I don't blame Drury. Teams were asking for the Ranger's best prospects and/or their #1 which Dolan did not want to give up since the draft is being held at the Sphere, his property.

Exactly why this franchise has one cup in 84 years. 

Quote from: DaveBrown74 on Today at 08:48:50 PMIt's been a slow moving car crash ever since that ridiculous late penalty in game four, leading to the game winning goal for Carolina. Been a complete disaster since then. Our guys look utterly lethargic in comparison to the opponent.

At this point (second intermission) the Hurricanes are now a favorite in this series. I know nobody wants to hear that, and I don't either, but it's a fact.

Absolutely, this looks like the team that lost to Tampa and NJ the past two years. 

Quote from: Messiah717 on Today at 08:42:27 PMWhat a disgusting collapse this is going to be.  While there's no excuse when you're up 3-0 in a series a lot of this will rest on Drury's shoulders.  Added absolutely nothing at the deadline to help the Rangers in the playoffs.  Two guys who lack offense and are complete non factors.

Carolina wants it more. The Rangers are showing a deficiency I thought they had before the season started, the need for more speed. You all know how I feel about certain intangibles, the need to play a mean game.

Is it too early to start our pre season predictions?

The Sporting News does this game by game--win/loss and has us 7-10

Week   Date   Opponent   Prediction
1   Sept. 8   vs   Minnesota Vikings   Win
2   Sept. 15   at   Washington Commanders   Win
3   Sept. 22   at   Cleveland Browns   Loss
4   Sept. 26   vs   Dallas Cowboys    Loss
5   Oct. 6   at   Seattle Seahawks   Loss
6   Oct. 13   vs   Cincinnati Bengals   Loss
7   Oct. 20   vs   Philadelphia Eagles   Loss
8   Oct. 28   at   Pittsburgh Steelers   Win
9   Nov. 3   vs   Washington Commanders   Win
10   Nov. 10   at   Carolina Panthers   Win
11   BYE   BYE
12   Nov. 24   vs   Tampa Bay Buccaneers   Loss
13   Nov. 28   at   Dallas Cowboys   Loss
14   Dec. 8   vs   New Orleans Saints   Win
15   Dec. 15   vs   Baltimore Ravens   Loss
16   Dec. 22   at   Atlanta Falcons   Win
17   Dec. 28 or 29   vs   Indianapolis Colts   Loss
18   Jan. 4 or 5   at   Philadelphia Eagles   Loss
Record prediction: 7-10

Again, I know it's early but we love these sorts of things.

Myself, I do not see us beating the Steelers in Pitts and the NO is a tossup as to how the season has progressed. I see us beating the Colts but after that, unless something drastic happens, I see a 6-11, 7-10 season.

Quote from: miss86 on Today at 08:35:59 PMI think Atlanta is going to be tuff this year. I think they are going to be a good team with QB Cousins and Giants playing in their stadium. The good part is, it will be much warmer there than the NE.

I agree about Atlanta. They have some legit weapons, and now they will finally have competent QB play. Could be an interesting team this year. I won't be surprised at all if they win that division.

 Here is today's question of the day.

1 out and a runner on 1st base

The runner is stealing on the pitch. The batter trying to protect the runner, swings and misses the pitch but his momentum carries him over home plate and sort of inhibits the catcher's throw to 2nd. The runner is safe at second.

Is this legal and play continues?

a---Batter stays up and the runner stays at 2nd as the batter's action wasn't intentional
b--- Batter stays at bat but the runner has to return to 1st base.
c--- Batter is out for interfering with the catcher's throw but the runner stays at 2nd
d---Batter is out for interfering with the catcher's throw and runner returns to 1st.
e-- it's a do-over
