard be the new captain!!
Is our pk so good because they get so much practice? Really need to stop taking penalties especially the Pouliots
Great shot there, Jackass Johnson…..
Hajac is not smart, that’s for sure. Keep producing eyepopping, stupidest passes in absolutely innocent situations
Why oh why are we back to these guys
What I ‘m afraid of is that is by some miracle Ranger will win, it would prevent or at least postpone so needed changes.
Back to square one on the pp
Ranger pp
Shots
Rangers: zip
Flyers: 1
Man we make some really horrible turn overs
Buch was screaming to Georgie in Russian: “Take it, take it! (about the puck gliding) . Answer back: “Too far, moron!”
This is a pretty awful game. Good thing no one is paying to see it live.
Remind me again why Howden has a roster spot…. Please. Someone. Clue me in why our darling coach has such a rager for him…
“Good job by the Rangers…… Surviving a pressure situation.” Uh…. okay Sam.
What a shameful, panicin havoc in own zone…
Sam just said VanReemsdyke…in deep. Golly….children are listening.
These linesmen think everything is icing. Smh
Slill had to score!!
Craig my brother j0g says because the ones above him are worse
The first exciting moment in the rangers’ season!
I take that back
Buch deserved fat pension. About the time.
LIFT THE PUCK CAPTAIN HAPPY
When was the last time a Ranger scored on a penalty shot during a game – not in a shootout?
Message to Quinn: slide Buch down on the shootout list
Mika is playing now at the level of Honduras girlscout …
Five moves too many by Buch and in the end couldn’t even lift the puck well enough
Buch did waaaaay better being slashed.
I admire those guys – Sam and John. They still find something to laugh about…
Stop with the offensive zone penalties. Please.
When does Strome sit for any of these?
Somebody on his own team, slash Strome
Kakko was slow getting to front for that rebound
ORF, never due to Gorton’s savvy personnel decisions. So many centers, so little reason to draft or acquire any.
I think the sexiest thing so far was “Johnson in the box”.
EV I can see the next practice… Strome at center ice, everyone else lining up to take a good whack at him
I’d rather see Buch pull a Larmer on a penalty shot than whatever the heck it was he did on that one.
I was dying watching this dreck. This game was so boring I unloaded and loaded the dishwasher. I missed a penalty shot but when I saw the replay, I realized I did not miss anything.
Third offensive zone penalty …hat trick completed…maybe someone can tell Stromeo they have been calling slashes on the hand a penalty since 2015
Devils are beating Boston 3-1 after 2. Does that make us look worse or better?
Ranger third period.
Odds on more than 4 shots?
EV they have been awarded 82 penalty shots in team history. Prior to Buch was Gauthier missing on 2/22/20. The last to score was…..Dan Boyle 12/9/15 vs Van
Very hard on the eyes. Filth missing top line players are NYR can’t complete a pass.
Mika needs to sit or something. Loses every 50/50 battle and then behind the play coming back to defend.
ORF to answer your question (and without looking) I believe it was Mike Keane in 2000 against Tampa. Same season he later beheaded Patty Lafontaine and ended his career (they were teammates )
Prior to that was Opie in 2014, Cally and Avery in 2010, Rozsival in 2008 and Shanahan and Ortmeyer in 2007.
Wow way-off. Stepan in 2014.
Keane was 1997 v TBL
WRONG AGAIN! Damn Boyle in 2015 against Vancouver. Haha
Beezle -97 Makes sense. First season without Messier. Good catch.
https://www.hockey-reference.com/teams/NYR/penalty-shots.html
That one ref looks 18 yo and is calling a very tricky tack game both ways.
.
If you had Bitteto on the PP for the next PP goal, you win!
Wow Lindy Ruff had one in 89 against the Nordiques
How’s Strome look to you SN?
Anyone else notice how winning faceoffs doesn’t help us at all, but it only doesn’t hurt us like losing them does?
Wtf was Laf doing there
When was the last season that they rangers relied on hitting the puck carrier to separate him from the puck instead of a flailing poke check?
Again though- Quinn doesn’t even have the balls to play Zibanejad with Panarin. Let alone tell Zika to take a seat.
This could end up uglier than when AV played Girardi on a cracked knee cap for a whole season.
Can we have a coach with some balls?
So msg puts ads on the opponents ice too?
Quinn yelling at Pepe!!! There are a lot of other guys he could yell at….after he yells at the guy in the mirror.
Strome had a good game prior to call against. Once again specialty teams creates a choppy game
*two calls against in offensive zone
All right, I’ll play along, but I already know how this match ends.
Notice how much closer to the net the shots are when Blackwell and Rooney are out there
Johnson and The Goat look alike, so Q benches whichever one crosses his mind first.
Woot woot
Wedding Crasher on the crease!!
Better beer me!
Smitty? Who wooda thought? HE STOPPED AT THE NET! Well, howdoyado?
When do the floodgates open?
Lol….DQ made some type of devil deal between periods
Smitty! ..not a smart play by Hart there but take it
Good for smith. Good effort
Great job by Panarin. But there are two other forwards there. Why was Brendan Smith the beneficiary of that one?
Everyone, but the prime scorers…Ziba, like an odd man on ice. Kreid – redundant also.
Had his cake and ate it too
Smitty gets confused sometimes and goes back to playing wing EV
Great defensive okay by Smith! He’s a monster tonight.
Such a fugly hockey game – AHL quality
*play
Rangers never took the body consistently like this when AV was their coach.
IDK… Maybe we should move Smith back to wing…BDL would snap though
Bread needs to shoot there. No futzing around
I think that was the quickest whistle I’ve ever seen.
James said ate it
Smith may not be a great defender but the guy does play hard.
All this just create the false sense of wininghood…
TYM, they still rely on the poke check for the most part. Trouba is the only one that hits consistently in that situation.
When Smith/Bitetto/Blackwell are your three stars, ….um…
That was a slash that shattered that stick.
No matter of outcome – Stop the agony – we want CHANGES!
Beezle said hard
Not that it’s been perfect by any stretch but seems they’re moving their legs in the 3rd. Why couldn’t they do that earlier?
Jack’s Johnson will get the empty netter
Good goal
Who would have any doubts of this?
Georgiev smh
Lindgren has to stop diving in the crease
No comment….oh all right..ughhhhhh. Unbelivable
That’s a good goal. EFF Georgie.
Play for the point?
Anybody surprised?
We’re gonna lose again. Whether it’s regulation or later.
Face off loss and give up control for a minute coming up?
