3 games. Don’t forget we had to come back against a very bad Detroit team to win in OT. We don’t seem like we have what it takes to do anything in the playoffs. Maybe we just have the Pens number this year and we get out of round 1, but literally any other team we’re likely to face is going to steamroll us

No. The rangers are a chameleon team. T

Got a point, let’s move on from the past 2 games.

Rangers play like they have the last 2 the devils will route them again. I’m looking at the defense and while they are great players I am seeing some lazy play from Fox and Lindgren lately. They need to be better IMO.

I mean can we see what we look like when Kakko, Rooney and Strome are all healthy first before we say its over lol

We should still not be going to OT against Detroit and Philly even without those players.

funny how hayes becomes messier whenever he plays us lol

And if it wasn't for Jones standing on his head through 50 mins this game probably doesn't go to OT

As soon as I saw Hayes skate on to the ice for the shootout I knew he was going to score I had the rangers to win IGOR Sucked on that last attempt

Lindgren is hurt. I’ve said it for close to a month now he has a lingering injury hes playing through. Fox hasn’t been the same since coming back from the all start break after his injury. Give them a blow and have Schneider and Jones mix in.

I guess. You could examine each instance of a game like this and find reasons to not think of it as part of an overarching team narrative but youre likely just getting lost in the weeds. A team with our record should probably not have so many embarrassing outcomes

I want to see them try Braun on his off side and see what it looks like with Schneider. Need at least one of the two on that bottom pair with skating ability

the teams 5 on 5 play has vastly improved since the deadline. Add in 2 more top 6 players and a strong 4th line player and lets see what it looks like.

No one will be happier than me to be wrong

I just want to see what they look like first fully healthy before I say they have no chance. The new players are showing promising signs in the lineup. Hopefully we get a chance to see it

Oh the irony here:

We've been lamenting for the better part of 2+ seasons that the Rangers should cut down on the fancy cross ice passes and simply SHOOT THE PUCK! Well tonite, they set a season high number of shots on Martin Jones ( MARTIN JONES !! ) and we still lose at home to a tired, beat up Philthy team! SMH!

Come playoffs anything is possible. With that said they need to get as close to 100% healthy as they can. (No one ever is but it’s obvious Fox is still injured and Lindgren has to be dealing with something). I’d give them the time they need to get ready for the playoffs and let’s Schneider/Jones play together for a bit.
