Looks like the only one who didn't CLEARLY win was Rempe. Then again, McDermid is 1 of the better fighters in the league. I was most surprised with Miller, who I've been tough on for his lack of physicality, beating the brakes off of that dude

Miller never fights. Now I think it’s because they don’t want him to kill anyone. Jesus

The wins against the Jersey rats and Detroit were good. Keep getting points and winning the Metro is what I want. President's Trophy don't care about, getting the #1 spot in the East so we have home ice would be nice as well but winning our division is the goal.
The brawl against the rats was great. We're a much tougher team today than we have been ever maybe. I love it personally. Jersey's "fighters" got rocked although Rempe's brawl was their best effort. And then we beat them on the ice for a season sweep.
Last group of games have not been great, but we've gotten the job done more times than not. I don't think any of us want to see the kind of play in the postseason we've been seeing recently but hopefully when we get there our mindset and effort will be improved.

Big shout out to Vincent Trochek, winner of this years Steven McDonald Extra Effort award, well deserved. I still remember when Connor was a little kid when they first started the awards!! Nice to see how far he's come, as a NYPD Lieutenant, and a family of his own.

Nice to see how far he's come, as a NYPD Lieutenant, and a family of his own. Well deserved he has exemplified hard work and excellence as much as any Ranger this year! Been flipping between Knicks and Rangers. 2 solid outcomes (provided Rangers hold on for another 2:30).

It was a beat up on Canada day which is always nice.
Yankees beat the jays and Rangers beat the habnots.
2 more wins and we seal the division. Last four are every other night and then playoffs.

Whoever gets in last is going to be hot yet that #1 slot, which to me it doesn’t appear the Rangers are killing themselves for, could really match the Rangers up against the less talented opponent. Whether Pitt, Wash, Philly or the Isles (and isn’t this an interesting week with two vs them) the opponent is going to be far less talented than a Tampa imo.

We should be feared not the other way around. I kind of hope we do play Tampa at some point and end their season like they have done to us for too many postseasons. In my opinion the goals are: 1) win division 2) claim the #1 seed in the East and 3) win the President's trophy in that order with #3 being fine if we do but don't care if we don't. We'll see.

You take the first period off and that can happen. Especially whe Varlamov is stopping everything. Hopefully they learned something tonight. In the playoffs you can’t hand games away. My real beef tonight was Troch getting boarded clear as day at the end. That ref saw it and knew what it was and decided to eat it anyway. That whole thing where you don’t want to make an impactful call with 20 seconds left is BS. Especially something that blatant.

Just never know what team is showing up from period to period.
Last bunch of games we've overcome our idiocy but couldn't do it tonight.
As was mentioned some heinous non-calls but sadly I'm not surprised. I typically expect the refs to be against us more times than not and am always shocked when calls go our way.
We have not been playing like a top team for the last couple weeks. I hope we secure the Metro division. Winning two of the next 3 will do that and I really really hope we play a hell of a lot better when the playoffs start.

Lack of heart these last 2 games is why fans never get their hopes up. If we can spend periods of hockey getting run out of the arena by the Isles and Caps. And we are back to our favorite past time. Skating in circles without shooting.

Lackluster effort last two games.
This is why fans of this team can't get excited for anything really with this kind of effort against a team fighting to get into the playoffs. No desire to finish strong, no desire to put their foot on the throat of hated rivals, no killer instinct, no heart, no anything really.
Laviolette not playing Rempe for a second game so we can see Brodzinksi and Goodrow? Are we the only ones that know the playoffs start in about a week and we still haven't wrapped up the metro yet? You'd think that'd be a priority.
I look at my first post from this thread and nothing has altered my feelings at all with this team after watching them play 80 games. We're in the playoffs... Hurray. We're not getting out of the first round if something doesn't change and I really don't have faith it will.

I do think their style is better on the boards and they can force an opponent into taking more penalties though. the difference might be they are accustomed to battling all year. We’re all cautious with our emotions though.

Skating in circles without shooting. yup, look how skilled we are. Let’s hope it’s a breather before the run. imo though, this Rempe factor is real. He wakes the team up and an energized team might be better than the more skillful or safer lineup.

I think the team has been guilty of looking beyond these last few teams towards the playoffs. Not sure they'll be able to turn it back on once they start, and have not shown the propensity to keep their intensity level up game after game through most of the season. Given that I expected them to be really mediocre this year, they's way outperformed my expectations either way...

Again, not to sound like a broken record, a win is a win. We got 2 points and had to come back to win it in the shootout. That is what mattered most today.
We need to win game #82 against Ottawa to seal the Metro. That is all for now.
I was happy to see Rempe out there and Brodzinski scratched. Even people that don't know shit about hockey can see the difference a 6'8" behemoth makes on the ice.
We need to play like we did in the first half of period #1 except that way for a whole game when the playoffs get here.
And that's all I say for now. We got 2 points... That's it.

Oh no doubt brother. Felt good as hell. In the end when it came down to Igor vs Ilya it was a wrap. I think we need Chytil 5v5 in the playoffs. They played this possum game perfectly. Chytil put for the year with injury that happened in a practice skate with basically no witnesses. Well played gentleman.
