I don't think the Oilers are a good matchup for the Rangers. The Oilers O and skill, combined with the Rangers shotty D zone coverage, especially in front of the net, gives me nightmares. I also like the Rangers at home a lot less in big games. We'll see if they can play two strong defensive games in a row, this one against a very good offensive team.
 
DK has this one Edm -155 (even bigger favorites than the Rangers last night). Take that for what it is worth.
 
Shesterkin better be fucking net enough of this no back to back crap.
 
I just heard he is which you should be when you’re paying him that much.
 
Chytil is out with concussion. The kid probably should hang them up at this point
 
K Miller is so stupid with the puck. You would think this moron would learn by now how to clear the puck of his own zone
 
2 out of 3 penalties were bogus calls where oilers grab ranger sticks and hug them and the idiot refs fall for it costing a goal. Meanwhile draisitl grabs fox stick for a couple seconds in front of the refs and no call.
 
Solid game by these two teams. Would be nice to take this one in the third.
 
Nobody can finish unfortunately along with Edmonton blocking a ton of shots.
 
Gotta hope Columbus loses at least one of the two games in hand.
 
Everyone seems to be focused on CBJ, people need to also watch Montreal, who is actually ahead of CBJ by a point, and ahead of us when you look at points % (1 point back with 2 games in hand).

The Rangers didn't play poorly tonight, a little sloppy with the puck, but overall, they played fine I thought. The issue is they are simply not good enough this season. When your 3rd line has 4th liners Carrick and Berard on it, you don't have enough talent.

I like the Rangers top 6, I also like the Rangers 4th line options (Rempe/Brod/Edstrom/Carrick/Berard), they really need to improve the 3rd line and add a top LD for next season (I think Othmann could be a potential 3rd liner next season).

If you give the Rangers a top LD partner for Fox, and a very good wing to play in the top 6 or 9, I think they'll be a very good team next season.
 
When Rempe is your most improved player it speaks volumes about the lack of commitment that other players on this team have.
 
McDavid never ceases to amaze, quite a wide talent margin between him and the Rangers #1 overall. Vinny needs to stop swinging at the puck like a Gashouse Gorilla.
 
In a lot of ways, it is luck, when you get the # 1 pick is there a generational or dynamic talent available. The Oilers got lucky in a year they had # 1 overall, McDavid was available, same for the Leafs with Matthews, and the Avs with MacKinnon. I cannot be disappointed with the Rangers for taking the clearly rated by all # 1 player, Lafreniere. If you look at the top of the 2020 draft, only Stutzle really stands out so far, the rest have had ups and downs.

If they keep Lafreniere, the Rangers need to hope he dedicates himself to working hard and improving his game, along with upping his emotion/passion level overall.

I would argue Cuylle is our most improved player, but the point still stands, outside of Rempe and Cuylle I don't see many players who have really stepped up their games from last season.
