History of a Rivalry: New York Rangers Vs New Jersey Devils

[NYRangersfan26]

Maybe not yet, but he still has at least a good 5 years left in him. Depending on what happens, he might belong on that list.

[NYRangersfan26]

Well he does have a gold medal, and he's been nominated for the vezina trophy several times. He's also been selected to many All-Star games.

The thing he hasnt had is a competitive team in front of him for so many years, hopefully that will change in the near future. But without him the Rangers wouldn't have made the playoffs during some of the seasons they did. He's so important to the team, and that's why I think he's a superstar.....even if it's a lower end superstar.

[mrceebees14]

@NYRangersfan26 I already mentioned the Gold Medal about 2-3 posts ago, winning a gold medal is a team award, not individual. The only way it could be relevant, is if he had to heavily carry the team like Hasek used to in Buffalo. But that isn't the case here, if you saw and remembered that 2006 team, then you know Lundqvist did not carry them, that team was very deep in every position and probably the best team Sweden has ever iced.

[mrceebees14]

@NYRangersfan26 Superstars are names like Glenn Hall, Gump Worsley, Ken Dryden, Billy Smith, Patrick Roy, Martin Brodeur etc, etc,.

Do you really think Lundqvist belongs in that list?

[mrceebees14]

@nyyNYR2094 Lundmark, Brendl, Malhotra(the next MESSIER) Jessimen, Sangenetti.

The Rangers % wise have had the WORST drafting history in the history of the NHL. The Rangers either pick shit, trade the players or never play him because they buy too many UFAs in the off season.

You don't get it, the Rangers front office doesn't care, Dolan couldn't give a shit as long as he is making hordes of money which is what he does.........EVERY SEASON.

[NYRangersfan26]

@mrceebees14 really dude, the worst in history? Callahan, Staal, Stepan, Sauer, Anisimov, Dubinsky, Lundqvist, and Del Zotto are all players that we drafted. We also have a lot of other young guys on the way like Chris Kreider, Carl Hagelin, Jesper Fasth, Christian Thomas, etc.

Meanwhile, there's teams in the league like Columbus and Florida who have had high picks in the first round for 10 years, and what have they done???????

[mrceebees14]

@NYRangersfan26 Lundqvist is the only legit star the Rangers have. Ranger fans who's jealousy of the Devils having Brodeur now have become those Devils.

A mediocre team that has to be entirely carried by their goaltender, only, those Devils teams weren't made of glass like the Rangers and played a brutally efficient style of hockey.

[NYRangersfan26]

@mrceebees14 Superstar, yes, i'll agree Hank is the only one we have right now. however, you don't need a team of all superstars to win the cup. the majority of players we currently have are young hard workers with potential for success.

[mrceebees14]

@NYRangersfan26 Henrik is not a superstar, that would require some multiple amounts of hardware. Don't think because I mentioned Lundqvist in the same sentence as Brodeur that they have accomplished the same amount, Lundqvist is NOWHERE even close to the greatness Martin Brodeur has achieved in his career.

Lundqvist is a good goaltender, but superstar? ha, no.

[mrceebees14]

@NYRangersfan26 The Rangers are Lundqvist, that is basically it. The jury is still out of the others, even Callahan, who has to prove himself over a couple more seasons. Please see example A on "flash in the pan" players......Petr Prucha, who is flipping hamburgers in Nashville.

[NYRangersfan26]

@mrceebees14 Henrik is a superstar, and I never said he's close to what Brodeur has achieved, the Rangers are just not that strong of a team yet. But the point I was trying to make earlier was that most of the players the Rangers have now are young, and it's way too early to give up on any of them.

[mrceebees14]

@NYRangersfan26 Superstars goaltenders have Vezina trophies or a Conn Smythe or are the pivotal piece to a team winning the Cup.

Henrik has no such things. Don't let your fandom go to your head, he has won nothing.

[mrceebees14]

@NYRangersfan26 I was using Brodeur as an example of what a super star truly is, he is arguably the greatest goaltender in the history of the NHL and I am not a Devils fan. Winning a cup is a team effort, being a super star is based on personal achievement, Vezina Trophy, shut outs, winning the Conn Smythe like Thomas did because he was the main factor in the Bruins winning the cup.

You can't be a superstar when you have never won any big time individual awards.

[mrceebees14]

Mark Messier is full of shit, he said he never said those comments, now all these years later his stretched mark mouth is singing a different tune.

Ever see Messier attempt at broadcasting? "Bah bah bah buh buh bee bah bip"

Fucking retard, he probably was looking at the camera mans johnson and got all tongue tied.

But I can't completely ignore this mans contributions, he is without a doubt! The greatest homosexual hockey player the NHL has ever seen.

[mrceebees14]

Flyers 2 games away from the finals.

Could have been the Rangers......but........the Rangers suck.

[devilspjh]

mark messier was asked "Mark do you think you guys will win Game 6?" he simply responded: "Yeah, I do".

[mrceebees14]

Greatness the Rangers have never and probably never will ever acheive.

That says something, even for that 1 moment in time the Isles were one of the best in the sport to ever play.

What do the Rangers have? 1994? By far not one of the best teams in the 1990's, they barely won that cup. No, the Rangers are not known for dominating anything but spending stupidly as they did in the past which you can add A-LOT stupidly. And that would still exsist today if the rules hadn't changed.

[1hits2besthitback]

The thing I hate about the rangers is...

In HISTORY, the Devils are better than the rangers...

RIGHT NOW, the Devils are better than the rangers...

What I am trying to say is that the rangers will NEVER be as good as the Devils

[NYRfan171]

The Devils are better than the Rangers right now? HAHAHA, now THAT'S funny.

For 2 straight seasons already the Devils haven't made it past the first round of the playoffs. One of those was thanks to the NY Rangers.

[1hits2besthitback]

Thats cool cause last time I checked you guys finish in front of the Islanders....big accomplishment hahaha

[DQh0ck3y97]

@1hits2besthitback The thing I hate about the devils is...

In HISTORY, the Rangers have won more Stanley Cups...

RIGHT NOW, the devils cant wan a single playoff game...

The Rangers will never be as good as the devils? 4 is greater then 3.

[mrceebees14]

@DQh0ck3y97 It wasn't a cup when the Rangers won it back when the Dinosaurs roamed the Earth, it was a soup bowl.

If you want to see all of those Rangers that won it back then, you would have to go to the local Cemetery.

[DQh0ck3y97]

[Julian24151]

[DQh0ck3y97]

[Julian24151]

@DQh0ck3y97 I know that was sarcasm and it was stupid

[DQh0ck3y97]

@Julian24151 it wsa stupid? cmon man thats a little much. u reaally hurt my feelings

[mrceebees14]

You are just a dumbass.

[vadimzdonutube]

screw u, their 4 straight cup titles in the 80's proved to be a joke, they never won it since and struggle in the postseason

[mrceebees14]

4 straight titles is a joke? One year is a joke, when you repear 4 straight times, you are a dynasty and in an elite class.

You are retarded.

[vadimzdonutube]

you're all retarded and btw way to spell repeat wrong

[mrceebees14]

Correcting spelling on youtube is retarded.
