    I have no issue with the Head Coach, who has done remarkably well with what he has. My issue is with the Sather-Era General Management who refuse to acknowledge that Center position exists in the NHL.

    Well, as I documented earlier, There are 34 centers in the NHL with more points than Derek Stepan and 36 Centers in the NHL with more goals than Kevin Hayes. Are you trying to tell me EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM is under contract next year?

    Only way for us to miss the playoffs now would be to lose out and both Bruins and Islanders win out.

    I like our odds.

    They are rotting away, one can only hope the same happens to the Penguins one day soon

    Maybe someone will run Crosby's face into the boards and universal Karma will be restored

    5-3 Ducks in the third

    Rangers had a 3 on 2, Grabner carrying the puck into the Anaheim zone

    other two dumbasses decided to leave on a change so Grabner ends up 1 on 2

    amazing

    that's Vingneault's call

    not that Grabner has hit the net in his last 20 opportunities

    What's with all the no-look behind the back passes in the defensive zone?

    fixed

    Rangers overall flat last night. Hayes a non-factor.

    27-10-1 on the road/ 19-16-3 which to me is 19-19 at home
    does this bother anyone else as much as it does me?

    Nothing will seriously bother me until the playoffs start or if somebody gets injured before then. All I care about is performance when it matters. This is what I've learned from being President Trophy Champions of the Universe

    Interesting trivia tidbit I didn't realize, 5 out of 6 of the Rangers starting D had surgery within a week of losing to the Pens in Round 1 of last year

    Rangers just can't play three periods. It's absurd.

    Running out of gas and/or breaking down in the end did them in, or at least contributed, several times now. Hopefully AV is at least trying to get ready for the push to avoid that yet again.
