All things considered a point in the second back to back is all you could ask for so you take it and move on 

True but to play a game until the end where they had a chance to win sucks 

[Sharpshooter]

This team, despite the additions, is actually worse than they were during their streak.

The NHL has been doing it since the 80's with Lemieux. Why stop now?

[NYRangers93]

The top 3 lines just have to play better. Kakko and Tarasenko have been invisible lately. Need to get the offense going more early in games. For not being a fan of Halak he showed me something today

Panarin held but somehow still gets a penalty. *smh*

True, but it was still a stupid penalty.

[Sharpshooter]

@RichieNextel305Agreed. Zibanejad has been kind of cold lately anyway.

[Sod16]

Why doesn't playing one good period get them regulation wins?

[Sharpshooter]

You can't complain about the officiating at all. It was a penalty, and a lazy one at that, by Panarin.

[jamsim1967]

4th line was the best line for the full 60. Cannot play hard for 20 minutes, and expect a win. Pens are not the Canadiens, or the Sabres

Colby…..SHUT THE FUCK UP! Makes Biz and Tocchet listenable. Yandle….another bust for NYR.

National TV coverage for the NHL is in a dark place.

Yes, but in OT after a Malkin manhandle both should have went. Or better, Malkin called before Panarin trips

Perhaps, but in that case the lazy penalty is going to get called every time.

If Torts were coaching this team, Panarin would be a healthy scratch next game for that stupidity in OT.

[NY Chief]

Gallant is a shitty coach. With that All Star line up? Please. Just like Emile Francis….. years of under performing heartbreak. Seems like the best years I’ve seen were under asshole coaches….Keenan and Torts…

It's only been a decade or so since this team has had quality coaching.

[jamsim1967]

Refs were going to let them play to a point. Bread was the point

see above!

Having a sudden influx of this much veteran talent on what still is a pretty young team is naturally going to take some time to get things adjusted and optimized.  Got a win in OT yesterday and a point in a pretty tough second of a back to back entirely on the road.  They play Pit twice this week and frankly only have to win one to stick a pin in them.  I predict different story at MSG.

[Valriera]

Bread will make up for it next game just like he has his entire rangers career. This was a solid effort on the second of back to backs where we lost in ot on a dumb penalty. This happens and you sign up for 3/4 on back to backs every single time

Coaching has always been a problem for the Rangers. They usually have good rosters, but fall short because of incompetence behind the bench. The more hard ass coaches being a success here is not a coincidence. There's a reason a Rangers coach has never won Coach of the Year, because they suck.

Grant you it was a penalty. But what Malkin did behind the net before that, holding Bread the whole time they're behind the net and throwing him to the ice, was a penalty. Wasn't called, Panarin retaliates, penalty.

 

 Doesn't excuse shit plan in OT and not playing a full 60 minutes.

 

If this team doesn't turn things around ASAP you can make book on Gallant getting shown the door after a early playoff exit.  He has the keys right now to what should be  an offensive Ferrari and it's doing nothing. 

 

OT plan; gain the puck, and skate around pointlessly without attempting a shot.

Yes. Also a very good game from Halak. They got owned for 40 minutes.
