Panarin SUCKS tonight.
With already nothing to lose, including their pride, why wouldn’t Rangers try, just try to play different game, like total offence, intense body checks on a brink of fault, couple fights – just for a taste of it. Maybe they will like it…
Play for the pick!
Commie-rov = McDavid
I got news for you boys Panarin knows there’s no chance it looks like he is just throwing in the towel
Good night boys I’ve seen more than enough.
If they don’t put Morgan Barron in after Saturday’s loss to this same team, the game need to start shoutng for Quinn to be fired.
Jets got a helluva QB
Remains to be seen Wicky. I’m an optimist, but also been a Jets fan long enough.
I wish the isles would score some more so I can feel good about shutting this off
Lost kids with daddy out in a woods…
This is really dreadful. Varlamov could be sitting in a lounge chair.
After varlamov finishes off this shutout, half of his then 6 shutouts will be against one team…..
The Rangers are eliminated every way but mathematically. And I failed math so many times I can’t count.
Wick that’s what was said aboot Sam D. Arnold
Putrid effort.
Brilliant coaching though.
That Quinn…he’s a genuis.
He’s discovered a new theory of relativity. The Rangers relativelt suck when they play the Islanders.
The Rangers have 17 hits according to the game stats. Someone needs to be fired.
Big game
Small effort
No way to honor PO McDonald
I’m watching water boil. More exciting than our sexy boys …
The way Vally is talking maybe he should be the coach. He seems to understand that really difficult concept….screen the goalie….not your own goalie that is.
Valley cat a tad angry. Make him coach!
Wait’ll next year….
Headzo, if I remember correctly, they usually don’t rise to the occasion on the McDonald award night. At least the last 2 seasons anyway.
I’m sick of other teams winning the cup. Being a Ranger fan is akin to be a Cleveland Indians fan.
I always thought about becoming a witch, so I tried that for a spell.
Wicky
Didn’t you want Wilson coming to ny
Unfortunately wrong sport
Minx see what happens when you watch with us?
Headzo
I said nothing about darnold.
Bring Hartley here
Rich, you’re sick of other teams winning the cup? I’m sick of other teams making the playoffs.
Headzo
You are incorrect, the only nfl New York team QB I’ve ever said anything about was Danny dimes for the giants, and I said he wasn’t as bad as everyone was acting when he was picked.
Maybe next year, we defect to the KHL….. we could totally win the Gagarin cup….
Ev….lol
I’ll probably be at Universal for the last 2 Ranger games. They won’t be missed.
Craig….can Sam and Joe speak Russian?
They don’t do English with any proficiency.
I’m not watching the game for the game anymore….instead it is now all about the delicious sarcasm
Craig
That league can be a bit rough like the ahl, luckily the talent is the same as the ahl so the rangers should win some of their games there 😉
We’ve scored 4 goals against varlamov in 14 periods. Not really expecting anything here.
Wick – I was just thinking back to when darnold was picked originally. Nothing specific by you. I can barely keep my hockey straight let alone nfl!
I hate this team because of I was playing I’d beat the piss out of Martin at least.
These morons keep making 18 passes before it’s too late to shoot… I don’t get it!!!
Headzo
Iirc bdl was livid with the Danny dimes pick lol
Micheletti says that Howden and Cheadle have been the better players like that’s a good thing. That means you’re losing, idiot🤷🏻♂️
That’s gotta hurt
Ouch
Great. The first actual attempted hit ends in a concussion because of a really lousy hit and place to do it.
Wahlstrom looks big out there
The refs should stop this game before the Rangers get brain damaged.
Damn – didn’t want him getting a scar that way
Hopefully not Sauered
When is hetero pride night?
Pass around the perimeter….. pass around the perimeter…….. What a bunch of gutless softies…..
New York Rangers Sign Lauri Pajuniemi to ELC
The Finnish winger was drafted 132nd overall by the Rangers in 2018
Almost at 300 comments and have barely started the third period. We must be losing.
Admiral….it’s not the # of comments so much but the nature of the comments.
A game of this magnitude…you would think someone would show up……BUT NOOOOOOO
Only the softy rangers would sign a guy named Lauri.
It’s funny how the Fishsticks keep finding Ranger-killers to play goal. Halak, now Varlamov
Quinn is a goner.
Did Gettleman move to the 49ers?
Pull the goalie!
PB…..lets hope
When the Rangers are losing, there are more comments about the number of comments.
This is absolutely insufferable.
Rangers sign Hilary Knight.
So no AHL playoffs
Down 3-zip, first 12 of the last 20 minutes what should you be doing? Not taking enough shots that even if they all went in, you couldn’t even tie it. That’s what I’d do too!
Rangers sign Adam Banks.
Now they are just abusing the Rangers adding insult to injury. Totally pathetic….pitiful…nauseating.
Makes me want to hit someone…which brings the thought…why don’t the Rangers hit someone. Mr.Softies
Islanders are dirty team. In the old days, they would of had to fight a lot more than they do now.
Are we missing Pepe yet?
Quinn’s going nowhere until MAYBE the end of next season…. who are we kidding… This is a damn disgrace to watch. Trade Zibanejad and buch…. please…. get a nice haul for them for some “playable toughness.”
If it wasn’t for varlamov and Halak, the rangers would never be shutout.
Bring up Geertsen, Barron, and play Gauthier.
Sam mentioned comback? Do they have peyote in the pressbox?
Martin kills penalties??
I don’t think the Rangers have scored a single time this season with 6 guys on the ice.
These idiots pass the puck around like they have the lead……
Screw this garbage team. See everyone next year. I’m out.
JD used to talk a lot about toughness and seemed enamored by size when he was an announcer. Let’s he him practice what he preached and mandate Gorton to end this Smurf ice capades.
Akbar
It’s a trap
Say goodnight Gracie
He’s a sorcerer, that Varlamov. He reads the thoughts in the Rangers brain’s.
Well.
We can only hope management has been taking notes and will make some changes this summer.
This was a fun team to watch, lots to be hopeful for, but still MUCH work to be done.
Total humbling of the Rangers.
Absolutely humiliating.
This is just conjecture here…but I’m wondering do you guys think perhaps the way Quinn wears his mask has led to too high an amount of co2 to his brain? Legitimate question? No?
This is my last game of the season. Ain’t wasting anymore time watching this sh*t parade. No, thanks.
Cowgirls on clock, Gettleman head scratcher on deck
Admiral,
It was all a mirage.
Once the ice shrinks, so do these ballerinas on ice.
You can thank your GM/Scouting dept for that.
This What do you do nyc questions are beyond stupid. Example how do we improve tourism…..ummmm open things up morons.
https://media2.giphy.com/media/Ps8XflhsT5EVa/giphy.gif
Gmen should grab one of those OTs, just leave one for Raiders
So guess Igor isn’t young Hank?
https://media0.giphy.com/media/QHmYUsR9786AoYLz5N/source.gif
Nuff said!
Oooh Cowgirls traded pick to Eagles?
Predictable end to a stoopid season.
I miss Hank 🙁
What a bunch of cream puffs… Let’s bring over a few more east-west softies from over the pond….. That seems to be going real well for us……
At the rate of injury attrition this evening they are going to have to get some guys or girls off the street fir the next game.
On to Chicago and no hope there, either.
Hopefully parsons falls to raiders
Cowgirls got a 3rd for moving down two
Well that really damaged my olfactory senses.
Hope is NOT a plan!!
Bears moving up 9, what’d it cost them?
Stink Salute Mama.
Give Meeka 8×10. What a POS
Olga
I like it
Gettleman moved down to 20? Better have gotten more than a third after letting cowgirls enable eagles to pick off your guy
The Not Ready for Prime Time Players
Gettleman is a dinosaur -= Mara always waits too long to get rid of bad GMs
I can deal…as I know many of you can…but this lack of efgort thing that we have seen way too much since the Carolina series…come on man.
This is completely on the coach…he obviously does not have them prepared to compete. Does he ever address these issues? Does he ever address their lack of efgort at the face off circle? Does he ever address this ice capades passing the puck show? The answer is obvious…NO he does not….or they have completely tuned him out. Either way…it’s time for a coaching change….I think there will be some viable options available. At this rate almost anyone would be a better choice than block head.
Mika, Buch, Chytil….. They ALL need to go. It’s that simple. All 3 = Petr Nedved soft….. Great when they have room…. Suck when they don’t. And honestly, Panarin seems to disappear during these big, tightly contested games too… and that’s worrying.
Hope the Bears suck next year. 5th this year and 1st and 4th next
I meant to say I can deal with losing…but not the lack of effort. I just fired my editor.
Geez…. John Burgandy over there….
Rich they passed and twirled as much if not more with AV
EXTRA EFF-IT !!!
Holy smokes Giants have no 2nd , 3rd, or 4th round pick this year. Lol
Damnit, there went parsons
Heard there may be a great punter at 20
Craig – your 9:47 +1,000,000,000
All three need to go. Too soft. Too weak. Too unwilling to engage….
I turned it off after the first goal. They brought nothing tonight and Shesty didn’t save their a$$ this time. So they are about where we thought they would be. A bubble team. But as Carp would say this was an onions game and that appears to be a department in which they are severely lacking. Even if they had made it into the playoffs it would have been a repeat of the debacle in the bubble.
Wicky how’s the Black Hole draft party?
The team in 2018 and 19 and maybe even 20 had more onions than this team.
Beeze – your research is incorrect. Gmen have picks in those rounds….
None of the top six besides maybe Strome showed up tonight. Disappointed in Bread. These are the games you’re expected to do something magical and earn that big check..
Doh E3 you right…I was on their trade page, my bad!
Cheadle and Buch should bring back a good 2C. Add Mika and those three should bring a good 1C + a forward
Pats going to take Wickys next guy. Jets move up!?!
Chytil needs a little roid rage in his life; way too happy out there, life a big puppy; need to get some bark.
and bite!
Beeze – I once had a 20 + page solution have an error that I couldn’t find for weeks – 3 times 2 = 5 was it….
Pats take Jones? Trask is better
SN – Cheadle, sadly, is a pu$$y….
Jets take tackle?
smart pick for Jets
“Give Meeka 8×10. What a POS”
What about Panarin? I love the kid but big game and he is nowhere to be found again…
Beezle
Raider party going great…waiting for the big reach at 17
Guard
Jets gave up two thirds next year? Bears paid dearly
And none of the guys I want that wouldn’t be a reach in the first round are gone so I’m worried lol
Theres a big OSU OL still available
Beezle
They need to trade back
Goodall wants to bang one of these first round picks….disgusting…
Hopefully nyg don’t take one of these wr ponies. 5’9″? Seriously?
No shortage of eye candy in the Mac Jones cubicle
The OK St OT would be nice
last 2 drafts; 5 picks = 2 pros
well..they took an OT…of course, Gruden with the reach
Knew he’d reach, knew it..trade the f back if that’s who you want.
It’s not sh*tty enough the Rangers season basically ended tonight, now I gotta scroll through foosball posts? Oh, da pain!
Cccp
You’re the nfl guru here
Raiders using rangers asset management
Bdl
You ready?
Gettleman – oy
Seriously?
Did JD come in here to knock back Margaritas and pad his retirement fund? ANYBODY can inherit a mediiocre management team. Show us how smart you are – get going and pick your own.
Would have taken defense over this guy
Rangers are fully of too much sugar sweetness not enough onions…
Raiders Twitter is not happy
Do they do psych profiles in hockey?
E3 – they are softer than a mashed potato sandwich
That was a guy nyg should have taken if not doing ol
Everybody caught diabetes from Kakko. Sweetie Pie Team.
Might as well keep injured guys out
And bring up G to at least give us a pound of flesh
Looking at you Martin
Meaningless games though from here out
Onions game but they have no onions
Wicky
Do you watch big sky
Set in Montana
Crazy off the wall show
One of the leads is drop dead gorgeous
So….to be clear the Rangers have demonstrated that they have no intestines and no fortitude.
Are we ready to pay Mika 9.5mil per to have a 32% faceoff percentage?
When we no longer have Smith on D exactly who is gonna be the one that takes a Licken’ from these pests?
I guess lindgren but he’s a bit undersized
Zach Jones is nice player but redundant with Fox and is a smurf.
It has been noted on this blog by many of you that you believe Larry Brooks reads this blog and poaches from it. I just read his article that he wrote after tonights game….and the evidence is clear to me…he reads and poaches from all of us.
Alex
Haven’t watched it.
Have watched all of Yellowstone so far and love it.
