There will always be the “naysayers” whenever they lose. It’s an 82 game season, losses have to be expected.

Their next 2 games are big: at home against Ottawa and at Atlanta. We need Henrik to continue to stand on his head…which leads me to my next question: any thoughts about resting Henrik again at some point? 4 games in 7 days coming up starting with Friday’s game. I doubt they can afford to rest their best player though.

Just think of me, mhurley, as Hockey’s Liz Smith! (except I have red hair not blonde and I am NOT a lesbian from Texas)

;)

When it comes to Renney, I think he has handled the Simon situation well. He shouldn’t comment on it more than he has. Be happy Hollweg is OK and Simon got a long suspension. Nolan needs to learn how to shut his mouth. Maybe he should be suspended for a few games. Anyway, he just gave the Rangers even more bulletin board material. Maybe Holly will come back to score his second of the season against the fishsticks is one of the last few.

Nice goal by Malik. I missed much of the 3rd because of daylight savings time (I napped) but they were well-disciplined, even if they couldn’t score. Getting the win in regulation would’ve been nice, but I’ll never turn down 2 points.

I thought Pock played well today.

There have been far too many “unintentionally comical moments” for me to find any of this especially amusing.

So Renney thinks Cullen needed awhile to settle in. Brilliant. I think Cullen has been settled in for some time now. What has taken a long time to happen is for it to dawn upon Renney that a player who was successful as a 3rd line pivot and playing the point on the pp should be used that way on his team. In fact, it’s taken Commander Renney 3/4 of the season to figure that out. Can’t wait to see what he comes up with next year.

Lead on Tom, lead on

Sam, objects in the mirror are closer than they appear. We all LOVE this CRAZY infuriating team. Agree or disagree, this season has us all wrapped a liiitle too tight(ly.) We have more in common than we might readily admit. As a paid professional, you have to do what’s best for your editor, your server space and your ulcer, as we vent and do try to do what’s best for ours. As the Rodent might say, dis-ir-regardless of what you and your bosses may decide to with us cranky commenters, YOU have to keep posting the behind-the-scenes stuff. How could we function by the water-cooler without it? (Someday, the NHL will HAVE a Liz Smith, and I hope to be her. Until then, you guys have to do the job. Thanks!)

Go Rangers and goooo Ranger fans, the best but crankiest in the biz. Seriously Sam, would you rather work in Miami?

NYR1994: You know it! Even though Saturday’s OT loss was a tough one, I’ll still take 7 out of 8 points any day of the week!

Lets go Rangers!! All hail King Henrik!!
