I wrote: “You guys know any teams that have won a Cup with a crap goaltender? On the other side, have you known any teams that were OK in their system and bulwarked by a Vezina-like goalie? I know the answers to those questions. So should all you other dopes.”

Hey Gresch you idiot. You are one fo the dopes I was referring to. Basic English lesson for you: When you see the words, “On the other side,” in a sentence it usually means, “in contrast to the previous sentence,” you f-ing buttnut. You respond to that statement by saying, “Yes plenty of those guys go deep into June fighting for the Cup.” That was what I said you sh*t-for-brains. That was why I CONTRASTED it to the previous statement referring to winning a Cup with a crap goaltender.

Gresch when you learn to read English and speak in sentences that make sense, then come back to this blog. For now, why don’t you and Bob go circle jerk each other.

And by the way, how long has Renney been at the helm of the NYR? Is the team progressing upwards or downwards? You have the mental age of a 5 yr old I think. When are you due back in Boystown?

so… if the rangers make the playoffs this year, without 1/2 that equation, what happens? is it just “Lundqvist = playoffs”?

Does that mean Renney won’t ever get respect until Henrik does down with a long injury, and the team still does good? Cause you know, if the Rangers win the Cup, then people would say “Lundqvist + (name hot forward in spring here) = Cup”.

Renney is in the top 5.

Name me 4 coaches better than him.

Since you know so much about coaching… who do you want to bring in to take us to the promise land?

First, who’s available. Second, why? Third, how are they better than Renney.

If you call for someone’s head, you better have a plan B.

I’m curious who you want.

And PLEASE don’t say Mike Babcock or Bruce the Wrestling Fan.

...

yup…

“HAY GUYZ BUT WE KEEP GETTING INTO THE PLAYOFFS… NO OTHER COACHEZ GOTTED US THERE IN THE LAST XXX YEARS!!! YA IM SURE RENNEY IS THE BAD COACH…IDIOTZ!!! LULZ”

Reality: Lundqvist + Jagr = playoffs (and barely squeaking in, mind you)

I’m sure people would have said that about Carolina, Anaheim, or Tampa Bay winning Cups recently?

Sure Renney’s not the best coach in the league, but he’s in the top 1/2. That gives them a CHANCE. Hell even Detroit, with all their stars and talent and scouting only have a good CHANCE of wining the Cup. Don’t dismiss close to 30 people busting their asses because Renney isn’t the best at his job.

Forgive me for not caring.

And, you took my comments out of context. You, amongst others, blamed last year’s loss to the Pens on line combinations and matching up against Crosby and Malkin.

Funny thing is, those two players didn’t really beat us. We beat ourselves.

Matching up is only effective when its necessary. You don’t match line combos for 60 minutes. At some point, you ahve to player your OWN game and hope it’s good enough to beat the other team.

If you match up defensively for 60 minutes worrying about the other team, how can you establish anything yourself?
