Comments on: I hate to say I told you so…. http://rangers.lohudblogs.com/2008/02/06/i-hate-to-say-i-told-you-so/ News and insight about the New York Rangers by Rick Carpiniello Fri, 10 Feb 2012 13:58:22 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Riche' http://rangers.lohudblogs.com/2008/02/06/i-hate-to-say-i-told-you-so/#comment-66604 Riche' Wed, 06 Feb 2008 17:23:58 +0000 http://rangers.lohudblogs.com/2008/02/06/i-hate-to-say-i-told-you-so/#comment-66604 This team NEVER goes for the throat. I just don't get it. You know LA is gonna come out strong but the NYR are a better squad. Why not bring it right out of the gates and jump all over them? I mean really rip into them and put them back on their heels. Good teams take the game away from teams like that before any momentum can be built. Our defense looked horrendous... Strudwick, what can you say? Staal, blown coverage on the second goal. Ughhhhh. This squad needs help. Same old story... 1 step forward, two back. By this time next week we're gonna really be looking at that game as the one that took us out of it (again). This team NEVER goes for the throat. I just don’t get it.

That killed the momentum the rangers were building and got the kings going again.

Not that they ever do, but when your down like that, you have got to stay out of the box. Sure, there's good penalties to take sometimes, but there's only been a handful of them the entire season. Avery looked like the bi-polar one last night. He had 1 good shift for every 1 or 2 bad shifts. Yeah, the calls against us didn’t help us out any.

I think he has looked pretty good since coming back from Hartford. I would definitely like to see him score some more goals. I do like that he stands up to anyone and stick up for his team mates on every shift. The problem with the Rangers last night is that they were standing around waiting for LA to make a mistake. The only problem with that is that LA was not making any mistakes. They shoved the first period straight up our ass. Then after the time up, we had a wake up call and started to play better. And I thought for the rest of the game we played decent hockey. Good enough to win if it had not been for the first period. But once we were already down by 2 it was over. Every other mistake we made was in our net. Avery, aside from his goal, did not have a very good game and constantly did the wrong thing with the puck. Strudwick......well that was just awful. It used to be the 2 period that killed us. The last two games it has been the first. The first period in Montreal was ugly too. And we really need to stay out of the box. It is as simple as that. I am angry about this loss, but I am not up in arms, because except for up until the time out we played a decent game. I like Callahan too.

If you look back in ranger history they never draft big players up front. Beer Me!,

I can't say I'm "blown away", but noone currently is 'blowing me away'. The thing I'm a little fearful of is that all these guys that are coming up lack one important thing. Size. Byers is listed @ 6'3" & Dubi @ 6'1". The rest of those guys, and throw Avery into that group are all south of 6ft. I'm not saying that they can't be effective, but I hate to see those games where it looks like we get pushed around or out-manned. I like Callahan.

I just don't get it. I don't watch teams in the West and think that they look so great or so dominant. The Red Wings are the only team that I watch that are down right amazing. Other than that I just don't get it. What is it with this team against Western Conference teams? I just don’t get it. I don’t watch teams in the West and think that they look so great or so dominant.
