The way the powerplay sucked this series --what -- like 2 for 20? --- do you think it would have made that much of a difference? Calls get missed, some worse than others. The puck bounces. Enough of the wahh wahh, though. If the Pens made as many stupid mistakes as we did, and the PP sucked as bad as ours, we'd have probably won. I don’t care how many calls we didn’t get.

I literally check ten times a day to read your new posts. I even put the rss feed into my blackberry! Thanx for an awesome season, have a great summer, and hopefully with some key off season acquisitions, we'll be able to have a monster game 6 in the garden next year. sam, you’re the man.

And that is uncomfortable for them, because they do not at all wish to consider the shallow nature of their knowledge, and they do not like that others seem to know more than they do. As usual, as with much human folly, it all comes down to vanity.

On Renney, and this is why people like you who call others morons are such inviting targets: For the nine-hundredth time, Renney is not a bad coach. Okay? He has strengths. He handles the media well. He promotes a happy room. He is able to integrate youth with veterans and keep factions from developing. All well and good. But he is a poor bench coach, and that is being kind. The examples of this incapacity are as along as my arm --- do you need them listed again? Take today's game --- the team reacted all day until the third period; there was no desperation from the opening faceoff; there was never any attempt by Renney to get matchups favorable to the NYR (ie. Gill away from Jagr); there was no protest, not a PEEP, to the non-call against Drury as he bled a quart on the ice; there was the usual pathetic PP formation, with no modifications. Now you can stick your head in the sand on all of this. But if you do, you'll be the "moron" you are today long beyond tomorrow.

Renney's sit back and play not to lose mentality can only get this team so far. From the blown leads to the passive play in OT (0-2 in playoff OT games this season), it leads me to believe that maybe his defense first system isn't working. What team blows a 5 goal lead in the regular season, and then doesn't learn from their mistakes and blows a 3 goal lead in the playoffs? Sitting on a lead doesn't work, being aggressive does! And would it kill Renney to show some emotion once in awhile? It amazes me how he just stands there after the refs blow a call, chewing his gum like Violet Beauregarde from Willy Wonka. czechthemout & kaspar, truer words have never been spoken.

I agree the officiating sucks...bad...no consistency...and I'm looking forward to watching to see if it continues into the next series... That being said, I can not side with you morons who continue to insist Renney is a bad coach...your obviously clueless... Most post raise point that make no sense... No matter what coach is at the helm...all you bitchers would still have a problem with any coach. Don't forget the grass is always greener...With all your "hockey knowledge" I find it hard to believe any coach would satisfy you... Renney is smarter than you and that is were the problem lies...he holds more hockey knowledge in his pinky than you in your entire body...I like what he's doing and what he has done with My team...the youth he employs, the egos he coaches...3 years in the playoffs...the best Ranger coach in my lifetime...and I look forward to what he is going to do next season... Does he always do the right thing? probably not but who out of all of us does...thats right...no one! I'm disappointed for sure...but I remember back to an entry by the Hockey Rodent written last September (I think) about bringing Star players on and the high expectations that go with that...and how the vast majority of teams who bring in players like we did last summer, don't usually succeed the first go round...I honestly believe next season is going to be better... Sam thanks for a good year and thanks for the blog…I look forward to your real thoughts…
