This ‘Should’ Terrify The NHL
To go and now Ray the question becomes what happens with New York very disappointing they loaded up at the deadline with veterans thinking they had a potential Cup winning team well it was either going to work or it was going to fail spectacularly and a first round exit is option
B that right there is the moment when the New York Rangers got eliminated in seven games by the New Jersey Devils after loading up at the deadline and being considered cup contend ERS losing to their Rivals was a bitter bitter pill to swallow but after completely revamping their coaching staff and
Bringing in some new faces the Rangers find themselves right near the top of the league and seemingly are a problem for the rest of the NHL looking at the standings and the adjustments that this team has made this Rangers team should terrify the NHL but as we saw last year
Everything Changes in the playoffs after a solid win against the top team in the league in the Boston brues the New York Rangers are once again looking like cup contenders although they’re not first in the league the Rangers have the most regulation wins in the entire NHL but will their style play actually

Excellent video as awesome! Running a great hockey channel over there! The NHL needs more like you!
I still stand by the acquisitions last season for the Rangers. Taresenko and Kane did what they were brought in to do – produce in the playoffs. Check the stats if you disagree. The top guys like Panarin and Mika did not play well and the coaching was brutal with an inability to make adjustments and dictate a more conservative style of play. Additionally, the Devils were a great team and that organization has such an obsession with the Rangers that to them, the series was their Super Bowl! They reached their summit winning that series and collapsed before they faced off against the Canes. I like the Rangers chances this season with an effective team defense carrying them. Too many good teams out there though to truly say anyone is the clear cut favorite.
Day 2 of asking for a vid on the flyers
I’m addicted to this channel
Eh they'll choke like always
i really want to believe that then Rangers can win the Cup with this team…but that losing streak and terrible stretch where Igor looked like a whipped dog and giving up 4+ goals in back to back games had me deeply concerned like the UN. seeing him put together a series of classic Igor performances recently had me hopeful. Last year's Ranger side turned out to be soft. They simply did not become a difficult team to play, they gave up the neutral zone, weren't finishing checks especially when dumping the puck into the zone. This year with kids like Cuylle and Rempe throwing their bodies around, TRochek, Laf and Goodroow being a pests of a fashion is a vibe in it of itself. And seeing Panarim low key drop a career best season leads me to my biggest concern. Our first line has not been our best line for the whole season. Kreider and Zibanijad deliver on PP and PK but at 5v5 they've been failing to make an impact. It is a cliche to say "our best players need to be our best players" but I need to see Kreider and Mika start taking games over going into the playoffs. Those two need to be undeniable. When Panarim has the puck on his stick he instantly feels lethal and defenders immediately get nervous. Mika and Kreider need to capture some of that and I hope Roslavic can help with that. I'd love to see Kakko make that jump and seize the RW1 spot like we all imagined he would but he jsut hasn't. Whether that is due to a lack of opportunity or performance I can't really say. I feel like Kakko gets enough good looks and shifts to justify more than just a few appearances at the first line and that he should be slotted in and worked until it works. Seems like it is too late in the season to make that happen but who knows? I think if the Rangers can lean into a heavier brand of hockey and make life miserable for the opposing team and take away the time and space to make a breakout and yes, the rangers should be terrifying.
Could you do a video about the 2017 eastern confrence final game 7 OTT vs PIT?
More teams need to activate defence men in the game. There's so much talent in d-men today, like Hughs, Makar, Dahlin, Seider, Sandin, Forsling, etc.
Tom Wilson killed this franchise… good luck doing anything – maybe next year they wont be so fucking soft
Rangers ain’t beating Panthers or the Canes! And if Swayman or Ullmark get hot in the playoffs, they’re not even beating Boston! Playoffs are a whole different animal and Panarin has never risen to the occasion let alone carry a team on his back in the second season! And yeah I’m a Devils fan 😂 so of course I’m gonna bash the blueshirt bums lol
I dis like the amount of arrows used
Great video, love the analysis. Even if I watched every single rangers game for the past 13 years, I can never see the game like this. Last year the team felt like they phoned it in all season, like they were expecting playoffs. They always felt like they had another gear to kick into, but they never got there. We loaded up but adding Kane felt really forced and hurt us in the long run. This year feels a lot different. Lots of great moments and great play in general. Panarin has been playing motivated all year and Laf for once we can actually say he has been playing great without making excuses or cherry picking stats. Even when the team has had some slumps, they learned how to rebound from it. I really like adding Wennberg and Roslovic at the deadline and want to beat all these other teams that added big players. Overall I trust this team a lot more than last years team and believe they can take on anyone in a 7 game series.
The whole western conference is just better than the east. If you make it out of the west, you probably win the cup
While I do think the rangers are a good team. I feel as if they just have always had the bruins number and seemingly can never lose to them. However other strong teams in the past have been able to succeed against them and while it does hurt as a b's fan i believe the rangers could sweep the bruins but may struggle against other top teams in the league in the playoffs
As a Ranger fan, i can say that was a great breakdown. But you forgot the fact that Ranger fans are used to dissapointment 😂
I had $100 on rangers ML.
They lost to the caps twice these fuckers are frauds
do one on the preds
Terrify??? Sadly the NHL is so fixed that the NHL will do what ever they can to Never see another CANADIAN TEAM win the CUP….as long as the lil freak is in charge of the league it is nothing but a huge joje!!!
Watching as a nervous Rangers fan.
For April 1st, you should make a video on the Sharks and how great of a team they've been this season. I think it'd be cool to see if it's possible to cherry-pick enough clips of them to make them look like an NHL level team. Let's go Future Stanley Cup champs!
East is a joke.
If Panarin doesn't disappear again, they have as good a chance as anyone.
Stars vid?😢
Goooooooooooooooooo bobcats!.
"Flow…. creativity" 🇺🇸
We will see another repeat of last year. Knights b2b
Another great playoff season coming. The best 8 weeks in all of sports.
LFGR 🗽
Kane is not what the Rangers needed last year. Give Drury credit for getting exactly what NY needed at the deadline (and signing Quick to a super reasonable extension) without giving up a significant draft pick or prospect. Good for now and later, fantastic job.
I'm most encouraged they beat Boston with BOTH Lindgren and Trouba out (both first line D-men). That kind of depth is critical late in the playoffs. Brooks Orpik said it years ago, skill and depth are important but luck is huge in winning a Cup.
"Top team in the league, Boston Bruins." Panthers are more terrifying to me, easily.
NYR FEAR success.
They always have.
This Rangers fan would rather get 2nd in the Metro… I don't want the TBL anywhere near MSG.
I’m gonna be honest, I’ve never seen the Rangers as a playoff threat in my lifetime. Sure, they’ve had a couple runs, but they really have nothing to show for it outside of one Finals appearance where they got their stuff rocked. I don’t think this Rangers team is a serious threat, they’re an overrated big market squad like Toronto.
Did you really do a whole vid on the Rangers and not mention Matt Rempe once OMG how could you.
teams will bait others will find an equalizer
Rangers scoring depth is fragile , why else would they bring in tress w/ limited potential
Atypical, pro-Eastern Conference drivel, especially coming from a youngster. NYR had to hire Oiler mastermind, Glen Sather & 7 Oilers to finally win a Cup. This guy wasn’t even alive when that happened in ‘94.
The real power is in the Western Conference…
🇨🇦
And… you didn't even mention that the Rangers' two best defense players are injured! So, their play is only going to get BETTER as they go! If they can play this amazing with injured players, THAT should terrify the NHL!
❤
It would be great to see a New York vs Vancouver rematch from '94, only this time it's Vancouvers turn to beat the 52 year curse.
Awesome breakdown!
I was at the rangers and jets game. They r at the top of the league rn and they’re a few teams better than them. I think the panthers could be their kyriptonite this year tho for some reason and this is coming from a rangers fan
Gallant made me suicidal
3-2 Final score if we're being honest with ourselves.
Bruins played like shit last night and rangers got two empty netters last night. I don’t see them as cup contenders.
We are really being treated to an amazing season of hockey leauge wide and great content right here
Don't make video's about stupid shit just to make a video. What exactly is it that should 'Terrify" the NHL.Stupid dude .
It’s a biased channel
The east is gonna be a bloodbath and its looking like either the lightning or the flyers right now and both teams terrify me honestly. If the flyers play every game against the rangers like the two they had in philly this year its gonna be a rough time. Also the loghtning are getting hot with nk going nuclear so there are gonna be no easy rounds for sure!
