Pens, as far as the current roster is concerned, is clearly the easier team to dislike. So the older folk (of which I'm sadly a part) dislike the Rangers franchise, something I never quite understood.

I just say we vehemently agree to dislike them both and call it win/win.

Plus, if you check VDV's CORSI stats, he leads the league in MEI (Missed Empty Nets).
- WhirlingDervish



trust me, he is part of the bottom 6 that I feel needs upgrading for this team to be a contender (I'd like a 4th line that provides energy but can also be physical and chip in on the scoreboard) but as far as the team as is, he works hard and provides energy and good defensive play.

do we need to go down this history route again, troll, a route in which you, the rangers fan base and your franchise lose badly? why are you here? nervous? because you know the rangers won't win again and have mortgaged everything in the process? nice pipeline ya' have there. i have rangers fans friends who despise the state of the team and the lack of a future. and they are right.

the flyers making the playoffs this year would be gravy for us. the truth of the matter is they are on a short path to being a contender for quite awhile. whether you recognize this fact or not is irrelevant. just like the rangers.

have a lovely saturday.

Spoken like a true Dbag. Yes we made a lot of dumb decisions but for the last four or five years the team has been exciting and in it every year and I'm all for going for it now as opposed to your can't miss prospect pool which is largely unproven so I will take the Rangers body of work over the last 5 years over your prospects half of which have never played an nhl game. So you can wait till next year again and hope your talent pool comes through. I'll take my chances. Let's see who wins the cup first us with Hank or you with your can't miss prospects and Steve mason. Yes Steve mason good luck you knuckle dragging troll.

Lundqvist is overrated. People just think he's good because he plays in NY and does modeling stuff. He's a top 10 goalie I guess.

I may not always agree with personnel moves (hell, what do I know?) but you have to give Hakstol major props for the job he has done this year. He has the Flyers playing hard game in and out and has them in the playoff race despite major holes in the lineup and missing guys like Giroux, Couturier, Voracek, Streit and MDZ for stretches. All teams have injuries but when teams have major holes in the lineup, injuries are that much harder to overcome. they may not make it but its so enjoyable watching true meaningful games in March this year.

How about even the thought of you knuckle draggers making the playoffs. We will help you today but it really doesn't matter you have no chance. And sadly for all of you you know it. Get those tee times boys see ya next year!
- Bobd62

tough talk considering the flyers took your team and the officials to a game 7 a couple years ago. do you ever wonder who wins that series if you don't get 12 power plays in games 1 and 2?

- bmeltzer

I predict that the Rangers will beat the Red Wings this afternoon but I also feel we're going to lose against Florida tonight.

Let's face it, we're in a great position and I do believe we'll pass the Wings at some point but we never make things easy on ourselves. Sometimes the points are within our grasp and we just don't get the job done.

I want Simmonds and Schenn to score tonight to get closer to 30 a piece and I want Giroux to assist on both goals but we'll see. We played last night so...

i feel bad for him....he sees his "great" goalie getting older, and older and older and his team still can't win it even with all the help they get from the refs......

Honestly, none of this bothers me. We do speak like our prospects are "can't miss talents"

spoken like a true dbag? knuckle dragging troll? give me a (frank)ing break. you are the epitome of a rangers fan - the scourge of the nhl and humans everywhere. typical new yorker.

do i need to remind you, that YOU came in here, a flyers board, trolling? the two teams aren't even playing against one another today. so i ask again, WHY are you here? to troll. to incite. to be the bumhole ranguhs fan that you are. that's why.

neither team has won the cup in the last 5 years...a rather arbitrary number for you to choose. tell ya' what, i'll take the flyers body of work over the history of their franchise versus what the rangers have done in that same time period. it's really not even close. are you still pissed the flyers beat them in 74? swept the rangers in 95 to unseat them? beat them in 97 to usher in a 7 year playoff drought? prevented them from making the playoffs in 2010? which is it?

your king has won nothing, and will win nothing as a ranger. it's a shame he's wasting his talent on the scrubs around him. they should do him a favor and trade him to a team where he has a chance to win.

i'd rather be where we are - with 2 excellent goalies and on the way up than where the rangers are. our first prospect is already making a huge impact. 2, 3, or 4 more of them will be arriving in the next few seasons and should help them as well. while your team is scraping the bottom of the barrel for free agents and whatever else they can find while the window is rapidly closing, and when it closes, without a cup, you will be left with nothing. again.

not to mention ray emery for half the series. they also got a little help when their kamikaze pilot took price out of their series as well.

As you should. My problem is with your Dbag buddy he has your prospects already winning the stanly cup. Cmon you would be happy with half of them getting to nhl the troll thinks all off them will be in the hall of fame
- Bobd62


you are the troll, troll. making up statements i never said. it's a very simple concept:

rangers are on the way down with nothing in cupboard. flyers are on the way up with lots in the cupboard. i prefer the latter scenario.

nobody said anything about hall of fame, or winning the cup. i said "contender". can you comprehend english? apparently not. yeah, i'm the knuckle dragger. ok.

again...you came here inciting. as you always do. because you're a troll.
