Just want to say this is the best version of the pod. Mollie is on the beat, Larry has tons of insight in his career/sourcing, Boyle played the game. Shit season but really great work.
Agreed. I love Boyle's input.
Mollie is on the beat?? Yeah, she really asks all of the tough questions...lol! Please, she breaks nothing until after Friedman or Weekes.
This podcast is literally all I've looked forward to over the last few weeks 😳
@@Garythefireman66 Amen
If Mika cannot mentally handle playing hockey right now, he needs to be placed into the player assistance program and take time to get his head straight. Ultimately, more important than hockey and his mental state right now is clearly leading to significantly worse effort, preparation, execution, and physicality on the rink.
Agreed. He should take a page from JT Miller. Get his head screwed on and come back roaring. Or just stay home.
I think Mika completed a pass to a teammate last night. Things are looking up.
He also turned one over behind Igor that led to a goal for Chicago
Are you referring to when he hit Kreider in the head with a non-pressured clear up the boards?
Also, fire Phil Housley. He is the defensive coach on a team that plays TERRIBLE defense. That would be a quick warning shot.
Agree!!!🤘
100% Get a guy that played a mean physical game. I wish they hired Scott Stevens. Bring back Ulf Samuelsson. He was there for a stint before. So tired of this teams softness.
@@dumpybear8664 it’s not his fault the team defaults to man on man, they are lazy and unmotivated to play any system other than street hockey
@@steves048you are smoking pole if you think Scott Steven's would coach the rangers...
@@mikenyr4life491 I don't blame any of the coaches TBH. They clearly had the winning formula last year. However, the team needs a shakeup. I new voice in the locker room could help. Give Phil a different job, I don't care... just change something!
I would love for Brian Boyle to speak with this team. His points are on the money.
You can tell he's holding back especially when he says guys need to get out of their comfort zones and play physical. I know he means 93 and 20 and you can definitely add 79. Biggest guy on D and hits, nobody!
I dont recall in almost 40 yrs watching the rangers seeing a team shy away from contact, stick check, and let the other team just skate past them like this team does. As long as they keep doing that, there is no hope for this team.
Stick checking observers.
It's disgusting. They traded Gartner for that same reason. I'm all for trading anyone without a clause. Beef up that D. They're too damn small.
Tough to watch this team sleepwalk through the past 3 weeks, especially last night! Their best player, lately, is Cools (imo). Somehow it needs to be made clear to everyone in the room - play like this or find yourself on the bench. Drury needs to act quickly before the season gets truly out of hand! Come on boys…
Mika and KAM need to be healthy scratched for a game or 10, they play with no urgency and seem scared to have any physical contact.
Absolutely need to be benched
Mika And Miller have attended the Daniel Jones school of mental toughness.
Jones is a great skater, smart player. Learn hockey healy!
@@johnrwalker53the jones on the Rangers is Zac jones, he’s referring to the football player. YOU learn hockey bud
@@christianseibert9953 Ha,ha got me, hope you're not a Giants fan.
My favorite rangers podcast - great stuff!
Luv u 3! I look forward to this every time and ya'll do such a great job!
For me, the moment that symbolized this Rangers team is the first goal they given up in game 7 of the 2023 series against Jersey, the shorthanded goal scored by Michael McLeod. A real horror show where Ondrej Palat outplayed Kreider, Fox(specially those two) and Zibanejad. I know the Rangers reached the semi-finals the year before and the year after but that play(and the way they lost that series) says it all.
I just finished talking to a high ranking Ranger official who revealed to me that the Rangers spoke to Shane Pinto and another player!
There is more than meets the eye here. Something within the organization and team mates has the players not happy what's so ever they are playing with no intensity or consistency.
Maybe it’s being in NY and the passionate fans and the expectations of greatness. It’s a privilege to play for this team. START ACTING LIKE IT!!!
Give the C to Panarin
I miss the time when the Rangers played hockey like a NHL hockey club. There is a disease in the locker room and it's spreading slowly and efficiently.
Great talk, thanks!
Trouba knew he had no future in New York, and if you've ever been in a job where you know you're going to be forced out in the near future, you know what that feels like. It's very difficult to give your all, no matter how much you're making.
Trouba said see ya I’m out
Which is exactly why/how Drury failed and should be the next fired. Trouba (as I call him, Capt Screw’d Ya) should NEVER have been there from the start of the season!🤦♂️🤬
This team and this organization are GARBAGE!!!! Stop the season tickets and corporate boxes and see how fast things will change!!!
'You love to have talent.... but you need a work ethic and forecheck...." That's what Gerard Gallant said after Gme 7 loss to jersey in 2023. NJ was 110 pt team. Drury went and got lame (hip) old, no defense Patty Kane and Tarasenko for playoff run when we needed grit. Then fired Gallant cuz Mika, et al, complained 'they needed to get coaching". THEY DON'T LISTEN TO COACHING! They do what they want.....all on the outside, globetrotters hockey. No forecheck, no backcheck....
Now look where we are.....
Their weakness has been obvious going back to 2024 playoffs. They gave-up 70 shot attempts against Carolina and 90+ against Florida. That equates to easy entries and extended shifts by both Carolina and Florida in the Ranger D zone...and nobody forechecks or plays tough along the boards. Now they can't pass or defend open ice. A bunch of slugs.
One fix won't change everything, but I think putting Laf on line 1 with Kreider and Zib could help them to produce. He's been one of the best players for the past 2 seasons and could change the chemistry on that line. A bit of physicality on D wouldn't hurt either if Mackey and Mancini worked together as a pairing
The day after the Rangers lost the ECF against the Panthers I was thinking about a blockbuster trade for Brady Tkachuk.
The Rangers are a team built with skills and good goaltending. The missing piece is obviously, as Brian put it, "abrasiveness". And they need it badly.
So, of course they should target that guy like Florida did with his brother.
If Florida did it, why the Rangers can't?
That guy would change the whole complexity of this soft team. He's also only 25.
@@steves048 Yes he would!
Can you guys talk about the fans, on an upcoming show?
I went to a game at the Garden this year for the first time since moving away from the area. I've never heard fans expect that much while cheering that little. The garden has turned into a crappy social event instead of a place to watch hockey. The real fans are priced out, the people who do spend that ridiculous amount of money aren't even exited to be there. I was the only person cheering in the entire *section*.
Lets hold the fans to the standard that they hold the team. At the end of the day I wouldn't feel like giving my all for fans who boo their team in a one-goal game.
I'm going to call BS on the tough to lead comments that he made. A really good leader would have said let me show you what I can do and then I still have this team and they still have my back. He did none of that this year from all appearances and it had to come to a head. Now I know Drury said he wants to let the dust settle well that was before the Seattle game and the Chicago game. He has to make moves now Miller has to go.
The sooner they punt, the quicker they can retool and prepare for next year. Stop waiting. Miller, Lindgren, Kreider, Smith, Kaako, Carrick, Vesey could all be valuable pieces to trade. If by the grace of God we could get rid of Mika, do that too. Call up Rempe, Harpur, Ruhwedel...etc. Let Berard, Cuylle, Edstrom play bigger roles to fill the gap. Use the rest of the year to give experience to the young guys. Remember, even at this teams best THEY AREN'T GOOD ENOUGH.
Great points
I can't stand watching keandre Miller play anymore he is the laziest defenseman I've ever seen that I've been watching hockey for 50 years I've never seen anybody with such a non-compete level and inability to hit someone it's just incredible is team is so soft I have never watched hockey like this I mean there's nobody playing hard on this team besides will cullye.. you need to team players meeting there's no effort this team is so soft and it's very frustrating to watch
@ Miller has been a huge disappointment. I think he hit his ceiling two years ago and he’s on his way back down. Unless he gets traded to another team that can motivate him. I’m sick of him too.
Miller said show me the money or I’m out
@@dumpybear8664miller is definitely falling off the ledge. Mentally he probably cries himself asleep. OR he just doesn’t care (which I think is a serious problem with the crappy core we have here)
Steven Stamkos? There is a reason why TB gave up on him. 4 years and $32M. No. 34 years oid. No.
Pretty sure Stamkos deserves that but okay.
@@BrownKnee666 TB didn't to pay him. The Rangers don't need a 34 year old guy signed for three more season at $8M per, Okay.
LB is spot on with the lack of physicality. Mika needs to toughen up and stop being sensitive and soft. Kreider needs to step up and put someone through the boards. Is he supposed to be a leader? He should turn in that "A" and so should the others. Boiler is also right in saying someone needs to sit a period or a game. Enough already!
Larry should have worn a Sens cap.
Anything but what he wore for this podcast. He looked silly with his wool hat. ;) But I see what you did there. :)
This team is givin me the agida!
I have been going to Ranger games for over 50 years . Bad Ranger teams were better than this team . I almost feel they are losing on purpose . No fight no one seems to be upset about losing . They are boring . They have turned into the new Fat Cats. The term given to the Rangers after they lost to the Isles in 1975 . Maybe they are spoiled too much . No trade contracts nice hotels on the road model girlfriends great fans these guys lose every puck battle along the boards . They don’t hit . They don’t go in front of the other teams net . To start Mika should sit . Miller wastes his size . Make him a forward . Change the PP . Do something got gods sake .
Larry never misses an opportunity to try and highlight that he was right. Sure Larry - you’ve been telling us all along that this and that would happen. So pompous for a guy who never played. Hard to stomach at times.
Remember Kris Knoblauch? Remember how well Hartford was doing under him? Remember the few games he coached NY? Remember Edmonton's awful start last year? Remember who they hired and what happened immediately?
Thanks for the analysis! Just a quick off-topic question: My OKX wallet holds some USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (alarm fetch churn bridge exercise tape speak race clerk couch crater letter). How can I transfer them to Binance?
We need to send a stern message to Mika. Scratch him a game or two
2nd best PK in the league, insane off-puck movement, and had a handful of assists.
How about we scratch you for being a fair weather whiny baby fan, instead of an adult that believe in their team and cheers them on?
@@YeahRightMCD or face reality and see we lost 8 out of 10 last games and lost to the worst team in the league
@TheSealsMen You're right. Screw being positive in the face of adversity. Let's just complain until actual people lose their jobs because we depend fiercely on grown men playing a fucking game for any glimmer of hope in our week.
Ahahahahahhaha
@ yes when something stops working you have to change and not hope it suddenly starts working again after it stopped
Brian Boyle should be a candidate for a coaching job with the Rangers just in case something opens up. He knows his sht
Nice job team, but for all the transpired over the last week would have loved to have more content.
Good point! I agree!
Enough is enough!!! Hire Messier as Team President and Quenneville as Head coach. Proven winners and they know what ingredients it takes to win a Stanley Cup. I really don't care if Messier hasn't had a front office job. He knows hockey and knows how to win.
Exactly. Whoever complains about Messier and experience works some shit job in their life and thinks sitting on their ass all day is "experience." Sports is unlike any other job.
@@TheFaustianMan
That’s why Gretzky was an amazing coach right?
Experience on the ice doesn’t equate to administration and all the shady nuances that come with it. I mean Drury had so-called experience/has been behind the scenes in the organization since he stopped playing and look at his disastrous display.🤷🏽♂️🤦♂️
I wonder why Messier isn’t involved in the coaching…does he not want to coach?
As a Rangers fan, some of our fan base are so smooth brain I wonder how they wipe their own asses. Messier isn't a fix for this organization. Just stop it. He was a great captain on ice, there is NOTHING to cite regarding success in a management position. Again, just stop it. Not to mention, there is no indication that Messier is even in the market for such a position. I repeat, he is not a fix.
Drury just ripped off Anaheim for a washed up overpaid defender. Lavy has been to 3 Cups. The leadership is fine. The issue is the vets on this team are entitled babies and they have an uber talented flake playing 20 minutes a game and costing them 1/2 goals every night.
While I understand it and know that it will never change, I’m tired of the same old trope that athletes put out with disdain whenever they’re unhappy with a roster move… “Well, at the end of the day, it’s a business”. That is a complete mischaracterization of the job that owners and general managers have to do in a tight cap sport.
Coaches and players play a game for a living and when they don’t produce, there are consequences. Make no mistake that general managers, who make a lot less money than players and coaches, are also playing a game, and when they fail to perform there are direct consequences. A GM is charged with the task of strategically distributing a finite budget to put the puzzle pieces together with the goal of bringing a championship to the franchise. And if they fail to do so, they lose their job and their income. Meanwhile, coaches and players can get fired or released and still keep all or a portion of their 7 or 8 figure income. They take it personally when they think they are worth more than the GM is able to pay and completely discount the incredibly complicated maneuvering a GM must do. Just look at the massive obstacle that Drury has to work around with a #1 center is taking up over $8 million of the cap and playing like a minor leaguer that wouldn’t even make the team. He can’t trade him, he can’t send him to the minors, and he can’t release him without 90% of his contract still counting against the cap. I’ve heard that some players are upset over how Goodrow and Truba were handled. If Mika or Kreider or any other entitled players are quitting on the team because they’re upset at necessary roster moves, perhaps they should reevaluate their own contracts to allow for more money to be passed around…which, of course would never happen. Athletes act like management is cold-hearted and only about the bottom line when in fact, they are simply playing the game within the game in a hard cap system. A game that has real life consequences when they don’t perform. It’s time for the players to pull up their big-boy pants and recognize that they’re supposed to EARN their massive contracts and understand that the whole organization is playing a game to win the ultimate prize.
Jacob Trouba needed to be traded. Just watching the postgame interviews, you could tell how deflated this team looks and is, I can only imagine how bad it must be if people have access to speak with the team. Mika should be scratched, he is a sensitive individual from all accounts, but he is way to much in his head. Miller wanting a Significant pay raise is laughable and I honestly think he would be a prime trade target. We need a leader who has won before, Stamkos fits the bill, but is he over his prime? More trades i think will happen, its just a matter of when at this point.
Cuylle plays like a leader. Hope the Rangers coaching staff doesn't ruin Mancini with the stick check keep the puckhandler wide mentality that is the way they have changes Lindgren and Schneider now into. Those 2 hit puckhandlers, with good old hip checks, entering the zone now they turn their body so they can poke at the puckhandler and keep them towards the boards as they chase them around the zone. That is the best way for Fox and Jones. But Not guys who can use their bodies. You have to teach a player to use their strengths not make cookie cutter defense. Miller was never a hitter and should be taught how to use his size. And it doesn't look like this team wants any of their D-Men to play physical.
How come no one mentions K Millers horrible play for the last couple of years. He is constantly out of position and giving up the puck leading to goals.
Take a wild guess..
@@mikeb3216 I see what you did there and you are onto something. ;)
@@aryusure1943 Take a listen to Spittin' Chiclets
Larry Brooks was on and gave reasons with K Miller. I just listened to the podcast. Miller doesn't have much value.
I'm a NYR since 1976 and I've seen coaches & GM's fired. Never have have I seen a GM send the Capitan packing - NEVER ! You Wanna Give The NYR's Pulpous ? FIRE CHRIS DRURY !
Tuba is the 3rd Captain in a row to be sent packing.
@@SFLET-up9llit's a little bit different they wanted to get rid of Trouba. McD was traded because he had value and we were going nowhere. Cally was a FA and we couldn't come to a deal.
They didn't embrace coaching or structure, Larry. They rode a PP which has largely been nullified because it's as predictable as the sun rising and Goaltending, as they have for the last 3 decades. Igor/Quick can't stop 40 SOG every night, many high quality.
this year is crazy...to much lose at home 🤦♂come on guys next year winning streak LGR!! 💙💪 more fight more team spirit
Drury will throw laviolette under the bus wait and see
lyon, he just signed Laffy to a new contract.WTF are you talking about?
I wish that Laf would step up and take advantage of this opportunity and make it his team by showing that passion and fire he played with in juniors. In understanding that this is the NHL and not juniors and that he's no longer a man amongst boys, he most certainly couldn't have lost all of his compete and profound will that he was known for...an elite grinder. I feel as if he was "neutered" stylistically and lost his identity...perhaps indirectly by the "veteran leaders" of the team, and was afraid to step on toes as the new kid on the block. Agree that the core needs to go. Zib if possible but tough with NMC, Kreider, K'Miller should be the first in line. Move out the "Huberdeau" archetypes (who is a nice player but wont drag you into the fight) for the "Fiala/Benn" archetypes (who rarely lose a battle and will.)
Laf is compromised. It's too late. He was exposed to too much mediocrity. That's why you have to be very careful building a dynasty and who you let near your team and the inner circle
Do you think Drury has to call for a meeting with each player individually as to what is the problem?
Drury’s the LAST person that should even be here!😫🤦♂️🤬
This is a leader problem Someone needs to call each one of these clown out
@@michaelmarro1011 I agree and disagree, they are professional Hockey players with a big salary and nothing to show for it. You don't just play the game and pretend you are working your ass off to score. Leadership right now with no captain falls in the hands of the coaches unless there is a player that is gonna take the team as a whole and tell them how he feels about the Bulls__t that's going on and i am surprised that no one has caught this several weeks ago because i sure did and i called it a MUTINY against management.
The only way youove Mika is to move Kreider. Mika doesn't stay without him IMO
Maybe call up rempe and play him on regular line he will cause havoc in front of opponents net and has swag
I didn't see Trouba's helmet throw as a projection of leadership. More like a temper tantrum. To me he was struggling in that game, he was getting beat by puckhandlers, so he went into his chickenwing checks. Toews then challenged him. Yes this team plays soft. But temper tantrums is not leadership. His actions never helped bring about an ingrained philosophy that the team ever stuck with. Because lashing out isn't the same as creating an aura of confident toughness and grit that could be followed. I never saw Trouba grab and throttle an opposing teams "Tom Wilson" after that guy took a cheap shot at a team mate. To me that would give your team more confidence to hit, knowing your Big Captain had your back. Like a Jamie Benn does. 99% of Trouba's fights were in Self Defense of himself. His last fight as a Ranger was the only time I saw him square off without himself being attacked or harassed, and he had to defend himself.
NYR should go after Rasmus Andersson from Calgary. Good fit.
Nic Ehlers from Winnipeg too.
The Igor deal is a terrible deal. 11.5 is too much for a goalie, he isnt the best goalie in the league he is an older goalie and the contract cant be traded or bought out. I would rather spend that money on forwards than spend that money on a goalie.
I just hope Mika is able to get up for the DJ gigs because this hockey thing might be too physical for him.
I'm not sure he has the muscle tone to spin records full time either.
See you next year folks. We're going to go from winning the president's trophy to not even making the playoffs. Just watch. Sure we locked in the best goalie in the league for the next 8 years but that's all we have right now. I was at that game yesterday and was one of the worst performances I've ever seen out of them. The only one who looked like he was giving it all out there was Panarin. Something absolutely has to be done about Mika. He's -14 now and the first goal against was 100% his fault. It's almost like half the time he's on the ice something bad happens. Something is seriously wrong with this dude. I don't know if it's lack of focus or lack of effort or both but we can't keep pushing him out there like he's going to do anything positive for us. He's done almost nothing since the playoffs last season.
NYR please make a trade with Boston. Take anyone you want. Seems both teams have fallen off a cliff. Good luck with your goalies contract. Just like Swayman in Boston, it'll probably bite you.
The beginning of this demise happened when Drury sided with the underachieving core of this team and fired Coach Gallant after the players QUIT in the playoffs. Easy "fix", fire the coach and fix nothing !
ZibaniBad needs to go. Said it all year last year He's a Tripod out there. Have him join the NY Ice Capades. He can have fun skating.
Its time for a rebuild. They've proved they cant win a cup with the current core of players. They have no identity, they're not a speed team and they're not physical.
Until this organization brings in the personnel who will make the neutral zone as well as the Rangers defensive zone very uncomfortable places for the opposition to be in this team is going nowhere. No one gets uncomfortable thinking about playing the Rangers. No one. And, on the front end there needs to be more of a willingness to play in the slot, behind the net and in the corners. The will to go hard to the net. Do the necessary dirty work. It doesn’t seem to be there with this roster.
Get rid of Drury Now !
Yep. No one to provide some hits. BB’s got it right, no physicality. So mind boggling how all these guys with all this talent look like they don’t even care to be there/play. 😢
It comes down to one thing . Was Trouba a real professional? Clearly not
The Sabres were salivating? Get a clue Mollie.
WE REALLY NEED HE WHO SHALL NOT BE NAMED HAHA
LGR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This team is a shell of themselves. They play sloppy, undisciplined hockey. They need a real shake up and not sure this coach is the best choice
Trouba is not a physical player. He throws a big hit once every ten games in between his Jackson Pollock Imitations Worst captain in recent memory. This grown man making $8mil tried to sabotage a season because the Org wanted to move on. Let that sink in.
This does not look like the same team as last year. Something is very wrong within the organization and i’m pretty sure it’s Drury ! Get rid of this guy NOW
They dropped their two toughest players and they’re still not tough, what gives?
Mika should talk to JT Miller or Aaron Rodgers. Either take a personal mental recharge or some ayahuasca
Like brooksie said frail menality, from drury down!!!
And nobody in the group is speaking up and denying Larry's allegations. Fragile, Sensitive, Frail...etc, A real leader would step up and address those allegations and fire back. The fact that nobody is saying anything, tells me that Larry is 100% right.
Mollie, you're a GREAT reporter, but the Rangers are IMPORTANT to ALL of us. PLEASE STOP LAUGHING & SMILING!
Bro she’s a happy person, go kick rocks.. U rock Mollie, don’t worry about this guy who clearly wasn’t hugged enough as a child
@@JayC-ld2rd I LOVE Mollie. I'm just a disgusted Rangers fan! lol
Drury is starting to have that clueless Aaron Boone look on his face... incompetent pretender !
Trouba chose his family? No one was trying to take away his family. What a bunch of horse 💩
"it weighed on his leadership" - That's some expert analysis, Mollie. I wonder if he had trouble mixing paint together too...
Soft tampering, brilliantly coined by Molly.
You traded a guy who makes 8 million for somebody I never heard of who stinks
Then they’re still completely even cause they were paying 8 million to a guy you HAVE heard of and there’s DEFINITELY no doubt he stunk!🤬👎
No Rempe. No interest. Sure, he'll never be confused with Eric Lindros in his prime ... but at least he'll throw the body, show some freakin' energy, and beat an occasional guy's ass every once in a while.
These Dopes are sleepwalking through the season.
Enfuse some grit and passion already !!!
Listening to Boyle's reaction about physicality and his comments as if this a recent problem. Where have you been:? What team have you been watching for 4 years?
Been a fan since 75....this team absolutely sucks...pls stop pushing anything positive on this shit show
Been a fan since the epic semi final against the Flyers in 1974 (we're old) and I agree with you. They seem to have decided to go through the motions for whatever reason they share between them in the locker room. They know what's wrong. They just will never be honest about it, of course.
Hence the depressing cliches after each bad performance.
Like you, I'm out of positive vibes. They are .500 at home and the schedule has been the easiest I saw for a very long time.
@aryusure1943 JP beat us in OT in 75
@@John-ny5vh Yeap! He scored at 11 seconds of the first OT if I remember correctly. ;) The first of many disappointments in the playoffs but I was very young and naïve at the time and full of hope. :)
I ended up counting how many semis they reached over the years instead of counting Stanley Cups. :(
@aryusure1943 of course the dale Rolf/dave Schultz issue had to be delt with...with the likes of Nicky fotiu...Dean the hulk Turner...frank seldom beaton...
@@John-ny5vh Fotiu, I get it. But I had to google Turner and Beaton who had a cup of coffee with the Rangers and I'm generous. More like a sip of coffee to be honest. ;)
Play rempe !
You're everywhere, Miss Rempe.
You guys are all crazy, just like most of the NYR TH-cam channels. We played a very good game against Chicago, Quickie just had a rough night. No moves will be made off of this game and I see the light at the end of the tunnel. We won the President's Trophy last season with a lesser team. Once we find a way to bump-up Berard in the lineup and get Othman up, we will be just fine. Miller, Mika and Lindgren will be just fine. Smith has to go...Berard or Othman will take his spot and the other will play RW on the 4th. Stop whining.
Tell us you know nothing of Hockey not by telling us you know nothing of Hockey.
@@TheFaustianMan ...you will see.
@@TheFaustianMan I will remind you of your post for the remainder of the season...
Your optimism is naïve at this point. And it was Shesterkin in goal against the Black Hawks to begin with. Quickie had a rough night against Seattle but that game was under control and they blew it.
The only way this season is salvaged is if the "leaders" on this team show up. So far they don't seem to be willing to do so. It's obvious.
@@aryusure1943 There is one.
Listening to Mollie make excuses for Trouba is disgusting. The man was making 25-30% more then he was worth. Not an ounce of sympathy.
Hey Larry and Mollie, why don't you guys actually ask tough questions of Coach L?? I mean, someone overheard Mollie asking a player what their "favorite city was", I mean, good grief! How about why 93 is still in the top 6 and on the PP when he is woefully bad and not even trying at times. He literally gives pucks away leading to opposition goals every game...there are other young players that deserve his spot, and it NEVER gets asked. You guys are just cucks.
These questions need to be asked point blank. Coach needs to call people out. I feel like he is heading this way, with his statements after the game against Chicago
The 3 stooges. Drury can do no wrong, right Larry? Remember when you said that after the One-legged Kane trade? You guys have waxed Drury's behind since he got here. Clown show
Sounds like we are already missing Jacob trouba. Sounds like fans and orgnzaiton want to eat the cake and keep it whole. #Delusional
Hey Molly I respect you a lot but I don't know if it was a great move cuz I'll tell you why they should have maybe waited till the trading deadline and see where they're at and then maybe sign Igor I don't know maybe you're right maybe you should sign him and you get it over with and done but I'll be honest with you he hasn't played well lately the golden Taylor Hall scored I thought was lame I thought he played that terribly
When the Rangers lose in the playoffs..... they always come back rejected like lost puppies. It happens over and over. If you run it back after losing the conference finals you deserve what you get.
Their mental toughness is non existent. Drury missed the signs this summer. 🏒♥️🍸
This team is certainly mentally weak , almost like 4 year olds
You have to get rid of drury he is clueless but in his defense this team plays like a bunch of bums I have never seen such soft hockey in my entire life it is dreadful to watch the stick checking and the dancing around nobody wants to hit anybody the stupid waving of the sticks and I can't stand it watching them play they're never in the other teams chase the other team all over the ice and chase them and chase them and chase them this coach I don't know what to say
Been saying for years, they are a bunch of wusses. Need team toughness, not bring in one guy and think it’s gonna change. First change, dump Drury. He has no clue. Last Ranger team that had team toughness was under Keenan. Gee, guess what happened, they won a cup. They need to draft with a different philosophy.
