Last year our record against West Coast teams was horrible.

We only beat the Sharks in Regulation, and got two other points in shootout LOSSES. Very other game we lost.

SAther has to be working on something. PRucha and Rissmiller cannot continue to eat away at our cap with one sitting in the press box and the other being a million dollar Hartford player.

IF Sundin signs elsewhere, come the first week of Dec, moves will HAVE to be made one way or the other. And if Rosi and Redden keep sucking like they are, something will HAVE TO be done to our Blue line corps.

Staal, MAra, Girardi are safe so far in my eyes.
Kalinen is only on a one year deal, and SEEMS to be getting a little better.

So if the R & R boys don’t step up and start playing, one HAS to go. Cant spend this much cash on tww D men not doing there jobs and not producing.

But then again, when has Sather ever listened to me? lol

I havent been around here long, and this would be my first time posting. I could go into a lot of detail, but I dont have time right now due to the fact that I should get back to work.

Anyways… this is something that Ive been saying to all friends and family and other acquaintances when we talk about hockey and/or the rangers… and it probably holds true for the majority of the other fans who are as frustrated as I am.

“I have no problem watching them lose when they play their hearts out… Its when they get severely outworked/outplayed that I get upset.”

Its possibly even MORE disconcerting when they dont work as hard as the other team and they still win, because all this does is ingrain in their minds ‘hey… we can win and not even try. so why exert ourselves?’. Now, this may or may not be what goes on in their minds… but thats what I see when I watch them play game after game after game of lackluster hockey.

If this team plays remotely close to how they re capable of playing (and we’ve seen flashes of it this season)... then they will leave the rest of the conference in the dust.

I hope the Rangers get up for this game tonight…I hope they take the “low-teir” Phoenix coyotes much more seriously than they took the Senators who were in a 6-game winless streak!!!

Ford,
NO I just realize that I don’t have much say in what goes on.
See the funny thing is we/you can complain all we want but we can’t change a damn thing…unless you like Notorious B.O.B. are going to “call radio stations, sign petitions, and chant “fire Renney” at games and hold up signs…” HAHA! the NHL is not a Democracy!

From my perspective, the people posting here with alarm about the degeneration of this team could easily be seen as more devoted fans of the Rangers than those who continue to have no problem with the status quo.

I’m one of the most significant critics here, and so speaking to the roses and daises, “everything is fine,” readers – my concern is that this isn’t just a losing streak. While it is a streak of losses and the Rangers will pull out of it, there’s a wretched undertone of under-achieving and lackluster play. I hope that DOES NOT continue. I love seeing this team win, but there are signs which point to bad trends. I think Hank knows it and that’s why he bolted from the crease against Vancouver too.

As to the “problems,” another top-6 forward would be great but this team easily scored 3 against Luongo and they didn’t play that great…they have decent offense.

This team is so soft defensively and makes the worst decisions in their own zone. If not for Lundqvist, we’d be in the bottom two teams for goals against.
