Respond to this video... You must not remember that it was Hextall who also turned into a sieve in Quebec when the Nords got blown out 4-0 and it was Hextall who was the main reason. That is the reason the Nords got rid of him, if I remember, it was Thaibault who took his place with Fischaud as the back up, or the other way around. Hextall has an M.O. you can get under his skin by running him and that is exactly what guys like Messier did, they ran him all night and he starting fighting the puck
@dddd566 I said this was the worst team the Isles sent off into the playoffs and it's. I already said Hextall turned into a sieve more then he should of, so I am not making excuses, merely stating facts.
You must not remember, because DON MALONEY dismantled that 1993 team starting with Healy who he placed on waivers. It was Healy who got the Isles that far by playing out of his mind, so no, that 1994 was not at all the same.
@dddd566 That Ranger team, which now had 7 dynasty Oilers players who knew how to win playoff hockey and allowed the Rangers to boast 26 Stanley Cup rings (all with another team of course) went up against an Isles team that although should have done better, was greatly over matched. This is my second time having to say this to you, when the playoffs start, it's a new season.
@dddd566 Those aren't dopey excuses idiot, those are valid reasons. You are now thinking with your heart and not your head, time to wake up.
The only credit the Rangers get were for the Blues, they had a good team but the Kings layed down for the Rangers when they allowed the Rangers to bully them in that series. I said most of those games were played BEFORE the deadline, which means by March 24th, a team that was geared to win playoff games was firing on all cylinders.
@dddd566 slaughtered by the Isles. To me THAT is a team you should be asking that question to, Ranger fans of course don't remember that '81 series, but I do and there was no reason why the Rangers couldn't have done better. I would like you to answer that question for me.
@dddd566 to the Isles like crazy. The Rangers actually led the game 3-1 in game 1 at the Coliseum if I remember correctly, and then watched as the Rangers rang off 6 straight unanswered goals while Steve Baker tried to figure out how half the Islanders....even Anders Kallur were lighting him up like the Fourth of July? The Isles were horrid had their lips sticking out of the water trying to stop from drowning in the 1994 regular season, the Rangers in 1981 made it nearly to the finals, but got
@dddd566 history of sending teams into the playoffs are concerned. Now my question is to you, in 1981 when the Isles blew the Rangers out 4-0 with a final tally of goals at 22-8 in favor or those legendary Isles, what happened? This was the semi-finals, which we call the conference finals now. This was much like 1994 when the Rangers played the Devils, everyone knew whoever won this, was going to win the cup and beat the NorthStars. This was a very good Ranger team that should have taken it
@dddd566 Most of those games were played before the deadline that year, where the Rangers bolstered that line up big time. It still does not take away from the fact the Isles had a shit year for the most part, not to mention the fact that regular season stats mean nothing once the playoffs start. Hextall did let the team down, he held it together or the Isles would have been well out of the way of a playoff spot by Febuary. But the fact remains, the Rangers best vs the Isles worst where
This was the BEST team the Rangers had ever sent into the playoffs after expansion and this was the WORST Isles team that ever qualified for the playoffs.
Yet, Ranger fans think they beat the Dynasty Isles era teams.
They beat an Isles team that had only been above .500 once that entire year, which was the very last game when they beat Florida and Buffalo lost.
How many playoff games have the Islanders won since the Rangers DESTROYED THEM in 1994? HAHAHAHAHA Islanders are a disgrace to hockey. LETS GO RANGERS!!!!
then again mrceebees14 who got their 12th straight loss yesterday the islanders they might as well start looking for a coach or move to kansas city or winnipeg wait i dnt want that to happen cause i wanna see th isles get their asses whipped by the rangers
@mrceebees14 "Things go in cycles, like the Ranger big name retreads that never amount to something called WINNING." Kind of like how Yashin never amounted to anything for the Islanders, or any of the other players your team has thrown money at the past 15 years. Your team SUCKS lol.
Lemme think for a moment. Palffy, Luongo, Bertuzzi, Chara AND trading a pick which turned into Jason Spezza AND drafting DiPietro as #1, when they already had Luongo, instead of Heatley. So i think the joke is on the Isles. :)
@11DNA11 Palffy was a salary dump you idiot, that is when the NHL took over the team. Bertuzzi sucked when he was with the Isles, he wouldn't go into the corners and he wouldn't lay the body. Look at his numbers with the Isles, they were horrible, you never watched him obviously. Chara I can give you, mentioning the pick is stupid, no one knew who Milbury was going to draft. A pick is a pick, most drafts are crap shoots after the 5th pick. Dipietro might suck, then again so does Luongo.
@11DNA11 1) Luongo is a choke artists and sucks. 2) Heatley was not who Milbury was not going to draft Heatley, he was going to take Gaborik. You don't even know the facts, what are you? 10?
Unlike you I don't live in the past, the present favors the Isles with a better rounded team. Can't wait for the season to start to see Brad Richards start to regress in the true tradition of Ranger mercenaries.
@mrceebees14 Richards is just what the Rangers need right now, hate them all you want, you can't disagree. They needed a 1st line Center & PP QB, he's both. And I love how people keep saying he has a history of concussions, NOT true, last year was the first concussion he ever got. I would worry about him & concussions no more than any other player, its a concern, but lets not over blow it. Looking forward to a rejuvinated Rangers/Isles rivalry this year.
@B2B76 I can disagree totally because you still don't get it. You and the Rangers won't ever get it, which is why you only have 4 cups in nearly 85 years. You build the youth, how many draft picks have been thrown away because the Rangers can't help but buy the pretty, shiny new toy in the window come Summer? Drury is and always will be a clutch, multi-useful athlete, the guy was a giant before he came to the Rangers and ruined his career. You keep buying players based on skill, instead of
@mrceebees14 They have youth and PLENTY of home grown talent ,maybe you don't get it. Have you looked at they're roster? Henrik, Staal, Cally, Dubinsky, Girardi, Sauer, the list goes on. You have to sprinkle the team with vets too. Sather has done it wrong for so long, any Ranger fan would agree, but he has made solid moves the past 2 years. Even dumping Gomez(incredibly) and getting back McDonough who's a stud and Valatenko (another young D man) who might make the team this year. The trades for
@B2B76 looking at the player from the inside out. Drury is every bit as talented as Richards. I don't want to hear that "it's different to play here," crap, that is bullshit. These are not kids, these are vets, they come to the Rangers for a pay check, everyone knew Richards would come here because of two things 1) You can make rock star money and 2) it's the New York Rangers, where players go to die.
You guys had better hope the Isles leave, that team is looking scary good, especially Nino.
@mrceebees14 Prust and Boyle. Hey, I'm 34, way too old to argue with a guy on youtube, that's not what I was trying to do. I've just seen 1 too many comments from you bashing the Rangers when you're team has done it even worse the last many years. I'm looking forward to a great season, its been too long since we've seen hockey. Both the Rangers & the Isles will have real good years I think. Cheers.
@LetsGoRangers1994Cup I wonder how long Brad Richards will play for before he "complains" he is injured or is sent to Hartford at a cool 8 million a season.
This is why I could never be a Ranger fan, you refuse to learn from the past. Even if the Isles are gone in a couple of seasons, I would still take our current roster over yours and you and the rest of them know this is true, so you better hope we leave Long Island.
Actually the LAST WORD on who go the better when it truly counts was the Rangers DEMOLISHING the Isles 22-3, with the Isles not even scoring a goal until the 2nd period of game 3! Now NYR have certainly been a bad orginiztion since 1997, but the Isles are the LA Clippers of hockey... they will be in Kansas City before they win another playoff GAME. Why? Because NOBODY WILL GO TO THEIR GAMES!! When I still lived in NY I went to more Isles games than most NYI fans I knew.... PATHETIC FAN BASE!!
@LetsGoRangers1994Cup 1983, a Dynasty you'll never be. 24 to 8, demolished by the NY Islanders. The team that eliminated the Rangers 4 straight, 3 of those years winning the cup. Isles still hold playoff record wins between the two and have more existing NHL records then the NY Rangers.
Cup won with mostly DRAFT pick players.
1994= Chicago, EDMONTON Rangers, get your own players loser and actually win a cup, not buy mercenaries bitch.
@mrceebees14 keep talking about the past. last 3 times the rangers/islanders met its been ranger victories in the playoffs. islanders cant beat the rangers anymore. and the rangers were never humiliated the way the islanders were in 1994. 22 goals to 3 lol the worst beating in playoff history! islanders suck, and its too bad. my rangers dont have any local rivals anymore, now that the nj devils are even more pathetic than your current islanders team. enjoy 2011 rangers playoff hockey, none 4 u!
You want to talk about beat downs? How about eliminating the Rangers from the playoffs 4 straight years, 3 of which they won the Stanley Cup. 1981 the Isles steamrolled the Rangers 28-9 in the playoffs, ending their season AT THE GARDEN.
The Isles have the last word on who has gotten the better of whom when it truly counts between these teams.
Islander hockey is not bullying asround the little guy (like Messier did many times) and standing up for yourself every time you have that happe to you. Islander hockey is playing hard constantly, even when you're getting swept by an All Star Team team of Olers, Blackhawks and Kings,. Islander hockey is not taking any BS from the blue squirts.
@thezoan. 1983!!!!!!!! No more 1940. N.Y. Rangers 1994 Stanley Cup Champions. It was great playoff season that year which started with a sweep of the fishsticks.
Ok that's fine, you guys swept us, you had a great year that year. All I was saying is that even though the Islanders got blown out, they refused to go down without a fight, and players like Acton refused to take any BS from you guys when you constantly tried to bully us around. That's Islander hockey, not going down without a fight, and not taking any BS and not taking anything for granted. Acton was right for standing up for himself.
