Hey RAS, can't wait until someone comments about us "circling the wagons" because they didn't realize my list of reasons to "like" the Rangers was mostly digs at other teams.

But I'm cool with wonderllama because he is a fan of a successful hockey team, and the Hawks fans who worship Satan, and I guess mook because Corey Perry seems like a cool guy. dak too because of that old-tyme Neids avatar. Posters with no question of faith.

But gently caress everyone else.

Lol, gently caress you too. Your opinions are still bad and you're probably unattractive.

I personally think the Tex's rangers story is more compelling than most nhl team names because there is actually a story and not just a board of directors deciding on a marketable name or a fan contest

Fan contests are all rigged anyway. Bakersfield (ECHL now, AHL next year) did a "fan contest" to decide the name and jersey. Wow look at that they're still the Condors but with Oilers (owners) colors, like what was reported. It's crazy!

Rangers, in addition to having the whiniest fan base, are the most boring, clutch-and-grabbiest team in the playoffs. Hank is an amazing goalie admittedly but seems like a kind of lovely, unlikeable rear end. He deserves whatever trophy he can single handedly drag the Rangers to, which realistically is the Eastern Conference championship at best.

I'd like Lundqvist a lot more if he didn't actively blame his defensemen for half the goals that get scored on him.

I get that he's an amazing goalie and ultra competitive, but I can't stand when goalies constantly stare down their d-men and raise their arms and blame them.

I can't think of a single player on the Lightning's roster that I dislike or think of as an rear end in a top hat. I mean, Drouin didn't do that great for me in fantasy but that's the pretty much the worst thing I can say about them.

But actually he is a cool dude with a cool family as seen on HBOs 24/7 so the Rangers continue to underwhelm on their burns are a cool hockey team with good fans
