Comments on: All in a night’s work http://rangers.lohudblogs.com/2008/10/30/all-in-a-nights-work/ News and insight about the New York Rangers by Rick Carpiniello Fri, 10 Feb 2012 14:30:12 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: New Newman http://rangers.lohudblogs.com/2008/10/30/all-in-a-nights-work/#comment-107212 New Newman Fri, 31 Oct 2008 13:41:47 +0000 http://rangers.lohudblogs.com/2008/10/30/all-in-a-nights-work/#comment-107212 A few things: 1) At 10-2-1, hard to be super critical. We are not playing perfectly, far from it actually, but the critique I am goint to lay out is sort of, "where we can improve". 2) Defensive zone work still lackluster. Kalinin's stupid brainfart is just a joke. On the PK he goes behind the goal line in the corner to chase the puck? WTF? And on the other goal against everyone was watching the puck. 3) The PP. Please tell me why everyone stands still and they move the puck so slowly? On a 5 on 3, send guys cycling through the middle of the defending team's triangle. Put two guys in front of the goal. Have the pointmen move a litte rather than remain stationary. Have a guy behind the net. I mean do something creative. WTF? Enough negative...we are tops in the league. Here are some other points: 4) Hank is a pure stud. Just on fire right now. 5) What a sick Orr fight! I give the split decision to him. I mean you have to convincingly beat the champ to take the title, right? But that was a good 90 second brawl. 6) Zherdev on fire. Seems like he lit a spark in Naslund. If so, Renney's move paid off. 7) You guys and the critique of Gomer is just assinine. Cally Gomer Dawes had 10 great chances last night. Lehtonen made some big saves. 8) It is clear as day we need a 3d line winger. Fritsche not getting it done. Prucha, try as he might, same result. Rissmiller, no need to comment. Is Sundin really thinking Blueshirts? He could center Naz and Dru and put Zher back with Dubi and Voros. 9) Someone commented about assists the other day....the assigning of an assist to Dubi and to Mara?!?! on Zherdev's goal underscores the insight on that comment. I mean Zher stole the puck from the defender who was tied up with Dubi. But Mara getting an assist too? Dubi's was questionable, but was Mara even on the ice??? 21 pts out of 26 possible....good stuff. This team could still play better though. How nuts is that? A few things:

They seem to be united...they play with a common goal as opposed to last season when it seemed some nights the team was going in two different directions.

I don't think the ego's last year coulda taken a benching. Jagr gets benched in Oct last year, and Slats is behind the bench by thanksgiving. No doubt in my mind. sesak – I also think that the players on the team NOW, as opposed to last year will respond to it. I don’t think the ego’s last year coulda taken a benching.

Totally agree with pretty much everything in that post. nasty - your crazy dude. And if you're not, then ... well, I don't know. brandon - Right on that once again. Hard to believe we've scored ANY ppg's with 5 statues out there. Mara is the shizznit. Great attitude. As well as the rest of the TEAM. I think that's my favorite part about this season so far. With the exception of the 1993-1994 NYR, this years team is the 'closest' TEAM I've seen since I was old enough to be a fan (early 80's). STAAL – great points all around there.

Maybe he learned a little last year. I like it and it is working out well. I am not getting on Renny but I don’t remember seeing anyone benched this early last year.
