I get what you're saying and to be honest I'm probably more prone to criticize a goalie based on my own abilities. There's times I'll blame Hank for stuff that seemingly goes unreported on here.
But to say anything about him last night or his last stretch is just really trying hard to look for a scapegoat instead of looking at the bigger picture.
SnowBlind has a nasty habit of going after the Rangers higher profile figures. Tortorella last season, Lundqvist this season.
One day, it is my hope he will get to examining the approximately half of the roster that is inadequate for an upper-echelon team, and the guy that constructs it year after year.
My comment was a meant as a societal observation, nothing to do with NYR, per se.
I am happy they played well (as opposed to playing poorly), but we need wins. Make no mistake, I don't believe in moral victories.

Can't seem to find an updated injury thread here so I'll just use this...
Yahoo has taken Nash off the IR on my fantasy team yet I haven't even heard that he's been skating recently. Is Nash actually ready to go tomorrow night?
Good news for me... and you guys if he is.

75% of the roster is without a contract next season. Thats just fine with me, because it gives the team an opportunity to go in a new direction personnel-wise.
Whats not fine with me, and is the yearly death-knell to this team is that 70 year old geriatric will likely be the one building the roster again.
Due to the fact that you have never played goalie on the ice, you have no clue what its like to stop that kind of shot.
A player cutting in like that naturally opens up your five-hole while you're simultaneously butterfly sliding to match his positioning. If you don't play it 100% perfect you're either going to get lucky, or you're going to get beat.
Goalies get scored on, these are NHL players. Give some credit where credit is due. Also, refrain from talking about goaltending when you don't have any clue about it.

people ***** and whine about a lack of finishers.
what we need to do is grab those superstar snipers Paille and Thornton.
Maybe, just maybe, this team is just in a scoring rut.

Based and Rangerspilled.
That'd be a plausible excuse if I locked myself into a vacuum and ignored a Rangers team that has not been able to consistently score goals for hundreds upon hundreds of games now.

didnt we score like 4 goals for like 6 games in a row or something right before this rut?
what does "consistently score goals" mean exactly?
we've been an average offensive team for the past decade...average teams have some games where they score, some games where they don't.
there arent any teams out there that are going to score 3 goals a game every single game.

wait, so what are you complaining about? im not even sure what your argument here is.
you just acknowledged that this team is an average goal scoring team, and you should agree that they are currently in a rut....
so what are you complaining about?

My post you just quoted was in jest.
But since you're asking, I'd like a team that doesn't score 4+ goals for a few games in a row (against mostly poor competition outside of Pitt), and then go through another 4 games stretch scoring 4 goals total. I'd also like a team thats not 27th in the league in scoring after 21 games.

for me, i'll take the team thats generating chances consistently.
goals come and go, but if youre generating chances, the shooting percentage will eventually return to the mean, and you'll put up good offensive numbers.
ive seen a lot more good than bad over the past few weeks from this team.
