Oh nm...

Rutgers….

Yea, I didn’t see Cuse showing up today.

I gotta say tho, from the 3-4 games I’ve seen of Rutgers this year, you guys are gonna have a nice team the next few seasons.

Yea, the potential is there. In the long run the loss doesn’t mean that much since RU is still going bowling and has long been eliminated from the BE race; I wouldn’t mind today’s loss nearly as much if it wasn’t to Cuse.

I was pretty optimistic until I read Jim’s preview. Looks like we could get smoked tonight. I’m still hoping our guys show up with the thunder.

by WalkerNYRanger on Nov 21, 2009 7:01 PM EST reply actions   0 recs

there is always reason for optimism, I just think some people thought all the Rangers had to do was bring their sticks on the ice to win this one, but Florida is playing well

Well

Florida gives up a ton of shots (nearly 35 a game). So there will be chances to get some players going today.

Panthers have horrible special teams

which means Fla is real good at even strength. They are rarely outworked. Rangers better match the intensity

A couple Ranger d-men have made nice plays by diving on the ice to take away a passing lane, when was the last time Redden or Rozy did that?

by nyrangerfan521 on Nov 21, 2009 7:29 PM EST reply actions   0 recs

That was a real nice dive infront of the net to break up the pass from Weiss.

But I know the odds are stacked against you, but that was a piss poor effort by Girardi on the 2-1

by goodieNY on Nov 21, 2009 7:31 PM EST up reply actions   0 recs

yeah that was basically a 2 on 0 after that play by girardi. my point is when was the last time redden or rozy went down like that to take away a passing lane or block a shot

Here's the easy recap

Team sucked for 2 1/2 periods.
1st line does all the work.
Kotalik can’t backcheck.
Rozsival so not bad that even Rosen noticed he’s not bad.
We miss Drury and Dubinsky alot more than anyone wanted to give them credit for.

That’s about it.

You forgot to add 189 consecutive sellouts, other than that though I say it’s fit to print

Damn, i missed the Kovalchuk fight. I wonder if he was any worse than Voros.

Has anyone seen that video of Kovalchuk scoring and then pointing at Crosby who was in the penalty box like 4 years ago? Ever since I saw that I wanted him to be a Ranger.

isn’t there a song the Organist can play that will get this team going enough to tie it?

redden needs to go by the trade line…hes been decent at best for the most part, he shows up for some games and leaves his skill at home most others

Sather’s already used up all of his miracles.

If Avery had put that chance in my head might’ve blown up.

Has a team not scored on the Ranger’s empty net this season?

by WalkerNYRanger on Nov 21, 2009 9:22 PM EST reply actions   0 recs

this team cannot win a big faceoff to save their lives

by nyrangerfan521 on Nov 21, 2009 9:23 PM EST reply actions   0 recs

forget big, they can barely win a faceoff in the first period

by LIrangersfan on Nov 21, 2009 9:24 PM EST up reply actions   0 recs

haha, win the faceoff and then ice it.

3 losses in row at home. Ah!

I can't take this anymore.

I don’t know what needs to give, but the lack of creativity (offensively), discipline (defensive coverage), and straight up heady play is killing me. If not for King Henrik, this would’ve been a 5-2 game.

I find it hard to believe Drury (who has looked lost from his first day here) and Dubinsky (akin to Anisimov has no puck control) are the problems.

I’m not a fan of firing coaches this early in the season, but – on paper – this a solid team. There’s simply no excuse for this awful play. If I wasn’t paying $2 per game (off the NHL PPV package), I’d turn this crap off until remedied.

On a happier note, if any of you is down my way (Tampa) for this week’s game, please drop me a line. I’d love to grab a beer with a fellow BB’er.
