A new coach -- this group has already gotten 4 coaches canned (I'm counting Lavvy as, like many of you, I think he will be the sacrificial lamb come end of the season). Do you really think our former coaches haven't tried? What was the result: the same "top" players did what they wanted. Sit the "older core" (a/k/a star players) and play the ones who deserve the ice time? Really -- Dolan won't have it. And therein lies your problem.....this whole "change of culture" thing will last only as long as Dolan lets it. And we know patience is not one of his virtues (if he has any)

I tend to agree that nothing will change and also think Dolan (who I seriously dislike - he's like a little entitled troll) is a root cause of their mediocrity. Although I hope they win I sense theyll lose and think even if they do get good draft picks their crummy player development and coaching and lack of positive culture will still result in poor outcomes. Basically I think the Rangers long term are like the NY Giants or Jets in football. Just a bad team and I feel like a sucker to be watching them. But I'm not going to actively root for them to lose that to me is a reason to just not watch them at all. Its really a sad state and one reason Im looking forward to watching the mets and my ssc napoli serie a soccer teams. The decline of the Rangers in the last year has me thinking at current ticket prices Im not going to any more games. Its just a waste of money at this point.

 

[Whoot Whoot]

I notice the “no quit in NY” has been rolled back

As Dan skates off the ice for the 2nd intermission, he spots Larry Brooks and yells "**** you"

 

[Leonardo87]

I was hung over this morning . Fixing it lol

 

[FUZfan]

I'm done. Can't watch this dumpster fire of a team anymore.

I will watch Sams last broadcast but that's it.

Agreed.

I'm sorry, Sam.

Cheechoo and Marleau all 2 goals each. Owen Nolan empty net goal. Rangers lose 5-1

While Big Joe comes with the dagger at the end and calls us soft.

 

[FoxysExpensiveNYDigs]

Going to watch but only for Sam. Enjoy every broadcast, it'll never be the same after the next 3 weeks.

I don't want them to let the season end without telling us who's taking over.

 

[Tob]

its not even tanking to wish for the team to lose, it's simply what they deserve, to be embarrassed to the point of a house cleaning.

 

[94leetch]

Mind boggling as it is, we have a decent shot to get into the wild card spot. Right now blue jackets play ottawa today and montreal plays panthers tomorrow. In each case good chance they lose. We play the sharks and its a case of we suck but the sharks suck more. Keep hoping this clown show can turn it around but always they f*** it up. Like last night they had a 5 on 3 for a minute and a half and they just skate around passing and shooting from far away. Why dont the coaches tell them to get in there close up and battle to the net. They really are a bunch of wimps. Keep hoping they play in a tougher more aggressive way but they havent yet. Fingers crossed for an improvement in their attitude, strategy and hustle tonight.

Umm, good luck in all your endeavors?

I have a feeling they won't name a replacement until the offseason. Doesn't matter who it is though, they will pale in comparison.

Not yelling but maybe this is Drury's plan. He does like friends with friends teammates

 

[Homelander]

Drury gets a little more time from me. We are NOT going to draft and develop an elite player. We need 3-4 elite players on this roster. Is Drury the guy to attract the best of the best? Higher cap and capspace are there to get elite players.

What are you talking about? What has Drury to warrant more time? He's f***ed up everything he's touched. He's the reason we're in this mess to begin with.

 

[Leonardo87]

If they lose this one , might as well just leave Lavi in San Jose. Even though I don’t think a new coach will help this core.

 

[will1066]

Phone at 79%. We're doomed.

 

[Leonardo87]

I can watch this game. Convention is over at 7pm PT, and the bar in the hotel can put the game on for me…..

The question is , should I? lol

 

[Row I Goon]

(Lavi’s pregame pep talk)

Won’t be watching. Heading out for a hike today. For those who are going to subject themselves to it…
