Well the rangers were never going to be able to beat that Wild offer for Quinn Hughes

Quotes aren’t working but TJ as it stands they are one half of a good team. There is no offense here. It either needs to be addressed asap via some kind of roster move (trade or Perreault) to get a foothold in the standings or they should focus on getting assets and building for the future. The worst case scenario would be clawing to get a wildcard spot and falling short with Panarin walking for free and the rest of the core getting a year older

The team did about as well as they could have considering everything. Pretty lame job by the refs, even putting aside team bias and just looking from an entertainment and on ice product perspective.

My thoughts that i posted on the last blog:

Hard to believe this is the same team that took a crap on the ice against a very undermanned TBL team. Deserved to win and did, despite JT Miller’s best effort to lose it for us. Man he makes lazy plays. Given the last season+, I’m more than skeptical about this team’s ability to maintain that level of effort, emotion, engagement, etc consistently.

It’s almost impossible to believe this was the same team that put up 13 shots against Tampa. Nice little heart and soul comeback win. Not very confident that effort will be the norm. Also, JT Miller makes some LAZY plays man woof

Now things can get real interesting if the coaches make fun lineup choices

LTIR for Fox. He was probably our best non goalie this season so far and the only source of generating offense from our d

What is the expectation here? In the most optimistic light what can this team actually accomplish? I get Drury doesn’t want to rebuild because somewhere deep down he knows he won’t get the chance to run it. The org is rotten. GMs, development personnel, scouting. It’s all trash. We have no reinforcements. You can, and have, made plenty of coaching and player changes. When does org blow it all the way up? Sully must be pretty bummed that this is where his legacy is going

We’ve played 27 games

We’ve won 5 games against teams currently in a playoff spot

3 games in a row was nice but we don’t have the juice

A good team doesn’t lose like this. Especially against a team without hedman, point, and 3/4 of their top 4 defensemen. Igor has faced the most shots and we cannot get any of our own let alone scoring chances

We are not a good team. An average team at best annd our best future assets are our two first round picks this offseason. We have no high end prospects. Perreault could be a first line player but he’s not a franchise player. Mika, jt, Trocheck are all on the wrong side of 30 on long term deals and only Trocheck is remotely tradable. Panarin needs to get dealt and not let walk for nothing. The best case scenario is Fox is out long term and they blow it up (not that I’d wish bad upon Fox, just purely objectively speaking). Not overly enthusiastic about the near future unless Drury loses his mind and does crazy stuff (he’s boring and arrogant so he won’t) or he gets fired

Both teams on the second game of a back to back so that excuse is out the window. Tampa is missing half their team. The rangers effort is gross. This is an epically bad start
