Still, its six goals. You can blame the defense if its three or four but you aren't going to win many hockey games when your goalie lets in six in less than two periods. I would only make a trade for a good 7th defenseman if the Rangers plan to stay with the top three pairs for the rest of the season on defense. If they plan on moving Staal, then picking up a LHD would be a good idea, but I think once Boyle's back, we will only be missing a good 7th defenseman.

Islander games are the ones where you can hear the P.A. announcer's echo. This in an arena….arena….arena…
Pat Leonard@PLeonardNYDN · 7m 7 minutes ago Miller, Fast and Hunwick come out, Malone, Zuccarello and Kostka go in. Miller and Fast deserve to sit....Hunwick is small and gets pushed around

Yeah. Anyway, how do you feel about tonights game? Islanders are a good team right now. If we play like pussies against them they might kick the shit out of us.
They play like its the 7th game of the finals every time we play them, division games are always tough, hope fully we prevail, definitely Hank will be better than the Leaf game
the islanders can score goals it seems, I really hope the rangers are not as offensively challenged this year as they have been for a while now. sick of that shit, help henrik out ya know. gotta have firepower no matter what.
yep. We need to come out hitting, skating, and moving the puck. Too many players are not playing NYR hockey
And to think i was gonna try to go to one of these home games. Thank god i didn't waste the money. Fuckin team looks like cow shit and the defense is a joke. MSL sucks dick at center and if AV doesn't fix it, he is a fuckin idiot. Come on now
6-2. Embarassing. Still early but it might be time to bring in another Dman who can play on the 2nd pair. This isn't working
Kostka makes me long for the days of Stu Bickel. It's amazing how one awful player can completely destroy a game the team was dominating. Oh well. AV's teams are always awful to start the season and the injuries don't make things any prettier.
