This was the last game me and father watched together. He recently lost his life due to this coronavirus. My dad was always a huge Ranger fan and is the reason I became a Ranger fan when I was a kid. Cheering for this team is something special we always shared over the years. During close games like this, he wouldn’t even watch cause he’d be to nervous and he “couldn’t handle it”. So he’d sit in the next room doing his work and listen for my reactions to know what was going on. When Zibanejad scored that last goal I went nuts and my dad came running in the room with a big smile on his face. We watched the replay of that game winning goal multiple times laughing and cheering. It’s a memory I’ll always treasure.
im so sorry to hear about your dad, just hang in there. its an amazing story and atleast zibanejad put on a show for you guys final game to watch together

@@Peter-tm4sx You might be right, but in order to be *the* greatest goal scorer (in the regular season) he needs 189 more goals from now.

jockejocke1 Very true. It’s just remarkable that he’s stayed healthy his whole career. He would have around 770 by now if there was no lockout in 2004-05 or a shortened season in 2012-13. It also looks like he is going to be robbed of yet another 50 goal season, but hopefully the season comes back

Toxic Ranger he’s said before he’s quiet in the locker room. no doubt he could still be named captain he’s pretty much been our leader on ice at least this season but still, he could decline it. i could only imagine him and kreider getting it
I’m a pens fan and I came here for his calls and just how hype the Rangers goal celebrations are. This was the coolest game of the season in my opinion, really pulled for the rangers to make a push, always fun when they’re in the mix
I’m just a hockey fan from Finland, I only cheer for team Finland. But man, this commentator brought tears in my eyes. And that is very, VERY rare from North American commentators.
We also got a second-round pick that we later flipped to get Brendan Smith, all because Melnyk was too cheap to pay Z-Bad’s signing bonus. Z-Bad is now a Hart candidate at this point, and Smith was able to become a useful yeoman forward in addition to being a defenseman in light of our organizational defensive depth.
and then a crappy first half so we might not make the playoffs if we had been playing like we are now the whole season we would have been in first wild card if not higher
GoalieJoe59 well, even if we don’t make it this season(if it continues), we will definitely make it next season, we gotta get a good pick on the draft, hopefully defenseman and get to work
hes still underrated in 2022.. i mean hes been one of the best players in the entire league for the last 3 years, and people dont talk about him outside of his yearly hat tricks.
I've watched this at least ten times now, it never gets old. Hopefully the nhl continues the regular season and the rangers get to finish their push and make it a few rounds in the playoffs LGR!!!
Mika is so much fun to watch, probably one of my favourite players in the nhl right now. Combining being a 5 goal scorer against the caps with being a DJ (according to wikipedia), that's b a l l i n'
Something about the Capitals I guess. I remember when Federov did the same thing here in Detroit. Also against the Caps. I think that might’ve been the last time until now(all 5 goals including overtime winner)
As a die-hard Flyers fan, Mika Zibanejad is such an electric player and I wish him nothing but the best in his career. He might be my favorite player that's not in the orange and black. Cheers to you, Mika!
Honestly can't tell what's better on that 5th goal. Sam Rosen's call or Zibanejad's reaction of just pure pure joy. This is honestly my favorite hockey moment that didn't involve my team.
Yes. Fortunately for us. Not every player. Is a good fit with every team. Talent is talent. Eventually it will appear and shine. The NYR are looking good. It is the Cycle: You win a Cup in 1994, your core of Championship players get old and retire or are traded, you lose out on good draft picks as you slowly descend year after year though the standings, until you finally after many years hit the bottom. The Coach and management team are fired. Now the draft picks get better, you start rebuilding, the kids come onboard, they need a little time to acclimate to the NHL, they begin to show real talent, you develop them for a year or to, you have a management team focused on rebuilding with youth, the kids come together, solid lines are developing, a team is being born, fan excitement returns, management stays focused and doesn’t trade the youthful talent, you start climbing up the standings, you miss the playoffs a year or two, you stay away from historically horrible trades and signings, you get better each season, and voila....you are the 2019-2020 New York Rangers. Let them kids play!
@Michael Markowsky Connor has 6 less goals in 7 more games played. Draisaitl has 5 more goals, but it took him 13 more games. You can't honestly believe they're more dominant this season, can you?
@@sasha1551 His father from Iran,his mother from Finland. And they somehow ended up in Sweden. Every time I see Mika score a goal i cannot help it but i sit and smile from ear to ear,just by seeing the happiness he shows.
We need to sit Mika down and make him watch this a few times to get his mojo back! Super talented player, it's only a matter of time before he gets back to form! LGR!
