There has been NO power play since....well, you tell me.In my opion if the power play problems continue threw these next two VERY BIG games Then I think it's really time to consider to fire Renney.I know that that has been talked about for quiet some time now and I totally agree,but after5 uniterupted days to pratice these pp problems continue,like I said Renney MUST go.With the star's he has to work with there's NO excuse anymore.I think even if we win both game's (and I think we will) But going 1 or 2 for 8-10 not good enough we need the pp in the playoffs to win. Getting a player or two in trades woun't help with out a powerplay. LET'S GO RANGERS----------we win 5-2 1 for 6 on the powerplay So it’s about 1 hour til game time.

This is a huge game. This is a 4 point swing. The rangers only have 23 games left so basically these remaining games are as close to playoff games as possible. There is no more if they, if this, if that, it's now or never. buffalo has 64 points 1 point more than the rangers and two games in hand. This is a huge game. This is a 4 point swing.

That whole division is terrible, and if the playoffs started today, the winner of their division would not have less points than 8 other teams (including the Rangers), yet would still get third seed in the conference. Meanwhile, the Debbies sit atop of our division thanks to that OT point they got. We need our division to stay close, so that a few wins against the Devs and Flyers (which we've been good about this season) could potentially pole vault us in the standings. This game against Buffalo is huge. They're on fire right now, and we can't afford to lose to a team above us in the standings, especially one so close. BTW, the Henrik contract, now that it's official, is some of the worst GM work I've ever seen. He's grossly overpaid. Yet another great job by Glen Sather.

They better play with some urgency and keep Buffalo in their zone cause Buffalo is dangerous right now. They are starting to get the goals they did last year, off their heads, arms, legs, jocks and in the net. Lets Go Rangers!!!!! I hope the Rangers come out with the fire Joejoe has.

A week without any Rangers hockey has been torturing. I sense the guys coming out with lots of fire in the 1st period, hopefully scoring a few goals, and protecting the lead to get the win. The work ethic should be there, especially with 5 days off. On another un-related note, the Rangers are in the 3rd of a 4-game matinee stretch (last wknd vs PHI, WAS, today, tomorrow vs SJ). When's the last time (if ever) that's happened to ANY NHL team??? Sam, your thoughts? Btw, is anybody else pumped up for this weekend? A week without any Rangers hockey has been torturing.

Zip is reporting Prucha, Staal, & Hossa out today. That leaves them 1 player short, unless Valliquette is going to play on a line or D. Sam have they called anyone up?

It provides too much "safe play" in the last 10 minutes of regulation when a game is tied or teams are separated by a goal. What's the point of watching when you know there's an 80-90% chance that it will go to OT or SO? Something needs to be changed. Make winning in regulation more valuable than winning in OT or SO. I'd hate to say it, but maybe there should be 3 points awarded for a regulation win, 2 for an OT/SO win, 1 for regulation tie? Case in point: last night the Devils gave a point and then some to ATL by trying to protect a one goal lead, knowing full well that if they had the lead going into the latter half of period 3, they would come away with at least a point. I'm glad they lost the additional point they could have gotten if they had actually played to win in regulation. Big regulation win this afternoon vs BUF a must. Let's go get 'em boys.
