Comments on: Wings-Rangers in review http://rangers.lohudblogs.com/2009/12/07/wings-rangers-in-review/ News and insight about the New York Rangers by Rick Carpiniello Fri, 10 Feb 2012 15:00:52 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: laserman http://rangers.lohudblogs.com/2009/12/07/wings-rangers-in-review/#comment-238461 laserman Tue, 08 Dec 2009 02:37:41 +0000 http://rangers.lohudblogs.com/?p=5908#comment-238461 IMHO The only thing wrong with Lundqvist is a good case of shellshock. I wonder what his save percentage would be on a team like Detroit or the (God forbid) Pens! I'm willing to bet he faces far more shots from the slot, and odd man breaks than almost any other goalie in the league. The main culprit remains our soft, inexperienced "D". The other fact that we can't score is another huge problem. Rozsival should not be getting first line minutes (and salary) with the way he handles the puck. Any forward that pressures him, and he turns the puck over about 70% of the time. As much as I hated Redden last year, he was playing somewhat respectable (still not worth close to his salary though) this year before he got hurt. Throw in the waste that Drury has become and this team could have 6 decent players for the money they are pissing away on 3. Since waiving these players would be admitting to the world that he was wrong, Sather would rather see this team play themselves into oblivion which is whats happening now! Want to bet that Torts gets thrown under the bus if he can't make a silk purse out of this sows ear? The 2 people responsible for this mess are Sather and Dolan, and I can't see and end to this buffoonery in sight!!! IMHO The only thing wrong with Lundqvist is a good case of shellshock.

I also remember how someone was really tired at the end of the season and partly due to his poor play at the end of the season caused the team to lose first place on the last game of the season. I also remember how that same person blamed his poor performance the next season on personal problems although I too would probably play bad if my father gets sick and passed away. Ohh I also remember how that same person had another bad 2-3 months because he used to grind his teeth which game him a headache. And now that same person instead of taking blame wants to talk about the team playing in front of him instead of being a man and saying he cost the team the game. Unfortunately there is no accountabily on this team. But he still stinks. Thanks CCCP Wicky no need for name calling yeh i remember the past 4 years in the playoffs.

I just wish he would stay with it for a whole game. His mind wonders and he makes simple fundamental mistakes. The guy stands on his head making these great saves, then he falls asleep and lets one roll by him. I remember Mike Richter let the odd soft one in. One from center ice, but they were rare because his goaltending skills were sound. He played the angles well, and moved side to side well. Richter was very hard to score on. Hank could be that good but hes not there yet. I critize Hank as much as most of these guys, but I would not advocate trading him. I just wish he would stay with it for a whole game.
