are we gonna get to see Leetch play?

Going to disagree with you on this one.
Brooks’ diatribes aimed at Tortorella are beyond “old” at this point.
He needs to go back to journalism and report instead of pontificate. Andrew Gross, as an example, can get the same point across without getting nasty/personal about it.
Oh – wait. Brooks writes for the Post……

Only took him however many games to decide to put Dubi-EC-Gaborik back together.
I say it’ll last at least 6 minutes.

someone tell me wtf good is jody shelley when he has 1 fight in his time here? meanwhile prust has at least 4 or 5 at half the size.
How about Prust going in the box and Shelley/Boyle staying out there.
Torts rules.

LOL @ Torts saying E. Johnson can’t play D.
I wonder if that implies he thinks Redden and Rozie can.
Camp Tortorella - Where Vomit is a Mainstay
Well he failed to convert one last game, so probably.

this is what i mean though only smurf called out mdz on the last one and lots jumped on rozi, what’s up with that?
Perhaps because MDZ was just caught being aggressive, while Rozie was caught being a slow ass overpaid defensive suck?

Summary:
Conklin sucks.
Rozie sucks.
Shelley sucks (corollary, Prust rules)
That’s about the game thus far.

Redden with a penalty again! He’s gotta have more penalty min per mins played they anyone on the team
He’s actually close to last in Penalties taken per 60

He only has 23 PIM on the season. 9 minors, 1 major (well, 10 now)
However,, he leads the team in inopportune penalties most likely

MSG stopped showing the Replay on Goal#2
It shows Redden tipping the puck after it passed drury clean. Hank was pissed. Then Good Ol’ Wade takes a lazy penalty a minute later. Result 3-2 St Lou. Redden is a Cancer!!! The Team Knows It. Let’s not wait until next October to take care of this

This team makes me want to punch someone.
I’m not a violent person, but this team is so damn frustrating.
Torts thinks E. Johnson can't play 'D" ???
That may be the most telling statement of the year. I guess it’s time to say goodbye!!
maybe if they try not aiming for the net
they hit the net?

I think Dolan cut vision and glasses out of the Ranger’s health coverage.
Time to call Obama to get that shit fixed.
Yeah I know, I keep up with it in my spare time-don’t wanna get into politics but I have a few family members it would really help out.
im a big political junkie…yea a lot of people can be helped…should have been finished a lot earlier and implemented sooner, but got to start somewhere.
Winter season being stuck in the office…same, I keep up with stupid shit, out-of-state races…it’s mostly nauseating. Yeah they’ve been jerking off with it for over a year now, but it looks like it’s going to do everything they wanted-albeit not perfect, but it’s a little something better in every aspect.
The pre-existing is my biggest bright spot.
Please
don’t ruin a good hockey discussion with talk about politics.

No
I would feel worse for the fans of the KHL team he lands on over there. No one deserves to watch him make horrible decisions with the puck or his lack of skating ability in general.

can we please have graves suit up for us again?
god i miss rangers players that actually gave a sh*t.
i said this before, graves for boyle, leetch for redden…if chelios can play at 48, they can play now.
i guess you can say chelios can still play.
graves for boyle, prust, shelley, and brashear
damn i hate the flyers even more now cause they keep leaving the door open for this team to catch up.
did you hear the annoucer say he told both weaver and boyes they would score tonight before game. and he said brewer would have a goal in the third.
I got Rosen and Joe tho...

We could get passed by the Islanders.
If that isn’t a sign Sather and Snorts need to go…abandon all hope.
Any bets on Drury going back to his usual post-game conference comatose “well…we didn’t get any breaks tonight…and we’re not consistent….”.
drury aint right for capt, we need somebody with more force than him to lead this team. this is pathetic at best
it can make a difference, he cant even give a decent interview
by bludgeon213uk on Mar 18, 2010 9:38 PM EDT up reply actions
Ya know – it all comes down to the PERFORMANCE of the PLAYERS on the ice.
They missed open nets
They had defensive breakdowns (which happen to the best teams)
and Hank wasn’t sharp.
It ain’t the damn captain and it ain’t the coaches.

I'm not sure I understand the draft lotto
Do the Rangers have to be one of the bottom 5 teams in point total to have a chance at the top pick?
The Rangers don't have anything
that anyone would want. Forget about trading up. Won’t happen, IMO

We’d have to give up something that’s part of the future, and in reality, it doesn’t really happen in the NHL. It’s not the NFL.
If we can manage 6th-8th, we should be able to get something good, hopefully Nino.
At 6 thru 8, Nino, Kabanov and possible Gudbranson should be available. All very good choices – but maybe not NHL ready for September.

I think next season is already a loss. There’s nothing really available in FA that could be of any help, so it’ll be the same exact team, again. We might bring up a few AHL guys (though Grachev is flat this season, I think he’s got like 16 goals…) and maybe Sanguinetti (if not next season trade him before his value really plummets). Other than that…it’s like being an Islander fan. There’s no hope, but we’ll root for them anyway.
Does a prospects value plummet (Grachev in this case) if he basically repeats a year at the minors? I’m thinking because it seems like Sanguinetti has been in the minors for a few years as well
by NastyNate82 on Mar 18, 2010 10:06 PM EDT up reply actions
Hopefully MDZ fills out some, and I think next season has to be Dubi’s season-his contract is up and we all feel he’s got more to offer-I look for him to step up. Maybe we’ll get Volchenkov for a few seasons, and hopefully some more size/snarl on D. Forwards..ugh it’s gonna be the same, if not worse, than this season.
11-12 season will hopefully be a ray of hope as hopefully Stepan/This year’s first/Grachev (if not after next season, he won’t really make it big)/Kreider possibly?/McDonagh. Better FA year too so hopefully we clear some cap space for it. 12-13 and 13-14 seasons hopefully deep playoffs, after that, it’s cup or bust.
