Post-Game Talk: Islanders at Rangers 12/20/2013

[NCRanger]

It might be time to fire AV.

Then sit the all-world greatest goaltender ever down for about 10 games. Not saying he lost the game tonight, but he didn't do anything to help win it.

 

[McD27]

We need some jam

 

[Raspewtin]

A 1-6-2 homestand is enough to fire a GM anywhere else in the league except New York, and Edmonton.

 

[KingP]

we need torts

 

[Ail]

yokopuv, pls

 

[17futurecap]

Let's be reality,Cigarface will throw that first away on some limp noodle UFA rental at the deadline.

Who will this year's Ryane Clowe be?

I can't believe Prospal isn't a Ranger yet.

 

[Machinehead]

"Ultimately it's got to be my call, but I have a tremendous amount of respect for Glen and still feel very lucky to have him," Dolan told the Post. "He has a wealth of knowledge and experience, and I don't know if there's anyone else in the NHL that's better than him, but he's got to be close to the top. His understanding of the game, his understanding of what makes a great player, and also he's pulled off some trades I looked at him and said, 'How did you do that?' As long as he'd like to stay, I'd like to have him."

As long as he'd like to stay, I'd like to have him."

And that, folks, sums it up.

 

[BB58]

Bring back the 6 goalie system

to skew Hank's stat to make it look better than it really is?

 

[2Leetch_94]

Can the Rangers just forfeit the next 5 games and they can send a message to everyone?

 

[Osminator]

we need torts

Give me a Sutter... any one of them.

 

[Megustaelhockey]

Hockey is not fun right now.

 

[Brief Candle]

Yes please. They can have half of these lowlifes.

 

[AlternateSideParking]

You know what they say -- what you are around Thanksgiving is usually what you'll be come April.

They're 16-20. Five more games until they reach the halfway point.

Kreider is the only Ranger through 36 games who has a positive +/-.

 

[NikC]

lundqvist is going to go down as the contract that buries this team for a long time. Given keys to the city and he's done nothing. he's mentally weak

aside from this swedish fraud the rest of this team can be flushed down the toilet. they suck from the boardroom to the bench.

corporate clowns and money men. celebrate your new garden. ******.

 

[Bleed Ranger Blue]

Two? I'd prefer to let him sit the next 5 as a message.

Oh, wait. It'd be a meaningless message since he has a lifetime contract at eight point ****ing five million dollars.

Agreed. Although, also, it wont send a message because the team just stinks and Talbot wont help

 

[BB58]

It might be time to fire AV.

Then sit the all-world greatest goaltender ever down for about 10 games. Not saying he lost the game tonight, but he didn't do anything to help win it.

It has nothing to do with AV. Point your finger at our piss poor superstar players on this team.

 

[bmoak]

The best thing for this franchise is to dump the veterans and play guys like kristo, lindberg, mcilrath, and fast for the next two seasons. Get them experience and if we're really fortunate stumble into a couple of franchise forwards in the draft.

Except those guys all suck, too. Hartford's playing even worse than the Rangers. The cupboard is bare, and the fruit of Gordie Clark's drafts has been practically nothing.

 

[Claxton]

[BlueshirtBlitz]

Hank has the track record to make me think this season is an aberration. If he has a subpar next year then i'll start complaining about that contract. 30~ games of below average-to-average goaltending after years of dominance sn't enough to make me sour on Hank.

That being said, Rick Nash needs to go. I hope everybody crying about Lundqvist has already given up hope on Nash, because if not all the tears are misplaced.

 

[Idlerlee]

This team needs a strong leader behind the bench. I'd be seriously happy if Torts magically appeared next game

 

[Bleed Ranger Blue]

Anyone miss Torts yet?

Bwahahahahah

 

[Riverdale]

Except those guys all suck, too. Hartford's playing even worse than the Rangers. The cupboard is bare, and the fruit of Gordie Clark's drafts has been practically nothing.

Not easy to get superstar players with middle of the road draft picks.

Drafting could be better? sure. But this team needs some top 5 picks, and SOON.

Some of us knew before, it would be a HUGE mistake to give him that contract.

 

[Boruto]

THe defense needs to get better. THe system needs to get better. The defense is all over the place. Every single player.

 

[RangersHank*]

Blaming Hank? Lol
