Jan Levine: Rangers fall 8-5 to Flyers as same mistakes are made, Sam and JD in booth Poor defensive effort again

"Beaver been fired" that typo is the exact typo the rangers made firing him 😭. Last night was hard to watch for multiple reasons. Especially with JD making jabs at the rangers and the decision Drury and Dolan made. I can't believe Sather was really the one that blocked Dolan from himself all these years.

I mean I’m not a Drury hater and last night was making me sick that they fired JD. It feels more wrong now even than it did then.

Five goals should be enough to beat the Flyers, not this team.
I'm disgusted.
I'll probably watch the remaining games with contempt only to see Kreider's likely final games in Blue.

Wouldn’t be surprised if Buffalo and/or Anaheim passes us too and Rangers end up 8th or 9th ahead of the draft lotto. Sucks to root for this stuff but it’s where we’re at unfortunately.

Gorton was avg and Drury is bottom 5 at this point. Him and lavy gotta go. Bring in weekes/vally/torts/carle all in some fashion

It wasn't meant to call out the typos it just seemed fitting.. still sad

The worse this last stretch goes the better it is. There can be no doubt left in the minds of management that everything needs to be blown up

Want some more salt in this wound? That conditional 2026 1st round pick that went to Vancouver and was then traded to Pittsburgh looks like it has met the 'conditions'.

The same heart and soul that blew a 2-0 series lead vs NJ, that heart and soul? Oh wait that was Patrick Kane that did that

This is what you guys are missing, that “heart and soul” couldn’t get it done. Drury was just tired of watching them piss away years and this year it came to a head

You even said that on a daily basis for 3 years before this year happen you’ve mastered playing both sides Brukie, well done

Yes I believed that this team had no heart and drive but you are misconstruing that with wanting them to lose. I and others have stated that this core is soft but it appears now that the only thing that held them together was Trouba. I cant as a fan hope this teams wins even if I dont think they can, gotcha!!

Yes this is Drurys fault, he didnt read the room. He didnt understand the importance of the player to his team. Thats on him.

As I stated before, I had thought Drury was an average GM. He made a few good moves, some bad ones, as all GM's do but this guy just blew a season for whatever reason. I dont see how this organization will start to be Cup contenders now going forward. They had a chance and Drury blew it up.

Yes it was Kanes fault. All your clamoring and you got your wish he was traded here and he sucked. The numbers told you something was wrong and they were right. Numbers dont lie.

I could be wrong, but are you looking for a fight?

Agreed. Dolan will fire drury if they lose out. No PO revenue for him

Yea I don’t think Drury is to blame like most people for everything. But the way this team just gave up again down the stretch. The awful coaching. Wasting a year of Gabe to just bench him? Yea I don’t care if they decide to clean house. So much stink in this organization right now

I know Lavi controls lineups but Drury could have demanded we signed Gabe for a reason he needs to play. And if Lavi says no it’s my lineup then Drury should have canned him. By both things not happening yes everyone is at fault for this decision making

You dont have anything to fight about what i wrote, you were wrong about Kane.

I have a hard time blaming Drury because this PP is what cost them a playoff spot. People can blame other things like the defense, goalies, etc..this season never got on track because the PP, which carried them for 3 seasons, was absolutely horrific. All season it was horrific. I mean we said it daily, the rangers are too PP reliant winning games. It hid the warts that it didn’t hide this season.

Thats why relying on specials goaltending does not work. 5v5 play is what wins in rounds 3 and 4. We saw it last year.

Drury constructed a team of players that dont drive play 5v5. Part of that is on him

Kane cost them that series. No one else. Got it

So Drury is trying to fix it lol this season was bound to blow up once last year ended

Yea I am not blaming Drury for everything. The players and coaches suck too. But I am at the point everything just sucks. So if they decide to make a change it wouldn’t bother me anymore

Kane cost them that series. No one else. Got it

No you said Kane was the missing piece, you were wrong.

I dont think anyone is blaming the goalies for this season.

Only a few of us said that relying on the PP is no way to win. You werent one of them.

He’s 5 years into fixing this ……. You’re acting like he got hired last year.

From trading Buchnevich to trading for Kane, the guys a complete moron. The list goes on and on
