Agree with you Staal Wart. I was at the game last night too. I think the players need to step up, the Rangers lost that game by playing sloppy and failing to be in a position to win.

On the first goal someone should have covered for Kalinin when he took the puck in past the goal line. He was the 2nd player back going the other way into the Rangers zone after going deep. It shouldn’t happen like that.

On the second goal, I almost couldn’t believe I watched Gomez just stand there. I’d like to think he’s still hurt and not just being lazy.

I haven’t posted much lately, because frankly I just needed a break, but I just have to comment because I have been known to look at the big picture with Renney and overall I liked what I saw, not everything, but like I said, BIG picture. However that being said, I was at the game last night and and I just don’t see a motivated team at this time. I see a frustrated Lundquist who from what I saw didn’t even go to the bench during TV timeouts like every other player.
I see a team who playes on the outskirts of the offensive zone and outside of Zherdev has almost NO scoring punch…I mean nothing…I remember 1 scoring chance last night and it happened in the first 30 seconds of the game. I hate to say it but last night the most action I saw in the offensive zone was from the 4th line…NOT GOOD! Orr, Betts and Sjo looking dangerous? come on!
Gomez has no finisher, he does the same thing, skates the puck up the ice and its a thing of beauty, but there is no one in position to do anything so…he goes behind the net sends it to the point for a shot that takes a millenium to get off and ends up being blocked when in stead there should have been a winger skating behind him for a drop pass and one timer.
I also saw a team that botched a line change so bad that for almost 30 seconds we had 4 skaters on the ice.
Like usual I can’t put all the blame on Renney, some yes, line changes shouldn’t happen like that. But its Sathers job to get a finisher for Gomez. Its Sathers job to surround Drury, Gomez and Zherdev with players who complement them. Its Sathers job to know the scope of the league and find players who fit in here. Don’t get me wrong, I think we have a good team base here but we need a few more offensive parts that fit.
On the other hand its also Sathers job to not just throw money at a washed up Redden, I can’t believe that he is here for the next 6 years. WTF!!! Potter looked shaky at first but I have to say, Potter in one game outplayed Redden and he throws the body. I know some will disagree here but…I’d rather have Rozi and his contract than Redden with his. Rozi at least shows signs of competence.
Sather has been here longer than Renney and frankly outside of landing Zherdev, Gomez and Drury who I like he has sucked!
So before calling for Renney head please aim for Sathers!

Whoever said the top 4 aren’t the only guys playing poorly, that’s true. But its no surprise to me that Hank, Mara and staal are the best rangers right now. I’ve been saying that since halfway thru last season. I think Z and Naz also work hard and create offense but are being stifled by all 3 centers and voros. Naz and Z should be with Dubi. Gomez just needs to work harder, plain and simple. Drury HAS to start producing! Redden and rozi have to play better. Renney has to loosen up with his system because its not working…after those things change the rest of the players will fall in place. Its just naïve not to put the responsibility on the coach, captain, and other big contract guys. They were all brought here to win and given the ice time they get they are way more at fault than a Callahan, betts, or a prucha.

JAGR,GRETZKY AND MARIO L. IN THEIR RESPECTIVE PRIME WOULDN’T SCORE IN RENNEY’S GAME PLAN.

GET SOMEONE WHO HAS THE SAME PHILOSOPHY IN COACHING AS THE COACH IN WASHINGTON OR MONTREAL AND WE WILL BE OK.

Audioserf, I also feel that Atlanta will win the next game. They smell blood and are hungry to beat us since we put them out of the playoffs in one of the few playoff series we’ve won in the last 10 or so years.

IF, and I say IF, Renney had balls he’d take the “C” away from Drury and give it to Paul Mara. One of the few that are playing with any heart AND he took a paycut to stay with this team instead of raping the team.
