Please no doomerism tonight. It was the second of a B2B where the team got in at 2AM last night after an extremely chippy and hard fought game against a rival. We were obviously going to play slow this game. A win would have been nice but the most important thing is staying healthy before the playoffs.
Aint even mad. No one got hurt and we got a point out of it. Tarasenko scoring against his old team was sweet as well.
Preparing for the incoming brigade of people crying about losing a traveling back to back. Never change r/rangers lol
I always think we’ll be a good 3 on 3 team. Nope.
I love Miller and am the first to defend him but sometimes shit is just hard to watch. I want to say this is like the 4th time (at least) this season he’s fucked up during overtime directly leading to a loss
Take the point and move on, don’t have any strong feelings of hate towards St. Louis so whatever, thanks for Tarasenko and Mikkola, just have to do better next time 🤝
Not too concerned about this one for obvious reasons. Hope to see a better effort against Columbus
Miller been really playing his way out of a nice contract these past three months
Why does panarin always give us a problem on defense in it?
I know this game doesn’t really matter and the boys were half-asleep the entire time, but fuck, am I tired of losing in OT.
All I have to say is Miller has completely lost his sense of positioning. Dude gets caught somewhere he shouldn’t be almost every night
felt like I was watching an AI simulation of a hockey game compared to last night but glad we got a point
that was the blues’ version of a stanley cup playoff game for the year 2023. we are better than them. we are fine, this was bound to be a loss given the travel and the B2B, winning against tampa was so much more important. goodnight see yall saturday
Well that was lazy
I would like everyone to know there’s a very young girl outside the arena telling Blues fans “We’ll be in but you wont”
Where’s the fast forward button to the playoffs?
Bad turnover there.
Keandre gives a ridiculous amount of 2 on 1s
Kane fuckin lost it
What an asshole
Basically locked into the #3 no matter what at this point. Give the boys a rest the next three games and prepare like hell for New Jersey or Carolina.
Vallys post game is calming.
Some of you here need to watch it and learn.
If the Devils win the next game that locks us up at the 3rd seed. Honestly if I were the Rangers, I’d just try to take it easy for the next few games since it’s clear they’re not getting home ice in the first round. Will be interesting to see if the Canes let up a bit and fall to 2nd though
Vlad is such a nice guy and continues to prove it with every interview. Need to lock him up this summer
This felt like a mix between a preaseason game/ glorified scrimmage and they still found away to tie.Good take aways are the power play is Clicking and they prove time and again they are never out of any game .Let’s just thank god playoff OT is 5v5 I really just wanted this one for Vlady and he played his ass off that goal then the pass to set up Tro Sign him some how please Drury
outside of the kids I would love it if we prioritized tarensako, such a good player all around and I’d be bummed if he ended up a rental
Miller is now good for 1 goal against every single game. Total regression this year, really surprising after last year and the preseason.
[Maybe I’m overusing this clip but its so accurate…](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BfoR8SbFhy8)
We lost 12 games in ot or shoot out this year. That seems like a lot for us.
Not even mad about it. The rest of these games don’t mean a damn thing. On top of that it was a back to back and they had to travel. Let the Blues have their feel good win. Conserve yourselves for the playoffs, and what the fuck is on GG’s face? Shit looks a little too close to the herp, for comfort.
Anyways, onto the next one.
I had a dream last night that I played for the Rangers and Gallant chewed us out after we lost to the Capitals in the playoffs, pretty frightening experience tbh
Two bad giveaways by Bread and Key. Vally said it, 3 on 3 ot doesnt happen in the playoffs. If Bread did that turn over in the playoffs? we(fans) hell even turk should call him out. ooof
Two nice Power play goals from Vova and Trocheck. Get that cooking for the playoffs and watch out. Good Penalty kill tonight.
Not gonna go hard with this recap. After an emotional game like last night, somewhat of a let done. BUT, no one was injured during the game. at this point in the season, can’t afford one. Still, kind of ridiculous that they had to play a back to back in St. Louis. Not the overall reason they lost tonight.
Rangers get the point. But this game was a snooze fest. going through the motions game. Whatever. 3 Games left, play it safe, don’t get hurt, and onto the Jackets.
Just saw the Jeannot injury on the 150…🥴🤢
Sleepy and meaningless game on a back-to-back with travel after a physical game and still managed a point. Not worried about an OTL, glad no one got injured. PP looked good again, maybe keep this together and then PP2 is Kane and the kids?
I posted this in another thread but just to reiterate:
Regulation W-L
Canes: 37-19
Devils: 38-21
Rangers: 36-21
Division is tight when you only count normal games.
Love when All 3 goals for St Louis come off turnovers
As meaningless as it was i had a 6 team parlay and of course the rangers are the only one to come up short. Not gonna be too sour we shouldve had it but game is essentially meaningless and it was nice to come back late i just hope that our absolute atrocious/embarrassing OT play this year doesn’t translate into the playoffs. Yes im being slightly dramatic cause its 3 on 3 but still we should be raking OT this year
Just as an FYI and not to dunk on a kid, but Kravtsov scored his first goal as a Canuck tonight. It was on the PP on a shot that was deflected in by the opposing defenseman. He’s now 1G 1A in 14 games and while he isn’t getting more ice time than when he was on the Rangers, apparently he is getting at least some PP time there. Both points were on the PP and 0 ES points since he’s been there.
It doesn’t mean he can’t turn it around, but the kid is not a finished product and Gallant wasn’t the thing holding him back. Worth keeping that in mind since people were angry he wasn’t getting more playing time and some, me included, were upset at not getting anything in return on the trade.
To be expected after that Tampa win. We did see some tired play, but with flashes of life and they did comeback to tie. Happy for the point. Halak made some really great saves tonight. On to Columbus. We’re in the final stretch – 3 regular season games left. LGR!!!
Poor halak, they play half- assed, garbage defensive structure with the most obscene turnovers you’ll ever see specifically with him in net all the time.
He’s played well enough to have a way better win loss record than he has
T-minus 10 days until the playoffs! Who gaf about the last 4 games.
It would’ve felt way worse if we lost last night with how physical and emotionally charged that game was. There was no world where we’d be 100% after that and a travel day.
I’m cool with the point
