[ThirtyONE]

Nash to drop the puck tonight. Really awesome move by the blue jackets.

[Kevin]

I'd imagine Atkinson gets at least one tonight. Another guy that always seems to score against us.

[Rangers845]

No Pionk again? Maybe we will play good D then.

[jsrangers]

Somehow we'll survive without Pionk.

Quick start for a change. Too fast for Sam who just can't keep up more and more as time goes on.

 

Nevermind Skjei and Poink special ties it right up.

[Blueshirts1926]

Book on Georgiev shoot high he is horrible

[Rangers845]

There ya go! Come on now, play some D

[Rangers845]

Great play by Deangelo

[phillyb]

I can't believe they have a fucking cannon in the arena.

Also, hey Ricky.

[Blueshirts1926]

Georgiev no reason to be going to his knees on that play. He goes down way to fast

[Blue Heaven]

Zucc increasing his trade value!!!

[Blueshirts1926]

Beat again middle high. Even Columbus announcers said he is slow side to side. Until they fire Ruff and his Defensive scheme they won’t win or compete. 31 shots on goal and still in the 2nd. Hughes Kappo etc won’t fix this problem

[Rangers845]

2 sec left...that’s this season in a nutshell

[Blueshirts1926]

Can’t play goalie on your ass and not in the right spot. Once again Ruff’s D does not clear that guy out just sitting there waiting for rebound or tip. No #1 draft pick will fix this Ruff has to be fired

[Vodka Drunkenski]

Ok we get it already

[Kevin]

If Panarin is auditioning for us right now he's doing it very well. I'd take that guy in a heartbeat! Fantastic player.

Ruff notwithstanding NYR are a bad team and a bad defensive team. Yesterday was fun, but back to reality this evening.

[josh]

Top end talent needed.

[josh]

Fuck :disappointed:

[Phil]

Top end talent needed.

 

Coming... soon?

[4EverRangerFrank]

Ha - watched on DVR and Spectrum did me a favor. Recording was cut off with a few minutes to spare. Missed their final goal. Regulation L just like we expected. #SpectrumSucks

[jsrangers]

I just don't see enough top talent coming here soon enough to make a big impact on a piss poor team from top to bottom especially IF they sell off the few pieces they have who have proven to play at a relatively high level. I don't think we'll be done even bottoming out for 2-3 years. Time will tell but I think the climb is an extremely complicated one especially if they're going to build around kids.

Selling off what few high end players we have for picks and prospects is a recipe to extend what otherwise might be a 2-3 year rebuild to a 6-8 year rebuild.
