Drury loves to party. As I told you guys when he was in Buffalo, one of my friends knew Ryan Miller real well and they’d all go out and Drury would just get drunk and go crazy. Its weird because he is so quiet until you see him out at the clubs.

Perfect example of negative coaching thats done in NHL was last nights Devils-sens game

I posted about it after the game

Hartsberg kept Spezza-Heatley-Alfie on the bench in last minute of a 3-3 game ( after they had blown 3 one goal leads) so he could play the Donovans and Kellys etc…and protect the single point…

he got his precious point and gave up two to a conference rival but he’s still only 5 games under .500 in the newspaper…do you think Bryan Murray is that stupid???

Not only do they not work hard consistently, their play in the defensive zone without the puck is horrendous. That has nothing to do with personnel—- that is pure coaching incompetence.

The bigger issue is the tension with which the Rangers play. The playing not to win but to hopefully not lose that is at the heart of Renney’s philosophy. He is fearful in every bone of his body——- even with a 4-0 lead at home against a decimated Caps team, it was all about running out the clock rather than running the opposition out of the building. Loser is as loser does.

Wrong Steve – they do not work hard most nights – that is the issue. Whether that is Renney’s fault or not is debatable – but it seems every game the Rangers have played over the past month the other team has wanted it more.

You all want Renney gone, as if coaching is the major issue with this team. I am not thrilled with all of his decisions, but this team is so poorly constructed that, if you only change the coach, you won’t make a long term difference. Gomez and Drury are being asked to do more than they have had to do in the past. They never had to carry teams for a season; they can’t do it here. The defense is poorly constructed. The forwards do not include a single consistent goal scoring threat. Zherdev is talented, but he is Alex Kovalev circa 1997. The team is a mess from a personnel standpoint.

Can the coaching be criticized? Sure, especially when it comes to special teams. There is nothing wrong with their basic systems; they play the same basic style as most every other team. They just don’t have personnel that is good enough. They work hard most nights; they just aren’t good enough.

uhhh Mikey… Renney doesn’t sign/trade for the people. he just coaches them. Hence his job title, Head Coach.

Sam can you request an interview with Sather?
Where the hell is he and what is he doing other than pretending his imported Cuban cigars are someones kock?

No moves, still two players sitting on there ass, still no 7th Dman, and still the same GAPING holes in our team with no resolution in sight.

HE usually makes his moves between now and Feb so what the hell is the plan?

Does anyone even have an idea?

And Avery solves nothing, jsut adds more baggage.
Callahan effectively does more than he did without the penalties and with more scoring.

Dman
PP QB
Top line scorers

How can we all see this and Douche Renney can not.

First Lohan dont you EVER call me bob. I’m a regular, but I’m “under cover” lol
second. I don’t think its personnel, this team has shown a flashes of scoring. I think its this horrible system that obviously does not work.
and rocketnyr- good post! I would love to hear the answers to those questions, but I don’t see it happening.

Renney’s seriously got to go. As it stands, this team sucks. Part of that’s personnel, but part of that’s a coach who is playing the wrong system for the personnel he’s been dealt. And it’s easier to lose the coach than to replace 10+ guys.
