Between top picks that haven’t developed, veteran/elite players that can’t produce in the playoffs, coaching changes, GM changes, you name it… I feel like we’ve tried just about everything to produce a Cup-winning team on paper, but it just doesn’t pan out. But that really just goes to show the nature of this game, which is that you can’t solely rely on what *should* work… you also have to account for the intangibles. Hell, the biggest turning point this year was when the captain finally threw his helmet. But how long did we go without a captain, before that? I propose it’s time we also finally joined the rest of the league in what we’ve been sorely lacking: a mascot
Now, you might scoff at the idea of a mascot having any effect on game play, but that’s the very nature of an intangible — it’s not measurable, and may even been seemingly inconsequential. But what could it hurt? At the very least, it will energize the arena.
To that end, I present a little proof-of-concept design. Obviously this would need a little further work, but I think it’s a solid concept. Ladies and gentleman, allow me to introduce my proposal for our newest team member…
The first of his line, first of his name, protector of the Garden, and breaker of Metro: [The New York Rangers 2023-24 mascot, **Intangibles**!](https://imgur.com/a/GLsHI4V)

drop your location i just wanna talk
I agree. We need one. I don’t care what everyone else says.
Edit: Not even remotely surprised I got all of these downvotes. Lmfao
It looks like he doesn’t have arms…which is perfect because that means everything is intangible for him.
Get da fawk aaaadaaaaaere
We have Dancin Larry
The scariest part is not the fact that it has no hands and a broken arm but the eye holes. There’s eye holes for human eyes to see through but they’re like 2 feet apart implying that this mascot is actually just a slightly smaller sentient mascot inside
I want ice GIRLS before we have a mascot.
Fuck this ice crew that is a bunch of dudes.
Isles do it right
If it’s going to be a mascot, it’s going to be a lady liberty in hockey pads. This thing gives me Girdy vibes, and I do not like the flyers.
Absolutely not
Lol! This is the stuff that haunts dreams.
I actually appreciate that we’re the only team that doesn’t and never has had a mascot. Dancin Larry works well enough for me.
Gotta be pizza rat. He would be way cooler than Gritty
We are a full Mickey Mouse org if we do this
No.
No.
Sorry but nah
Not sure about a mascot. Thinking about a name for one though made me look up the origins of the Rangers name. TIL that the Rangers were named after the founder Tex Rickard as in Tex’s Rangers. If the team had one, Tex could be a possible name.
Fuckouttahere
That thing is terrifying. I love it.
This is the fucking dumbest post I’ve ever seen on this sub, and someone just posted they think we need corey fucking perry.
Fuck mascots.
Can we just mutiny against Dolan
nah, I’m good
Your mascot will give me nightmares
We had a mascot last year and ended up trading him to Minnesota for a 5th round pick.
Bobby Granger has entered the chat
We to classy 😏
Are you fucking kidding with this ? You”re just going for clickbait right? Maybe look to become a fan of the other two teams, they have more furry puppets than Sesame Street.
Mascot? I thought Mika Cat was the mascot.
Your mascot idea is very, very, odd and scary.
We have larry, mika zibanecat, playoff pig and we had ranger the pup a few years ago
