What I hear: "Duuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh" Still one of the dumbest fanbases on the planet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like the group of 6 of them behind me in line at the Brian Boyle autograph signing last winter, who stood in like for 2 hours to get his signature while making fun of him for having cancer the entire time? Even my (at the time) 10 year old knew they were a-holes. I was within seconds of telling Brian what they had been up to when we got our turn, but I decided to keep it positive.

A lot of "he never had cancer when he was on our team, hahahaha" and that kind of stuff. Back when I was like 18-20 there definitely would have been a fistfight, but I'm old, there were 6 of them, and I don't think my 10 year old daughter could have handled more than two of them. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imagine being such a low-life scumbag that you joke about a player- one of your former players, and by all accounts a salt of the earth human being like Brian Boyle- having CANCER because he plays for a team you don’t like. Not only that, showing up to a fvcking autograph signing the guy is doing to do it, but you don’t have the balls to say something so insanely cruel and disgusting to the man’s face, so you joke about it while you wait in line. I have no doubt whatsoever that these are the same types of a$$holes that show up to a Devils-Sharks game wearing Rags jerseys. You would’ve been well within your rights to have fvcked them up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They also spent a good amount of time being as loud as humanly possible and repeatedly cursing in front of children. At one point, I asked them if they were drunk, which they thought was funny, and one guy said " I WISH we were drunk", at which point I reminded him there was still time and that he should drive home afterwards.

Fake fanbase. Not defending them cause fvck them but trading most of their fan favorites away will do that and their ticket prices at face value are insane. I barely talk to my friends that are Rangers fans but I know that none of them are looking forward to this season. I'm expecting a lot of games not selling out there this year..... Not that we have any right to talk either when it comes to attendance. Edited October 5, 2018 by Satans Hockey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The idea of a completely pissed Brian Boyle half-a$$ing their autographs and interaction after they waited so long was very tempting. I am pretty sure it wouldn't have worked out as well as it did in my head. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jagknife Posted October 6, 2018 Author Share Posted October 6, 2018 I know it’s only one game in a very long season and it was against arguably the best team in the west, but Kovy looked very overmatched tonight. A lot of bad turnovers, couldn’t get himself into good positions and is doing what he did the first few games with us: over passing, not shooting 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mfitz804 Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 Anyone else love that the Rangers have dropped their first three? I mean, there’s plenty of hockey left, we’ve only played one, anything can happen, etc... But, it’s still nice to see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
titans04 Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 They are a true dumpster fire. There's no saving that sinking ship. Losing doesn't guarantee winning down the road. Hopefully they find that out the hard way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taking an early 2-0 lead, only to lose it, then taking other leads and seeing those disappear too...and then ultimately losing by three on a night that they score five. Also great that their window (admittedly it was a pretty good one) didn't result in a Cup. But again, thank God that Shattenkirk went with a winner. It's really worked out well for him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colorado Rockies 1976 Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 Pointless to try to judge Kovy on a game-to-game basis...even in his prime, as we saw, he could look awesome in some games, and almost like he had no instincts at all in others...especially before Lemaire started getting through to him. If anything, I'm curious as to how much of Lemaire's teachings are still ingrained in Kovy. I think that might have been the first guy to have ever properly coached Kovy (and the results were showing)...I think the 2011-12 version of Ilya was him at his most "complete". In a way it's too bad that we never saw how he might have been, had he continued down that path...but 2013 Kovy clearly didn't want to be here, and that was pretty much that, as far as trying to create any alternate timelines go. Anyway, probably going to be at least 30-35 games before we really know what kind of NHL player Kovy is...and even then, there will be reason to wonder about how he holds up over an 82-game season. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
