    Montreal has an easy schedule, and ours is impossible.

    These early afternoon starts are normally disasters. 12:30?! UGH.

    Yeah, I think two recent things torpedoed the Rangers longshot playoff hopes. The point the Rangers pathetically gave away against the Ducks AND the 2 points Montreal got against the Panthers by tying the game last second and then winning in OT. Those two games really crushed any legit hopes.

    All the Rangers can do is win, against a very tough schedule, and hope for the best.

    The Rangers must have been drunk when they acquired Soucy. He blows.

    They are so careless with the puck.

    This coach should’ve been fired in December along with that moron Drury

    I’m actually rooting for them to lose at this point and keep our pick.

    If you truly want to rebuild they need to be worse next year. They will lose that pick. He probably should’ve asked for next year top 13 protected

    Zibanedouche and Kreider have to go for sure.

    Outside of Shesterkin I'm not sure anyone else on the team deserves above a C grade this year. Maybe Panarin.

    Cuylle has been excellent and so has Brodzinsky. Carrick and Schneider I’ve been good in their roles.

    Panarin may bring a shit load more than Zibanadouche and Kreider. They need to move him in the offseason

    The Devils play desperate and our guys play like they don’t give a fuck.

    Well, fortunately or unfortunately this embarrassment will pretty much put an end to things this season. Far too many games like this.

    Schneider needs to be in a top 4 role next season, period, which means K. Miller needs to go IMO. I would not sign him long term and instead would deal him and Kreider this summer.

    As I keep saying, good luck dealing Zibanejad with a NMC, an $8.5M cap hit, and 5 years remaining on his deal. He is most likely the one untradeable player on the team.

    I actually rather they give up their pick this year, but that seems unlikely because they are terrible and have clearly packed it in. Knowing next year's 1st rounder goes to the Pens, Drury needs to do EVERYTHING in his power to ensure the Rangers are back near the top, including potentially dealing their 1st rounder this year for a top LD or top wing.

    You don't like giving up an early 3rd round pick for a 3rd pair or depth dman...;). And in reality, they gave up 2nd and 5th round picks for Soucy, that's the package they gave up for Smith, who ultimately turned into Soucy. We call that a Drury special.

    At this point, with the stench of the season, I think everyone needs to go. My guess is clueless Dolan will not fire Drury though, and he'll get to fire/hire another head coach. Rinse and repeat with Drury.
