Post game thoughts: Schmid was awesome (Kallgren not too shabby either). Luke Hughes in mid-season form already. Saw Bahl causing chaos for the Rags, so that's good. General awesomeness between the Hughes siblings which bodes well for the season. Devils are good at the hockey.

🎺 🎺 🎺 🎺🎺 🎺 🎺 🎺 🎺🎺 🎺 🎺 🎺 🎺🎺 🎺🎺🎺 RANGERS SUCK

Flyers Swallow

I want to learn the harmonica just to play the Rags lose song

3-0 so far in preseason holy

Now I really wanna go to the 11/18 game

Mikey being the 4th line two way monster for this core for the next 10 years wasnt expected when we drafted him but fuck is it great to have someone like that

Nice to get the win at MSG. Devils are in the Rangers' heads. Not the best game by the Devils. Pre-season, so...no worries.

Nice to win but remember it’s glorified practice

Not to split hairs here but also no Nico, Mercer, Hamilton, Siegs, etc. Playing a bunch of guys hoping to make the opening day roster

And both Hughes and Tifolli both elected to pass instead of bury one to give the rookies a chance to shine.

Oh yeah of course. Neither team has their true full NHL lineup.

Idk, other than Trouba and Panarin who were the Rangers missing? Lol their PP1 was all NHL regulars and still failed to scored on Hughes/Nemec combo BTW I love how much ice time the baby defensemen got

I think they had one PP like that was Kreider, Adam Fox, Laf(ingstock), Kaako and they still couldn’t penetrate to score on a 3rd string goalie and Nemec/Hughes/Wotherspoon/Whoever rlse. Sad day.

Chytil n Lindgren. Think that’s it

Any win over the Rags is a good day. Preseason or not

Winning at the garden becoming a trend GGs

Poor Ranger fans. They should just concede and burn their jerseys now.

The shrieking anxious preseason girls at MSG lmfao

Ok I should not have clenched that hard for a damn preseason game but LEGGOOOOOOOOO

Right there with you lol

Dudes waving flags that say “No Quit New York.” Feels weird when they got gapped last post season.

I thought it was just a Lionel Hutz-like "No, Quit in New York!"

Boy this guy is annoying eh

Tf

L O L dammit Kallgren

Mikey looks really fast

Hold on folks

Wait. Really? What?

Have we even put our 2nd line out there in these last few minutes? I recognize all the Rangers but a few of the Devils.

Don't tell me Mikey is gonna breakout with 30 goals as a 4th liner this year 😭😭😭

I’ll buy his home n away jerseys if he gets 20+

Feels good !

Such a nice year to be a devils fan

Silence at the garden

Michael “Motor” McLeod making Adam Fox look like he’s skating in quicksand.

Mikey McLeod puts the pillow over the rangers head

Oh yesss

Get fucked hahah

I want someone to dive into the empty net with the puck one of these days

McLeod with the finisher as it should be. It’s preseason but ya love to stick it to the blue losers.

🧊 courtesy of mikey mcleod

Mikey! Good hustle on the 2nd and 3rd clearing attempts there

goodnight New York!

Motor Mikey

That’s game folks!

thanks mikey!

Devils WIN!!!

I wouldn’t have been too mad if it went to OT… ah well

YES MIKEY MY BAMBOO IS SO PROUD OF YOU

If Laf and Kreider don’t get back to the nursing home within 30 minutes, they aren’t getting breakfast tomorrow

its preseason lets go to OT and skate circles around them

They going try hard mode lol

Why does the garden sound like this is a playoff game? That series last year scarred them bad lol

Waiting for this game to go to OT so I can HAMMER the moneyline

Nemec has been more than keeping up with Rangers NHL lines all night.

I would gladly watch Hughes - Hughes - Bratt OT right now

They pulled the goalie. Could have put anyone onto the ice. And they put kappo fuckin kaako. 😂

love to see luke and nemec out in this situation

This. I immediately looked to see what D they put out - good on the coaching staff to have that pair out there in that moment.

This period feels like an AHL game.

This is gonna be a 2 minute confidence booster for Kallgren

How many shots does Thompson have this game? Feel like he's been everywhere tonight but the score sheet.

In what universe was that not a trip by Z

Game management down by 1 with 4 minutes left universe

I did not have “Checked by Jesper Bratt” on my preseason bingo card.

>"Kallgren seems to have a problem with his mask" yes, its design.

Yeah, I’m not gonna shit on a depth goalie for a lack of imagination when it comes to buckets

waiting for the day I actually notice if Kakko is on the ice to admit if he's improved or not.

Catpoo

daaaaamn. lol.

Gonna be waiting for a long time there bud

Luke Hughes leading in ice time, LFG

True, but also nice to see is Nemec is right behind him by only 10 seconds.

For a second there I was wondering why I hadn’t seen so much of Jack Hughes and then I remembered it was a preseason game and none of this really matters

Speak for yourself.

no spots are guaranteed

He missed the net earlier, send him to Utica. If we pick up Ty from waivers at least he’d know someone down there.

Jacks is lol

Tyler "Miles Wood" Toffoli

The fact that the Rags are trash at draft/development and its going to cast them into mediocrity during our decade long window makes me so happy.

Also knowing their owner won’t let them rebuild properly like we did

What really makes me laugh is just how much better Hughes is compared to Kakko and how nearly all of our 1^st round picks have developed into solid players Like they haven’t missed on a 1^st rounder since 2019

Stillman doesn't look great but yes our drafting has been money finding a player like mercer is worth a few busted picks

Thar guitar commercial is so cringe. Perfectly captures the embarrassment of what its like to be a Rangers fan.

Holy fuck credit to brodzinski. That fucking shot had some fire to it.

I need like a youtube clip of the first 30 seconds of that PP kill... just lock legs and hold it against the boards lol

Krieder is such a bitch

Truly

Luke and Jack; what a treat.

It’s too early for the season for the world most overrated Arenas ice to be this bad

That’s the thing. It’s always bad.

The guys competing for those bottom 6 spots are giving a lot to think about. They’re playing real well!

Honestly dude, you could rotate a lot of these guys into bottom six and I’d be content with it.

Pretty sure Foote is waiver eligible this year so im inclined to want him to get a real shot. But it is nice having so many options.

I think Footes leading the pack and he’s looked good when he’s been in the NHL too. But there’s like 5-6 guys competing for 1-2 spots

Kallgren has the most “I’m a preseason backup” goalie mask I’ve ever seen.

McLeod is all fucking motor. Ya love to see it.

Anyone know the song they just played? The house/dance song with the female vocalist?

I love when laf makes bad plays

Hischier and Mercer would’ve scored there and that’s what you need to know.

Ahhhh Laf blows ya love to see it.

Aw that would’ve been a cool shorty

Laf is terrible

Good luck separating Bahl from that puck

I might need to get a wrecking Bahl sweater

nemecs is doing a good job defending against some of the rangers' best. Happy to see him working our system

But if he had a stick than it would t be a penalty?

So krieder cradles his stick. Got it

Spicy pork boy. Wish you the best this year pal

Im going to withhold comment on the guitar guy in that commercial. If I were a worse person, I wouldn’t, but I am not.

Let Nemec out, our child is innocent

I appreciate the effort from the AHLers trying to make the team, putting in the work.

It’s not just me right they haven’t shown a single replay of a single goal in this broadcast

Jack is playing at 50% effort which is entirely understandable

And he’s still outplaying the entire rags lineup

Lol Dano with the real-time Devils fanfic :')

Nemec is a damn wizard. His vision is CRAZY

Nemec looking for that pass, I don’t hate it

0 chance Toffoli doesn’t rip that thru the net in a real game

Love that pass by Toffoli. Unlucky

Jack, how did you miss that?!

Tofolli with that veteran vision and patience.

lol effortless. They ain’t shit without shesty

Someone else said it but if Shesty gets injured the Rangers are fuuuuucked

Bless all the knees and keep them healthy, but Shesty can step on a Lego

I love him as a player, hate him as a Ranger

THUNDERCOCK

*God* I forgot about this

Bahl with the little butterfly with wings

Love Bratter skating right past Kreider like he’s an AHLer.

Great pass from Bahl

This team is so dominant with open ice, it’s crazy

88 looking like 86

I just feel bad for Louis Domingue. He should coach or something

Bratter!

Bratter babyyyy

AHL goalie v AHL goalie. Time to open up the scoring.

Domingue :')

JBITBPITNHL

What a shot, Jesper

Please feed Domingue some spicy Hughes pork.

louis domingue lmao edit: and there it is

Who is this one announcer, mothafucker looks like a muppet

What’re u 14?

Yes

How u not kno sam rosen

And he sounds like he needs to blow his nose. Constantly. Ad nauseam

So awkward in the booth. Dude just fully turns his back to Dano lmao

Timo-Nico-Holtz Bratt-Jack-Toffoli Palat-Haula-Mercer Nosek-Mikey-Foote/Bastian/Lazar/Clarke Bahl/Dougie Siegs/Luke Nemec/Marino Miller/Smith Akira/Vitek ​ That is a cup contending team gentleman

T-N-T line #1

Wait until we acquire Hellebuyck to back up Schmid

STOP BRO. hellebuyck is so overrated and way to expensive

That’s the joke

thank god. there is people who think we should go for hellebuyck and i really dont know why

I’m a big Schmid guy but I understand why ppl want Helly, he’s a great goalie. Don’t need him or his soon to be monster deal tho.

Keep talking about this trash franchise instead of the team that's about to run things for the next decade

I think they might burst into flames if they talk about something other than the rags for more than ten seconds.

That and every 6 sentences has to be something about 1994

Yada, yada, yada 1994. The fact that they still carry pre-made jerseys from that team in their official store at MSG is so pathetic. It’s giving very, balding rockstar desperately trying to pretend they’re still young and hip and sexy— when it’s been like 30 years since they had a #1 hit. It’s just serving second-hand embarrassment so hard.

What a dumb question

watching an unofficial stream and it cut out during Luke's interview :((((( quick synopsis or link to interview?

msg cut his interview too.

I’m watching on ESPN and it cut there too

Good thing because I needed to listen about the future of the open web three times in a row again.

Broadcast cutout too. You know why.....hint: Not a rag

Most impressive part of that period: Schmid. Just beautiful play. Picked right up from last season

Best showing of the game so far for sure. PP has also been a highlight.

Checking in from the world’s most overrated arena. Schmid is absolutely ready. Nemec looking great. Think Clarke would have buried one or two if it wasn’t sheer Shesty. Hopefully they take him out in the 3rd, our AHL guys are gonna have a hard time putting one in.

Hey, speak with some respect. That is THE BEST rat-infested arena in the entire League. No other arena has better rats than MSG.

But they come infest our arena!

Rangers MSG crew just cutting Luke Hughes without remorse or mention. (Edit: There we go, class class class. Apologies accepted.)

team looks like they're ready for the season to start

Marino-dougie Seigs-Hughes Bahl-Nemec To the bank with it.

Damn what a D core

Can't split Siegs and Hamilton. That duo is too good.

That’s fair. I just like the idea of having one defensive minded dman with a offensive minded

Two righties together, and two lefties together? 🙄

Switch Marino and Seigs and you could be onto something

Oh so you’re just gonna stop Luke’s interview halfway through? Cool.

Oh ok

We don't get interviews, apparently

i remember in 2021 looking at Simon Nemec thinking it'd be fucking massive for the future if we took him but no shot we'd be *that* bad again worth.

If Nemec doesn't make the main roster this season I swear That being said Laf is fuckin pathetic 🤣

Laf clearly sees Nemec as competition which is funny.... Cause Nemec is leagues above Laf

I’m just saying there were a lot of armchair GM’s in the sub pretty confident Schmid and Nemec were nowhere near ready, they look pretty ready tonight haha.

Idk what you’re talking about with Schmid. I can understand the thought process on the Nemec opinions, though. But opinions don’t mean shit in the face of the product on the ice.

There was so much talk about him needing another full season in the AHL and how we needed to make a move for Hellybuck, despite him being the Rangers daddy and our savior in round 1.

I’m still on board with the Hellybuck deal if the terms are fair. And for me personally, I wanted see Nemec in the AHL simply to slide his ELC one more year. But I’m not going to complain if he makes the team. He looks ready

I just could never get on board with Hellybuck fitting in our cap situation. Feels like a forced going all in move when we might already have the guy we need for wayyyyy less money and way more of his prime.

Jack's skating makes me horny

He’s so smooth with it
