still have no clue what happened in the cup finals, all i know is we got there and as a fan very disappointed with the play...

so, with that said, what were we missing in the cup finals, and what has this org done so that this year we win it?
 
They take game one or two in OT and it's a different series. Thems the brakes. The Kings had players come up big and the Rangers didn't.
 
Come on Pasta of all the things to get on the rangers for this is not one of them. What they need to do better is convert a breakaway or great chance and score in the finals OT before their opponent next time. I take getting to the finals again and taking my chances we get it right this time.

very! and not for 1 minute should any ranger fan feel we had a chance. no matter what the rangers would have done LA would have topped it. yes LA was that good! i want to know what this org. learned from that series, and what they did to better team?

Three OT games in LA was the Kings plan?
 
give me a break, LA beat teams in west to get to cup 10x's better then the rangers were in '14, weren't they down 3 games to anaheim? u think the rangers who got spanked by the ducks were better? again, i ask what did the rangers do in the off season to better the team?

Shocking, is the one who was BROKEN!!!!!!!!!!!! hahahahahah
 
First year coach with a new system and a roster suited to Tortoiserella's style but they still go to the Cup. Thanks to a few huge calls by the extra men wearing Kings colors the Kings eke out a couple of close wins.

As far as weaknesses, losing Stralman and getting Boyle on defense is a huge upgrade, Anton blows. Losing Bra Richars lack of d and physicality with average offensive output for the top dollars paid and replacing him with MSL is also an upgrade. I think Tanner Glass will quickly grow to be a fan favorite when he's wallpapering opponents to the boards and addressing another weakness of last year's team - physical play.

don't know how you can say stralman was the "weakness", when everyone was saying he was the only brite lite on D in finals, mcd nowhere 2b found! and as far as getting boyle, the man is old, why wouldn't some younger studs not want to join a team that got to finals, that to me is baffling...
 
You asked a question and I gave a few examples of what I think the Rangers did to improve the team and apparently that's not acceptable. Fair enough Pasta but if you need someone on this board to give you a reason to root for the Rangers because last years Cup run was disappointing f off and buy a Kings jersey already.
 
don't think the question i asked warranted a F off response, but what else is new on here..

still whinning about calls. LOL

stralman, played himself into a good contract, and you call him a weakness, ok! where was y'alls boy wonder staal during the series, and girardi, good lord !! even mcdonagh disappointed big time...

i expected this org to pick up at least 3 tough guys to get the job done, instead we get tanner made of glass and dan i got boyles... and , what other household names did we get??? come on man!
 
Because there's a salary cap, you have to get players you can afford who are available and young studs as you put it aren't just given away.
 
edited for personal attack. Off topic and was directed at a poster. .

I left the first post. Edited the last two. Suspended.
 
I could be whining about your spelling prowess instead Pasta. Even going back to the old ESPN board days you seem to carry a 90-95% negativity rate concerning your posts about the Rangers yet you portray yourself as a Rangers fan. Again fair enough it's a message board but as a fan you should know Girardi was playing the Cup with a broken finger which does influence the ability to hold a stick and shoot the puck. If you think Stralman is a beast that's your opinion but his stats say otherwise. My opinion is Boyle is an upgrade and will play no less physical than Anton while providing more offense (upgrade).
 
spelling prowess, really? is that what this is about, sorry man, i was pursuing a professional baseball career, no time for spelling bees...

anyway, so 1 guy who you claim to be an upgrade, who hasn't worn the ranger sweater infont of the most critical fans and media n the world, a man who has half his foot in retirement and for the Love of God!!! again!!! i hear he will add offense????? if i had a penny every time someone on here claimed a ranger defenseman will add offense, i'd be owning this freekin team!

and as far as questioning my being a fan of the rangers, thats just silly!! , what da fook should i feel good about? every year this team finds a away to disappoint in a manner thats mindbogglin, i was happier then anyone here that the rangers made it to the cup, problem was we had to play in it.... feel for hank!!!!thats about it!

You, me and 100,000 other wannabes pursued a professional baseball career Pasta. Some get the breaks but most simply have the talent to get to where you or I couldn't. It's reality dude kind of like Stralman's sucking.
 
Pasta is a troll no different than any of the clowns we had trolling ESPN.

i wasn't a wannabe, i was there.. thats why i am the way i am! hard knocks brother.. i had 100's coaches in my lifetime, and i played with and competed against hof'ers and got there respect!.... so crack on me all u want for not being the most articulate, i proved myself on a ballfield, not a message board!

i bet u wished u sucked and made 2, 3, 4, or 5 mill a year, whatever stralman signed for!
 
So the point of this was to praise Stralman?
 
not bringin this back to direct it at anyone, or i told u so, the obvious answer to this question is NOTHING!

and as long as staal and girardi continue to get all the minutes, this team will NEVER win it all


girardi, ain't reliable, he is awful! ... he defines the phrase 'even a broken clock is right twice
 
this is a no brainer..

every dman is a weakling, girardi is the biggest, brainless p u s on the team

our toughest guy is kreider

step and zook are the muscle?
