Disgrace

Are they kidding me??? Can someone please explain to me what is gong on with this team?
We sit there night after night watching the same damn game, but somehow they managed to take it to an even lower level against the Islanders. Many will argue the Islanders play hard against the Rangers because of the rivalry-blah, blah, blah. It is true to some degree, but they are just plain awful this season and they made the Rangers look like fools. I know I complain about the defense all the time, but they are a total disgrace. I would love to see Staal and Girardi develop on this team because I think they are worth the effort. However, without good veteran defenseman to learn from, how do they stand a chance? Let's be honest, trades have got to be made and no NHL team wants to pay Redden or Rozsival their offensive salaries and we will loose promising youth yet again.

Prucha was the only spark of the game. It was nice to see him out there hustling. He sits there night after night wondering when he may get the opportunity to play the game. Are the forwards so unstoppable that Renney does not want to kill the good karma?? Drury and Gomez have done nothing.. nothing at all! Gomez has scored 7 goals in 34 games and Drury 10 in 39 games. Why not Prucha? Right now he is on pace to pass them both with his stellar 2 goals in 12 games. I certainly do not think he is the answer to the problems, but he can't make it much worse.

Some of my many suggestions for this team are to take the C away from Drury. Maybe it is just too much pressure for him. Say goodbye to Renney and do not replace him with one of the assistant coaches. We need a total overhaul. And finally, try to convince our overpaid defenseman that hitting is Good!

Now my small gripe with the Ranger faithful. It is totally embarrassing to hear a "last place" chant while the Islanders are scoring their forth goal. The Islanders should not have been able to score one never mind four. When the Rangers are having a hard time with the last place team, we should just be quiet and humble.

I will stop now because it is New Year's Eve and I need to power nap. Getting old sucks!

HAPPY NEW YEAR TO YOU ALL!!!! I will see you next week.
