Wheelz and Lindy made blood sacrifices…
Kakko keeps shutting up the doomers and haters.
This third line has really been feasting I love it.
Now 8-0 on the year when I go to games, still waiting for my complimentary tickets
The movement in the zone on the Kakko goal was absolutely gorgeous
Can someone finish a Lafreniere high danger pass one time?!?!
Stars fan here and I just want to say congratulations and give Igor the love he deserves. There really ain’t many goalies who can stop 41 shots from the stars. I hope to meet y’all come Play-off time!
Great win but figure out the power play please
Trocheck has been an unstoppable force the past few games.
2 goals and an assist outdoors, and then about 200 shots on goal tonight before finally getting the empty netter.
Guy has been such a great piece on this team. Hard to beleive hes only been here a couple years. It *feels* like he’s been a Rangers Lifer.
I was slightly nervous at 2-1 even though I thought we were playing pretty well overall. Glad we pulled it out. Igor being on his A game tonight was good timing.
Give kreider his goal nhl
Won’t talk to how productive the fourth line will be but the Undertaker and Kane, Brothers of Destruction sure are fun to watch together. They don’t have to really goon it up like Prust or Rupp but just keep throwing those big bodies around.
Feel like it’s time Kakko joins the PK. He seems to be getting real momentum and I’d like to see him get more ice time some way and that’s probably the easiest way. Make him feel more important, more involved, keep him skating, etc.
Extremely well played game where every single player on both teams made a notable contribution, led by Igor. It may have nothing the most emotional game of the year, but it was certainly the best played one overall by both teams
A true privilege to watch
A statement game from Shesty. “I am the Czar here and I will not be unseated.”
Beaten 28/31 teams now this season. Next up: Florida on 3/4 (and St. Louis the game after that).
I was 9 when I fell in love with this team, 1994. I’ve been saying “this is our year” just about every year since then.
With that 0-30 record, I’m proudly declaring again,
This is our year boys.
Islanders went to OT again. They are basically a soccer team lol
8 in a row. Shesty back in form. Solid team win vs an elite opponent.
The only down side to this night is the MTA ALWAYS making the commute home a fucking nightmare. NYC deserves better than this medieval level service.
I have to apologize to Key. He played a hell of a game.
Any chance the league looks at that empty netter at the end of the game? Someone shared a screenshot in r/hockey and it looks like it crossed the line with 0.2 seconds left.
It means nothing for the game result, but goal differential and goals for are both used as standings tiebreakers. It’s highly unlikely it would ever come to that, but…
Didn’t get to watch today but how was the 4th line?
That’s the best we have looked in a long time. A complete game with intensity all 60 minutes. Also probably Igor’s best game of the year as well.
I just want to see Igor shoot a goal. He wants it so bad. I hope I’m watching when it happens.
Stellar win tonight! Igor was all over it and when he wasn’t he was lucky. Huge win! Now go stomp the devils and take a 19 point lead on them in the standings.
Great win where it could have been easily chalked up to a let down game after the emotional performance in the stadium series. Relieving they didn’t let up and keep onto the next game.
8 in a row!
I am not going to rehash the goodrow issues. But tonight he had several shorthanded opportunities that with just a small adjustment with his positioning, timing, or shot that he would be such a valuable asset for this team. I’m really rooting for him to figure this out because with just some small tweaks to his game he could have had a couple goals tonight. It such a shame we can’t find a way to turn his forced turnovers into transition goals.
8 in a row!
What a run. Keep it up boys.
Was at the game. D and Igor looked very good which we didn’t see in January. A smile grows up on my face
What a freaking game from Igor. He looked like a totally different goalie than most starts this year. Rebound control alone was night and day difference. So glad to see he’s clearly feeling good!
Igor had a game. I wish he’d string some games together. Next game is huge against the rats. They got blown up tonight against the Caps. Their fans are on suicide watch.
Ive been to a couple rangers games in other cities but this was my first game in MSG. So happy I got to see such a good game from Igor
Can’t wait to get my Fox jersey signed next week. Maybe Igor, too. But it’s too expensive
Man if that Kreider EN goal counted I would’ve won another like $20
Debbies suck for letting Ovechkin score 2 goals. I hope he doesn’t break the all time goals record.
So nice to see Igor do that live – Panarin has the best hands in the league. The great Russian showman.
Igor was a beast tonight.
So is Shesty gonna Shesty like this for the rest of the season and playoffs? Cuz we can win it all if he Shestys like this.
