It’s so insanely frustrating that we were in the finals in 2012 and have been a dumpster fire ever since, and the Rags were in the finals in 2014, in the conference finals in 2015, apologized to their fan base for sucking in 2018, and are now about to be back in the finals while our once proud franchise needs an analytics team to figure out how to turn a door knob. 

All while some think our fan base doesn't have enough patience, like an entire decade of suck isn't a long time.

Right, and I don’t see it being much better next year. Let’s call a spade a spade, the rangers are stacked and made it happen overnight from where they were a few years ago. After a fvcking decade we still have gaping holes. We’re in for more hurt to come, if the United States we’re a hockey team right now.. they’d be the NJ Devils, not getting any better any time in the near future.

The over-reliance on advanced stats is beyond frustrating. The fact an NHL team thinks the Moneyball approach is the sole way to assess a championship caliber team is, quite frankly, pathetic. Analytics only tells a fraction of the story, it is important, but at the end of the day, actual performance and numbers should be the heavy emphasis.

Add into it that until just a few weeks ago, this team STILL showed blind loyalty even with poor performance/results to certain members also set the team back.

The Rangers went scorched earth with their coaches, something the Devils USED to do, and then the fact that EVERYONE wants to go to the Garden, regardless of how bad the team sucks, and it easy to see why they rebounded so well. I really wish some players would look at a damn map and realize you can still have NY and play in Jersey...

Our illustrious GM, who has the blessings of detached and uninterested ownership, won't fire Ruff even if we're in last place by December.  He wants a "friendly" coach who gets along with the young players, and Ruff is a loser so... we might be a doormat for years to come.

That is why it is a good thing we didn't win the lottery. It's better to stay eligible for first overall when you have the worst head coach in the league. The worst coaching + the worst goaltending + Ty Smith = great lottery odds.

This doesn’t sound good for Kadri.   Out for series “if not longer”. 
 

Things always fall into place for the Rangers because they're America's favorite hockey team. It's the bright lights of Broadway brah! Kreider-Zibs-Breadman-Strome-Miller-Fox-Reavo-Trouba-Kid Line 4eva! The rest of the Metropolitan should just forfeit the next 5 years cut there's no quit and no losing in NY! Rangers dynasty run starts now!

I thought the 2006 Canes were the masters of diving and taking penalties but they've got nothing on this Rags team. They do it to perfection. I truly cant stomach the thought of this team playing like this for the next 4-5 years. It will be insufferable.
