Blue Shirts United

Remember when

feeds@kickapps.com (LIRangerfan) — Fri, 19 Mar 2010 10:10:15 PST

Some,( most, a few, me,) said if Gaby stays healthy and gives us 40 we're gonna be tough to beat and should make a run. Then it was Gaby needs someone else to carry the load, so enter Ollie. If we tighten up or play a more conservative D style was a nice try. How about the if Redden and Rosi would just not suck, but be OK, (not sure that one ever happened) blah blah blah blah. This team and organization is currently a joke. The icing on this years season was Chris Drury, (my captain my captain.... what another joke, does anyone on this team have any pride??) sorry got distracted, the icing is Dreary saying this team lacks maturity. Holy...., really, maturity, they lack it?? So its not missing the net, or flutter wrist shots from the point, or bad inopportune line changes, or goalies giving up ridiculous goals from impossible angles, or a defense of 3rd line players, or selfish play by forwards, or the non selfish forwards passing up shots. Really, Chris, its maturity, wow...

A list of positives gleaned from this agonizing season

NHL.COM: Gabby's lucky shot

feeds@kickapps.com (Off Side) — Fri, 19 Mar 2010 08:44:47 PST

So I went to read some NHL.COM articles this morning and stumbled on this: Gabby's lucky shot.
Why does the NHL has to be so degrading?? that was a great shot last night!!! his goal was awesome and well aimed, but the NHL brushes it off as a "lucky shot" ???

I guarantee you if it was Malkin or Crosby that scored like that it would have read: Amazing accurate, well placed killer goal by Malkin/Crosby!!

I am really thinking about hanging up the hockey skates and not look back, I am so sick and tired of the NHL.
I spoke to an older gentleman in the diner yesterday, where I was having some quick bites with my son, and he was an avid Rangers fan since the 60's, he complained about Bettman and the NHL more than I do, the man was on point with every assessment he made...it only made me resent Bettman and cronies even more.

Blah!

Next year?

feeds@kickapps.com (charlie77) — Fri, 19 Mar 2010 08:38:25 PST

Will torts still be at the helm or are people like me and fed up with his antics?

Playoffs'

feeds@kickapps.com (rangers1960) — Fri, 19 Mar 2010 07:55:52 PST

We are all concerned about the ranges making the playoff's, WHY? They won't make it past the first round and do not have a chance of ever winning th the CUP. Anyone disagree. I didn't think so. There fore, tank for the season and hopefullly get a good draft pick. Put AULD for the rest of these season and bring up potential AHLer's for rest of season. At least on D. Do not play R&R
If game against ST L. did not convince anybody that those two bums should not be playing, then your just plain blind.

Roszival...

feeds@kickapps.com (Dr Leetch) — Fri, 19 Mar 2010 01:07:41 PST

So I was at the game tonight, and I have to say that Roszival played perhaps the worst game I have ever seen him play, and that's saying a lot. His first period was soo atrocious that it offended Redden, who immediately came out and had a terrible second so as not to be shown up. It was so bad that he deserved to be booed after he scored, as utterly ridiculous as that sounds. Although Reds did provide perhaps the best moment of the night when he totally wiffed on a check and slammed himself into the boards.

I then come home to find out that Roszival had the most time on ice of the entire team!!! Completely baffling!!! I was shocked when Torts REWARDED them midway through the second with a power play shift together. I lost a lot of faith in Torts tonight.

I really feel bad for Gabby

feeds@kickapps.com (janosik) — Fri, 19 Mar 2010 00:51:18 PST

Gabby 3 points tonight again and this team still manage to lose.

coaching

feeds@kickapps.com (AnthonyR) — Thu, 18 Mar 2010 22:58:39 PST

I'm thinking their tanking the season because they don't like the coach. I really hope that is why, this team can't be this bad. They give out 2 points to anyone who comes to the garden. sam rosen and joe micheletti said st louis averages 35 shots a game since they changed coaches. they only had 16 shots tonight. They knew they didn't have to work hard to get a win.

You can't spell Rangers...

feeds@kickapps.com (ryannegfi1) — Thu, 18 Mar 2010 21:48:49 PST

without ANGER...

Really disappointed with the game tonight... Had a great time at MSG as always, got my jersey signed by Graves and Fotiu. 1st period was awesome, but inexplicable defensive lapses, soft goals, and the incredibly inept PP did us in. At the end of the 5 on 3 I couldn't take it and screamed "Do you guys practice this?" it was pathetic. no movement away from the puck, telegraphed soft passes, no one going to the net = no shots, no goal. started the fire sather chant from the back of section 302- glad to hear the 400's pick up up and it echoed around the arena for a minute.

the playoffs are a lost cause. i'd rather see Potter, Sanguenetti, even Heikkanen play instead of Roszival and Redden (even though Redden actually hit the net and scored tonight)...

lunqvist vs delzotto

feeds@kickapps.com (CRASHtheBOARDS) — Thu, 18 Mar 2010 21:09:56 PST

THE KING let his little defender know that he was not that happy about his play in the d zone. those teaching skills
are used up by now thats why the king is tired of #4. with two handfulls of games remaining, Hank is ready to go back to the
Cory Potter era of 2010 - 4-0 AS A RANGER FAN how come COREY LOCKE AND BOBBY SANGUINETTI are still
in the AHL

Guys it's plain and simple from here

feeds@kickapps.com (SatherSucks) — Thu, 18 Mar 2010 21:05:27 PST

Guys it's plain and simple from here

If we lose to either Boston OR THE ISLANDERS int he next 2 games...I am sorry to say maybe next year...
im genuinely really upset
like no jokes and no fun anymore I am devastated i was in class all day hoping for my team to win and we can't do this...

i just don't know what to do or say anymore i tried everything i tried delusional speeches but nothing works...im just devastated

Sunday is it

feeds@kickapps.com (Gabs10) — Thu, 18 Mar 2010 20:59:15 PST

I love this team like all of you no matter what and i wont ever quit or turn my back on them but if we do not beat boston on sunday then there playoff chances are done...had a great chance to pull within a point with the pens beating boston...tim thomas did not play so he will be rested eventhough he has not been good of late...that probably means we get shutout lol...but seriously we NEED that game on sunday or they are pretty much done

What Changed about Rangers???

feeds@kickapps.com (explorer5148) — Thu, 18 Mar 2010 20:45:11 PST

So...last season, we ended the regular season with about 94 points.
Now this year, we are at 71 points.
Where there any changes that happened in between the two seasons that changed the Rangers this much?? or is all this just pure back luck?
By changes, i'm kinda looking for players that left and came.
I know Jagr and Shanahan left, but i don't think it would affect the way this team plays by THIS much.

I can see next season

feeds@kickapps.com (TheOldGarden) — Thu, 18 Mar 2010 20:44:27 PST

Messier president and gm/ Kevin Lowe and other Oiler pals coaching/ team finishes 14th in the east conf.

3D TV?? I'm getting old!

feeds@kickapps.com (TheOldGarden) — Thu, 18 Mar 2010 19:32:51 PST

I won't tell my age but I was at the FIRST game ever broadcast in Color in North America: It was a Sat. afternoon game at the old MSG in early 1966 vs Chicago that was taped and shown on WOR-TV 9 sat eve. I remember they had to put a blue tint in the ice because the cameras of that era could not pick up any of the markings on the ice. Now they have 3D! I don't want to see this team in 3D. It's bad enough to watch them as is.

Woah! Drury isn't mute!

feeds@kickapps.com (offthepost) — Thu, 18 Mar 2010 18:03:59 PST

I was wondering about that. Wish he could've been vocal like that earlier in the year. "Whatever the hell we have left." Haha. I'd respect him more as a leader if he started talking more and being assertive like he was there.

Sorry for the pessimism Friends!!

feeds@kickapps.com (gmiller60) — Thu, 18 Mar 2010 14:05:46 PST

I am sorry but how many more years like this can one endure!!!??? I have had it with the Status Quo!! I want the Rangers to win as much as the next guy but lets be forreal here. This team is not going anywhere and if they don't make some serious changes they will be the same next year!! I say build through the draft and then add the pieces you are missing through free agency and trades. This is not what they have been doing and it shows!!
