HFNYR Member: Hey, media outlet, here's a silly MS paint drawing made on a hockey forum. This is proof that two professionals should lose their jobs.

But then you give Torts credit for putting a hard working team on the ice. You can't have it both ways. Torts can't work with talent. He must have perfect attitude, great sized, hard nosed players, or he'll throw a tantrum. There is a cap on teams nowadays, you can't build a perfect team. A big part of the challenge is to make it work with flawed players.

Sure Torts could make it work if he had 7-8 guys like Getzlaf, Nash, Perry, E Staal, Malkin (?), E Kane, Towes and co, but I don't think that is a likely roster to get for a NHL team nowadays.

When did he ever throw a tantrum over not having certain kinds of players?

Solid points. In theory, I think Nash, Step and McD could carry the puck in nicely there. McD doesn't get much PP time for whatever reason. I think he should start getting more minutes there solely because of his ability to carry the puck in. They desperately need to find ways to carry to start the PP. They waste so much precious time trying to get the puck in the zone.

i think the skill required to carry the puck is a little overrated around here. we arent asking them to be malkin out there. any player should be able to carry the puck over the blue line competently. it just seems that every player on the team controls the puck like a hand grenade for some reason.

If you want to put that Pittsburgh game in, go ahead. But anyone that watched that game knows it was a joke. More to the point, it obviously is a great deviation from the norm, and every game since then has shown that offensively, they arent much better. That's why they are still 27th in the league in scoring.

Why wouldnt you count that game?

They're now 5-2-1 since the trades with 3 goals or more in four of the 8 games.

They scored 3 or more in 4 of the previous 14 since the trades.

These facts are inconvenient, as was the scoring yesterday.
 
why cant we just figure out an effective 131 instead of the ol' 2 1 2 with two useless pointmen with shots that 1) doesnt get through 2) goes wide and two players cycling the puck endlessly behind the net in no position to a) pass b) center c) shoot. and a guy posted 10 feet above the crease being covered by 3 others that will rush and eliminate immediately?

That would involve change which is something that stubborn people don't like.
 
The point shots on the PP would be better if they knew how to make some space. Richie has a good shot from the point and actually has a pretty good one timer. He just hasn't had the space to do anything but maybe a wrister, which is like the equivalent of throwing a marble at the Great Wall Of China

Yep, because the torts haters and their little MS paint drawings have been debunked by reality.

Jam, grind, jam, jam, dump and chase, grind all the way to 18 goals in three games.:laugh:

So, let me get this straight? They have good games against teams that are not playoff teams and all is forgiven? Two of the games the opposing team got godawful goaltending.

The Rangers still have systemic problems. They still have a tendency to force plays along the wall on the breakouts which will absolutely be exposed during the playoffs. They still defer the puck to the opposing team WAY too much.

I am happy that they are playing well. At the very least its made it somewhat less stressful to close the season.

But, Torts isn't some genius and the Rangers(although playing better)are more than likely not going deep. Unless of course, Torts proves me wrong and makes some significant adjustments to our system.

Now is not the time for backslaps and "I told you so's." Lets see what the Rangers do in the playoffs(knock on wood)before we pass judgement.

Funny how the talk has changed from missing the playoffs to not going deep into them...

It never changed. I personally don't care if the Rangers make the playoffs; only to get bounced in the first round. That could very easily happen if they face either Montreal or Pitt.

I haven't changed my mind about Torts. But there is a good chance that some of you that have been flip flopping will yet again call for his head in two weeks.
