Yeah Hank got beat def on one..the backhand was soft. Hags...I mean the Rangers have a problem against a team like the Devils. When teams take speed away, the Rangers are going to struggle unless they get the ability to play differently against these types of teams. And another thing thats getting dangerous is the giving the puck away in the defensive zone. I wanted Torts out but if he was still here, the doghouse would be full and they would need to rent another 3 or 4. The giveaways are out of control...even in the neutral zone. This new found freedom comes with a price. I mean Richards has been great this year but again, he gave the puck away several times tonight. One time he gave it away and went straight for the bench for a change which led to a 2 on 1. I think the way they played tonight...against a team with any kind of offense..it would have been much more ugly than it was. They really need to start cleaning this stuff up. I know they were on a great streak..but against Florida and again tonight...very very sloppy with the puck.
Hank had an off night, we definitely could have won, Girardi and McD screwed up that last goal, too bad it wasn't 2 1/2 minutes later, we would have at least gotten a point...
Dom Moore back next game, mashinter playing 3 minutes a game is stupid, should have brought up Kristo
it's a long season, and it's probably going to be continued with ups and downs and not much consistency. there's something very lacking to me about the rangers. and if hank is not sharp, forget it. they have won many games as of late, but the wins have come against many weaker teams, with exception to the penguins win.
We are going to be up and down I agree...I can't tell if we need scoring or defense, we really need Nash back though
At the very least it would be fun to watch, considering Kristo can't even play defense at the AHL level yet.
