and STOP with all the F'in turnovers!!! Puck possession and shoot everything ON net... Rebounds, deflections off skates/bodies.... Get the biscuit on/in the basket!!
broadcast the Singing of the National Anthem??? It just dawned on me as I'm listening to ESPN Radio call but have game on TV. Radio played the anthem but the broadcast never shows it?? They always go to a commercial break. (I dunno maybe unless it's John Amirante doing it...) But thinking back last bunch of games MSG has not broadcast the NA...? Weird No?
FRACK.... Figures Its Staal with a yawning open net!!!
Because of the stupid bye week every team has to have - I guess it was part of the CBA. I don't have a problem with OP playing - it was either today or tomorrow in Pittsburgh and hank always struggles against this team for some reason anyway.
Pav is not on his game today.... he normally stops both those shots ESP the last one!! At least based on his performace in his last few starts. Fuckin-A Pav!!! Come on! LGR!!!!
Especially since we'll still sit at WC1. But if this 6 games in 9 days goes as bad as I think it will... pressure will start to mount again.
At the end of the day without Kreider, I don't think this team is talented ... not many coaches would get this deep team into the playoffs. It may be for the best that we get some assets in return for guys like Nash, etc. and another year picking in the top 10-12 of the draft.

Maybe so, but could they just play Zib with Buch again and McD with Shattenkirk for an extended period of time and see how it goes? There more talent than these results. The coach is lost
We own this team lately. The reason Hank did not play is he had 1 win in his last 10 against them. Barzal is unbelievable and he will only get better. Islanders need a shut down D-Man and they could go on a run. Fun watching the 2nd line own this game tonight.
Wonders with this D. It is so tough to watch this team give up so many quality chances each and every game. It might be time for Gorton to actually do something.
after the horrific start, at least they are in the race... am I concerned they may not have enough to win the Cup? Fuck me, they've only won it once in my lifetime and I'm 65 and have faithfully watched them my entire life, so I'm not too worried ... lol
As for being "buyers" or "sellers", I really hate the trades they've made over the past 20 years... trades made during the season in an effort to win the cup have done nothing but hurt the longer term effort to build a contending team... it's so fucking short sighted and idiotic imo... so fuck that shit... on the other hand, if there are players who should be dumped, then dump them
Alas, I'm a bit worried I may not be singing the same happy tune after the grueling schedule the next two weeks - they don't get more than 1 day off between games:
@Penguins Sun 1/14
Flyers Tue 1/16
Sabres Thu 1/18
@Avalanche Sat 1/20
@Kings Sun 1/21
@Ducks Tue 1/23
@Sharks Thu 1/25
LGR!
And why are the Rangers playing back to back after having a week off? Scheduling is ridiculous.

We really need these points today.

Rangers Radio ESPN... - ( New Window )
I'll give that a shot. Thanks.
He's on pace for 68 games this year and they're playing basement dwellers. Fine with the backup playing.
Playing down to competition.
And Henrik ends up playing anyways.
Great decision to start Pavelic AV.
Asshole.

Barzal 5 pts....
Fellas, we just got our dicks spanked & buried in the dirt!
Embarrassing effort for sure!
The Rangers might as well not even waste their time suiting up against this team because they pretty much lose every fucking time.
When was the last time we won? The opener last year?
Pretty sure we've lost 9 of the last 10.
Complete domination. Fucking embarrassing.
Didn't happen against the eagles. So.. there's that.
I enjoyed 12th mans post. You'd think the isles weren't in last and hadn't been brutal the past 6 weeks.
The Rangers suck... the islanders do too. Both are playing out the string in all probability.
