New Newman, that’s rather presumptuous; I never mentioned crapping in my pants, only that I shit myself: who’s to say preventitive measures weren’t taken when the inevitable was about to occur? Of course, I admit, such measures were not taken and I did, in fact, crap in my actual pants, but…I didn’t do it in front of 18,200 spectators and a television audience, so at least I can save some face in comparison to goaltender extraordinaire, Mister Hanky – this comment is for fans with the center ice package – how many of you would rather have JC Petit betwixt the pipes? (McDonald’s Canada mini-sticks commercial; kinda like their version of Lil’ Bit O’Luck, but with a french-canadien flare)...

The reality is, in all of this, that we are all frustrated with points the team gives away.

17 points out of a possible 20 and people are complaining.

The issue at hand is parity. We are 5pts out of first in the conference with a game in hand on the leader (who we play 3x in the next month) and we are 4 pts out away from not making the playoffs.

The Blueshirts have not lost in regulation in nearly a month. 7-0-3 in our last 10, the next best team is Anaheim at 9-1 (ignore their 18pts to our 17pts…work with me). But it has not gotten us out of the bottom of the pack.

Frustrating.

And then the conversation drifts down to talking about crapping in your pants…WTF!

I think what a lot of people take as negativity is honest criticism. The last two games now we have managed to get points but there has been a lot of mistakes made that need to be fixed if we want to succeed in the playoffs. Talking about the weak points on this team (defense, incosisten goaltending, powerplay) does not make one a fake fan and I don’t think salty or myself would be afraid to tell Renney and Sather our thoughts to their face. If the coach and GM actually addressed these problems then we wouldnt have to be discussing them ad nauseum. And billyNYR I hate to call people out, but there is no need for posts like that man.

yeah, you tell ‘em, billy! Us pathetic fairweather fans that find flaws with our team; weren’t you posting this on the mets’ blogs during the summer months, with yankess sub’d for Islanders? Complacency isn’t conducive to winning

this has probably already been posted somewhere on here but I don’t have time to read all the comments.

Zipay’s blog says that Hank is starting tomorrow and that Renney is contemplating other lineup changes.

BEST POST I HAVE SEEN IN A LONG TIME WAS FROM BILLYNYR

I DIDNT EVEN WANT TO COME ON TODAY BECAUSE I KNEW THERE WOULD BE RETARDED FANS RIPPING THE RANGERS APART BECAUSE OF A OT LOSS. THEY ARE ONE OF THE HOTTEST TEAMS THIS MONTH AND THREE POINTS WILL BE FINE OUT OF THE TWO ISLANDER GAMES. THE FANS THA BOOD ATTHE GAME YESTERDAY ARE PATHETIC. THE ONLY THING ANYONE SHOULD COMPLAIN ABOUT IS JAGR NOT GOING IN THE SHOOTOUT ATLEAST AFTER THE FIRST THREE. OTHERWISE IN MY EYES THEY HAVE NOT BEEN BAD THERE NOT GOING TO WIN EVERY GAME FOR THE REST OF THE SEASON LET THEM JUST KEEP GETTING POINTS.
