New York Rangers

East Metropolitan · 2026–27 season

The story so far

Rangers fans opened the season giddy over a scrappy, retooled roster and a waiver-claim goalie, then watched the mood sour once Shesterkin went down. After the latest week, misery hit 90 at 7-7-1, and many fans now fear the season is a wash without him.

From Reddit fan threads · through Oct 26–Nov 1 · 7-7-1

what fans talked about, week by week
Season-long

  • Garand went from waiver castoff to crowd favorite with a Detroit shutout, but an overworked stretch with no reliable backup, Reimer's pulled start against LA and softies against Edmonton left fans split on his future.

    “Dylan Garand, you did everything you could and we couldn’t score for you… You are now officially a New York Ranger Goaltender”
