Sorry to be another one that brings up Girardi...
The problem I have with posters here is if the Rangers won the last 4 games letting 2 goals or less every game, we'd have a lot of "Told you! get rid of Girardi and the team is 10X better!" But the opposite is happening and now excuses keep falling instead of crediting Girardi for MAYBE being better than a lot of people thought
I think Girardi coming back will help a lot because 1. He's way better than Summers 2. It balances the lineup
Mcdonagh-Girardi
Yandle- MCIlrath
Staal Boyle
looks way better than
Staal-McDonagh
Yandle-Mc
Summers-Boyle
Then when Klein comes back, this D will be back to being a lot better and hopefully will make Lundqvist a lot more comfortable. He hasn't looked too great but can't blame the guy seeing some of these horrible defensive breakdowns. It's a midseason slump. It's gonna be ok. We don't need to trade our future in Kreider, Hayes, Miller, etc. Some people never learn from the past. We've traded enough of our future and trading any of those guys will make the organization pay for years to come
