We live in NY, things are expensive and we're gonna pay more than St. Louis or Pittsburgh. All teams in NY are increasing ticket prices, even the Mets have ridiculous prices nowadays and they were by far the most fan friendly and family oriented of all the sports franchises in NY. When Citi Field opens up, it's gonna be a lot more corporate, kinda like how the Prudential Center is. Islanders have ridiculous prices too. It stinks, and because most people on this board are intelligent people who do fine but aren't $uits; we suffer, however the days of sports being for the blue collar fan or common man or hanging out with the Brooklyn Dodgers are long gone. The good thing is at least the Rangers are one of the more accessible and friendly teams, even if all of us can't go to as many games as we once did.

They got realllllllll greedy this year. Last two seasons they only put the 1st 2 rounds and said IF the team got to the cup finals, they would call and talk about the pricing and tickets then. This year they decided screw it, we're putting the cup finals on there too since this team has shown us so much that they are capable of getting there. Now I'm going to laugh if they get knocked out in the first round strictly based on the fact that they added the cup finals this year when they never included it in the playoff package before. haha. I've been away the last few days and just to touch up on a few things, Backman still looks a bit lost out there and understandably so since its tougher to get adjusted as a d-man than a forward. However he needs to pick up his game, maybe one or 2 more chances then hes out. Also doesn't help him and Staal are paying together instead of him and a vet like Struds or even Mara. As for Henke, this guy needs to step up. I'll only blame him for the 3rd goal for his turnover, but this guy has not been a world class goalie like he was in the past. People wanna defend him, say our defense is bad, but yet this is the same defense that was in front of him when he was leading the league in GAA early on in the season. I don't think he's gotten complacent with his new contract coming in next year, but I think if anything he's just lost a bit of confidence and gives up a couple easy goals here and there. Its a tough spot for Renney, do you play him and hope he finds that confidence, or do you sit him a bit more and risk further ruining that confidence. I'd like to play him as much as possible, but Vally has earned the right to get more games after his 2 outstanding performances in Philly, the time he saved Henke's ass at MSG, and pretty much all year (minus the Yotes game which wasn't even his fault to begin with).

You guys need to stop blaming Dolan for everything. Yeah, sometimes Id rather have a fan (like a Cuban) run my team too but at the end of the day, an NHL franchise is a business. And in this case its run by a businessman. If you dont like it, dont pay and stay home and watch on TV. If you like it and can afford it, then pay and go. Some of you sound like those guys who they interview on the news when they have a subway fare hike. Of course no one likes it, ist part of life and how economics work. Man I need a win tonight, or at least I need to get laid! If they couldnt get that dollar amount they would reduce prices. You guys need to stop blaming Dolan for everything.
