He's just so antagonistic.

He's such a J.

14 goals in 20 periods. How’s that for ricks stats
- picklerick

Leave it to Kelly Hrudey to say how good the Rangers have been playing going in to this game. Obviously he looks at the standings and have not watched a single game. 🥶

I have yet to say we won a period this year.

It's not hate for the player, it's hate for the contract. I get where they were going when they signed Panarin and Trouba, but that was a few million too much.

It was all pre pandemic, when the cap was projected to keep going up. It looks bad now but the rangers couldn’t predict that

I'm going with 3 points, not the trick. They still lose.

Of course.
But even back when Trouba was signed the consensus was a few million overpayment to get the tough D man we were lacking. And that's what the market value was for the bright shiny UFA that the Rangers can never resist.

OK, now I feel left out.

When we signed him he showed a lot more offense at the time in the PEG but he has not put up the points for the contract, he is a hitting machine. But hits do not win hockey games.

Definitely.

Don’t tell Drury that, he built a team to lead the league in hits, not score goals

Hey we’re 4-1-1 and have outhit everyone. Of course it wins games

Don't worry, it's not as interesting as you think.

Rangers have won 64% of face offs so far. Guess they really don’t mean that much

They don’t hurt but we’re that inept offensively

I wonder if their game plan is like the plot to Rocky II. Rocky fights with his off hand before switching back to finish, winning the match initially looking as though he would lose.

Perhaps you're right. I know it would help in a best of 7 for sure.

But this will be a very long year if this is the hockey we get to watch on a regular.

Still waiting to the 15 game mark to see where they are.
