		<description>Beer Me, you bring the same happy go lucky sh*t everday yourself, digging for numbers and twisted angles so you can tell yourself the team is good. I mean to a point, I understand that...but it gets to a point where it just doesn&#039;t hold water anymore. 

Excuse me for having a problem with the team, and calling out people that oppose my views. I bring the fire to my side of the argument. That&#039;s what I do, no one has to like it, no one has to read it. I believe in what I say 1000%, and I mean it from my heart. 

I just refreshed and saw your question. Why do I come back here despite it all? Because I *am* still a fan. I want this team to be good. I enjoy picking them apart, discussing the good and bad...and hoping that they will magically stop being pussies. It&#039;s not as if I wasn&#039;t here praising last season when they legitimately looked like a really strong team that just couldn&#039;t &quot;work out the kinks&quot;...and in that final stretch lats year... man that was awesome... they earned that with hard work. 

But thats why I&#039;m here. I like it. You guys are free to keep milking eachother off about illusions and hallucinations you have about this team, but you can count on me to call BS when I see it... and theres plennnnnty this year.</description>

		<description>I&#039;m offended that you&#039;ve called me a bad fan.  I don&#039;t shell out money for season tix, rush home to watch the games I can&#039;t go to/road games on TV, read endlessly about the team in the papers and on blogs to be called a &quot;bad fan&quot;.  you&#039;re wrong.  you&#039;re just dead wrong.

&quot;Taken for a ride&quot;  Hah.  You make it sound like the Rangers struggle on purpose.  You make it sound like Renney&#039;s trying to lead a medicore squad to torture the fans.  Get a grip, man.  Sure there have been off nights...probably more than there should have been.  But that&#039;s the season through 72 games and I won&#039;t waste me breath pissing and moaning about it.  I&#039;m interested in what this team does going forward over the next 10 games plus playoffs.

Why don&#039;t you just try not watching the games.  It would probably make you a happier person.

Also, don&#039;t believe anything can happen in the playoffs?  Ask the Giants.</description>

		<description>salt - This is a completely honest question.  I know I don&#039;t even have to ask for a completely honest answer.

If you have so much distaste for the Rangers this season.  And so much &#039;disgust&#039; for the &#039;bad fans&#039;.  Then why do you even bother watching the games if you know that we&#039;re going to lose?  And why do you come back here every day to read how people take pride in their team?</description>

		<description>I shared your high expectations going into the year, but obviously it took time for chemistry to develop. Couple that with some games where Lundqvist was out of form, and you have a mediocre start. Why not credit the team for having the guts to at least turn this thing around and get in playoff position? A lot of teams with lesser coaches could have lied down, but at least the Rangers are playing meaningful hockey, and even though theyâ€™re in a precarious position, they still are in playoff position. And anything can happen in the post-season.


........

I critcise you for essentially giving them a pass. That is way too much credit. Time for chemistry to develop? Wrong. There&#039;s no chemistry anywhere, or there would be an effective power play.  

Guts? CREDITING THIS TEAM FOR &quot;Getting into a playoff position&quot;?  You MUST be joking me. YOU MUST BE JOKING ME!!!!! Yes, I&#039;m calling you &quot;bad fans&quot;. Someone satisfied with a team that will squeak into the playoffs &quot;just because *magic* might happen&quot;. Someone who has absolutely zero concern for substance...it&#039;s like you don&#039;t use your minds to say  &quot;hmm...something is just not right with this team, playoffs or not&quot;.  Dude that is so pathetic to actually front like you think this team is gonna come alive and Renney has been hiding his tricks up his sleeve all along. Ugh.. I wish I could be so deluded, seriously, that would be bliss.

I feel like the guy in the movie who realizes everyone else around him is turning into zombies and no one believes him...and he goes to the sherriff and tells him everything and then sees that kooky look in the sherriffs eyes too and knows he&#039;s in on it too.... what the hell happened here?

Oh yah, I know what happened... people are so desperate for something good to come out of this team after all these years that they are unwilling to recognize that perhaps we did indeed absolutley waste this season with weasel Renney behind the bench letting his players play shinny during the day and bang NYC&#039;s finest tail all night while collecting RW&amp;B paychecks with more O&#039;s in them than my cheerios .... and in turn we will accept hot brown diaper mess thinly veiled as professional hockey players that &quot;want to compete for a stanley cup&quot;. Disgusting. 

Have a little respect for yourselves and know when you are getting taken for a ride fans. The time has come. If you are actually a Ranger fan you should be very upset at this point.

And then they will win tonight. They will struggle a little, and it will essentially look pretty good. And then we can all come back here and milk eachothers prostates while forgetting PIT was missing Crosby and Hossa and that still we barely won but &quot;2 pts is 2 pts&quot; and anything can happen in the playoffs. Yeah, it sure can, like some hack team with 3 players like BOS totally exposing NYR for the frauds they are in 5 games.</description>

		<description>salt - usually I like going head to head on stuff like this.  But I&#039;m not in the mood for your f&#039;n garbage today.  You&#039;d be so much happier if you followed a different team.  If you&#039;re so dissapointed with everything Rangers, then just give up and let the rest of us enjoy the rest of the season.</description>
