OT: Are the New York Rangers for Real?
January 14th, 2012 at 9:30 PM ^
Marian Gaborik. Dudes ridiculous.
January 14th, 2012 at 9:37 PM ^
He didn't really show up in the playoffs a few yet ago for them. Torterella has this team well oiled right now. Been a while since they won it all. 1994!
January 14th, 2012 at 9:33 PM ^
They have a chance, pens and caps seem to be down this year, without Crosby the pens aren't impressive
January 14th, 2012 at 9:37 PM ^
Die hard Rangers fan here... They are absolutely for real. They aren't a dynamic offensive team by any means but are one of the best defensive teams in the league. They roll 3 above average lines and have on of the best goalies on the planet. They are so consistent and disciplined it's amazing. They are eerily similar to the Bruins. Built for the playoffs, for sure.
January 14th, 2012 at 9:39 PM ^
So to see them win the cup would be pretty epic! I have a Messier jersey btw old school CCM lom
January 14th, 2012 at 10:24 PM ^
Well since you are correcting your spelling... They're*
January 14th, 2012 at 9:39 PM ^
They are not absoluteley for real until they lose in the first round of the playoffs then prove they arent spit. Screw the rangers
January 14th, 2012 at 9:41 PM ^
Die in a fire.
January 14th, 2012 at 10:24 PM ^
yes, this guy is definitely a rangers fan. he knows the tact.
January 14th, 2012 at 11:40 PM ^
Messiers load, dont you.
January 14th, 2012 at 11:39 PM ^
They blow!
January 15th, 2012 at 11:34 AM ^
You angry bro ?
January 14th, 2012 at 9:40 PM ^
January 14th, 2012 at 9:44 PM ^
Absolutely.
January 14th, 2012 at 9:47 PM ^
Definitely. Three very good lines, one of the top group of defensemen in the nhl (which goes 8 deep in case of injuries) and the best goalie in the league. As Torts keeps saying, you don't win anything in January, but if they are playing like this come playoff time the league should be on notice.
January 14th, 2012 at 9:53 PM ^
No. They are fake. The team is only in your immagination.
January 14th, 2012 at 10:02 PM ^
Yes the Swedish prince is for real
January 14th, 2012 at 10:30 PM ^
NHL 93 on sega. Rangers were my team.
January 14th, 2012 at 11:15 PM ^
+ 1. I don't think the music from NHL '93 will ever leave me - such an awesome game.
January 14th, 2012 at 10:59 PM ^
love me some Rangers
January 14th, 2012 at 10:59 PM ^
Nutz! They blow and are in the East. Penguins got lucky and the rest blow. The Campbell Conference will crush those bitches. For you Ranger fucks the Cambell Conference was Detroit's old conference name. NY Rangers suck!
January 14th, 2012 at 11:21 PM ^
That is all.
January 14th, 2012 at 11:35 PM ^
Hey everyone look at the savvy comment from the little Ranger bitch. Wow you won a cup in the last 50 years with beatass Messier. You are the reason people hate New York. I don't hate the city, but many feel it is full of arrogant pricks. So fuck you and the really shitty eastern conference.
January 14th, 2012 at 11:53 PM ^
Bitch
January 14th, 2012 at 11:59 PM ^
You are a shit actor in NY with a beatass team. Choke yourself Pyle.
January 15th, 2012 at 10:05 AM ^
Did somebody put the MGoblog hotlink up at MLove again?
January 15th, 2012 at 2:02 AM ^
you are a complete embarassment to the MGoSociety
January 15th, 2012 at 2:23 AM ^
Agreed.
January 15th, 2012 at 1:03 PM ^
You like a shitty team so you pick on me. I don't pick on those that rip the Lions. The reason is because I have enough sense to know they are probably correct. Until the Rangers make the conference finals in the weak east just be quiet please.
January 15th, 2012 at 1:05 PM ^
Sorry for the vulgar language, but the message is spot on.
January 15th, 2012 at 1:26 PM ^
Your hatred and dislike of the Rangers is amazing. They have been an irrelevant, middling team for about 16 years. For a NY team, they get no pub in virtually any media locales. Perhaps your enmity towards them developed because they violated someone close to you.
January 14th, 2012 at 11:14 PM ^
I'll take the Red Wings that have beaten the Blackhawks twice in a row now. Seriously though, recent Red Wings and Hawks hockey has been the best non-playoff hockey I've seen played.
That said, I do think the Rangers are for real this year. Especially when the Penguins and the Capitals, the two recent perennial powers of the East, are having down years. Don't know if I can see NYR taking Boston, though.
January 15th, 2012 at 11:37 AM ^
Rangers always plays Boston well but should be a great game nevertheless.
January 14th, 2012 at 11:27 PM ^
Hagelin will be a Red Wing someday. Mark my words.
January 14th, 2012 at 11:38 PM ^
He will want to get out of that overpriced hole.
January 15th, 2012 at 3:13 AM ^
I wish you were THE KNOWLEDGE so then i could be sure that you were right
,
Yes
.
January 15th, 2012 at 6:00 PM ^
He's a really good skater, fast, not that physical. He fits a lot more with Detorit than the Rangers. On the other hand you could say the Wings don't need a player liek that as much as the Rangers do.
January 14th, 2012 at 11:37 PM ^
Period. They are weak.
January 14th, 2012 at 11:42 PM ^
They blow, and aren't verty good. Sid, the NHL boy would beat them alone. The east is so turrible!
January 15th, 2012 at 12:19 AM ^
Wings are at 14 straight at home! A real post.
January 15th, 2012 at 8:29 AM ^
I'll believe it when they do anything in the playoffs. This team has a nasty habit of getting everyone's hopes up before falling flat on its face in the postseason, Since 1994, they have only gotten past the 1st round of the playoffs once, despite coming in as a high seed at times.
January 15th, 2012 at 10:11 AM ^
I'm happy for Carl, but Idk how far they can go. The west is sooooo much stronger than the east, so the rangers may be a bit over-valued....that being said, if the west keeps beating up on itself, whoever wins the east may face a battered and bruised western conference champion in the finals
January 15th, 2012 at 11:14 AM ^
Yes they are a real NHL franchise. It is the year 2012 and the New York rangers are real.
January 15th, 2012 at 11:40 AM ^
The rangers had 50 hits against the bruins with 27 alone in the 1st period...There are teams out west with more skill but the Rangers will outwork everyone in the league to make up for their talent
January 15th, 2012 at 4:10 PM ^
if they can win in the playoffs. Tortorella is a profane version of Larry Brown; he certainly has the ability to move a team into the playoffs and he has his name on the Stanley Cup. Like Brown, though, I think he starts to wear on a team over time. They certianly are firing on both sides of the puck this year, and with the exception of Boston, no one else in the East seems deadly -- Philly, Pittsburgh and Washington are all havaing problems of one kind or another.
