All these fukktards had to do was lose the last game of the regular season and you avoid the hottest team in the league.

I give the Islanders all the credit in the world, they tanked the final game because that half of the bracket is 10X easier than the Metro.

I guarantee you that gum chewing arrogant fukk :avumad: thought this team could beat anybody based off the past two seasons. Honestly, this organization needs to overhauled period, look all the dumb ass moves Sather made recently:

1) Trading for 1st round picks for :flabbynsick: MSL, sure we got to the Cup, but that was more about the team bonding together after his mother's death. MSL was straight garbage in the playoffs and AV didn't even try to bench him once.

2) Not re-signing Stralman and giving 5 mill to Dan Girardi. This is just straight up organization incompetency and bad talent assessment. Girardi is slow and unable to play in AV's man-to-man defense, Stralman being a good skater and good puckhandler would've been a better fit and younger. Now we have a :flabbynsick: player who more than likely we will have to buyout.

3) This is the where I started to question the organization's philosophy, trading one of our best prospects (who would've played a lot this year btw if they kept him) in Anthony Duclair for Keith Yandle pissed me off to no ends and still does. Yandle was not gonna a difference maker for a Rangers Cup win, he's never been an elite defenseman, good offensively but that was really it. Sure enough that was proven to be true, now we lost a good prospect that could've bridge a re-tool and Yandle is more than likely gone.

Now this team is in shambles, Rangers have to get rid of a lot of deadweight like Girardi, Nash, both Staals, Boyle, Glass, Moore, and hope to get any type of picks and prospects back. Now I know how you Knicks fans feel :snoop:

Him and Chandler Parsons are running thru the hoes in this city with no regard. :wow:

As far as the trade goes, when Jim Nill da gawd calls inquiring about a trade, it's best to hang up bc you're going to get fleeced. Ask Chicago.

bruins were stupid
trade a trade a 21 year old sniper first line player for louis erikkson

Boylr might be the worst dman in the league at this moment, just a marc andre bergeron at this point. He's done as a nhler


Rangers did what the Knicks did, give big money to players past their prime and trade draft picks.

Trade duclair brehs

Id rather play Pittsburgh than Tampa in the 2nd round :manny:

Tampa is a defensive minded team with a top goaltender whos tough to beat,PIT is an offensive team that leaks tons of oil on the backend,thats the team id rather play when scoring starts becoming scarce....

They have Ben Bishop whos better than anything Pittsburgh has...and theyre alot more stingy in there own end.
I watched some of the Pens/Rangers series...PIT isnt unbeatable at all in fact i think theyre quite easily beatable if you play sound defense and just capitalize on there defensive mistakes,because they make alot of them...Theyre horrible at marking and finding there man in there own zone.

NY just wasnt good enough and didnt have the guys upfront to exploit it...
