I love some of you who from the comfort of your couch or your seat at the game could honestly say Z and Voros didn’t warrent a benching…we all spend absolutely NO time with the players, we don’t see them in practice we aren’t behind the bench…we never interact with them and somehow we know whats best…un fuggin real!

How bout the benching of Z and Voros was NOT because they did something wrong but because they could have done more?

I know some will disagree but…
I think Renney is a good coach. His players go to battle for him every night. We are winning games and we aren’t even playing great hockey…this is not the finished product! What has Renney done wrong? Who would you rather have? I can’t name one coach out there I’d rather have.
I’m getting so fuggin sick of the bitching and moaning every fuggin day. I sometimes wonder what some of you are watching…FUGG!

Lev – I’ve wondered that too, when people will watch up to us in Games Played. the entire 1st part of the season, we play at least 3 games a week (until the week of X-mas). That’s about average/high. I don’t think teams play a WHOLE lot during X-mas & New Years, so we could lead Games Played until 2009…

Vogs,

I have generally been a Neil Smith supporter more than a negator over the years, but how were the Rangers the best team of the 90’s?

We missed the playoffs in 93, 98 and 99 and we won one Stanley Cup.

Pittsburgh and Detroit both won two cups in the 90’s and Pittsburgh knocked us out of the playoffs in 92 and 96.

As a Ranger fanatic, I’d love to stake the claim that we were the best team of the 90’s, the reality is a little different.

“Greg L….The Rangers fans know the by boooing Rosival , either 1) He will start scoring 2)or get him traded.”

so booing Rozsival will get him to start scoring? That statement is so stupid it doesn’t even warrant a response.

Malik was booed for over 2 years and he didn’t start scoring and he was never traded. You’re using logic that a 4 year old would use.

So my original post for you to get a clue still holds water.

We have played the most games in the NHL, have had a European trip, lost Jagr, Avery, Shanahan and Straka from last years team and have a record of 14-5-2 after 21 games.

I see the reason for all the pessimism, I really do.

Today’s one of those days its tuff to remember that the Rangers have still played a few more games than everyone else. But to be 12pts up on the debbies getting closer to Dec, is fuggin awesome. Even if they won all 4 games they have in hand on us they couldn’t catch us.

I’ll tell ya…the 73 GF the Sharks have through 20 games is crazy. And 10-0-1 at home ain’t to shabby either.

It’s funny. Most of the people that complain that Renney can’t get the most out of his ‘stars’ are the same folks that complain that he coaches not to lose (and play to get to the shootout). Well, Hank is a ‘star’ and is one of the best in the NHL in the shootout. THAT’S getting the most out of one of your stars. It’s 2 points. Just get’em.

Then again, those same people complain about everything, so I guess it really doesn’t matter.

If that’s the shootout rule, it’s the rule. Could use some clarification though. Its also obvious that Mackenzie didn’t watch ruutuu’s game up to that point. He wouldn’t have wondered why the Rangers were upset if he did.

Yes, time to move Prucha (well past time, actually). Always liked him, still do. And so I hope he is traded soon.

Good to see Z is switched on enough to recognise he didn’t have his best game. This is looking like a very good trade and if Fritsche plays like he has in the last couple of games and earns a regular spot it will be a massively one-sided deal. Well done Slats.

Lets see if Slats can now find a way to move Riss and Pru for something worthwhile in return.

As for Renney, when there is a guaranteed point for not losing, why not play not to lose? Gone are the days of buying a bunch of big name scorers to try and blow away the opposition 6-3 or 7-4. Its now about using the cap wisely to get a team who will play together and follow a system, and also backing them up with a top goaltender who can steal you points and win shootouts too.
