    But even last year, they were suffocating. They were blocking shots from point blank. Idk what happened that they started collapsing so much.

    I don't get it. Then, at the last second they sprint to the points.

    Probably not until the middle of next year. No point in rushing him just so Torts can play him 5-10 minutes a game. He needs AHL seasoning more than Kreider and Miller do, and they could use plenty.

    Sorry guys. I haven't been watching Rangers games lately and they've been doing well. I'm actually watching tonight so that's probably why they are awful.

    It blew my mind when Torts pulled Stepan from the PK in favor of Brad Richards. What the hell was he thinking?

    still a game in hand and against worst team in the league Florida next, but yes we are crap and deserve where we are right now.

    Lets go and wake up Nash, Cally, Richards!!

    Clearly no one likes Torts

    And its official....Richards does not look like the end of the season will save a total crap performance.

    Whats pissing me off the most about him is the missing the net shit. How can anyone miss the net this much?

    And instead of naming the Boyles and Pyatts etc, lets just say the Rangers have 2 lines and 6 Pyatts.

    Out of the players in double figures in points...top 9 (10th player would be Gabby) the top 5 are fowards and then 6-9 are defenseman. Staal is 9th.

    Then the Pyatts start with 6 points.

    Here is something everyone knows but really study this stat..this is an amazing stat considering he was on the ice everytime I looked up. BOYLE HAS 2 GOALS AND 3 ASSISTS. Everyone, including the National guys calling the game tonight, were saying this was a Boyle type game with him grinding in the corners.

    Huh? HUH? Taped game and just finished watching it. HUH??? 3 assists?

    I really believe when Gabby was put on a line with him that made him burst and if I were Richards right now...and Richards has sucked...when you are put on a line with Boyle that has to be the kiss of death watching him spend 10 minutes a game kicking the puck from his left foot to his right foot behind the net..every night.

    And the kid is a really nice person....feel bad...but lets face it...he is a horrible hockey player. Very sorry to say.

    Another gutty effort...geez...one step forward, two steps back...poor Asham who actually has a little skill, he gets to play with 2 of the most offensively challenged players I've ever seen...hopefully Dorsett can help him out...

    Like watching Jet games now, which team will show up, let's play to the other teams level...I honestly shut it off at 3-1...if we get in and play the Penguins, we will lose in 5

    Idk, they are clinging to life in the 8th spot. They got 1 game in hand. If they make the playoffs, it won't be on there own accord. It will be because Winnapeg fucked up.

    The pens would sweep them.

    Once again back to the place where they can only win if Hank steals the game......so friggin inconsistent. I'd say they're done (as I've said a few times already....only to be proven wrong by a big in here and there)..........only hope is that they have Fla next as the game in hand....and that's no gimme with the Rangers these days.

    But yes I agree, at this point if they do make it in, Pitt either in sweep or 5. The only teams they have a chance against I think are Montreal who all of a suddden are sucking wind or Boston who we seem to match up with well for some reason. not that it's possible anymore, but don;t want that 6th anyway at this point, Washington is on fire.
