A good team can overcome the occasional gaffe. The problem (and winning only 2 of the last 7 in regulation is a problem) is one thing: PP. Rozi/Redden may need a good benching, but you have to question the strategy, as well. The opponents seem to have an easy time obstructing the shooting lanes. They need to cycle more. Why does everybody stand by Perry “PP” Pearn? Since Petr “PP” Prucha lost his touch they always struggled on the PP. I don’t think they should react to the booing the way they do, but they should react to the results.

If “good human beings” are the game, let’s bring in Orel Hershiser to play D. He always “gives it to God” when he does well, and has nice things to say about everybody.

“Did anyone read the garbage on Ekulnds blog about Trading away Gomez to make room for Sundin? And he says INSIDERs, and TEAM MEMBERS.”

I heard this rumor a while back and laughed my a$$ off.

Why does anyone even listen to or talk about Edklund? Why?

Ranger Nation, I agree with everything you said except that Ryan Callahan is not a midget!

tuscon ken – well said

someone said we did not beat other good teams. what about the pens and flyers

“true fans” – remember you’re in the minority albeit a vocal minority. only 10% or 20 % of fans would hurt the whole team by booing one of their own. while some of these guys play is certainly less than should be it still brings the rest of the team down and makes the target play that much worse. well remember while you’re booing, I’m booing you and I’m sure I’m not the only one. with true fans like you the teams chances of ever winning the cup are diminished. and if the rest of the team quit like you do they will never be winners.

actually no im wrong on the part when i said our other d makes as many mistakes as rozy. they dont. but everybody has a bad game. rozy just seems to have too many bad games. i have faith in him though. i do think that if he realizes what hes doin to this team and really digs deep to really earn his paycheck, he might be worth holding on to at the very least to boost his trade value.

truefans- i do believe everyone has a right to complain, i used to do it alot when i was younger. i would yell at the tv and curse and if the rangers lost it ruined my day. in fact i still do that sometimes im not gonna lie and say i never get mad at our guys because last night i was yellin at rozy. but if u think about both goals the b’s scored it wasnt like he put the puck in our own net. the first 1 actually was just great forechecking by lucic. weve seen cally and duby do that alot. i know he couldve played it harder but it wasnt like a giveaway in the slot like girardi did in the first. if that turned into a goal, wed be pissed at girardi. the 2nd, obviously was his fault but hank couldve definitely stopped that. im not tryin to justify his poor play but ive seen every one of our d make dumbass mistakes just as much as rozy. ive also seen gomez give up the puck way more times than hes done something good with it. he gets paid more money and has just 1 more goal than rozy. ive seen mara take shots from the point and miss 95 % of the time. but i will agree with you on this, rozy does NOT play up to his salary and it pisses me off too. and i agree that we shouldnt have to wait until were down by 2 to start playing. i also think renny should sit rozy a game or 2. honestly i dont know if it would matter much. the only problem i have is when ranger fans boo their own players. it doesnt help and gives a psychological edge to the other team to pressure him more. but yea if he doesnt start playin better somethings gotta be done.

I think we can package Rozsival + Prucha to someone who has the cap space for a couple two-piece sticks (not the one-pieces, they’re a little more marketable these days) and a low low round pick or an AHL journeyman. I can’t wait for prucha to be traded, not because I want to see him gone, but I want the kid to have a FAIR chance. He didn’t get a fair shake here and Renney straight-up lied about that. Prucha’s going to find a home somewhere and if he stays healthy have a couple more 20 goal seasons.

Heck, Rozsival is going to be the first Ranger I have ever boo’d. And when it happens, I won’t be boo’ing Rozsival, I’ll be boo’ing Sather. I want Sather to move this bum and the ONLY way Sather might is if fans express their displeasure with having him on the team. If Rozsival’s play suffers because of the booing, then consider it the status quo because he was going to suck anyway.
