Game 63 Rangers at Sens

[Stepupstepan]

Will see who Drury trades tomorrow.

 

[Ranger71]

They should get something for Quick.

 

[Greyvtrayn]

Pivotal game. Hate the Satruday matinee games...Rangers rarely play well.

 

[NYR_94]

If the Rangers want to make the playoffs, this is a huge game. A loss and they'll be 2 behind the Sens and the Sens would have a game in hand. Then on Sunday they host CBJ at MSG.

Really big weekend coming up against the two teams that currently are sitting in the WC spots, just ahead of the Rangers. If they lose both, stick a fork in them, have to win at least one, and how nice would it be to see them win both.

Huge weekend!!!

Where’s Kreider been? Injured again?

 

[NYR_94]

Yes, on IR. They have been saying day-to-day for a week or so now. He is eligible to return whenever he is ready, but hopefully that happens with another team.

 

[NYR_94]

Lost in all the trade DL stuff, this is a huge game for the Rangers. If they lose it won't be easy to finish ahead of the Sens. Super important game.

This is the nut up of shut up game and sadly it’s AFTER the deadline. If they lose this one then when you look at the teams they’ve beaten since January 1, you start to see that we are beating the crap teams, but losing to playoff teams. The point against Washington was nice, but further proved that we aren’t good enough and should’ve been sellers. Is what it is now as we are stuck with what we got until summer, but if we want to try and show we “belong” this game is huge

 

[NYR_94]

100% agreed, and of course the Rangers aren't good enough and should have been sellers. Is what it is at this point, so might as well enjoy and hope for the best.

Drury will be on the clock again in July, maybe the 10th time is the charm, and he'll finally realize some of the core guys (Pan/Kreider/Ziban/K. Miller/Fox) need to go, I doubt it, but one can hope.

The D next year is set: Soucy/Fox, Miller/Borgen, Urho/Schneider - maybe they flip Soucy and Miller, but that's the 6, so get used to it. I was reading Soucy is viewed as a top 4 dman, which he really isn't, no surprise this was the plan, but so be it.

 

[Stepupstepan]

Yes let’s scratch one of the younger energetic players in favor of the vet. Kreider can barely move.

 

[Stepupstepan]

And Othmann. Get this kid a skating coach for god’s sake

 

[Stepupstepan]

Maybe some team will take a chance on Zibanadouche next year. He has looked better at right wing

 

[Stepupstepan]

Why does guy always gives up soft goals pretty much every single game

 

[mrmel29]

That was a ridiculous deflection by Brady!

 

[Stepupstepan]

This team does everything at a half speed. Just take the fucking shot. Why is it so hard

 

[Stepupstepan]

Too many men penalty? Is this some kind of a record in one season

 

[Stepupstepan]

Igor has been good in this game. Just be consistent

 

[Greyvtrayn]

Need the extra point here.

 

[Greyvtrayn]

Nice fucking pass Miller...FFS.

 

[NYR_94]

If you tried to draw up a way you'd expect the Rangers to blow it and lose, that was it. Once again not complicated, until they learn how to take the body, be responsible, and stop turning the mother f'ing puck over in their own zone, this team will never EVER EVER EVER win a Cup. All 3 of the Sens comeback goals were sloppy plays in their own zone and absolutely being allergic to taking the body.

 

[Stepupstepan]

Drury should’ve signed Shestekin to 13 million because why not. He will only allow 4 goals a game instead of another less expensive goalie

 

[Rangers94]

That summed up this season perfectly. Losing a very winnable game because of stupid plays by incompetent players. Should’ve been sellers. Team is majorly in trouble with this coach and this core.

Laf has turned into a useless POS with no balls since he got paid

 

[Greyvtrayn]

Fuck Laviolette for ducking the two many men on the ice penalty question...what a piece of shit.

Laf has turned into a useless POS with no balls since he got paid

Very frustrating seeing how dangerous Stutzle - third overall that year - was all game. And has been all season. If Laf had even half that guy's drive and creativity we would be in a much better position.

Fuck Laviolette for ducking the two many men on the ice penalty question...what a piece of shit.

That was brutal. "Better execution" - try "better coaching.

 

[Stepupstepan]

I still don’t get it why he inserted Kreider and scratched Berard who would provide more than CK. What does this new Finnish kid do well? Some weird ass decisions

 

[Stepupstepan]

Again Drury thinks he is the smartest guy in the room. Maybe wait and see how he does this season and then try to resign him? I think Laf will be a nice complimentary player but it does look like he is not going to drive his lines or the team. It’s just who he is at this point.

 

[Ranger71]

These last 2 losses to Ottawa will probably be the difference between getting in or not. At MSG they had a pp tied with 2 min left and lose with 20 secs to go, and then today a chance for 2 clean points. Too much boneheaded stuff for one year.
