Comments on: While waiting for the chips to fall… http://rangers.lohudblogs.com/2008/06/13/while-waiting-for-the-chips-to-fall/ News and insight about the New York Rangers by Rick Carpiniello Fri, 10 Feb 2012 19:15:59 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: SeamusORiley http://rangers.lohudblogs.com/2008/06/13/while-waiting-for-the-chips-to-fall/#comment-89481 SeamusORiley Sat, 14 Jun 2008 22:53:57 +0000 http://rangers.lohudblogs.com/2008/06/13/while-waiting-for-the-chips-to-fall/#comment-89481 Before this year, I never would have believed it. Now, after watching the playoffs, right into Detroit, I do believe. The NBA will smear this ref something awful, but that doesn't change a thing. Just as Roger Clemons about his future political aspirations, polygraphs, and video. Before this year, I never would have believed it.

On so many nights, "static, slow-moving and perversely timid..." was a very apt description of NYR. I've said the same thing many times, only in different words. Funny article. In my opinion, coaching bears the brunt of responsibility for the paper tigers we saw on the ice this past season, and the gap between what should have been and what we got. I wish we had a different coach. Renney's 'player development' card is overplayed by a lot of folks. We need a bench boss.

It was the line combos. When Dawes was with Drury/Gomez, that unit was great. The problem with Strak/Dubi/Jagr is no one there will really park their derrier in front of the net, well Dubi would, but he's the center and gotta get the puck to everyone. Callahan can be the guy to park in front of the net and let the D (which will hopefully include Ron Hainsey) take bombs. Pearn wasn’t the problem. It was the line combos.

Nabokov deserved that trophy but there's such a bias towards Brodeur it sickens me.

Any one that takes a Renney coached team seriously, has to be one step from the home for the terminally silly. I find that I’m in agreement with so many of the abve ( and that scares me.)

New York Rangers Movie: Funny Games Summary: By “funny,” I mean “strange.” Because any team that has Jaromir Jagr, Chris Drury, Martin Straka and Scott Gomez on it, yet finishes 25th overall in goals-per-game average, is a team that’s playing some strange games. Let's see, so that means they had a guy who's production has steadily plummeted during his time here, a career 58 point guy, a career 13-16 goal scorer (60 points last year) guy, and another guy who's lucky to play the entire season and averages between 50-70 points...AND THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO BE AN OFFENSIVE JUGGERNAUT?! Let me list the reasons they weren't better offensively: Jagr (motivation), Straka (hands are going), Drury (because he sucks), Gomez (because he's not a scorer and didn't have one with him this year), Shanahan (see Gomez's problem), and Nylander (because he wasn't a Ranger anymore). Anymore questions? Who liked the hockey news Screen-shots Rangers Review?
