Absolutely, we have been scoring, contributions coming from all over. However the othe team ALWAYS scores more goals than we do, no matter what. And that's the crux of the matter right there.

Are there really?
I like the way our offense is playing.
Defense and goaltending is the problem recently. At least we can say two regular defenseman have been out injured. Maybe the defense gets better when they get back healthy? Hank, I find it really hard to believe the best goalie in the world for many years is now an AHL goaltender, all of a sudden, but he's not playing well recently. I think he'll turn it around soon.
That's why I said it would be a pipe dream. I don't want another aging overpaid player.

Agreed. Trading Nash while his value was highest would have net a Kings ransom, especially if they could forecast the Canadian dollar dropping (newsflash, everyone could)... THey should have held off on extending Staal last season to see what the options were before July 1st of this year...
These guys have a lot more information than we do.. this is inexcusable...
Woof, that was just horrendous, especially in our own zone. Stepan needs to get his timing back, he whiffed some A grade chances. I kind of feel sorry for Summers, it is not his fault that the Rangers are cap space strapped and he's not NHL quality.
Some (minor) positives:
- miller's goal
- etem looked better
- glass looked ok
- McI continues to impress
- the Pepperidge farm pic in the GDT

Yet Skjei was the much heralded hero for many. Funny how that's not the case in hindsight.

Something is very off with this team. Once some sort of defensive breakdown results in a goal, the wheels fall off and they dig themselves in an even deeper hole. It's almost like they know it's coming and they can't do anything to stop it.
AV and the coaching staff can pore over tapes and shuffle the lines all they want, but the players obviously aren't responding to it. It's weird that there haven't been any closed door meetings, bag skates, or GM visits to the locker room, these are the things you typically see when a team has struggled like this for so long. More involvement may be needed from the coaching staff and the front office to figure out how to get this team to stop imploding.
Hayes is having a Del Zotto-esque sophomore season, he thinks he's hot **** after a good rookie year and is going through the motions. Del Zotto got sent down during his sophomore year and so should Hayes if this keeps up, but I doubt AV will resort to such a drastic measure.

I just don't want to even see Glass mentioned. That's literally the last thing wrong with the team right now and it's the go-to of so many on here.

Can someone ask AV why Chris Summers is killing penalties when you have 5 other NHL defensemen to pick from?

That's what I'm getting at............does this player you want to trade Nash for actually exist?
Or the entire season lol. We literally have 3 defenseman battling out for worst defenseman in the league lol.
The only defenseman thats gone that is on the Rangers that could help this defense is Klein, and he certainly isn't a Bobby Orr.

Welp,wrong about the whole not embarrassing themselves thing.
Ducks game is going to be more of the same garbage on fire routine we expect from this pack of dopes.

I'm clearly talking about before he played the games. All we heard prior to him being called up was how he'd instantly replace Girardi or Staal. Instantly improve the team tenfold. It is pretty funny looking back on that crap now.
Skjei will be good. But he certainly isn't replacing Girardi right now.
