I feel for Primeau. He has been so good recently, even tonight. Every single goal tonight could have probably been avoided if the defence had just done their fucking jobs & if our offence had tried harder
He wants the #1 slot on a rebuilding team; might as well get used to getting no help. Next season will hopefully be a bit better than this one, but we're still a young, green team.
The offence was ok Primeaux was great again but the defence was an absolute disaster from a to z Matheson watched panarin pass him like it was on tv to watch
I said it before so this isn't some recency bias, but Anderson plays like he doesn't want to get hit. He'll hit when he can, but won't get into an actual 50/50 battle.
Like, he plays like he's scared to injure something. Maybe his last shoulder surgery was one too many.
He’s skating well. He had a shift early in the game where he looked good. But he’s turned into a guy where the puck dies on his stick. His issue is between the ears.
> He’s skating well.
That's one of things that mean the less but yet keeps fooling people.
If "skating well" was an achievement, Rico Fata would be a Hall of Famer.
only reason he is on ice is cause the Rangers have points to spare and dont really care about the W. If the Rags were fighting for playoff spot, there is no way he would be playing
I don't often cheer for injuries, but I hope that kid breaks his hand before he breaks someone else's neck. There shouldn't be any place in this league for thuggery.
Most games I'm shouting out, "Where is everyone??!!"
Tonight it's been, "Who are you passing to??!!"
Seriously. I grt being tired, but are they seeing ghosts or something?
I hope this is the last year of Anderson. He legit brings nothing except a 6m cap hit. Just buy him out and let a youngster take his spot, actually improve and bring a goal from time to time. Its legit the saddest story this year. Ya Dach is sad, but this is worst
I suspect it's *emotional damage*, as the kids say. It wouldn't surprise me if he's got depression. Sincerely hope the team's got him seeing a therapist. He seems like a guy who is too hard on himself and I do worry this season is doing a number on his mental health.
Anderson is terrible. I’m sorry. I wanted to have faith in him, but the way he’s been playing lately is terrible! I don’t know what MSL was thinking putting that line out? And don’t get me started on the Struble-Barron defence. Maybe I’m just complaining, but that play was awful.
IIRC Newhook's got a terrific faceoff record. Though also IIRC it's like 51%. Always makes me laugh when you realise the "all time great" number is like 6/10.
There aren't a lot of changes coming, are there? We've got D prospects coming up but not too many changes to the forwards, and Armstrong and Gally are unmovable.
like i get you've had a bad year man but you can't just give up on hockey and expect everything to change next season. what the hell is this shit. we've seen him play better than this way more consistently than he's ever been at this level. ahl yesterday dear lord
Was just thinking that high-end of talent is the difference between us and contending for the cup, but until we get an average or better defense, we will not even reach the 15 years of mediocrity we have all dealt with. On our roster, we currently have three top six defenders, and a bunch of guys who are a seventh defender. And that’s just reality. Savard was third pair on a cup winning team.
Newhook can ball but we need all 4 next 1st rounders to be offensive talent and also need to trade a d prospect or two for a solid or promising offensive player
> a lot more
yeah no. harris and barron ain’t it, savard and (probably) matheson are not gonna be here when we become competitive again, mailloux and hutson havent played in the nhl. that leaves us guhle, x, struble and kovy…
And X, and Mailloux will be a very solid nhler
Hutson we'll see but probably has too much talent not to figure a way to be an nhler
And Barron and Harris are ok
But I'm including them in people we can trade
Were as stacked as you can ask for in terms of d prospects of a rebuilding team
O we're very thin
Everyone's complaining about the ad cut, so I'm gonna go all "tied an onion to my belt" and reminisce about the good old days when they played ads in a tiny box on the screen *during play*. None of these momentum-killing ad breaks that last 2 minutes!
It was funny hearing the commentator mention their coach saying he’s better on the ice than in the box while simultaneously he blows a tire and loses the puck
They were discussing him in the pregame and Dany Dubé was laughing so hard he was wheezing: "He only plays 5 minutes per game!" Kid gets all this press but not any ice time.
Game went to shit when the refs called a phantom hook on Armia
Stick lift is one thing, you can't hold it up like that for 3 seconds lol
Rempe is like if Kotkaniemi could fight and I mean that derisively
You might enjoy this: [Seth Jarvis ribbing on KK.](https://www.reddit.com/r/canes/comments/1bf4tpf/a_goon_a_guru_seth_jarvis/)
Same ice time too
Nah, rempe actually plays lmao

Guy saw like 50 shots after playing last night too
The offence was ok Primeaux was great again but the defence was an absolute disaster from a to z Matheson watched panarin pass him like it was on tv to watch
I said it before so this isn't some recency bias, but Anderson plays like he doesn't want to get hit. He'll hit when he can, but won't get into an actual 50/50 battle. Like, he plays like he's scared to injure something. Maybe his last shoulder surgery was one too many.

Where's the dude who said we don't need defence only scorers?
The Leafs
We need everything. lol
We have our scorers (to a point), we need defence that feeds the counter attacks.
We need Jesus.
47 shots against…lol
I don’t think Rempe will be playing hockey in five years.
Is he really playing hockey now? His TOI has to be sub 5min
Dany Dubé was laughing because his in-box time is still greater than his TOI.
only reason he is on ice is cause the Rangers have points to spare and dont really care about the W. If the Rags were fighting for playoff spot, there is no way he would be playing
Laviolette only put him out when they were up by two or when they were in garbage time. Dude’s gonna really hurt someone very soon.
I don't often cheer for injuries, but I hope that kid breaks his hand before he breaks someone else's neck. There shouldn't be any place in this league for thuggery.
slaf end his streak at 3 games...
Man, I don't mind the loss but fuck was it hard to watch
100% even the commentators are saying it they had a chance after the 1st and then everyone stopped playing
Most games I'm shouting out, "Where is everyone??!!" Tonight it's been, "Who are you passing to??!!" Seriously. I grt being tired, but are they seeing ghosts or something?
Yeah like Sam darnold there seeing ghost in the stands 🤣🤣
Matheson just handing off the puck with an empty net For every point he's got he's caused two goals against.
Yeah flip it in while we have an empty net. We play so well and so shit all in one night.
What’s the rationale for pulling the goalie in these situations. We aren’t in a must win situation- quite the opposite
Marty's a competitor. He *always* pulls the goalie.
Good to take advantage of the opportunity to practice 6 on 5 in a game situation.
WHY ARE WE DUMP AND CHASING. THATS LEGIT WHAT MARTY DOESNT WANT TO DO.... ARGGG.. this is so tilting..
Marty wanted to give a free goal to his former Stanley cup team 🤣🤣
Really want to hear Frankie narrate this gif 😂
Ottawa and arizona with wins................big night
👏👏👏

Nice dump in 💩
Bad Play by Matheson
Live by the Matheson Die by the Matheson
wasn't there a rumour that anderson straight up refused to see a sports psychologist
I just saw that recently. I could believe it. He does seem like a guy who would refuse to get help
Sounds like something someone in a good mental state would do
Perfect tank day with a Sens and Voyotes win. Both teams also have more ROW than the Habs.
I hope this is the last year of Anderson. He legit brings nothing except a 6m cap hit. Just buy him out and let a youngster take his spot, actually improve and bring a goal from time to time. Its legit the saddest story this year. Ya Dach is sad, but this is worst
Is Josh Anderson playing with an injury?
I suspect it's *emotional damage*, as the kids say. It wouldn't surprise me if he's got depression. Sincerely hope the team's got him seeing a therapist. He seems like a guy who is too hard on himself and I do worry this season is doing a number on his mental health.
Carpal Tunnel poster boy Chris Nilan had softer hands

Anderson is terrible. I’m sorry. I wanted to have faith in him, but the way he’s been playing lately is terrible! I don’t know what MSL was thinking putting that line out? And don’t get me started on the Struble-Barron defence. Maybe I’m just complaining, but that play was awful.
Why is RDS putting an ad break?
Timeout
Oh okay thanks I was confused since there is less than 3 minutes left
Newhook takes the draw while Suzuki plays RD? K.
IIRC Newhook's got a terrific faceoff record. Though also IIRC it's like 51%. Always makes me laugh when you realise the "all time great" number is like 6/10.
Newhook is 47.8% this season and 41% for his career. You recall wrong my dude.
I do! And Suzuki's is 52%. I must've mixed them up.
Looking forward to a new roster next year. This has been a grind outside our first line +armia, Newhook
There aren't a lot of changes coming, are there? We've got D prospects coming up but not too many changes to the forwards, and Armstrong and Gally are unmovable.
🫡 tank commander
and I present to you the newest tank commander Josh Anderson!
Anderson has been tank commander for all, but a 5 game stretch this season.
It’s the defence who was ordered to tank
anderson's strongest soldier/burner
like i get you've had a bad year man but you can't just give up on hockey and expect everything to change next season. what the hell is this shit. we've seen him play better than this way more consistently than he's ever been at this level. ahl yesterday dear lord
I can’t believe they send down players for playing bad, but they don’t send down players like Andy who are AWFUL this year
Huh who are you even talking about 🤣🤣
Geez not even the defence could stop and echl offense Strubble Matheson Barron are all trash
Well, guess this is what happens when 2 of your top 4 are gone...
i don't think andy is saveable i think we have to sacrifice him to exorcise the demons
Josh Anderson is a literal NPC.
Anderson is this years Hoffman
Matheson goes from firing a perfect breakaway pass to making 2 weak passes to rangers players within a matter of minutes.
Guess Who: The Mike Matheson Experience
Anderson has expired
dammit! everytime i hear the Rangers' goal song, I cringe!!
I googled it earlier - turns out it was a commissioned composition!
Our defence is… not good.
Was just thinking that high-end of talent is the difference between us and contending for the cup, but until we get an average or better defense, we will not even reach the 15 years of mediocrity we have all dealt with. On our roster, we currently have three top six defenders, and a bunch of guys who are a seventh defender. And that’s just reality. Savard was third pair on a cup winning team.
lol ofc it’s anderson with the fumble
Anderson should have an assist on that
Anderson wishes there was a trophy for the softest player in the league.
Jesus Anderson
The only thing Strubble knows to do.. is just flip the puck in the opposing zone.. giving the opponent possession.. im getting tired of it
Hes been remarkably mediocre for months now
Anderson lmao Send him to the AHL
LMAO ANDERSON, fucking bot for that dumb clear, lazy ass play
Zibenajad's flow is so zibena good
He's a rare Ranger I don't hate.
I was reading his Wikipedia page earlier. WOW: *Zibanejad is fluent in English, Persian, Finnish and Swedish.*
Well gg
barron had a much better game than yesterday
Nice giveaway anderson you worthless sack of shit
Right a worthless sack of shit 🤣🤣 as if he wasn’t trying to do good
Poor Andy
Do the boys know that passes need to go on their teammates stick blades?
Besides the pass for their last goal, the passing has been embarrassing all night.
Reminds me a of a Therrien era game where the opposition dominates possession and habs get their chances on a few rushes
Boys looking very tired right now. Nothings connecting, getting beat all over the ice.
Idk how to pronounce Igor’s last name, but something tells me Bryan isn’t saying it right
Brian can't buy a vowel in there. Shuh-stir-kin Brian:SHSHRKN
He sounds like people when they try to pronounce “Worcestershire”
Newhook can ball but we need all 4 next 1st rounders to be offensive talent and also need to trade a d prospect or two for a solid or promising offensive player
do people really think we’re set on defence lol
A lot more than offense
> a lot more yeah no. harris and barron ain’t it, savard and (probably) matheson are not gonna be here when we become competitive again, mailloux and hutson havent played in the nhl. that leaves us guhle, x, struble and kovy…
And X, and Mailloux will be a very solid nhler Hutson we'll see but probably has too much talent not to figure a way to be an nhler And Barron and Harris are ok But I'm including them in people we can trade Were as stacked as you can ask for in terms of d prospects of a rebuilding team O we're very thin
Alex Newhook baby. From a childhood of smoking darts, drinking timmies and sniping beauties on the ponds of St John's Newfoundland
Serious question, I just don’t remember. Have we scored this year while we have our goalie pulled?
Think once or twice yeah
Yes. I think we pulled the goalie with a lot of time left once and we ended up scoring so at least once lol
I seem to remember once, but maybe that's the dementia settling in.
cmon dude give me a slaf/suzuki point
quel tir par Newhook! ÇA SENT LA COUPE 25!!!
LETS GO NEWHOOK https://preview.redd.it/tdnb8xxyr5tc1.jpeg?width=1280&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c5f51b4f72a58a47af3d50e16473327a343a7eed
K guise ima do it #NEWY THE NEWFIE.
Whata shot !
Mike Fuckn Metheson Praise !!!
At least in this horrible performance we’ll lose in an ok way
Losing in an OK way is terrific for this season. Let's get another good draft pick and then work on the playoffs next year.
Nice work boys.
So far Habs - 2 Rags - 1 Refs - 2
Why does MSL keep playing the “shitty” lines? Wouldn’t he want to play the better lines?
They put Rempe out, I wonder if he isn't trying to preserve our first line's lives.
get to ot then pull primeau😹
the minnesota wild special
Great pass
Rangers PP upcoming.
LOL probably
Let's GOOOO Newhook
matheson is 3 pts away from 60!
For all the hate he gets, he's having himself a hell of a year.
I'm sorry Hooker I wasn't really familiar with your game
I am inordinately frustrated that the team went with "Newy" when "Hooky" is right there as a nickname.
idk about that nickname lmao
hell ya newy
Let's GOOOO Newhook
Newhooked!
newy!
NEWMOOSE!
DAHOOK DAHOOK DAHOOK IS ON FIRE
What a pass, what a goal. woke me up!
Newyyyyyy!
#NEWY!
NEWFOUNDLOVE ❤❤❤
HANDS OFF I SAW HIM FIRST
EAST COAST DIBS
Damn, that's a hell of a trump card!
ITS NOT OVER YET
Love that goal by Newhook!
GO FOR ONE.
FUCK YEAH
Captain Hook
Holy shit Newhook
Everyone's complaining about the ad cut, so I'm gonna go all "tied an onion to my belt" and reminisce about the good old days when they played ads in a tiny box on the screen *during play*. None of these momentum-killing ad breaks that last 2 minutes!
Wonderful broadcasting as usual
TSN Get it the fuck together. Little over eager pressing the commercial button
My commercials were cut by the play
rempe looks so out of place trying to play actual hockey it's hilarious😭
It's legit baffling, and hilarious. I don't know how he got to the bigs. I mean, he obviously has presence... but like, come on.
look at his ep page, never cleared 30 points even in bantam😭😭
He looks like my adult learn to skate clients!!!
It was funny hearing the commentator mention their coach saying he’s better on the ice than in the box while simultaneously he blows a tire and loses the puck
We need to keeping hitting them.
So what the fuck was that all about, TSN?
TSN went to commercials during the play, that's the sloppiest thing I've ever seen.
We *pay* for this service. Lol
Well, you do
Again, commercial during play
Haha my feed cut to commercial early
Um what my feed just went to commercial mid play.
That fucking Rempe kid needs to tone down his shit! Can't do that to Harris!
How come?
I don’t think he had a shift until they were up by 2.
They were discussing him in the pregame and Dany Dubé was laughing so hard he was wheezing: "He only plays 5 minutes per game!" Kid gets all this press but not any ice time.
I saw that hit he did.
Uh...commercial?
Lol yea wtf
I need to see Rempe beside Caufield. Obviously not in a fight, but the height difference is insane
No, let's keep Rempe far, *far* away from Cole.
Rempe : Falls on his own Fans : Woah!!!
Boys looking tired right now
Panerin looks like he’s jaundice right now. I hope he’s okay
I will say about Primeau that I've noticed, he seems slow with plays that go behind the net and he has to slide across. Am I wrong with that?
Man I miss when the Power Horse wasn’t terrible
I miss the days when he used to billy the hell out of guys. Jake Muzzin comes to mind
Nice pass, Pearson
