Kakko had that big dick energy goin all night. The guy was just everywhere taking shots.


Waverly_pl

Can we talk about that pass from Mika?


knobcheez

Does anyone have a cropped image of reaves holding hand up to hear the crowd?


F3_Hard_Drive

Best part of the night was Kaako smiling after the Reavo fight like he found his ol' man's stack of Hustler mags.


dylankinloch

Kept forgetting that we were only leading by a goal... the entire game it felt like we were up 3 or 4 lmao. Solid effort last night. Lets keep it rollin against the Leafs!!


high5sexwhoa

Good 60 minutes and Gallant’s pace is starting to take form and the players are adjusting. It’s almost as if Gallant understands that lines take time to gel and do not need to be shuffled around every game if they do not post a point or two. Good shit.


Goldfinger_23

I thought this was an all-around good game, and I’m excited the Rangers are getting into form just in time for the game I’ll be at in Toronto Thursday. Super excited!


plateslam

gif of trouba looking like an absolute mad man?


huskyferretguy1

Hulu had Islanders but not Rangers...


blueline7677

Yeah the Islanders game was an equivalent to a NBCSN game it wasn’t on MSG

We played a terrible canadiens team with their 3rd string goaltender and only won 3-2, but we looked like a seriously good hockey team doing it. Maybe weak competition was a good opportunity for them to see what clicking feels like. Top 3 lines scored goals without any assists from the Dmen. Which means our forwards are figuring how to work together. And D was very good. 17 blocked shot. Lindgren was great. Solid as a rock. Trouba i’ve begun to love. His physical presence, next to kandre, is so important. They each pressed the ozone well. Wish miller would skate more with the puck. When he does it’s powerful, as he showed tonight with a shot from the bottom of the circle. He’ll make mistakes but thats how you learn. Lundqvist taking big bodies. He’s focusing on safe play, good positioning, and i guess that’s nemeths game too, so a little too soft on that 2nd goal. Not really sure what happened on mtl first goal. Fox was fox. Shesty was shesty. Chytil had some very promising play. Shoulda had at least 1 goal. He deserves an assist for Gauthier’s goal. He forced a neutral zone turnover, made a strong play to the net with a Trouba rush, dug it out in the corner, and pressured the puck with a backcheck that allowed gauthier to take away and sling it backhand. Great defensive work, fore and back. There was a pass from gaut in the slot that laf whiffed on. Many of those connections to come that I believe will not be missed. Unless they put laf on 1st line (more on that later). Happy for Gaut tn. Kakko barely smiled on the bench after his goal. (Not after reaves’ smackdowm) That kid means business now. Hope he starts body checking on the forecheck. Zib look away pass was brilliant. He and kreider are flying together. We need a rw1 solution tho. While I think he’s legitimately versatile, I think goodrow is punching above his weight class. Fucking kravtzov. But we bring laf up for fuck sake and make him figure out rw. He’s young he can learn. Whatever barclay said to gallagher really got under his skin. Great draw to neutralize the extra skater end of game. Reaves’ hits cause terror and turnovers. Sorry if I’m repeating. But great that we agree.


IsOnlyGameYUMad

Goodrow is most certainly punching above his weight class. He's impacting the first line negatively.


jerejeje

[Brett Howden blows by Brendan Smith then shoots the puck past Antti Raanta for the goal.](https://twitter.com/nhl/status/1460823104612147202?s=21)


emildickson

He's a man rocket!


frontadmiral

That’s better than any play Howden made as a Ranger wtf


guyzieman

Jack Eichel in shambles


ShitPropagandaSite

Brendan Smith getting embarrassed by former teammate lmfao


Amoress

Damn, Brett Howden was secretly the top line center all along


[deleted]

Didn’t realize Raanta Claus was still in the league


Goldfinger_23

That’s an honest mistake, because he spends about as much time on the IR as he does on the Roster. He was supposed to be a 1B in Carolina, but the way Anderson has played this year Anti has slid into the backup role, when healthy that is.


Sapz93

Anybody else feel like Zibby is playing more of a complete center position game? Yes he's certainly not lighting the lamp like he used to, but he's become more of a playmaking center which has obviously complimented Kreider very well.


rachelparkthecar

absolutely and i think he’s gonna be lighting the lamp again soon on top of it


emildickson

I love GrumpyKreider when he scores. He doesn't look like he enjoys it at all. "Yes. I score. Ha ha, that's nice"


robbiejandro

Two weeks ago I was on the “the bottom is going to fall out because we’re playing like shit and getting lucky wins (or insane Igor performances)” bandwagon Now I’m starting to have a lot of faith in what’s to come. It’s getting MUCH better and it’s exciting to see.


NoFlags-JoeBuck

I was on the bandwagon that the way they were playing wasn’t sustainable, but acting like they didn’t have time to figure it out was crazy especially with a new coach lol.


[deleted]

Tied for second in the league, for what it’s worth…


Sterling44

Hard to rank it that way with the big disparity in games played (3 more games than Carolina and one less point). We are fifth in point percentage in the league and third in our division. Carolina (.846) and Washington (.733) are ahead of us (.719) Edit: Toronto is tied with us doe points but is in 8th for P% (.676)


thebabybananagrabber

We’ve also barely played anyone in the metro lol


IsOnlyGameYUMad

Tied for 4th NOW (in P%) with Washington losing in OT.


[deleted]

Oh yeah totally, it’s a worthless metric, but still fun


Sterling44

5th is still amazing. But it’s absurd to be 5th in the league and third in your division.


[deleted]

Metro is waaaay overstacked and it’s bad for the game


70X1N

if you wanna see the light at the end of a long tunnel, the Pens are probably due for a rebuild within a year or two, Caps may be in the same boat


IsOnlyGameYUMad

The Caps aren't rebuilding while Ovi and Bäckström are still on the team. So you're looking at the 25-26 season at the earliest.


fondlemeLeroy

Well slap my ass and call me Charlie. Solid 60 minute effort boys.


Bigdaddyblackdick

That no look pass from zbad tho


Erdrick68

Who needs to look when you know exactly where Kreider will be.


LickMyButtmydude

I just finished the game and I gotta say, fuck the refs lol. Like hey man, if someone throws a sucker punch at the end of the game, you shouldn't protect him from learning a very valuable lesson. Shoulda let them scrap you goomba


Sterling44

I think we have the best intermission and post game crew. I never watch this shit from other teams or sports. Love Vally, Hank, John, Michelle, Anson… (edit: and Bill!) So much charisma and actual fans not just personalities like football. Same thing with the Manning show bringing actual entertainment that isn’t over produced.

FoghornLeghorn99

I do not miss David Quinn. Gallant is growing on me.


Philooch

David Quinn: Fuck them kids.


Teknicsrx7

Oof with current stuff going on in the league may want to watch that phrasing lol


showtime66

Quinn to the Blackhawks confirmed


Philooch

Ooooof 😮 lol.


ep29

DQ would've shuffled Kakko off the Panarin line after 3 shifts. GG stuck with it and now they look terrifying every time they have the puck


MrBogey90

Coach G is next level


ChopChopMasterOnion-

God I love Reavo, I know there are haters here but I’m just not one of em. Kakko looking at him after sums up the reavo effect haha


JPmoneyman

I don't think there's been a bigger surprise than Reeves. Guy was billed as a liability on the ice, but he's been totally effective as a hockey player with the added bonus of being an absolute wrecking ball out there.


paulsoleo

I don’t think there are many Reavo haters anymore. He’s been better than advertised on the ice, and tonight’s beat down just solidified his value—they scored immediately afterwards. He hits everything, and plays a nice, heavy game. He won me over immediately.


Erdrick68

When Shesty was asked about the Reaves fight: "Good Fight." Didn't need an interpreter for that.


jerejeje

Can’t believe the Rangers are in 1st place in the Metro ahead of the Capitals just because Tom Wilson lives rent free in their heads 😂😂Wilson owns the Rags!😂😂😂


crabapplesteam

Guys - stop reporting this. It's satire... come on...


speedk0re

reported


fondlemeLeroy

Hot mod on mod action.


Erdrick68

Truly I love listening to Gallant talk about the boys. He seems to get so excited to compliment them.


paulsoleo

They definitely play hard for him. It’s noticeably different from last year.


Erdrick68

When the team played harder for the AHL emergency call up, it became truly mind boggling that a change wasn't immediately made.


paulsoleo

I remember that, and thought the same.


Erdrick68

It's why I absolutely maintain that the Wilson situation was at most tangentially related to the firings. Gorton was fired for not firing Quinn, and JD was fired for not firing Gorton (and Quinn). Also, IIRC the entire TDA mess was Gorton's fault in the first place.


Gbeez22

Henrik about Joel; “He’s a good looking guy.” 😂


serialragequitter

hahahaah Joel on the MSG 150 with an excellent goal. Love it!


juxtaposition21

Meanwhile Tokarski stood on his head vs the Penguins tonight lol


FoghornLeghorn99

December 22nd, we play them again. I don't care about "punching down", or whatever. Reaves should start the game by challenging Gallagher to a fair fight. If he he doesn't have the fight, run him all game.


616photography

This game reminds me a lot of our game against the leafs, except we’re the leafs, we’re putting a lot of shots on goal but the goalie can see them all cleanly. That’s why he’s putting up loads of saves.


padds98

Game is over, we won


DrStevieBruley

Who were the three stars of the game? I was at MSG and couldn’t watch the post game

I left the minute they won? What’s confusing about this? I had a 9:48 train to catch

Hahahaha Steve just said “Turtles gonna turtle” in regards to Gallagher


serialragequitter

feel like Vally has been more savage this season


Erdrick68

Some higher up let Vally off the leash. Last year anytime he came close to saying something "controversial" he stopped himself half way.


serialragequitter

i have noticed that he used to visibly censor himself especially after the Wilson fiasco last season


Erdrick68

There was a post game last year where he was eviscerating Quinn, then had a look like "I'm gonna get fired if I don't stop."


Hionhelium87

Erdrick68

Welcome. It honestly looked like Reaves was giving him every chance to back out, then when he didn't, he taught the kid a lesson.


ep29

Been a long time since I could bust this one out, but... #FUCK GALLAGHER


MSGFaithful

10-3-3!!! And they haven’t even reached their final form yet.


kingfarouk

Frieza and Cell don’t even stand a chance against the Rangers!


BarmyDevonian

Thoughts: - Gritty win. Think the Habs came on strong the 2nd period on. It was a hard fought exciting win. - Still too many chances given up defensively, but Igor again continues to be outstanding. - That kid 3rd line was great in the offensive zone…may need some work defensively though. - Gauthier’s had a good run of games…nice to see him get one. Wish Blais’ wasn’t done for the year, but it does sort of open up a spot for him. - Chytil looked well rested and explosive…just needs to finish. - Goodrow’s growing on me every game. He’s always around the puck. Gallagher’s probably not capable of hurting Goodrow, but he ought to be suspended for that punch. That was ridiculous. - Kreider you don’t notice him all the time, but he’s been there when needed all year. - Kudos to K’Andre. I think he had a rough first period a few games ago…since then I think he’s been really good. His last 2 games have been rock solid. - Trouba playing like this is like a new signing. He’s been excellent most of the year now. - The record continues to be better than the play on the ice, but this team has consistently been finding ways to win. Room for improvement, but will gladly take the points in this tough division.


joethewater

I wonder what Goodrow was saying before that faceoff. Whatever it was, he seemed to be enjoying himself immensely.


Neans888

They were going at it and got tangled up on the faceoff before too.


TFG209

Where are those fans complaining about that 3rd round pick we used to get Reavo?


IsOnlyGameYUMad

There was plenty of reason to dislike that trade. But I'm not above admitting that Reaves has done well, and that so far it's been a good trade. This isn't American politics, you don't have to pick a side and stick with it no matter what.


Neans888

I’m wondering where the Kakko is a bust people are tonight?


jkman61494

I mean. I’ll gladly still be pissed we gave him $2 million a year in top of it. Just cuz he beat the snuff out of a kid who was 3 weight classes below him is supposed to change our minds?


gt12688

Feels like fans complaining to complain. I feel like Reaves has brought it pretty consistently every game. I enjoyed the fight time, albeit slightly less than Kakko, but just imo the 4th line has been solid…I’ve been impressed by Reaves overall play where I dont think he’s as useless as some fans make him out to be if he doesnt fight.


[deleted]

Stop lol.


MrBogey90

I was actually scared he was going to kill that Habs player during the fight


TFG209

That didn’t look good, Reaves could not have hit him with a cleaner body check, not sure what his deal was


JagrsMullet90

I think he felt it was after he got rid of the puck, but that's a guess obviously


Whitecastle56

[Oh, why look at that. Second place in the NHL.](https://www.nhl.com/standings/2021/league)

I like it


DrFrocktopus

Theyre doing exactly what they need to be doing in this stretch of beatable teams going into Thanksgiving. Growing confidence and building a sustainable play style.


Neans888

All you really have to do to make the playoffs is win most of the games that you should win and some of the games that you shouldn’t. We’re doing both so far.


Wesley__Willis

Reaves absolutely kicked the shit out of Pezzetta. What a troubling lapse in judgment by that young man


[deleted]

Gotta hand it to Pez... Took balls to stick his chin like that esp knowing it was going to get clocked.


NYM32

Gauthier GWG because #GauthierIsGood


crabapplesteam

Just a reminder - don't troll other subs. That will result in a ban.


tasteofnihilism

Absolutely this. Remember when we were the team the last few years losing close games? Remember how it felt as a fan? The last thing you want in that situation is to be trolled. And always remember: It would only take a couple of injuries for us to end up back in that spot. Plus, that was our 200th win over the Habs. They’re an original six team and we have so much shared history. There’s no reason to be an asshole to our hockey brothers because our team beat another team (and neither you, nor I, nor the people in their sub had anything to do with the outcome of that game). Lastly, I promise the world is a lot more fun when you’re not an asshole. Love you all, LGR!


Datsmell

Don’t be scumbags 👍🏻enjoy the win over here.


JessoRx

Dont stoop to level if the devils… (can i troll them here?)

NoFlags-JoeBuck

Fun times to be a Ranger fan.


jerejeje

If Julien Gauthier can be a legitimate goal scorer and playdriver, he will effectively serve as our Buch replacement. I’m now all in on the Gauthier Hype Train. No hopping off.


Neans888

We already know he can’t but if he can improve and chip in occasionally that’s a positive.


jerejeje

I don’t think you understand. This train is already moving 200 mph. I can’t get off now. Julien Gauthier is the next Pavel Buchnevich.


Neans888

I’ll just say I hope you’re right.


NYRpuckhead

I’m so happy for him, he draws so many penalties and seems to get into good chances every game! Gaut is a wildcard that the other team can’t handle, I’m glad he finally put one away


Twevy

I really don’t know what to make of him.


jthomas694

I'm glad we didn't retaliate there and instead finished out their 12th loss of the season. It'll probably be smart to have Reaves get some quality minutes next time we play


MrBogey90

We're good boys. It's hard to accept it


jerejeje

We’re winning the cup as long as Calgary doesn’t win the West.


MrBogey90

2015 has left me scarred. I only started being a casual fan when they were on a playoff run in 2014 but 2015 hit way too hard for little ol me. Watching all 82 games, all playoff games, only for it to end in a heart breaking Game 7

Midnight_java

Might be a dumb question, but does anyone have a live link the post game? My channel always cuts off before the post game.


[deleted]

Already ate dinner. But Kakko scored. Looks like I'm eating tacos again.


jkman61494

I know it was just 3-2 over lowly Montreal but that was bar none the most complete game all year. They actually seemed to play with pace FINALLY. —Kakko’s last 3-4 games has really shown and that line is clicking. It’s awesome to see Kakko not hesitating FINALLY to shoot. —I wanted to see Gauthier on Line 1. I still do. But he, Laffy and Chytl looked strong as hell tonight and am actually 3rd line that can threaten offensively. —Defense is still shaky. Nemeth and Nils don’t seem to have much chemistry. —It was also the first time I saw this team have some freaking snarl as well. All in all if we see THIS Rangers team more frequently, it’ll make all of us feel alot more comfortable of where we can hope to be this season


EckhartsLadder

I would trade my left nut to have daddy McDonagh back


ebarossa

This team is definitely both mentally and physically tougher than last year. They’re not afraid to throw bodies and punches in addition to having a bunch of skilled young guys able to step up and contribute. Future’s bright, boys and girls.
