[PlamsUnlimited]

Anyone think Lindy Ruff is stand there thinking to himself WTF AV.

This is partly Lindy's beef too

 

[trilobyte]

Torts probably ripped into them good in the intermission. Credit to the BJs for coming out but Rangers have no excuse for not coming up with an answer by now at the halfway mark.

 

[Richard Banger]

How many more games do we need to get outplayed and embarrassed for this coach to be fired?

 

[Nickmo82]

Watching this team is just a massive waste of time now. It's frustrating and kinda boring. They have no time in the offensive zone. They don't make plays. They don't defend well. The coach is beyond unlikeable. They get out-played every single game, it seems.

 

[AlternateSideParking]

We dont have torts anymore and shatt never played under torts...

All our best two way guys played under torts.. If there was anything he taught it was defense and effort

That's my point.

And this is the third season now that this is going on.

 

[Vinny DeAngelo]

This is not a playoff team

 

[Casper The Soy Ghost]

If you had to choose, AV or Torts?

100%!!

 

[Nickmo82]

Vesey-DD-Miller is toothless.

 

[Machinehead]

The sweet release of death.

But if I survive, Torts.

 

[Megustaelhockey]

If you had to choose, AV or Torts?

AV. All day, every day.

 

[trilobyte]

All alone in front. Yikes

 

[Casper The Soy Ghost]

This is brutal. It's like an NHL team playing vs 15 year olds..

 

[Vinny DeAngelo]

If you had to choose, AV or Torts?

Torts..

Id rather go out screaming than chewing gum

 

[LORDE]

Looks like we may actually find out

 

[Nickmo82]

WTF is Staal doing? How is he there and Shattenkirk the last man back?

 

[JT Kreider]

If you had to choose, AV or Torts?

Torts all day everyday. That 2012 team at least played their dicks off every single night. Then Sather had to go blow it all up for the shiny new toy in typical NY fashion

Your not going to win many games scoring 1 goal. Defense is afraid to make a mistake and cost them the game the problem is they’re making multiple mistakes a game trying to either catch up or trying to score.

 

[Siddi]

It is way to early for panic but GOD DAMN its frustrating to watch

 

[Abooch68]

1 shot on goal this period?

 

[ncmike]

Nope, sorry, this team's issue is coaching.

This coach hasn't gotten this team ready to play any game yet this season. It's Game 5. The Rangers have started like **** all 5 games. That's a coaching problem.

AVs problem is he keeps trying to fit a square peg in a round hole. I.E. this team can't play man defense but he insists on using this strategy.
A good coach coaches to his players strengths. He doesn't try to make them something they are not.

 

[Ratelleitlikeitis]

I'm not saying we're the Pens but their coaching change November 2015 seemed to have an effect!

 

[trilobyte]

They no longer have that cycle they used to be able to rely on when it was time to put the work boots on.

 

[Nickmo82]

At this stage I'd be shocked if they get a decent scoring chance in the remainder of the game, let alone a goal.

Also, let's throw out the 4th line with a deficit and 5 minutes to go. Why the hell not?
