Shoutout to Vinny Trocheck the guy has stepped into the 2C role and has been excellent this year. He is also very quietly just under a ppg player. Definitely deserves all star votes.
#NHLALLSTARVOTE
My top 5 predictions for
#NYR
this year.
1. Peter Laviolette makes the Rangers a top 10 team in 5v5 play.
2. The trio of Laffy, Chytil, and Kakko combine for 170 points.
3. Under Phil Housley, K’Andre will majorly improve.
4. Igor wins the Vezina.
5. Igor scores a goal.
Oh fuck off with this “it’s not sitting well with the teammates bs”. This is professional sports, there is consequences when you fail and don’t win. If these guys don’t understand that, then they don’t belong here. These guys are multi millionaires, grow the fuck up.
#NYR
- Part of reason he wanted to come to NY in first place was for his wife’s medical career and now they have 6-month-old. Can’t blame him for wanting to stay put, and I don’t think the way he and Goodrow have been handled this offseason is sitting well with some teammates.
Trade Kreider, Trouba, Igor, Goodrow, Miller, and Mika.
Let go of Wheeler, Pitlick, Lindgren, Gustafsson, Schneider, and Quick.
Keep Panarin, Trocheck, Laffy, Vesey, Cuylle, and Fox.
Start the rebuild again, and let’s guys like Othmann, Perreault, be part of it.
#NYR
If the Oilers win this, I don’t want to here anymore bullshit that you need an elite goalie. Build a team that dominates the game at 5v5, that’s how you fucking win.
If we really think about it, the Sharks claiming Goodrow is good for everyone. The Rangers clear $3.6 million in cap space, and San Jose gets a 2 time cup winner in Goodrow who can help mentor Macklin Celebrini and Will Smith. It’s a win win for everyone.
#NYR
#SJSharks
I’m saying this right now, if the return for Guentzel is a 1st, Othmann, and a 4th round pick, there is no excuse not to make that trade. I know people might be hesitant to trade Othmann. At most, Othmann is a 2nd line winger that hits 60-65 points.
Embarrassing, all these guys besides Fox and Panarin should have their letters ripped off their chest. A lot of these guys like Trouba, Mika, and Kreider are true losers, and they will always be losers. There is never accountability with them, it’s just bullshit excuses.
#NYR
Mika Zibanejad is currently 77th on the centers list for even strength goals this year, and there are 60 centers who have more even strength goals than him. However, this fanbase calls him elite. 💀
#NYR
If it ever comes out that Drury not wanting to give up Kakko was the reason they didn’t get Guentzel, then Drury needs to get kicked in the nuts. But I guess some people consider Kakko a winner and Guentzel a loser. 💀
#NYR
Fine, the Rangers better find a way to sign Marchessault tomorrow. If I see the Rangers have signed either Toffoli, Arvidsson, or DeBrusk, I’m going to be fucking pissed. Nothing against those players, but they are not good enough to fill the whole at RW1.
#NYR
This is why I have a hard time believing this group of players can win a cup. They are mentally weak, they let one mistake get to them and they collapse. This is not just tonight either, this is a constant trend with this group.
#NYR
The players being unhappy about being held accountable for failure, is just showing us that these players care more about friendships and comfortability than winning. This group ain’t serious. Get them gone.
#NYR
“…the team dynamic is "messy right now," according to one league source, given the Trouba drama and the devious manner in which Goodrow was waived…”
#NYR
"Trouba is not pleased with the way this has gone down and does not want to move his family, according to two people with knowledge of the situation, one of whom said it will require "a major clean up" if the captain sticks around...(1/3)
Wait a second, but I thought he was a Crosby merchant? Who knew an elite player could play up to an elite level without his so called crutch? That’s all right though, because the Rangers have Jack Lostandsick instead!!💀
#NYR
There is no difference between the 2022 NY Mets and the 2024 NY Rangers
#NYR
1. Braves started poorly, Canes started poorly
2.Passive Trade Deadline
3. Team collapsing from 1st place
4. Team is showing cracks, but the fanbase is overly optimistic because they are in 1st place
Garbage performance, they got lucky they weren’t playing a better team tonight. This win is going to mask over so many cracks. Credit to the 3rd line though, they stepped up tonight.
#NYR
Truth: We need a top 6 RW.
False: Patrick Kane was the only RW solution.
Reality: It was never Kane or bust. I just wanted him because he was cheap, and we wouldn’t have to give up any assets. If Drury finds a trade that brings in a different top 6 RW then I am good.
#NYR
How is Mika and Kreider not being able to produce at 5v5 not a fatal flaw? Usually a team’s 1st line is supposed to have guys who are dominant at 5v5, and they shouldn’t need a RW to unlock them. If that’s the case, then they shouldn’t be paid the money they are getting.
#NYR
93 and 20’s strengths don’t lie in 5v5 play driving and i firmly believe that’s not a fatal flaw in itself, the problem comes when you don’t give them a top-6 caliber guy who complements them and throw them at brutal matchups in the playoffs with frank vatrano and jack roslovic
The games against The Canes, Panthers, and Jets, what do they all have in common? Teams who defend the neutral zone well, and all teams the Rangers struggled to generate any offense off. These are the type of teams you play in the playoffs. This team will have a hard time.
#NYR
If this team has another exit in the 1st or 2nd round, I want them to go into another rebuild/retool. This core is soft and ain’t good enough to win a Cup.
#NYR
One guy I criticize on this team a lot is Trouba. However, I got to give him credit, I have been very impressed with his play so far this season. He will never an $8 million a year defensemen, but I just want him to play well and lead by example. So far he has done that.
#NYR
Anyone who is still supporting Trouba after tonight, you can fuck off to the team that he gets traded too. Anyone who thinks that he’s still a good leader, needs to get their heads checked, or is a delusional homer,
Look at the difference between the Rangers and Panthers at defending 1 goal leads. The Rangers just sit back and invite pressure. The Panthers defend well and are still able to create offense, because of their shape and structure.
#NYR
LMFAO!!!! Look who was responsible for coughing up the puck in the corner, and fucking up the coverage in front of the net. Trouba sabotaging his team in the playoffs is so nothing new, and the Rangers decided to make this guy captain. 💀
#NYR
The 2019 run to the Cup started in Winnipeg – where Jaden Schwartz’s “Thursday Night Miracle” completed a comeback that lifted the Blues over the Jets with 15 seconds left in Game 5… and eventually a series-clinching win in Game 6.
#WeWentBlues
"Chris Drury's gonna be cookin' this offseason. It feels like that's a team that could have a few tricks up its sleeve as we get into the draft window and trading/free agent period."

It’s funny seeing all the Kane haters scrambling to find another excuse to prove why the Rangers shouldn’t have signed Kane, instead of just admitting they were wrong.
#NYR
Drury can go fuck himself. The season is done might as well pack it up. They are going to overpay for Vatrano. The Canes will win the division, the Rangers will play the Islanders in the 1st round, and lose in 7.
#NYR
In addition to Bunting, some chatter Carolina's package to Pittsburgh for Guentzel includes two CAR prospects and a 2nd round pick. We're still waiting on all the details.
"League sources have indicated that the 29-year-old Guentzel is a Rangers’ target in free agency despite the former Penguins and Hurricanes wing hoping to command around $8.5 million annually on a seven-year deal when the market opens."
#NYR
Friedman on NYR/Guentzel (TJMS): “They can definitely do it, there’s no question about that. The only thing that I can say about that is that the Rangers may be more interested in spending their biggest assets on a centre”
