New York Rangers Find A Way To Win; Beat Winnipeg Jets 2-1

Sorry to say but they were terrible. They got lucky with Cally’s goal and stole two points. The Jets outplayed them from head to toe. Not impressed with the way they have been playing since the first game.

just. wait.

Yes, they were bad, but judging from Richards’ and Torts’ post-game comments, they realize that. Not the most talented team in the world, but there are several guys who haven’t really come alive yet.
Grab the points, and let’s hope they got some of these stinkers out of their system now and start to come together.
I feel they will.

I’m happy we got 2 points, but we can’t ignore how bad we really were.

We need to improve.

Still though, to come out of the trip with 8 out of 14 points with how badly we’re playing is a good sign.

That’s great to hear. There going to be pumped full of energy and excitement for that home opener. Leafs are gonna get destroyed and the crowds going to go nuts.

im sorry but il say it again this team is not going to make the playoffs when we starting playing good teams were going to get killed.boston sabers pitts without sindy or malkin wash. even softer teams out play us. 3 shots in the first with a 1 1/2 power play is not acceptable. second period we had what four shots near the end of the second . we get out played the who;e game lucky goal by cali.i know its early but ithink torts nhas to take the blame and maybe its time for him to go.i dont think were that offensivly bad could it be torts system is holding back players i cxant belive we cant carry the puck overv the blue line that we have to dump itin all the time .yes a point is a point but i would not be to happy cause its not looking good for the rangers this season. i hope they prove me wrong cause il always root for them bvut im noy impressed buy the or there wins so far.and stop blaming the d and injuries its the syle of game they play

yes, it’s been ugly so far, but I HAVE to give the Rangers the benefit of the doubt. To start the season on this ruthless road trip not once playing in front of a home crowd (not counting the moseleum) is extremely difficult.

Yeah, I know they are professional atheltes and are paid millions to deal with the circumstances, but they’re also human—it just takes a tole on them. I’m going to reserve my strongest judgements for after their first homestand this week—if they continue to play unispired, sloppy hockey, THEN I’ll be groping for that panic switch.

Let’s start with the positives. They won, goaltending was great, defense looked good for the most part and our grinders showed how you play on the PP (you move, don’t just stand around like pylons).

To the negatives: The Rangers offense is awful and that’s because of their horrible transition game. Currently, they have no plan on how to get out of their own zone and start an offensive play. No matter what you think of Torts but that’s his job to fix.

This team has not played a decent period other than the 1st period of the Calgary game & the 3rd period of the Canucks game. We can have shots in the teens & expect to win…something’s gotta give. There’s nowhere to go but up me thinks.

I am always happy with a win but there was one section of the third period…I think I threw up a bit in my mouth…it was that disgusting. But the defense played very strong, Biron was sharp, and they learned a great lesson on the importance of a good powerplay, e.g. it can save you, even during the worst of games.

Sometimes, I have to believe that the Rangers alter their game depending on who they play, almost like a baseball player slowing down his swing for a curveball. The Rangers play very hard and look very competitive against teams that most of us would deem in the top third of the league, but look like trash against trash. Its like they think they just have to do the bare minimum to get by. I am sure they will look good against Toronto, as they are doing very well this season.

why gaby was benched

are your kidding saying anything good about the pp the first period i dont think we had any shots on net for 1 1/2 pp 3 shots all period and cali was lucky.and how encouraging could you be that the team half asleep still won how much do you thing our goalies cant do there not superman your gonna waer them out real fast or injury them you thing they gonna pull games out with the top teams in the east were gonna be chum in shark infested waters. like i said i truly hope im wrong
