Trouba is a problem with that contract. He isn’t worth half his cap hit, let alone $8MM. Doesn’t bring it offensively anymore, constantly takes brutal penalties, and puts himself out of position to make hits.
horrendous defensive player. Terrible with the puck, always out of position, undisciplined and not this team's leader.
In my opinion other then Shesterkin, their nucleus isn't that elite. The guys who play 25 to 30 minute games in the crunch time of the playoffs. The Lightning and the Bruins had that going for them!
Yes, yes and yes. He needs to go!
Igor was the reason this wasn't a sweep. The Panthers are just better
The Rangers are built for the Presidents cup, not the Stanley Cup.
Exactly, 100%. They have all these 30 + year old stars , that run out of gas in 2nd or 3rd round of the playoffs. They give us fans great hockey in the regular season, I get it. As a whole, the Rangers are a great organization.
💯💯💯💯
Would you now say that with the Knicks minus the injuries??
PS no President’s Trophy in the NBA but I am trying to get the equivalent to the other winter Madison Square Garden Sports
Just like the Washington Capitals when they were the best reg season team numerous times and couldn’t take care of business
The core disappears when it counts, year after year after year.
They had Buchnevich and traded him away There was your right wing.
@phil Yeap! That trade was a bad one. But they tried to add to some grit at the time with Sam Blais who got injured at the beginning of his tenure with the Rangers.
Who knows if Buchnevich would have made a difference with the "odd couple" long term?
Kreider and Zibanedjad play like a duet anyway. Maybe that's why nobody fits with them at the end of the day.
Have you considered that possibility?
Yeah that was a huge mistake
The worst trade the franchise has made in years. Horrible.
Gallant didn’t like him
100% One of the worst trades in team history.
Trouba is a joke, but we already knew that. Mika and Artemi should be ashamed of themselves. Complete no show when it mattered. Didn't help that Drury picked up trash at the trade deadline
So true. Rangers are not a playoff team. Their lealders donot show up for the critical games. Just look at the last 3 seasons Rangers lose each critical games
Trade Zibanijad, he's too submissive and weak in the playoffs. Trouba is Clueless too.
I have been saying that. You need money players. Guys like him wilt under physicality. Trade Filip Chytl. Get rid of these guys in limbo. Not grinders with size, not scoring when it counts. Now Igor knows how Henrik feels. I don’t care about flash for 82 games. They are severely lacking and not built for the deep playoffs.
We need to get rid of Trouba, I would
Like to keep Mika just not as a first line center, he does kill penalties well and faceoffs are decent, I just don’t know what else we can do man these top guys have a good amount of years left under contract…..
Krieder as well. He chokes in the playoffs.
@@ejl74 The Ranger that has scored more goals than any other player in Ranger playoff history and is hands down one of the best net front/deflection experts in the NHL, yeah get rid of him, I'll take him on my team
@@richardcesarano9724 trade chytil ??? Dude missed the whole season relax he needs time just like laf and look at laf now we need to get rid of kakko and trouba and get a gritty rw
3 rounds of sold out MSG at $800 a ticket is good enough for James Dolan
Fools
I would go as far to say that the Rangers are highest grossing team in the NHL.
@@robertkuhn-qr6vb and most overrated😆😆😆😆😆
A very memorable moment and special gesture from our future Captain (#16) as he consoled Igor after the loss. All Igor really needs from us is a few goals per game in the post season and he will handle his business. It's a shame we can't oblige him. The saddest part is that Igor puts so much on himself and seemingly self-shoulders much of the blame. He deserved far better from his supporting cast.
I've read a lot of articles saying that Trouba cost us the series. We will never truly know what would have happened if he avoided ridiculous penalties, giveaways, horrid decision making and atrocious puck handling in our own zone. But it goes without saying, and I've said it for 3 years... He seems like a good guy, but that doesn't equate to Good hockey player. Making him Captain backfired, because they'll never bench a captain. Thinking back to 1994... If Mike Keenan were coaching this team, Trouba would have been wearing plain clothes for the entire postseason, and rightfully so.
Trouba has been killing us for the past 3 postseasons and I'm getting tired of screaming "NOOOO TROUBA" every damn time he touches the puck, misses a hit or lets his man fly past him, leaving him in the dust. Enough is enough.
Vinny has overwhelmingly become the heartbeat of this team. He is our captain as far as I'm concerned, and while dumping the contract of #8 may prove difficult, I would pull every string possible to make that a reality.
Florida brought horses and we had ponies.
Agreed that the Rangers have tried nineteen different right wingers to play alongside Mika and Kreider, so maybe the answer is to break them up instead.
GM is a moron
No Frank Vatrano played great with them.
Buchnevich played well with them too. But Drury traded him away in one of the worst trades in team history. The most obvious move to make this team better would be to trade for an actual top six RW to play with Kreider and Zibanejad.
Keep Krieder get rid of Mika
Mika isn’t going anywhere. His contract has no trade clause.
Chris is getting OLD, turn the page on him
Better be finding a way to get rid of Trouba. He's fucking dreadful.
NMC
It's the same song and dance with the Rangers every playoffs. They are not physical enough. They Continue to skate up hill. Opponents constantly in Rangers zone. They don't score. PK Suban was very critical, yet correct about Rangers lack of aggression. Rangers wasted years under King Henry. They are doing the same with Igor. It is rare to have back to back really good goalies. Rangers keep failing these goalies. Their last coach was fired because of this very same thing we just saw. Can we now admit that coaching is not the issue? They don't have the players to get to Stanley Cup. Just the goalie.
94 and never more
Sounds like a brand new song title 😅😅
1. Buyout Trouba 2. Trade Miller 3. Find a way to get Mika to allow a trade. 4. GET SOME GRIT!
1 Cup in 84 years and it’s the only one of their 4 Cups that was won with more than 6 teams in the league and the beat goes on 🤣🤣
They played a cupcake Washington in Round 1 and Carolina’s goaltending is subpar. Granted you only play the teams that are put in front of you but an AHL team could’ve beat the capitals. The Panthers were here last year, they are a team on a mission, and even when they got down in the series, they found a way to win three straight.
Some would argue the case that had Shesterkin not been standing on his head with the goaltending, the Rangers could have bitten the dust against Carolina.
@@johnathanpatrick6118 in Game 6, the Canes had 3 or 4 chances in the opening 5 minutes of the third period that should of ended up in the back of the net that Igor stopped. They put a couple of those in and there’s definitely a Game 7.
100 percent facts.
With the added distinction of having the highest s
Salary as a team ( pre cap ) a large part of that time . Just a poor franchise no matter how you look at it
Fancy hockey works very well in the reg season.
On the road to the Cup you will inevitably run into a tough team(s) that will take all that wonderful time and space away and expose you. That is when you realize what you're actually working with.
Well said
That was the brilliance of those Blackhawk teams, they had great skill with Toews & Kane, but they and their teammates knew how to grind in the postseason
Coming a panthers fan.
Mika needs to go
Trouba does as well
Keep Kreider and potentially panarin unless you can get a haul
But trouba missive liability and Miller may be better suited with more experience D.
They need to be tougher.
I think part of the reason Kreider struggled in this series is that when the panthers saw his hat trick to eliminate the canes, they were going to make sure that anybody but Kreider beats them
Everything you said is true I was tuned in to our team all of the playoffs
Rangers, knicks, jets, mets. These franchises don't win. We rely on winning franchises like the Yankees. And in some ways we rely on the giants....and the Islanders because of their 4 cups!
The Rangers win. Just not when it counts. You can have all the skill players in the world, and if they aren't in tip top physical shape, these young energetic teams will wear you down in a 7 game series.
@@robertkuhn-qr6vb I appreciate the comment. The Rangers do "win". But only produce 2 championships in their history. I want you to pretend to be gm/owner for a moment. How can the Rangers become a franchise that wins a few more championships? What formula would you have? I ask because I assume you know a lot more hockey than I do.
So freaking disappointed in the Rangers.
1 Cup in 84 years. Pathetic franchise
And for 25 of those years, there was only 6 teams in the freaking league!
I've never seen a fan base talk so much $#!T having won so little.
yet why do the ranger fans feel every year they could win it?
And let's be honest, if the Rangers didn't go to Edmonton with a mask and a gun and steal their coach and 1/2 their roster, we'd STILL be chanting 1940.
if it's so easy for a Hockey club to win a cup why don't you just apply for a GM job?
Whay a typical Ranger homer take. Devils > Rangers last year. They were lucky they took that series to 7 last year.
The Rangers beat the Devils a combined 10-2 in the Devils building in games 1 and 2 and they were lucky to push it to 7???? If anything the Devils are Lucky the rangers turned Akira Schmid into Dominik Hasek, Vanacek stays in it’s a sweep lmao, yes the Devils were better last year but to say the Rangers were lucky to lose in 7 is stupid when The devils got walked by Carolina in 5
@@klm7514 Yes the Devils get swept in Vitek stays in. He was trash in the playoffs, Akira was playing better. If he played in games 1 and 2, that series probably ends in 6.
My only point is, playing if/then games and saying the Devils were inferior last year is disrespectful after they shut you down for 4 goals in 4 losses, not to mention they were the favorites to win the series. Devils were bad this year because they couldn't get proper goaltending and were forced to play multiple rookies on defense all year thanks to injuries and trades.
Devils can talk when they actually make the playoffs again. Have fun trying to find a goalie. Your GM is so incompetent that it took him all season to figure out what everyone else knew after the first month.
@Desert-Father Rangers can take shots at the Devils when they actually beat them in the playoffs.
And you only hear about the trades that happen, not the ones that don't. Not easy to trade for an established goalie, teams don't like to give them up. They can carry your team like how Igor has to carry your barely playoff team.
Let's not talk about incompetent GMs, it's taken that fool Drury years to realize what we have know for years, this core is not winning shit, even with Igor.
@ravi8490 You can speak when the Devils actually make the playoffs again. You all have been golfing since April. Also, 4 > 3. I know the Devils don't appreciate good goaltending anymore. That's part of the reason why you all were terrible this year. Rangers swept the Devils in the regular season.
We know it's not the coach. They threw Gallant under the bus and it wasn't his fault. 93 needs to become a better two way player like Barkov. 8 needs to go but that isn't happening. Othman coming up next season. Maybe he'll mesh with Zibanejad and Kreider.
I hated wen they fired him, he took them to a conference finals 2 yrs ago n they had more grit than this yr’s team
The Rangers are not built for the playoffs....where was Panarin.... he's a boy amongst men.... Zebanajade is physically weak..... he's a weakling.....did anyone see him make a check.....he was pushed all over the ice.....
Start with moving on from Panarin, Trouba, Kakko, and others who didn’t perform in the playoffs and replace them with upgrades at the positions of need that we have. Drury has 1 more shot, IMO
Zibanejad and Gustafson too.
It's a re-occurring theme isn't it. Not one media personality who covers the Rangers can be taken seriously. The core of this team is cooked, forwards and D alike aside from Fox when hes healthy. Lindgren is 26 going on 35. Drury is an awful GM and has been since that first debacle of a trade with STL. Dark days ahead if major changes are not made.
I will be rooting for Oilers in the final..
They won and prevented Dallas -Fort Worth Big D American Airlines Center Barbacue. The Mavericks are in the NbA finals and if Dallas won the series Dallas fans would be gloating all day about the Stars and the Mavericks. Then they would wake up all the Dallas Cowboy Fans saying they will win the Super Bowl. How annoying. Glad the Stars are gone.
@@jqight740I’m in Dallas right now, you’re totally right. Stars fans are cowboys fans
Huge rangers fan. They didn’t let me down. I’m proud af for these boys. Best team I ever watched in my life. Do I think they deserved the cup? Yeah? I think they need to give it one more chance. This core is nasty. In a good way.
Boomer is FULL OF IT... he LOVES the Rangers. That was all he was talking about it.
Boomer ain't wrong at all though because he's level-headed and realistic. Most Rangers fans just need to stop feeling like it should be scorched Earth right now with this team, losing to the Panthers is not shameful in my opinion. Run it back with Shesty and a (hopefully) healthy Fox next year, there is no need to panic.
@@DeadPixel27 Rangers will trade for or sign members of the Edmonton Oilers and dress them in Ranger Uniforms like they did in 1994.
@@frankgraham1996 Which Oilers?? 🤣🤣 I doubt Edmonton parts with anybody considering they're in the SCF.
As a lifelong Rangers fan born in 95, why am I not surprised
Miller can get a good return. For us, he's nothing but a turnover machine and a stick defender! CYA!
Huge rangers fan watched every single game this season still very upset how we went out I think was more disappointing then last year personally bc I felt like last year we going to have everyone firing on all cylinders and didn’t where as last year there wasn’t the same expectations in my mind at least for them to perform in the playoffs bc they didn’t have as big regular seasons
Why is Boomer moving the goal posts? He was angry that the Rangers, as the #7 team in the league, lost to the #3 team in the league last year. But he's not fired up that the Rangers, as the #1 team in the league, lost to the #5 team in the league? This was their year
Agreed. They won two rounds this year, one against the team that put out an AHL roster in the capitals, and another team in Carolina, who simply does not have a legitimate NHL goaltender. The Rangers had no excuse to be embarrassed this series like they were, but yet all of the sports media are doing exactly that and making every excuse.
The core players CHOKED!!
Jonathan Quick was like a Cinderella story. Top 6 Ranger this year.
Panarin
Igor
Quick
Kreider
Lafreniere
Trocheck
Kappo Kakko and Trouba are gone. Watch how well this team plays with them gone and a solid bottom 6 defensemen and signing a top right winger.
Never seen a more worseless hockey player than kakko, a compleat bust why they kept playing him is a mystery to me...Rempe with his limited ice time was a more offensive threat than kakko ever was or will be...get rid of him pleaseeee.
I'll take kappo on Florida.. I really think he's good. But he may be a good third liner.
Should have started Remp the first game, Panthers had a better team and were much hungrier from losing year before. Panthers had physical lines learned a lot from the knights. Rangers media and players got to confident thinking they won the cup far too much towards the end of the season.
Next is we need to find a new first line center. Ziba had an awful for a first line center. Rangers do have a very good team which they can win with. Ziba was a passenger the whole year on a first line. Laffy will be star, we need a 1st line RW hopefully Othmann, other then that they need some more size/firepower. Shesty is awesome and better then Lundy.
Good Lord the Rangers had a great year. Beating by a better team. A few tweeks and the take another step
Get over it …Florida was better in this series…great season …so hard to get the Stanley Cup
Mika Zibanejad has six years guaranteed and you can’t move him with no trade. Panarin has 4 yrs and no trade. Kreider has 2 years. Same with Trouba.
Troubas contract is now a modified no move clause. July 1st he submits a list of 15 teams he won't accept a trade to. On July 2nd he needs to be gone
The problem isn't with any one player like Zibanejad or Trouba, though they, especially Trouba, had some serious issues. The problem is that for every player like that, there isn't any other player that balances them out. They are a quick team, that gets a lot of rushes, makes passes, and scores nice goals. They take advantage of their talent on special teams. But there needs to be some size. There needs to be better playmakers for the scorers. Panarin, Zab, Kreider, and Lafreniere need some people that bring it all together. More people like Fox, not necessarily defensemen, that can quartetback this whole thing. Florida played better as a team. The Rangers get individual blaming because it looks like a disrupted unit, with different, skilled, and capable guys trying to get it done almost in an improvised fashion. And they don't deal well when their flow is disrupted. So more size, physicality, and complementary players that balance out the skill, with smart gameplay. Someone like a Messier, who doesn't necessarily get Messier numbers in terms of scoring.
@spinin ...someone like Matthew Tkachuk's brother maybe? Those are the types of players a team that want to win it all should look for.
But to do that you need to make a blockbuster trade like the Panthers did 2 years ago with Calgary and I don't think that Ottawa would take the bait knowing what we know now about the result of the Calgary-Florida trade.
BTW, there is no one like Mark Messier in this league anymore. But there are a few close enough like Brady Tkachuk who could give the Rangers the grit and balance you are talking about.
We can dream about what a Brady Tkachuk instead of Mika Zibanedjad would have done for the Rangers this year. Imagine the Florida series between the brothers.
OK! I'm done dreaming. I have to get back down to earth again. ;)
The amazing Chris Kreider gm means horses”it now
What going on in Florida? I mean the 🐱 are in the final the heat make the final last year now Messi and inter Miami are simply the best team in the MLS . Maybe on a pace for 70-80 points season and supporters shield
The Panthers won the presidents cup and that off season trade Hubberdeau the top score and Weegar thier top scoring D man . Why ? Beacuse they were not built to win a cup. The Rangers have been trying to hide certain issues for a long time. No first line right wing and the fact that they could ususally out score teams but have had issues with heavy teams all the time. They have a bunch of soft players and to be honest to many soft players. You can have some. Not everyone can bang and hit but Rangers have way to many of these type of players. They need to change the mix.
I am tired of this long runs to not win smh 😪
i would trade Panarin way faster than Krieder , to get a a difference maker
I love that the rangers lost, my brother-in-law loves them, I do not love my brother-in-law, ,I think he is still crying
😂
I think Carolina took alot out of us Plus you throw Florida very similar that was too much back to back series for themm Tall task.
Trouba and Goodrow need to be traded for cap space. Kakko should be traded because its just not working out and you cant justify giving him an extension with money being so tight. None of the UFAs should be kept. With those savings the Rangers should have enough cap space to extend Igor, bring in a RW1 and two solid veteran heavy hitting defensemen. Those are the biggest offseason needs. With Othmann and Berard promotable the Rangers will have more than enough players on contract to staff the bottom six internally. Trading Kreider would be a mistake that would gut the top line. And the Rangers cannot get it done with just one scoring line.
boomer just thinks the rangers should have won every stanley cup since 2012
Rags fans talk like they’ve won 10 of the last 15 Cups
@@TL2354 for a franchise that’s been around for over 100 years, they only have four Stanley cups in their history and only one of them came when there was more than six teams in the league.
I’m a Devils fan and they have won three Stanley Cup in 40 years. Heck, the Islanders won four in a row which matches the Rangers franchise total of Stanley Cups.
I believe the Rangers have the most playoff victories over the last 10 seasons without a Stanley Cup. Some fans seem to think that is a big accomplishment. I think it’s a meaningless stat because they haven’t won a championship. All those wins mean nothing.

These guys know nothing of hockey. The Rangers did blow it. They refused to address deep flaws "doomers" saw. Now, people are used to losing. It's called cope.
What you do is draft like these teams that have competed deep into the playoffs and won cups….draft size and grit. Legit bangers, and cut down on the finesse. Finesse disappears in seven game series against bigger teams. During the season, they survive. It’s a game here, a game there. No matter what guys think it’s not just finesse. Toughness with ability will always win out. Panarin 49 goals in the regular season, big deal. Give me two like Bennett of Florida for one Panarin. That’s my point. It always comes down to physical. That’s this sport. Then go play tennis. From the very beginning of this series, they were out of it.
Like the 94 club, the NYR need to add a few pieces to go all the way
TRADE MIKA. His to soft!
Front the drop if the puck in the first game, it was evident the Rangers are not in their class. When you have big physical players against them, you cannot compete. Anyone who thinks otherwise is just wishing. Wishing don’t get it done. They are built for a hockey season, not the grind of the playoffs. Especially deep into the playoffs. Their drafting needs help. Period.Grinders, role players, with size. Not only scoring potential. Bulk of your team should be grinders that punish and do the dirty work. They are severely lacking in that dept. Love the kid. Rempe, but that’s isn’t the answer. Nice to have him for certain situations and games, but Rangers need a small rebuild.
I'm sick of hearing the same shit every year win a fucking cup already this is worse then last year they had to team to do it this year I dunno what's he's talking about. Always the bridesmaid never the bride typical miserable franchise
No Puck control.
I think the boys need to get to practicing a bit more. They all think they are superstars and they are but they don’t practice enough and when they do it’s just warming up they don’t actually take drills seriously or do anything to improve their game.
Bare with me if you will.
3 of the 4 cups the Rangers have won in their storied franchise were before the end of WWII when you had to win only 2 series to get the job done in a 6 teams league.
Since then they won just one and the silver lining is that it's one of the most memorable in NHL history for good reasons. In 1994 they found a way NOT TO BLOW IT but they almost did. If not for the leadership of Mark Messier at the time we would be talking about a Red Sox or Cubs kind of drought. At least the NHL 54 years record without a championship which was "owned" by New-York has been broken by Toronto (57 years and counting) and a couple of teams are chasing it like Vancouver and Buffalo. ;)
In 1974 I became a Rangers fan thinking in my young and gullible mind that my team would win the cup many times only to realize that winning the Stanley Cup is a matter of "destiny" more than anything else.
In other words, the stars need to be aligned for that to happen.
And who controls that? Not me, that I can tell you.
This year I thought they were because of the 4 wins in OT, the spectacular performance of Chris Kreider in Carolina, Shesterkin's outstanding play all around, Trocheck's poise, the arrival of Lafrenière, Goodrow's timely goals, etc. But no, not yet, not this year...again. :(
The New-York Rangers always find a way to disappoint, except in 1994 and when the NHL was a totally different league.
At least the Yankees seem to have something special cooking this year, so there is hope for Gotham City. :)
This season I tried to see if the stars were aligned for the Rangers and watching the standings I thought to myself, hummm! Maybe a final between New-York and Vancouver, 1994 vs 2024 (sounded great), Laviolette's influence, the best goalie in Shesterkin, the quarter back in Fox on defense (overwhelmed a bit in this year playoffs), one of the best PP and PK in the league, no serious injuries to the core players (apparently), the arrival of Lafrenière, Rempe's as a joker (needs to learn how to time his hits though, hitting the boards gets you nowhere), Trocheck and Goodrow's impact, the return of Chytil, and Panarin (of course but of course not), etc.
But frankly, nothing seems to be enough to get them to the "promised land".
So, I bet on the alignment of the stars yet again. Next possibility, they win it for their 100th anniversary in 2026. ;)
Sounds like you bought what the media was selling in an effort to get clicks and eyeballs on their jibberish.
The Cup is the hardest trophy to win in pro sports.
The road gets harder the further you go.
If u are not built for it, you only go so far on that road.
Granted, a team can ride a hot goalie a long way down that road.
But eventually, your forwards have to get their noses dirty, as that road gets narrower and harder to navigate.
#10 has never been, and will never be that guy.
Ditto 93.
73 was a novelty act, and 20/16 got neutralized by a rugged, nose over the puck, hockey team from FL
All in all, it was not a bad season for the NYR, built the way they were.
But no way were they a reincarnation of the 1994 team. Not even close, when u look at the lineup.
That team was built on ex Blackhawks and Oilers players that had been there before and knew their coach well.
2024 team had nothing like that.
Too bad the NY press did not know that.
Might have saved some fans some anguish.

I'll keep it short next time.
But it's tough to sum up the Rangers history in a few words. I hope you get that part at least.
I don't understand why the Rangers should have beaten the Devils last year. The Devils were the better team.
because its a dumb boomer take
You see last year the Rangers had great goaltending with Igor and their top scorers just dissappeared when they needed them, where this year they got great goal tending from Igor and their top scorers dissappeard when they need them. But last year it was because the Rangers were bad, this year was because the Panthers were good. It makes a lot of sense if you just want it to be that way.
@jessArcade the Devils were flat out better than them last year. The Devils were caught off guard in the Game 1 and 2 and Vitek was poor. Outside of that, the Devils shut them down. There were atleast 2 games that could have ended 7-0 instead of 4-0 if not for Igor
@@ravi8490 I'm a Devils fan. You're preaching to the choir.
@js The "better team" who didn't make the playoffs this year. Yeah right! The Rangers should have beaten the Devils last year because they won the first 2 games in N.J. easily before disappearing at MSG the next 2 games without a fight. After that, they caved.
Last year the Rangers LOST in the first round. This year the Panthers WON in the 3rd round against the Rangers.
Big difference in my humble opinion.
This team is basically Toronto with a goalie...
This team doesn’t hav a Mcdavid, an Ovi or Crosby in their primes, a Messier. That’s what costed Henrik a cup n will ultimately possibly cost Igor a cup
I’m tired of hearing if it wasn’t for Igor this would have been over in 4. He’s a part of the team. It’s like saying if wasn’t for Brady the Pats wouldn’t have won all those Titles. If it it wasn’t for Gretzky they wouldn’t have won 4 cups. They are part of the makeup of the team. Makes no sense to keep saying that.
You cannot change Igor’s contract now. You have to let his last year play out by rule of the NHL. The rangers are able to talk contract extension with him I think January 1st, 2025
….and for two straight years his team folded in front of him as he stood on his head to keep them in it. I doubt he’s going to want to stay and end up ringless like “King” Henrik….. I know I wouldn’t want to play behind a team that’s so complacent and has no heart during the biggest time of the hockey season…..
@@AJ72281 lol idk why you’re telling me this when I’m just simply stating to Boomer since he referenced to give Igor a new contract right now. Which would not be possible for the rangers or any team by nhl rule
Funny how Boomer turned this Ranger embarrassment into a yankee world series or bust convo...Good job trying to take the focus off the choke artists Rangers
'94 is the new 1940 chant for Rangers fans
Sadly the Knicks is 1972.
I want the Garden Party of the near title in 1994. I won’t ever mention it again.
But, but you won the Presidents trophy, right fans?
Go out get Gudas or Tanev for two years then your have a d core
Ok, the Rangers aren't built for the playoffs. Apparently, so were all the other teams that were in the playoffs.....
......Assuming this new found dynamo named the Panthers run the Oilers out of the hockey rinks, are we gonna say they're the "model franchise" and roadmap of how to build a champ?
We lost because the other team won!
Its not Trouba, or Kreider, or Z man, or Fox...its the whole NYR organization & team make-up & team culture, going way back to 1926 the NYR have never put a consistent "tough" team, they always went after skilled players not realizing or always ignoring you need "some" tough abrasive players to win in the playoffs. With the series with FLA i did not see 1 single hard cross-check to the back or head of Tkachuk or Bennett even if it costs them a penalty or two you are sending a message to the other team. There was no sticking up for Shesterkin when he was being harassed by all the Fla players. Whats worse is players like Kreider & Miller who are built like stone walls rarely use their bodies for hard bone crushing hits, its almost as if they are too humble or shy to use that aspect of the game. Also getting Wennberg & Roslovic at trade deadline was worthless & Kakko is a compleat bust, how they keep playing him is beyond me...Rempe with his limited ice time was more of an offensive threat than kakko was or ever will be,,,,get rid of him pleaseeeee.
Kakko blows belongs in mens no check beer league
As usual, Boomer, you never get to a solution in time because you change sports every 60 sec. You didn’t mention size. You didn’t mention how Fox disappears each postseason.
Good. James Dolan does not deserve a ring for anything ever.
Florida was the better team in this series. We have cap space to be flexible this season. Drury is facing a pivotal moment in his tenure. We need to find a way to get players that can play more of a grinder style and create more space for our stars. I do not think that this team is that far off from getting over the hump(which could be a bad thing). I’m excited for next year LGR!
Boomer should be just as pissed this yr! U win the president’s trophy, u got lucky with the canes which if it weren’t for Kreider, ur talking about a possible blown 3-0 series lead! N u don’t even get to the cup finals! Why would u accept a season like this? I don’t! Nxt yr for sure, they better at least get to the cup finals!
GET that thief of 8 million dollars a year the hell out of here! CAPTAIN AWKWARD, that is.
No mood
They only beat Carolina because of good luck and good goal tending. Shouldn't have made it out of that series. Canes in 4
If the canes had an above average goalie there would’ve at least been a game seven
Krieder needs to go. He is the problem
I hate to say you're right, but you are,. He is the captain. I can't believe, with all the fire power and top 5 goaltender. The last 2 seasons ended in major disappointment. During the regular season, they are so exciting to watch. I still consider the Rangers the top organization in hockey.
5:21 hold on there pal. Rangers up 2-1. Game 4. 12 seconds left. Rangers should’ve had a 2 on 1 breakaway opportunity to end the game. Mika got pulled down (interference) nothing was called. We got no 2 on 1. We got no power play either. Game goes to overtime. The panthers get a call immediately and win the game in like the first 2 mins. I would argue THAT game was really badly officiated and had a huge impact on the series. Mika could’ve potentially scored on the 2 on 1 with 12 seconds left. Also where’s the penalty we should’ve got at least going into OT?? We could’ve and shoudve been up 3-1 after game 4 but because of everything I just stated it turned into a 2-2 series.
They need more than a gritty right wing. They need to DRAFT NEW CULTURE on this team.
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Rangers are an average team that had a decent playoff run due to Igor
It’s exciting to think we have the only goalie in history that can drag an average team to a first place finish. That makes me excited for the future-I appreciate your positive outlook on things.
Yes the Presidents trophy winning team is average. What a moronic take.
Miller is vastly overrated
During the off-season Miller works in the national parks as a forest ranger, his sole task (considering his long reach) is going around poking (with his own hockey stick) any smoldering firewood or coals making sure they will eventually extinguish.
@@user-wf6jh2og5g He should have been a baseball player. Every game he'd pitch a no hitter
@user You can say that again. He learned to turn the puck over by playing with Trouba. ;)
Yankees are annoying this year
The Mets are a bad reality show come to life
The Rangers.....Hold my Beer

Yanks are awesome bud…# 28
@michealferrone8178 #28??? NOT HAPPENING 😂😂
nothing funnier than watching Rangers fans cry ... makes my day
Why?
You realize you sound like a loser, don’t you? Quit obsessing with the Rangers.
Yes, but for the most part. The Blue Shirts are competitive every year. Of course we like to see them win it all. They just don't have enough young energetic legs too win 4 seven game series. They are built for the regular season. GO RANGERS!
Nothing like a doucebag comment after a great season and a great playoff run
