Sun, 07 Mar 2010 17:18:21 +0000 http://rangers.lohudblogs.com/?p=6872#comment-286448 I quite honestly have no problem with the bottom portion of our roster or the way shelley has played. I blame the majority of the problems on coaching. Shelley can't fight if he has no one to fight, I have not seen one guy challenge him that he has refused, that is because our coach (who I was so happy to get btw) doesn't put him out in the right situations. He always seems to be out there with non-fighters, I mean when was the last fight prust had? Torts is quickly falling out of favor with me. He benches redden every other game and redden play just as well (or just as horrible) as rozy and is waaaayyy more physical than rozy, but rozy never gets benched. He calls out avery all the time when he is one of the few players who actually leaves it on the ice. Dubi seems to make more mistakes than most forwards, but evidently gets the drury treatment and is never really punished. Avery plays better on the "edge" everyone in the league knows this, but torts will just not let him go there! If redden is sooo bad, why has torts not had someone from hartford called up? Is our hartford roster that bad perhaps? He does like the new back up goalie though (for what it's worth, so do I) I quite honestly have no problem with the bottom portion of our roster or the way shelley has played.

Overall, I think they are playing better now than a few months ago. However, they have a very long way to go before they can be considered a Cup contender. Now they are just a Cup pretender. One thing that will make them better is if they keep the current lines intact for the rest of the season, and let them learn to play more cohesively.

That's not good enough; we need to keep losing. If the entry draft were to be held today, we’d have the 8th overall pick. That’s not good enough; we need to keep losing.

They're 'accepting' what will happen this year. They aren't planning for next year, that would have meant trading Olli, Prospal, and Girardi away from drafts and prospects. While I agree, this team is not surprising anymore, the management is hoping they can hold on long enough for 2 home playoff games otherwise the three previously mentioned players would be on other teams already.

You’ve been watching this team all year long and something shocks you still? I'm not shocked or surprised...i kinda feel indifferent right now. Didn’t you guys get the memo? By not making big moves at the trade date line (besides bringing Olli in and getting rid of Kotalik and Higgins), the management is telling us that they are OK with whatever happens this year...they are planning for the next year already (which i think is a good thing) and so should you! So get your fishing gear out...start your gardens or plan your vacations...there be no long beard this season. P.S. I’m going to the rally and I hope to see some of you there. I’ll have my Nikon camera with me and I’ll be wearing black Rangers hat and a black t-shirt that says “Half Man Half Amazing” lol find me!

But before they got Kovalchuk they had one top line player (Parise). Now they have a top line, before then they had a couple 2nd lines, and a couple third lines. Obviously that's a better setup than the Rangers have, as you commented. bull dog, I agree. But before they got Kovalchuk they had one top line player (Parise).
