I don't care about who is out.

This team was pathetic tonight.

 

[Loff]

 

[Baby Punisher]

Terrible.

 

[*Bob Richards*]

4 goals on 19 shots.....

 

[BroadwayBlues]

I think the lack of compete level is due to the players thinking they don't have to work as hard with a coach deemed more "likable" and not a "hard ass" like the previous one.

 

[shon]

This coaching staff suck !!!

 

[Colby]

As it turns out, twenty game stretches of sub-.500 hockey are actually pretty common for playoff teams – of the 96 post-lockout playoff teams, 65 of them have had a twenty game stretch of sub-.500 hockey at some point during the season.

Hopefully the Rangers are getting their sub-.500 streak out of the way right now. Wouldn't be totally surprising given the road trip/quality of the opponents/injuries. Still only 7 games in. Not trying to make excuses but I'm not going to panic either.

 

[Bullseyes]

Pathetic.

 

[ajdj10]

BOYLE star of the game.

 

[Net Front Presence]

blow it up.

 

[TriFF51]

After Thursdays game I couldn't wait for tonight...that was boring as ****.

The Bad: Everything

 

[ImIdaho]

It wasn't that bad. I mean, we didn't lose by 5 or 7 goals.

It's one thing to be under .500, it's another thing to have a goal differential of -18 after 7 games. This team needs to be fixed.

That's how you know it's bad. Get the three Ps out or there because they are all pathetic.

 

[trilobyte]

Richards made some good moves, and moved the puck up the ice very efficiently a number of times, but there was nothing going on once he got there.

Honestly man, you can look for the silver lining or hope this is just a bad stretch of hockey, but let's be real here; this team is ****ing garbage.

The roster sucks, key players are injured, and outside of one game, Henrik looks like he is new to the NHL. This is going to be a long season and if they even sniff a wildcard spot, I'll be shocked.

 

[LeetchisGod]

This team badly needs to trade for a goalscoring winger. That lineup was a joke.

 

[NCRanger]

Lundqvist looked like three day old dog excrement. Not that he was the only one though.

 

[DoTheBlue]

Losing a close game to a big rival isn't the end of the world. Loved the intensity and never say die attitude. Things are looking up.

 

[OverTheCap]

Way to step up with all the injuries, guys!

Another pathetic effort. Flat and uninspired hockey for most of the game. The Ranger should have come out of flying knowing that the Devils were going to be desperate for their first win. And they also should have played with a chip on their shoulder with all the injuries. So far the Rangers are showing that they cannot handle adversity nor are they capable of bringing the intensity against a divisional rival.

 

[Lexus Dog]

Now would be a good time to sign Hank to a cheapo extension. Girardi too.

 

[Raspewtin]

Trade for Thomas Vanek. As long as it's not McD or Stepan I don't care who goes. Just do it Sather. Please.

 

[ltsthinaz]

You guys are closer to the team than I am here in Arizona, so I don't know what the potential of the system is. I also think they would obviously be much better when the injured players are back. But I do know that right now this does not look like anything but a lottery team with zero chance.

It's a shame, because there are a lot of weak teams in the East this year - Sabres, Crapitals, Devils, Panthers, Flyers, just to name a few. Doesn't look like we'll take advantage of it.
