Looks like even on Reddit some see “rags” as derogatory.

Maybe I’ll start calling then the “rag$” to make it clear lol.

New York Rangers: "Rag$"

The New York Rangers are often referred to by detractors as the "Rag$." It is a name that demeans the team and uses a dollar sign to poke at the fact that the Rangers used to spend tons of money on key free agents.

The team has done a good job drafting and procuring a youth movement and while they still sparingly add free agents, this nickname is very unappealing to the fans.

Eh they don’t bother me enough right now to hate them. I dislike all of their fans that left their state to move to NC but the Rangers as a whole don’t bother me other than Trouba being a dickhead.

Over the past couple years we’ve won our division against them and split with them in the playoffs. They haven’t kicked our ass enough in meaningful games for me to absolutely despise them yet.

For me, Boston was the team I despised the most and then Florida took over them. I hope we get a rematch with Florida in the playoffs this year and we kick their ass so I can move on lol.

Now let’s say the Rangers were to win the division and eliminate us in the playoffs this year, they’d shoot to the front of the line.

I’ve never meant it to be an insult and most other NHL fanbases don’t either.

The topic of calling the Rangers, “Rags” has been discussed many times on Reddit as well as HFBoards and I think the consensus is that most people are too lazy to type out Rangers.

Rags is to the Rangers as Canes is to the Hurricanes, Habs is to the Canadians, Pens is to the Penguins, Nucks is to the Canucks, etc…

Cool. Just making sure. Not a big hockey fan but I was curious about the nickname and noticed it wasn't bothering Rangers fans here.

Tampa is on a heater again and my guy Anthony Duclair has 10 points in 11 games for them.

Tampa and us are the hottest teams in the league right now with the Rangers and Stars right behind us.

Would not shock me in the slightest if the Bolts take out the B’s in round one.

I wouldn’t put it past Tampa to overtake Toronto based on their respective schedules. Plus their last game of the season is in Tampa as the second half of a back to back(Florida is the first half). Tampa also easily wins a tie in points.

      Down With The Devils: Series Wrap-up

      By Stumpy · Posted

      Well bois, we gave the Devils their due! Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery... The jersey boys have been trying to jack our steeze for a few years now. They've followed our blueprints and studied our tape. Every offseason, they pounce on our sloppy seconds in a Newark minute. Quick with the puck, ferocious on the forecheck and stifling team defense. Down to the colors, this is this closest we'll come to having to play ourselves in Ole Stanley's Hockey Hoedown. As the postseason began, Rod stood flexing in the gym mirror and saw this guy staring back from the void... (Shutters) When beating us at our game didn't work, Timo and the Tri-State Trash tried to tango instead. Outside of a bitchass cheapshot on Freddie, that poo didn't work either. Their goon squad was getting wrecked by our bantam weights. As much as we all wanted to see Svechy or Staal Bunyan literally break someone in half after the Great Dane went down, they didnt need to. Our munchkins were monsters! Jarvis obliterating giants at the blue line, Logan laying the Stank on dudes twice his size and Blakers blasting Timo into next season. It was beautiful to see! (Side note: Does JBlo wear lead weights under his pads? 170lbs shouldn't be able to hit that hard!) We closed it out in 5, for the gentleman's sweep. Only team in the league to win a series in each of the past 7(?) seasons! And, this was supposed to be a rebuilding year... Onto the awards: Key To The Series : 6 for 19 - .316% IT FINALLY WORKED!!! MVP : 16/180 g/s - .911 save% - 2.53 gaa Seriously, without this dude, we would've won in 3! (Trust me bro) 3rd Star : 6/94 g/s - .936 save % - 1.59 gaa The Great Dane   2nd Star : 3 g - 5 a - +1 - 20:38 toi/g - 18 hits - 3 bs - 58.1% fo 3 PP goals and the 2OT series winning goal! WOOAAAHHH NELLY!!!!   And, your 1st Star of the series : 5 g - 1 a - +3 - 16:48 toi/g - 16 hits - 1 bs - 1 tk - 50% fo Zero, I repeat, zero penalty minutes for the series! MISSSTAAAHHH SVEEECHNIKOOOV!!!!!! Onto The Next: Now, we wait for the Habs to make it a nasty 7 game slog, while we recuperate. And, hopefully, get Nikishin, and some of the other black aces some real peactice time. We are gonna need those guys at some point. Because, if you think the Devils were dirty, hoooo boy, wait till you see what's next...

      I don’t watch college football anymore (used to be Stanford STH but meh), but my wife is Hawaiian and her favorite color is purple, so I guess I knew Tet was my new favorite player to root for when he came out in a purple suit and lei and threw up the Shaka.
