Let us have that at least. lol If you watch games he's assigned to where the Rangers are not involved, you will see he's hypercritical all the time. I'm not going to comment on whether he likes or dislikes the Rangers, I'm just saying that's his schtick. He's not overly celebratory most of the time, he's mostly points out what other teams aren't doing well. Edited April 13, 2023 by Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't really care either way. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrooksBurner Posted April 13, 2023 Share Posted April 13, 2023 1 hour ago, Pete said: Yet nothing he said in that clip was inaccurate... He answered the question of "who do you like the best in the Metro" with "not Rangers". That's like me asking you what your favorite pizza topping is and you say "not pineapple". Focusing on the not to that type of question heavily implies you hate the not. As for what he actually said, his argument stunk. He's using the PP to show how he doesn't like the Rangers' construction because it has too many of the same type. The PP is 28% since the trade deadline, 5th in the league. An argument could be made that they should be even better on the PP given the personnel, say Edmonton-level performance, but it's producing at an elite level. It's a bad argument from a bad hockey commentator. The only thing he was right about was saying the Devils are a faster team. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ozzy Posted April 13, 2023 Share Posted April 13, 2023 Saving for the playoffs....have some faith, fellas! He's still got plenty in him. No use wasting it when we can't move in the standings.

I figure it this way...The guy is 34 yrs old, he's been there and done it 3 times. He comes to NY, and we love the guy. He's got absolutely nothing to prove in my book. He knows what he's gotta do, and the rest of this season isn't important. Get loose, get in shape...STAY HEALTHY, and when the playoff bell rings...It's...

Slobberknocker Posted April 13, 2023 Share Posted April 13, 2023 these playoffs are going to be really interesting. i can see the rangers winning it all or being booted in the first round, and i can say the same for any of the 16 that are in it. if anyone tells me they are sure of who's in the cup i call bullshit we will see if the kane, tarasanko signings will bear fruit. however we did go to the conference finals last year and we added two guys with 4 cups coming into the deadline. thats good for the room and we are a tight group. if they play defense which has been better of late we should be fine. tbh though the devils scare the fuck out of me. there not a fluke. feel like im living 94 over again where we win this one and they come back and win a few more.

Sharpshooter Posted April 14, 2023 Share Posted April 14, 2023 The Rangers match up well with Tampa. I wouldn't mind it at all. I wonder how Toronto feels about having to play them again. Imagine if the Leafs get bounced in the first round yet again? Oh man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they don't win a cup with that core group, they're probably never going to. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted April 14, 2023 Share Posted April 14, 2023 (edited) Standing -O for this kind of shit to the Org and the Garden of Dreams, this guy lost his sister in the Sandy Hook school shooting. They're paying for his law school debit and Trouba gives him his cell number (normally a cool spot for a joke and who knows if he'll even be here BUT nothing but class here) Edited April 14, 2023 by jsrangers 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree. If they don’t win this year, I don’t know when the time is. This is a team that they nearly beat last year. And this matchup has essentially been locked in for many months now, so mentally they’ve been able to prepare themselves for Tampa. If they can’t get by them now, with all that time to prepare and all the adrenaline that city can provide during the playoffs plus this is a team that beat you in 7 last year, then I don’t know when their time is.
