Pepperkorn Posted January 28, 2003 Share Posted January 28, 2003 I think it's funny that in the fall when things were going well for the Rag$ fans... That reads like an annual Farmer's Almanac prediction ! I'm not sure if I'm flattered by that or not... in any event, I think it means I'm dull...

BlueSkirt Posted January 28, 2003 Share Posted January 28, 2003 huh: I'm not sure if I'm flattered by that or not... in any event, I think it means I'm dull... No way, PK. It just sounded funny in my head that every summer/fall the Rags are on their way to the Cup - at least that's what some of their fans say to me... every off-season.

Zamode Posted January 28, 2003 Share Posted January 28, 2003 Oh and Matteau, was this a Freudian slip Yes, my first reaction was typical Swamprat Fans, more concerned with the devils. Good job Has! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zamode Posted January 29, 2003 Share Posted January 29, 2003 My wedding day was 5/1/92. Game 7. Guys kept passing me matches with the score written on it to keep me updated. I'd say that's normal, where's the problem? Guess that makes you a good catch for female Devs fans Derek no puking on the site admin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

westcoastdevfan Posted January 29, 2003 Share Posted January 29, 2003 Plain and simple. This is a Devils board and as a rule we all love the Devils and who ever is playing the Rangers. I hate the Rangers. I want to be able to declare that freely. I could care less if I offend a fan of my teams arch nemesis. I hated 1994 and I still loathe Matteu. I get sick when I see a wrap-around and I break out in hives when I think of that sinister,evil grin baldy had after hoisting Lord Stanley's mug. Derek has never bothered me. I am amused by his posts. I am a Devils fan. I am a fan of one of the finest teams in all of sports. I've heard every joke from Mickey Mouse day to empty seats during the playoffs. If you can't take the ribbing stop following sports. Remeber 1940? Long live 1994! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarbingerOfSorrow Posted January 29, 2003 Share Posted January 29, 2003 Looks like the Rangers will lose to the Trashers for the 4th straight time. Trots will take the fall for Slats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Triumph Posted January 29, 2003 Share Posted January 29, 2003 Can't wait for Brooks's article tomorrow.. should be despondent vitriol from an unhappy man.. there's always something funny about how Brooks begins to cover the Devils come April.. looks like this year will be no exception.

-C- Posted January 29, 2003 Share Posted January 29, 2003 Ah hell, just uncover them all and put us out of our misery. Third brutal game in a row. Trottier deserves the ax, he didn't have the team ready to play... again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
insanity_gallops Posted January 29, 2003 Share Posted January 29, 2003 Rangers are having issues, still. Atlanta is playing good hockey under Hartley. They could very well be on the up-and-up. I'm not expecting them to make the playoffs this year, but next year if they improve and land another solid free agent or two they could very well sneak in.

CMONPETEYD Posted January 29, 2003 Share Posted January 29, 2003 18 pts ahead, 5 games in hand. Thats at least 6 more points, maybe 7 or 8 the way we have been playing. You gotta love it!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redruM Posted January 29, 2003 Share Posted January 29, 2003 Not for nothin' but my team hasn't lost 6 of its last 7 playoff games over the past two years.

Blackjack Posted January 29, 2003 Share Posted January 29, 2003 We also haven't lost 6 of our last 7 playoff games. We won games 3 and 4 against Carolina. So that would mean we lost 6 of our last 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Devil Dog Posted January 29, 2003 Share Posted January 29, 2003 Posted on Jan 28 2003, 10:53 PM -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rangers are having issues, still.Atlanta is playing good hockey under Hartley. They could very well be on the up-and-up. I'm not expecting them to make the playoffs this year, but next year if they improve and land another solid free agent or two they could very well sneak in. I think this is another thing that Slats has to answer for. He allowed both Hitchcock and Burns to sign with two of his biggest rivals. He didn't give Nolan the time of day, and when he couldn't convince Robinson to coach his merry band of millionaires he turned to Trotts. Even after it was evident that Trotts was in over his head Slats allowed Hartley to sign with an Eastern Conference team. Is it any surprise that this team is playing well right now? Slats should have bitten the bullet and first Trotts, admitted his mistake in hiring him to begin with and signed Hartley. All Hartley did was get to the conference finals four straight years and win the cup two years ago. This is just one more sign that Slats just isn't focusing on what ails his team. A note to Cablevision: Please sign Slats to a multi-year extension now!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

point Posted January 29, 2003 Share Posted January 29, 2003 It undoubtedly pleases most regulars here that the Rangers are out of the playoss again. However, it is very bad for the league that the most visible team in the NHL is not drawing TV viewers every spring. (I never saw the Devils play until the 94 playoffs were on national TV. I dropped the Rangers like a dead frog right then.) The league needs the Rangers to produce and draw fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek21 Posted January 29, 2003 Share Posted January 29, 2003 The last seven Ranger playoffs games feels like an eternity ago but I remember well. They lost their last three games after knotting the series against the Flyers in Game Two. They won the final four against the Devils in the 2nd round. Their last seven playoff game record was 3-4. Enjoy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
