Rangers Fall To Lightning 6-2 In Tampa | New York Rangers

[@sjwill1956]

season is over...what a complete mess...

[@DG-ph8gp]

Mika and Kreider were good last night. It was Igor who let the team down. Drury and Lavi need to treat those guys better if they want them to perform at an elite level.

[@tyrous1743]

Fire the Coach, fire Drury. Clear out upper management, they have lost the locker room

[@nyujay2010]

Sad to say, but these guys are all sensitive babies who aren't playing for each other, the city, or the fans. What an embarrassment.

Can’t wait for 25-26…..

they need to rebuild.

[@ZJCIOLEK-y7z]

Giving Shesterkin all that $$$ was a huge mistake!!! Shesterkin is too soft & sensitive to win a Stanely Cup with any team.

yeah blame the goalie when the defense is swiss cheese. casual

Drury can go Fox miller Lindgren kreider zibanejad can all go too. Rebuild the team, you sent the letter in what… 2018? And we never did the rebuild, we immediately tried to go win a cup 2 seasons later. Rebuild the fucking team.

Road to the first overall pick

[@velvetbikes]

Hahaha like thats gonna help. I guess you missed that part where Rangers got the #2 and then the #1 pick a few years ago and they already traded away the #2 after making him the scapegoat. Rangers have a bad history with 1st round picks. Always seems to be they're the problem, never owning it might be Management. Kakko was one of the few productive players on the team with Cuylle. But sure, keep Mika in the top6. Drury fucked the culture up.

[@misscheesecake1952]

They were so good last season, what happened? Why isn't Mika using his slap shot from the red circle? He was very successful with that shot last year.

[@killaapp]

No, he was very successful the year prior. He struggled last year as well.

[@albie21121]

Yeah I can't remember the last time that clown buried a one timer on the PP. It was def the season before last. You seem him miss the net point blank 5on5 last night??? Even Joe Mick said he was watching him in practice and he kept missing the net. This guys downfall is fascinating cause he is clearly hindered by something. would love to know what it is. In the meantime he needs to waive his NMC. He's killing this organization

[@velvetbikes]

Do you not watch the games? He's been shooting and missing from that spot now for almost a year and a half now.

[@albie21121]

@@velvetbikes apparently he doesn't watch the games. How can he stick up for Mika and blame the passes? As you stated and so did I prior to your response, its been like 2 yrs since Mika scored from the circle on the one timer. He makes like this is something new??? lmao

[@p00l95]

they were not really good. they reilied on the pp and Igor to win games.

[@Mike-mx1bw]

Mika is a disgrace. This team is hopeless so long as he is here

[@dlagrua]

Mika is like a -21 right now. Send him down to Hartford

[@themasterzman1172]

And yet he starts the opening face-off 🤔

[@albie21121]

Agree. Kreider isn't too much better. He gets scratched before break to send a message, then right back on line1 with his wife Mika and the worthless Smith. Mika/Kreider should be on line 4 or sratched. Othmann is back from his broken wrist, has played 2 games with the pack now. Get him up, elevate Cuylle/Berard to top 6 with Othy and roll that rest of the season. Start gettiing top6 NHL reps in for our future

[@karolwos7457]

He's bad, but those shorthanded goals are equally on Fox / defense. Just watch any good team and their PP. Passes need to be relatively fast for that to work. Those passes to Mika's one timers are too damn slow. The other team was able to block it and score because of that. Especially Fox is irritating with his slow ass passes. Every team in the league knows he is not passing the puck right away.

[@albie21121]

@@karolwos7457 dont give an ounce of excuse to Mika, you look dumb. "those passes to Mika's one timers are too slow".......ok. The dude hasn't buried a one timer on the PP since the season before last so....

This team is anemic. Mika is no longer a 1st line center, maybe at best a 3rd line center? The team is slow, predictable and look uninspired. Time to rebuild and look toward the future.

3rd line? AHL center

[@michaellatko1639]

All they do is pass it to Mika for the 100mph miss the net shot

[@mattc3169]

This has to be one of the worst Rangers seasons I’ve ever seen. They’re so down and out both in the standings and in their own heads that it’s going to be really difficult to come out of this funk!

[@themasterzman1172]

No fundamentals, no backcheck, no forecheck, no discipline, no heart and/or will, and yet the fact that you have a -21 player (Mika) starting the game with the opening face-off tells you everything you need to know about this GM, coach, team, and organization 🤦‍♂️🤷‍♂️ Yikes what a dumpster 🔥

[@albie21121]

it would pay so much dividends if Mika would waive his NMC. He would save the Rangers. All would be forgiven with Mika. Dump Kreider too for more cap $$$$. Sam Bennet/Miko Rantennen will be avail this offseason. They are the prototypical gritty players all teams need to go deep. Would be enough cap left to upgrade on Def. Othmann/Perrault waiting in the wings. Cuylle turning into stud. Please Mika!!!!!!!! WE BEG!!!!!!!

You basically described the FLA panthers. And we all know what they did last year. They are the poster child for what you have to build in the NHL right now.
