Oh no the anthem is going as well as our season
You can tell the obnoxious rangers fans are in the crowd with all the hooting and hollering during the national anthems.
That was really not good
For the live of God can we stop picking our Anthem singer based on how rich they are. She’s awful
Oh honey.
That was a bad start 😕.. how do you mess up both anthems
Just seeing Krebs’ name on the back of his jersey in that goathead typeface makes me want to throw down.
*GIVE ‘EM THE BUSINESS VACLAV POWER!*
The only reason I miss buffalo is because I want to fill the arena. I actually don’t even particularly like going to the games more than watching at home don’t get me wrong both are good but it’s disheartening seeing so many other fans all the time.
Fuck the Rangers, fuck the Islanders, fuck the Jets, fuck the Giants, fuck the Pats, Let’s go Buffalo
Keys to the game: defense
TT has been a disaster with turnovers in our zone the last few games
Let’s think positively for a moment, what if that terrible anthem singer is a good luck charm so the boys can start winning at home? Then they can keep bringing her back every night.
Holy fuck the Rags fans invaded today
Greenway is a 4th liner idk why he’s playing 1st.
I see that a bunch of folks from Poughkeepsie and Albany who went to NYU for one semester showed up in Rangers jerseys today.
My goodness, we are turning it over on almost every possession.
Tuning in for a period or two of this, then going to see Crunch vs. Ameriks later
Gonna be one of those games eh ref?
Fucking Stevie Wonder would’ve seen that slash
What a surprise, the refs ignoring a penalty.
So we are 5-17-2 in our home jerseys and RR, and 8-1 in the goatheads. Why are we even wearing the Blue and Gold jerseys at this point?
Add insult to injury he’s even bleeding so they missed a double minor.
So sick of the non calls.
i’m not tryna blame everything on the refs but there’s another missed call, should’ve been a double minor
If you were to tell me the same guy coached our team defense for the last decade I’d fully buy it… The faces have changed alot over the years but the result has never changed. I don’t need to play like NYI but for the love of God .. Two G have left here to become vienza winners in that time. No one has a chance in front of this team
If the NHL truly wanted to they could completely remove human error from officiating. But they clearly don’t want to because that would make it impossible to influence games. So until they fix the horrible refs I’m going to be a tin foil hat conspiracy theorist.
I just be using this game as an excuse to hit some dabs anyway. Ultimate chill game.
