What do you honestly think of this team? Exclude your statement about Nash blowing our true chance at the Cup and the jokes about AV kinda guys now wanting to be Torts guys.

Do you like how the team has been under AV as coach? What do you want to happen? I don’t think I’ve ever seen your honest viewpoint without the good jokes thrown in here and there

It’s a rebuild.

Can you rephrase this loaded question before I answer this ?

Excited to see Zucc with Letteri. Vinni can be a player for us going forward I think. Playing eith a playmaker like Zucc will be fun to watch

For some reason I thought we were already into the all star break. Huh. Shows how unengaged I am this year.

I think it'd be 2.7% if it was today. lol I just did a sim and the Rangers won on the first try.
The NHL tweaked the draft too much, bad teams get shafted under this system.

A prophecy, a sign :laugh:

Like other guys have said, I don't like the idea of missing the Play-Offs, and the East is really fairly open this year, but all things considered, and in out current situation, I'm starting to get behind getting a real top pick at the draft.

I look forward to the Post Season every year, but with CK out and AV's system seemingly having us now fall apart at the seams, well, let's see how it goes up till the end of February.

I'd feel horrible for Hank, but another top young piece may be just what the doctor ordered.

They better win today. Poor day, had to take off of work because of concussion like symptoms and a hurt neck because some lady rear ended the ever loving **** out of my car at 40+mph last night.

Win or fire AV

I wish you a speedy recovery and get that neck checked out if you haven't already.

In the scope of this season (hell, and last year too) how would you assess AV as a coach regarding tactics, player deployment/development, and in-game management? Do you think he should be fired? I ask because you always make the jokes re: Hire Renney, Torts kinda guys, etc., but don’t think I’ve seem you answer with your honest hockey opinion.

I think we agree that he’s given a roster in transition that’s still a large work in progress, but do you want to keep watching this on-ice product with him as coach? I thought he was fine when we were a true run n’ gun team, but we’ve lost offensive firepower and the defense has only gotten worse. This was fine when the offense could compensate for the poor defense, but this isn’t the case any longer.

I mean I've answered specific questions about this too.

The Hire Renney, Tort's Kinda Guys, AV's System isn't just snark.

Each time there was a mass of frustrated internet dwellers who were CONVINCED that the coaching change would bring X result because they somehow from their shitty little TVs had ascertained the Y system of that coach.

First, I'm going to say this flat out. A small fraction of the posters on these boards even played competive hockey[ i.e talking at least travel Pee-Wee up] or even see games live anymore [not their fault because of the price and many new york relocators], yet they know all these things about AV because of a camera pan or who his favorites are.

In fact, based on social customs these days and the very obvious misunderstanding of the behavioral inside dynamics of team many posters express, I would go as far to say they have not played in any long term organized league in any team sport.

Furthermore, if people can't see the glaring inadequacies in this roster, they can't see how little a coaching change will do so I don't want to write a f***ing essay and quite frankly FIRE RENNEY sums up the lack of general understanding fantastically.

So then why make the change?

Just cause...

No! Sorry

Yeah I scheduled an appointment tomorrow afternoon after work, rough day today. Woke up a little dazed, sore neck and back a little but I'm still chugging along.

Thanks all for well wishes. :)

I am glad you are well.

Pls do not get owned by bad drivers. We have a horrible hockey team to watch.

Hmm, interesting. At least I get your POV now, although I disagree. The change from Torts to AV, as well as the ensuing roster changes, pushed us farther than Torts did, just like Torts did post-Renney. Seems like that coaching/roster cycle of like has completed it’s course with AV.

Guess at the end of the day, we’re all masochistic bastards who keep coming back to cheer on our Blueshirts. LGR.

Well, Buch has his shot now. A nice game from him would be great to see, especially since we just got knocked off the WC

Seems like he only gets his shot when the team is playing like shit. Kind of hard to shine in those circumstances.
