Stars, Sabres and now Senators. Those are the 3 most concerning losses thus far I'd say considering they were pretty much mauled in each game. I do think no Chytil and Kakko for the longer term now will surely slow down the tear they had been on most of this season thus far. Hoping at least Goodrow comes back quick but losing a tooth after getting hit by a puck, ouch! I think you lose games. If I had told you the Rangers were going to lose this many man games in their first 25 games and still only lose 5 you’d probably have called me nuts. The injuries are unfortunate but better to suffer them early.

What an utter shit effort tonight. They better figure something out soon.

What an utter shit effort tonight. They better figure something out soon. Yep. Anyone else hear this “this goalie is making his first start ever against the Rangers” And then think oh shit we’re going to lose. Because I did. Didn’t think we’d get shut out but I was pretty sure we’d lose. We’re a crap team right now and it started after we beat Boston.

Trouba looked like he wanted to cry during the post game presser.

The injuries are catching up with them a bit. They’re down 3 wings.
But it's hard to figure how a guy who originally didn’t make the team is now on the first line.
I think they should switch Vesey and Brodzinski.
Most teams ebb and flow during the course of the season. They’re ebbing big time.
Tough game tonight. The Kings are terrific on the road. Quick vs his old team. Can’t imagine what it would be like to see Lundqvist play against the Rangers.

That was exactly what you wanted to see tonight. Honest question though. At what point do we decide to ride Quick. Igor has been mediocre and Quick is out of his mind right now.

Yea, that was a very good win. Seems we just can't get it together against mediocre and bad teams at times. I think you stick with Igor. For a few more games but if he continues to struggle then you make the change. Quick is playing way better than I thought he would.

16 in his last 3. It’s Quick time. Yep. Had a save % under .800 tonight. No idea what is going on with Igor. Quick should be the #1 going forward. Now, having said that, the team did Igor no favors tonight, playing in the 2nd period only and looking lost most of the game. Drives me crazy watching the ridiculous number of unforced giveaways. A dozen of them or more. Combined with our soft defense, excluding Trouba and Lindgren, and you get what happened tonight. Usually Igor handles our idiotic play in our own zone but he hasn't been lately. And Quick has. Time for a change. Next two are back to back. First is against the ducks and then Boston. After tonight, I could see us losing both.

After tonight, I could see us losing both. It’s just starting to wear us down. Tonight no Miller, still no movement on Chytil and even Kakko provides a defense and puck possession that we are missing. Still a good record but they are going through it right now. Since Boston it’s been a slog.

Nice to read that Larry sees what we see as well. Not that it isn’t painfully obvious how we don’t work hard enough and Igor needs to save us from our lazy soft play 😐

Too many injuries and Fox is not the best defender.
Not now, but imo we need health and another Cuylle. He loves Buffalo and two more years at $4.75 million but, how do we get Alex Turk here?

Saw the article about the search for a reliable right wing for Mika and Kreider. Here is a crazy idea. How about bringing back the last one they had? I’d love to see #36 back in that Rangers uniform.

Last 2 seasons 79 and 67 points there. Already at 28 this season. And they are not having a good season.

Awesome effort tonight, the rook finishing it off with a goal was great. Kreider one of the all time Rangers. Now do it again tomorrow. If Igor can gain something from watching quick it’s rebound control, even the ones he allows are trickle rebounds.

If Igor can gain something from watching quick it’s rebound control, even the ones he allows are trickle rebounds. Started somewhat lackluster in the first but took control in the second and never looked back. Homer ducks announcers kept whining about the refs. Convincing good win against a bottom dwelling team. Unfortunately and I hope I’m wrong but I think with Quick starting tonight they’re hoping Igor will rise to the challenge but their strategy might be get at least two points in this back to back. Throwing our struggling starter to the wolves in Boston. I thought they’d start Igor tonight. Get some confidence against a bottom team. Guess not. We’ll see. Hope we play like we did the first time we played them.

great win, and huge night for Kreider. Quick is really playing well, at some point they may need to flip he and Igor. Who saw that in the pre-season?

Awesome effort tonight. Two top teams in the East and we come back and win it in OT.
Igor looked good although our defense was solid as well.
Boston's lone goal looked like Goalie Interference to me, he pushed Igor's pads away from the puck and then shot it in. Pretty sure that is interfering with the goalie's ability to stop the puck. But unsurprisingly, we don't get those calls.
The game winner was a nice show of patience by our Blueshirts, controlling the puck pretty much the entire OT and skating out of the zone as needed.
Excellent win. Let's Go Rangers!!

That’s a great win and a solid evening for #31. Two more things: 1. How good has Troch been? 2. What the hell is Pasternak’s issue with Lindgren. Lindgren was lucky, that could have been a disaster.

Huge win tonight! Loved how right after the Boston fans started booing due to inaction, they ended it in OT. Be careful what you ask for! You wanted them to do something, well they kindly did so in spades!

Lindgren was lucky, that could have been a disaster. #2- There is a history there, I think. Can't remember it right now but I'm sure Lindgren has drilled him more than once and he remembered. Glad he got booted. A lot of whiners in the Boston fanbase after last night. Funny, crying about the refs but it was the refs that gave them their only goal in my opinion. Anyway, awesome win. It was a tough game and the end was wonderful. The booing starts and we score to end it. It was beautiful. I may have watched it a few times... On both broadcasts so I could listen to the bruins homer announcers whine about it.

The true glory is nobody gave a shit. When you walk out losers nobody cares who the 3 stars are. Couldn’t happen to a better fan base.
