We don’t always agree.. but I enjoy your work..
And your honest assessment of the Blueshirts.
It’s good hockey reading...

Really I think there was more for Quinn to learn in this series than any of the players.
- dozerD10

Agreed on Quinn.

When things clearly weren't working he should have shuffled the deck a lot more. Hopefully he takes that next step as a coach.

Credit to the Canes, but the Rangers’ effort was pretty damn poor. Hard to say why, but one thing is clear... It’s time to turn the page and put Lundqvist out to pasture.

I doubt next season starts on time so have to let that effort linger till 2021

That's something I've been thinking about too. Can't see the usual season travel happening, will it be hub again?

a hub for 31 teams, a bubble for six months? with no fans? i can't see it. the league has already said they're committed to a full slate of games next year (maybe thats negotiable?)

Nah no hub, I think they plan on going back to a regular schedule next season. Why I doubt it starts on time

The only good thing about this playoffs is that the Rangers didn't even give me a chance to get emotionally attached to them. That felt like a pre season tournament, not playoffs.

Yeah Matt from game 1 I was like "boy I feel like this is just the way it's going to go for a few games." Sure enough all 3games were not a lot of fun to watch, which is a shame. This season I have had the most fun watching NYR than in a long time with how great Z, Panarin and the powerplay looked.

Looks as If the Rags get the 1st 12.5 % crack at Laff!!! Good show!

Yea I am just annoyed mostly cause they didn't compete and play at any where near a high enough level. All other 23 teams that showed up to these bubbles seems to be. Is that on the players? Coaching staff? Or maybe they just weren't good enough. I can take losing to a better team, but man just show up

If it helps the Hawks and Oilers both look terrible.

- BINGO!

Both teams showed some fight though. Would have been nice to see a little of that when things get tough

I will get a blog up sometime tomorrow. Have to let the emotion get out of me and write rationally.

If one more f-in troll comes by to rub it in, I swear to all that is holy, I will use whatever power I have with the admins to get you banned so damn quick, your ass will spin on the way out.

Congrats Bingo, your team deserved the series. They grossly outplayed New York
- airjan23

Rub. Rub. Rub.


This has nothing to do with you Jan. This rubbing is just my quality time alone. There’s not much else going on in Devilville.

Seriously, for what was an exciting season this was just a crappy ending. Not cause of the losing but because it should have been a real fun series.
Hockey is like that sometimes and a few months off thanks to a pandemic can change a lot of things.

Ok. You can ban me now. I’ve got no power in my house and 7% battery left on this phone and no WiFi. Not to mention an empty fridge at 76 degrees...

But before you do just know I actually feel for you guys. Most of my friends are Ranger fans. But that will end the second you guys win the 2nd lottery. Just saying.

Team is a disaster...mull that over 4 months.

Glad you get it...
Cause it just seems super stupid to me.

Stupid as in using 6 mill for shattenkirk to NOT play next season.

Rainman much?

That’s surprising. I would think you would understand stupid inside and out.
Thanks for reminding us why everyone hates the Flyers.

You’re paying Bryzgalov until 26-27, he hasn’t been a Flyer since 2013

Disappointing series. Canes a better team but rangers just look lost most of the time. Don’t like that Quinn did not adjust and aho/svech out played Mika/panarin.

Our defensive play with and without the puck in our own end is awful. We don’t have one shut down defenseman. I Like tony but he’s a one tricky pony. Not giving him 6 for $6. Maybe 4 for $4. He’s abysmal in his own end. Still think the rebuild is on the right track but we desperately need an identity and system for this team. Quinn’s clock is ticking

yeah, Tony D a huge disappointment, whatever injury was bothering him really seemed to effect him

just a real real letdown all around, you wait 5 months for hockey, it lasts a week now you wait another 4 months if we are lucky

Larry Brooks insinuated that if Rangers win lottery, Lafreniere not guaranteed to be their choice

Byfield strong possibility, they certainly need a center over a winger

That is stupid talk by brooks just to get clicks and discussion.

That canes forecheck overwhelmed the D for the rangers I think. Seemed like they always had two guys in deep swarming.

Is chiapet running the Blueshirts on the DL... That's not something Chia would do. Well maybe he would.

No way no how do the Rangers pass on AL.

seems to me the wisest thing to do would be to trade back a couple of spots if they aren't sold on Lafreniere as their primary need

there is no debate that center is a way higher need for the Rangers then wing though

they have Panarin and Kreider locked up long term and Kakko on the wings

Strome as the #2 center is running its course

I am definitely on board with best player available at first overall no matter what
