And on the flip side, look at what Tampa had to endure. When was the last time a team faced 4 teams that had 110+ points in the regular season? Listen, we’re all Ranger fans. We all obviously would have loved seeing us in this Cup Final. But these 2 giants of teams earned their way there. Tampa for the obvious reasons, and Colorado has dealt with the heartbreak and put in the time. If anyone was going to knock off this dynasty-before-it-became-a-dynasty, it might as well be a team that’s as insanely talented as Colorado. Colorado ran train. Tampa would have needed to beat 4 110+ point teams. This was a Final that both teams deserved to be in.

Sod16 Posted June 27, 2022 Share Posted June 27, 2022 Watching Colo throw a wet towel on Tampa in the 3rd period made me feel we're a long way from winning the cup. On the other hand, the fact that a team can win the cup with Jack Johnson playing a regular shift makes me optimistic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm less worried about buying Ufa years in the future when we have a flat cap now. Just my opinion. Absolutely valid. My opinion shifts to that compared to McAvoy ($9.5m), Seth Jones ($9.5m), Karlsson ($11.5m), Nurse ($9.25m), Pietrangelo ($8.8m), and others that we got a pretty good deal all things considered. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There couldn’t possibly be a bigger indictment than that, that the Rangers don’t and haven’t played with nearly enough structure. Structure hides those guys well enough. Tampa hid Cernak, Bogosian, Rutta. None of those guys are very good. They would be negative players on the Rangers. Gallant has his work cut out for him, and so do the players. They need to buy in.

He's lost in space, meanwhile Kucherov is trying to tie up Game 6 of the SCF with 30 seconds left - and now he can't stay on the ice. Should Kucherov just stand there at the bench like, "It's okay bud, just take your time, I'll be waiting here!" 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand that, but, really? This is Game 6 of the Stanley Cup Finals, you're on the brink of elimination and you basically rage quit by throwing your gloves on the bench? This was just an example of the Lightning making it too hard on themselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea, shit happens. You win and lose as a team. I'd understand if he started yelling expletives. But to have a full on tantrum/meltown like a child at a peewee game is not a good look for a player of his stature, or any pro for that matter. If anything, I think this was Kucherov's own frustration at himself coming out. He was simply not good enough in that game. Probably his weakest performance of the series.

Keirik Posted June 27, 2022 Share Posted June 27, 2022 I’d imagine it was pretty hard for the equipment manager to see anything with an entire bench of 6ft+ guys standing up. It was completely unnecessary to throw your gloves at the dude. I feel for him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think we'll hear that any time soon? If the organization has no class then yes. If they have any, they fine Kucherov for being a complete asshat. One guy makes 9.5m. The other guy isn’t Kucherov. I’m sure no one feels worse than the equipment manager himself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
