Comments on: Another day of waiting http://rangers.lohudblogs.com/2008/01/15/another-day-of-waiting/ News and insight about the New York Rangers by Rick Carpiniello Fri, 10 Feb 2012 14:47:56 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Nasty 1 http://rangers.lohudblogs.com/2008/01/15/another-day-of-waiting/#comment-63491 Nasty 1 Wed, 16 Jan 2008 15:30:31 +0000 http://rangers.lohudblogs.com/2008/01/15/another-day-of-waiting/#comment-63491 Thanks man, it has been rough. I miss being 18 and not having to deal with crap like this. Makes me feel really old. I thought I was getting better and I leaned over to tie my shoe and my back completely locked up. After I think about it the whole story was quite amusing. If any care to hear I am more than happy to share. Thanks man, it has been rough. I miss being 18 and not having to deal with crap like this.

I've noticed allot this year that he gives up juicy rebounds and is terrible when trying to handle the puck. This is just an observation. We all knew going in to the season that the rangers weakness was there defense. If the rangers are going to turn this around they are going to need good goaltending.

We all know the team is in Dire Straits but we (bloggers) still believe as true Ranger fans that we can turn this around, it is not late yet. If no turn so be it and things will be delt with when the time comes. It will be disappointing with the names on this team and we all would be pissed. I am sure a lot of people on this blog are pissed but they still believe. If this continues and we are where we are in the middle of March then I will throw in the towel. Until then keep positive. You guys constantly say this tema sucks this and that. The difference is we all do it but come up with logical or attempt to think of ways to make it better besides trading Jagr, however if we can get something for JJ do it. What would you guys do in this position? Salty and Graves9 = you both are the most pessimistic people on this blog.

Wed, 16 Jan 2008 14:37:39 +0000 http://rangers.lohudblogs.com/2008/01/15/another-day-of-waiting/#comment-63483 I spent some time going through tons of blogs, comments, and articles of our beloved blueshirts. There's an obvious separation of where blame is being directed for underacheiving to this point of the season. There are those who believe it's over with 30+ games remaining. There are those that believe(though not many) we're a sure bet to still make the playoffs eventhough we currently sit in 9th place. Then there are those that believe it is possible to make it into the 2nd season if we get the goaltender that fans have chosen as their "king", our captain that has his name on the Art Ross trophy a few times, and our supporting cast that has shown in the past that they know how to play with determination and that no goal is unacheivable. While you may think there is NOTHING we here on a beat writers blog, comments section can do about, there IS. I've attended hundreds of Ranger games, have held season tickets in the midst of the longest playoff drought in franchise has ever seen, and I don't think that the fans in attendance have ever been so unsupportive than they are this year. It's unavoidable that NY fans of any sport (not unlike other cities) will always have their 'whipping boy'. The one that we're comfortable making what should be the best experience of their professional career the worst. Yet they still walk away saying that it was a 'great experience'. So back to what we CAN do about it. Put as much passion as you do into booing someone out of town as you CAN into being the '7th man'. Something I personally haven't seen inside the walls of MSG since I don't know when. Forget Dolan, forget Slats, forget the coaching staff for that matter. The players on the ice(or field) in any sport respond to the support, or lack thereof, of their fans. Last time I was at a game I heard a guy selling cotton candy on the other side of the building. Depressing. I spent some time going through tons of blogs, comments, and articles of our beloved blueshirts.

He was great 2 years ago, really great. Now he's bringing this team down with him along with his buttbuddy Tom Renney. Rangers won't be a contender for a long time regardless. I can't believe how this season has been pissed away. I really hope we don't make the playoff and perpetuate the *illusion* that Tom Renney has had great success coaching the team. It's bullshit. Jagr and Lundqvist have carried him here. When those two are off thier game, Tom Renney is stuck with nothing but his soft willis to show for himself. Wake up Ranger fans.... there is no light at the end of the tunnel anytime soon with Jagr and Renney at the helm. Trade Jagr. He was great 2 years ago, really great.

Even Jagr scored again from in the crease where he needs to keep working. Crosby & Malkin were amazing to watch. Great talent, work hard & Crosby does not back down. Henrik only at fault on the Great top shelfer by Malkin, by being too deep in the net and allowing him to see too much net whike being in so close, Versus announcers criticized defense for playing the pass * allowing Malkin to walk in from the side but Hank had the shooter the whole way, just too deep to take away a good angle. I think Hank was screened on the long slap shot. On Malkin Tip in off Crosby shot got that dribbled thru Hank, defense allowed Malkin to blow by, unscathed. That was a disgrace. It would be nice to have a more physical presence in front of Hank. I wonder if the team, & Jagr would be better off with Shanny as Cap, & Gomez with the A. Gomez is a joy to watch & takes a beating to make plays. Time's running out but I think they can be a good team before it's done.
