Getting back to the Rangers, this team did not look good at all on this brief road trip. They need to get themselves righted this week with three games at home. They looked choppy, inconsistent and uncomfortable out West and hopefully they’ll be able to smooth things out back at MSG.

I’d love Renney to feed me my own words down the road… but the guy is a hack. MSG is such a joke.

I’d love to talk more about hockey right now but I’d rather just ask you all to keep a teenager who died in a car accident this morning who is a senior at my school in your prayers. I’d really appreciate it.

Staalwart, I agree with you. Until now i’ve been a renney supporter and i still think he does great work. That being said, he’s a good coach for an up and coming team, getting the best out of them and working hard. he’s not the type of coach that knows how to motivate his players in the right way and use players that already know the game. his problems are with the veterans. I happen to agree with Avery and Jagr for the shootout. Avery surprisingly has great moves and nobody realizes, but if you even watch him during shootaround you’ll see he has a bag full of tricks. renney looks at these guys a lot more than we see them. For everyone who wanted drury in the shootout, have you seen what he’s done in shootouts? he walks up to the faceoff circle and takes a slapshot.

Jagr is good on breakaways, he made a good move and tried to get garon going post to post and putting it far side. Hossa should’ve been in there for gomez but otherwise i don’t mind renney’s choices.

Where i do have a problem with him is with blair betts playing in overtime. Granted straka and shanahan were hurt, but you still have jagr, avery, dubinsky, gomez, prucha. there’s no reason for betts to be playing. while the fourth line is playing well (as in playing as a fourth line should, which doesn’t mean scoring), they shouldn’t be playing with a minute left in regulation in a game that you’re down by one goal…

This is getting quite long, i’m sorry, just one last thing…maybe, hopefully, please!!!! let management see how detrimental malik is to this team! he threw a sh*t fit when he found out he wasn’t playing….trade him for a bag of pucks, anything! ok hopefully we get back on track on tuesday night!
