"Skate!" "Go faster!" "No!" "SHOOT. THE. PUCK." "Hit him like you mean it!" "GOAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" "What do you mean he kicked it in?" "And who exactly was that pass meant for? The guy in 313?"
Hockey fans as a whole probably know what those words mean. They know the struggle of what Toronto deems a "goal with a distinct kicking motion" is even if there was no motion. Hockey fans in general know the burning question of "What is wrong with my team" and the thrill of yelling "GOAL" at the top of your lungs no matter how much it annoys everyone else. But, there are some phrases that only us New York Rangers fans know.
1. "SKATE BOYS!"
No matter how fast they are moving none of your players are skating fast enough.
2. "HANK I LOVE YOU!"
Because the only saves Henrik Lundqvist makes are good ones.
3. "Aaaaaaand there goes my sanity."
Yes lets stand there (with too many men) while the other team is SKATING PAST WITH THE PUCK.
4. "ANTTI My sweet cinnamon roll."
Our sweet backup goalie is too good for this world.
5. "Marc! No! Don't! Keep going!"
It's not an NYR game until Marc Staal stops with the puck behind the net.
6. "Run the goalie, run the world"
Christopher James Kreider is fast and likes to play catch with himself. And, he will score on your goalie, bye.
7. "ZUUUUUUUUUCCCCCCCC."
That wasn't our favorite Norwegian Hobbit? Oh. Sorry. (Just kidding, just serious.)
8. "You just got Mac-trucked."
People I would not like to be hit by: Ryan McDonagh. It looks like it hurts. A lot.
9. "Hey! Hey! Hey hey hey!"
That means someone did the thing. The puck met the net. This Can become "Hey, hey hey hey Hayes" when Kevin Hayes scores.
10. "GET HIM DYL! Oh GOD Dylan be CAREFUL."
This might just be me, but I get super excited and also nervous when our guy, Dylan McIlrath fights. I feel like a proud mom, but also a nervous nanny at the same time.
11. "Tanner, kill him."
When someone messes with one of our guys, our very own Tanner Glass will take matters into his own hands.
12. "LET'S GO RANGERS!"
We are not a team, we are a family and this, this, is the call of our people. LGR!
