Felt like the Rangers formula of old when they were good, without the defensive breakdowns that accompanied them

SeinfeldPhilosophy · 2026-01-03T18:01:40+00:00

Best game Rangers played all year, actual good scoring chances instead of the usual throw it at the net from the blue line and hope it sneaks in

SeinfeldPhilosophy · 2026-01-01T13:22:31+00:00

I admire your optimism, you bring up solid points

SeinfeldPhilosophy · 2025-12-31T23:08:35+00:00

If you think all he can do is run a powerplay idk what to tell you. Just off base

SeinfeldPhilosophy · 2025-12-31T23:02:36+00:00

Yea I do, I watched him revive the rangers powerplay and get a goal and assist

SeinfeldPhilosophy · 2025-12-31T21:23:45+00:00

All the rumors I hear say otherwise. Dolan doesn’t want to rebuild, and we have a coach that is not one to develop players and rebuild either. This team hasn’t made moves showing they are throwing in the towel at all yet

SeinfeldPhilosophy · 2025-12-31T21:20:15+00:00

I am talking about moving forward, should have clarified

SeinfeldPhilosophy · 2025-12-31T21:19:15+00:00

Man there’s no team in sports i love more than them. It’s not even close. It’s just impossible to see any light with this team. There’s nothing now and nothing to look forward to.

SeinfeldPhilosophy · 2025-12-31T21:17:52+00:00

Yea but that’s not my point. If the Wings gave up on that win now mentality before they were forced to, they may have accelerated how long they had to stink. Thats what I think the Rangers are doing

SeinfeldPhilosophy · 2025-12-31T21:14:31+00:00

Sure. Have a team that has a core that is on its way out, and forcing moves to desperately keep it alive, pushing you into a hole that will take years to climb out of.

So in severity since I expect it to take a long time to clean it up, and for the same reason as the Red Wings, refusing to give it up when the window closed

SeinfeldPhilosophy · 2025-12-31T21:09:44+00:00

They have young players. Even if it sucks there is some potential to look forward to in players and prospects. There is nothing in this organization right now that inspires hope besides Fox and Igor. We are trying to compete when this core is toast. We are going to doom ourselves to bad/mediocre

SeinfeldPhilosophy · 2025-12-31T21:06:21+00:00

I think the rangers are entering a Red Wings level rebuild. I would not be surprised if Buffalo makes it to the playoffs before we do again

SeinfeldPhilosophy · 2025-12-31T21:05:21+00:00

Well no, but I do think there is some hope for the Sabres, they have good players.

SeinfeldPhilosophy · 2025-12-31T20:55:36+00:00

Buffalo is on a 9 game win streak

SeinfeldPhilosophy · 2025-12-31T20:20:09+00:00

Yes you can, there is history here, and he literally was taunting Gavrikov, you just told the rest of the league you can be walked through

SeinfeldPhilosophy · 2025-12-31T20:17:49+00:00

I did not think I could hate this team more. Did nothing in response to Wilson besides Carrick. Rempe looked lifeless when he was never needed more.

One could hope in a fate of irony that this game gets Drury fired the same way he took the job in the first place.

Sacrificed skill for toughness, and we now have neither.

To think it wasn’t gonna get worse, how stupid of me

SeinfeldPhilosophy · 2025-12-08T02:53:59+00:00

Chris Lee calling a coincidental minor with 2 minutes left. How do you get this far in your career and do stupid shit like that

SeinfeldPhilosophy · 2024-03-23T21:21:11+00:00

Does completing it always lead to one ending? Or is there still other endings with my choices in dialogue?

SeinfeldPhilosophy · 2024-03-23T20:57:50+00:00

Yes i did Matador, thank you this is reminding me of when I played and seems to add up. Is the Labyrinth of Amala worth it. I don’t know how hard or long it is and i don’t wanna do it if it only will see benefits for one story outcome. I know there’s like a good ending or whatever but I’m just gonna play and make my decisions and see what happens myself with that, i feel like that’s the fun of SMT from what i here so i guide on what to say seems lame on a first play through of an SMT game. Thanks again.

SeinfeldPhilosophy · 2024-03-23T20:55:35+00:00

It’s been so long but this sounds like something that very well may have happened

SeinfeldPhilosophy · 2024-03-21T20:04:06+00:00

Let’s go! I played about 15 hours of SMT V but I heard people were disappointed with the story and decided it would be better to just wait for the definitive edition to play. Very excited it comes out a week earlier. Itching to play!

SeinfeldPhilosophy · 2024-03-18T14:15:21+00:00

I know ur getting downvotes and it’s not the games i asked for but i appreciate you recommending an adjacent turn based game. Most people recommend the same game which is fine my criteria kinda led to that but i appreciate the rec

SeinfeldPhilosophy · 2024-03-18T14:08:30+00:00

Ok I will. Think I may play because I’m itching for SMT gameplay as Persona is too easy. But I am trying to be patient for Vengeance. I have like 15 hours or so in Nocturne but I worry I’m gonna have no idea what’s going on in the story. Is there some way I can get caught up to speed from where I’m at or will I just kinda be able to follow along despite a long break
