As a lifelong rangers fan, I cannot think of another time when we've hit a wall this hard. From ECF contender level hockey to barely functional in ~15 games. Ouch...
Thank you for providing this knowledge, it’s so interesting to see as a non expert. It also makes it much more interesting to follow the NHL season as a european. Thanks again!
Honestly, I don't see why a GM would publicly say he's open for business when the team is winning games, even if the play they're winning with looks bad. If there are a few problem guys, maybe you quietly shop those guys around. If you don't know who the problem guys are, maybe you call the coach in for a meeting to see if he's got a better read on it. But saying you're open for business is basically telling your team that you don't believe in them, and the only way that inspires guys to do better is out of spite.
Jets fan here so take my opinion with a grain of salt I feel like everyone is just slightly overreacting to the rangers. Sure this is a rough patch, but even the best teams will hit one every now and then. Just last year they made it to the conference final with pretty close to the same roster. They’ll get over their hump here and get back into a playoff spot. They just need to figure out what’s hindering them and work on it.
Im so glad i found this channel during the playoffs. I love your analysis and the weekly recaps are "chefs kiss". I stopped following hocket for years, but this is the first season in awhile im hooked to
The gm destroyed the team morale and now the locker room and culture is probably broken. They had a hot start to the season and then this drama happened.
@ I’m not a NYR fan but they started 12-4-1. They have just gone 3-11 so there was a clear flip in records. I disagree that a few wins explain the 12 wins which is more than their losses.
@DeadPixel27 they did and didn't. They technically tried to speed it up by getting Trouba and signing Panarin. That's honestly where they shot themselves in the proverbial foot.
Yes, this is a superb analysis. Defense is horrendous...the team is disjointed. It is on players and coaches alike but mainly coaches for not correcting it or punishing repeat offenders (93)
This is the result of two things: 1) Sky-high expectations for a roster that’s very good, but not elite among its NHL peers. 2) A front office that’s trying too hard to leave its mark.
Thank you for covering my flub ...i mean club. Wish it was in happier times. I got a lot of hate mail after the first week when i said : we should reset the lines and bring in D asap. Now its all coming true. Somehow they cant play a simple box amoung other things. Drury's faith is blowing up in his face and the players are pissing in his pocket while whistling Singing in the Rain. Great job HP Happy Christmas! 🏒🎄🍸
Can they figure it out and be competitive again like last year’s Oilers? Part of why they were so bad at the start of last season was also a switch from man-on-man to hybrid, but they figured it out and have been much better defensively ever since.
Great Video. I have no idea on what went wrong. I've never seen anything like this. Is it the moving of Goodrow & Others, that are doing better with their new teams?
I would like to apologise to rangers fans. After supporting the Arizona coyotes for a few years i obviously had to choose a new team… guess i am a not so lucky charm
yes because when old men retire teams should be gifted the cup. This doesn't make anything worse. Ove the course of his career they were both fantastic and terrible.
@@ItotheCtotheE nobody said anything about being gifted the cup.... He's referring to the complete lack of effort in what is Sam's last season and he's absolutely right. It's a disgrace! Sam deserves better!
Trouba must've had that locker room. He was was captain and they traded him coldy to Anaheim of all places... this is a mutiny for management disrespecting their captain imo
When everyone gives their absolute all, all the pieces fall into place and you even got some luck on your side, yet you are still eliminated in the conference finals, what other conclusions can you draw, but that you just simply don't have what it takes to go all the way? I think it's just that simple. They proved to themselves that it's all just a futile effort unless there are major changes in the team composition.
Major concern has been that the players have chosen to point fingers to DRURY rather than their play. I don’t like my boss, so I am going to quit giving the effort necessary can never be rewarded. Players need to go from the core of experienced players that allowed this to happen. That was not Trouba, he was still giving the effort. But, paying top dollar for a third pairing defenseman, is not doable and DRURY made the right move to get out from under that contract. Coaching has been good and the decision to move to a hybrid model of zone play shows they are engaged and working to adapt to the changing NHL. It’s not DRURY, not the coaches, it wasn’t Trouba - it’s the core of Zibanejad and Kreider).
I’m not a big rangers fan, but I do follow them off and on; I tuned in to the game against Nashville because I thought for sure that, despite the recent struggles, they’d at least be able to beat the preds 🤷♂️ That loss almost needs to be dissected, analyzed and preserved for posterity. I haven’t had a ton of game watching time this year since I’ve taken up playing in two different hockey leagues this year (learning to play goaltender at 44 is a hellova lot more physically challenging that I thought it was going to be😂), but it almost feels like everyone we saw doing great in the playoffs last year has struggled a lot more than expected. Then you’ve got Winnipeg coming outta nowhere with that bonkers streak they had, who saw that coming?
Still like 50 games to go. I find it hard to believe the Rangers won't figure it out by then. They have the talent in the room and Shesterkin is a rock.
4:49 *FLORIDA* gains the line? What part of Florida is Calgary, Alberta in? 🤔 The last time I checked, it’s -26° out, not 26° out. Wrong side of the continent, bud. The black jerseys are the Flames Blastys.
The contract to the goalie will haunt them. Mind blown that they gave him those numbers in the midst of a free fall. Regardless of how bad the team is a goalie with that contract should not be 37th in g.a !!!! MIND BLOWN
Maybe it was the wrong move to announce that they were going to trade Jacob Trouba and Krieder at least they were at a 12-6-2 record prior to the noise not that bad now the GM ruined the team chemistry with that announcement horrible decision.
This is what happens when you rely on the image of playing in nyc to attract free agents rather than actually developing talent. Once you find out what MSG replaced it loses all it luster. Bring back old penn station
The Rangers are a good franchise having a bad run. The Sabres are broken. Want to know what pain is? Talk to one of their fans. You’ll hear things you wouldn’t believe.
@@nickstevens4482 gonna assume you’re a fan of a rival team or you just hate the Rangers. Just stick to your team’s business, we’ll stick with ours because as you can see, we got a dumpster fire to fucking deal with. Sometimes I wonder why I do this to myself…
This is really interesting - a great explanation and breakdown of what has been happening to the Rangers in the last few weeks: of how a system breaks down when players don't buy in.
Shesterkin overpaid. After he rejected their first offer, they should have lowered the offer to prove a point. Nobody is safe. nobody is guaranteed. He's over hyped
I think star goalies are not worth the juice. See how good Vegas did after getting rid of Fleury? I would rather have a mid goalie and more line depth than a star goalie.
3-11-0 in their last 14, including losses to Chicago and Nashville. I wouldn't be surprised if they fire Lav. As a Devils fan, the drama is just as delightful as the actual losing. Objectively, between the Rags, Sabres, and Preds, I think the Rags have the best chance to turn things around. Drury is at least looking to be proactive, unlike the Sabres guy. And we're seeing teams like Ottawa and Pittsburgh turn around lousy and disastrous seasons, respectively.
To all the Ranger haters in here...keep spewing your garbage...i love it!!! Just keep in mind, "you have to lose, to learn how to win". It wont happen this year, but we'll be back
The ducks are getting carried by their goalie this year and it isn't working. There was a lot more than getting carried by a goalie. Unless it's 2015 carey price, you aren't getting carried by a goalie to the conference finals.
The probability of Matt Rempe saving this roster is akin to the probability that you, MWBOOKS, can write a seven-word sentence in English without making multiple grammatical errors.
How is he going to do that? Hid probability of scoring is the same as his probability of actually winning a fight. JK but memes like Rempe are not going to help this sinking team.
Turns out your goalie can't do everything, it was bound to happen eventually, this squad couldn't figure out an AHL goalie in playoffs 2 years ago and were carried by Igor last year in playoffs, it's the reality check those frauds deserve
I am thoroughly enjoying this. Seeing this team crumble is making me so happy. The fan base is probably just a bunch of Islander fans that got tired of watching that team sink after the early 80's. And sprinkle in a bunch of New York wannabe's that have to live in New Jersey because that's all they can afford. Looks good on them.

How not to inspire a team, say you do not like the team when they are winning, and then tell everyone.
Honestly, I don't see why a GM would publicly say he's open for business when the team is winning games, even if the play they're winning with looks bad. If there are a few problem guys, maybe you quietly shop those guys around.

This is on Drury, his handling of the team during a mild road bump turned into a nightmarish nosedive.

And that's in comparison to NASHVILLE

This season has been painful to witness it's like everyone has got their number this year

Not to be that person but the stat at 1:19 is wrong- they’ve only played one game into overtime, that being the home opener.

Nowhere near as bad as Buffalo or Nashville's situation 💀💀💀
