Comments on: The players as they head out the door http://rangers.lohudblogs.com/2009/04/30/the-players-as-they-head-out-the-door/ News and insight about the New York Rangers by Rick Carpiniello Fri, 10 Feb 2012 18:33:42 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Rob M http://rangers.lohudblogs.com/2009/04/30/the-players-as-they-head-out-the-door/#comment-179579 Rob M Fri, 01 May 2009 22:44:17 +0000 http://rangers.lohudblogs.com/?p=4071#comment-179579 Everyone talks about DUMPING this guy and his salary, or dumping that guy and his salary.. its highly unlikely.. and if it does, then what? Spend and overpay on ANOTHER free agent that we dont know how they will do in NY.. We have to live with what we have and have faith.. Redden is not going to be the QB we signed him to be, but we have a lot of young depth at that position and unlimited potential.. with Gomez and Drury we just have to hope they come back with stronger years.. its not IMPOSSIBLE that they could play better next year.. everyone wants to throw guys out the window so quickly all the time, guys have bad years, they r human beings.. i was saying a week ago we have to get rid of zherdev bc of how disgusted i was with his playoff performance, but thats in the heat of the moment.. i rather have antropov than him, but i really dont know if i want to just throw zherdev away after one year with the team, under a defensive system for most of the year.. maybe he can flourish under a full year of torts.. nobody knows what can happen.. i cant argue with people bashing him for his play, but we did giv up tyutin for this guy and like someone mentioned it woudl be a shame to see him walk and then go to another team and score 30-40 goals.. at the right price we shoudl probably give this guy another year or two, i jsut dont know how everyone is going to fit and i really would liek to see antropov back bc of that size and potential.. but i doubt seeing both of them back, we can only wait and see waht happens.. my main point it, things can get better even if there are not alot of new free agent signing pickups.. the young guys get a year older, and maybe drury and gomez come back with big years, its not like they r 40 year olds out there that are completely done in their careers..

He played good for us all year almooost.. He had a horror show in atlanta which was a huge game for us so everyone probably hates him for that, and he also had a horrible 5 minutes in toronto in that breakdown of a game that we had the lead for the entire game. Besides that the guy played acceptionally well, and say what you want about his numbers or wahtever under renney, but he still made saves when he needed to make saves.. its not like we were only letting up 10 shots a game. The guy earned a spot back with the team in my opinion.. i dont know enough about the young guys like wiikman to defend their side, but im fine with vali.

Sharks are happy with Boyle. it is Nabokov, Marleau, and Thornton that they are pissed off with nabokov is a playoff choker. Marleau is not a good captain because he does not hate losing, and Big Joe is more concerned with being left off next years Team Canada olympic roster than he is the playoff losses my prediction. they will make Boyle the Captain. they will demote Marleau to the Asst cap, they will take the A off of Joe and they will trade nabokov. no way they can come back with the same goalie who has let them down for a decade it took 23 shots per goal to beat Hiller, a playoff rookie. but only 9 shots to beat nabokov the sharks give up the fewest shots in the entire league, but can't get clutch goaltending. right.

my prediction. they will make Boyle the Captain. they will demote Marleau to the Asst cap, they will take the A off of Joe

and they will trade nabokov. no way they can come back with the same goalie who has let them down for a decade

it took 23 shots per goal to beat Hiller, a playoff rookie. but only 9 shots to beat nabokov

the sharks give up the fewest shots in the entire league, but can’t get clutch goaltending.
