    Sorry but the guy Isn't a total rock, he's a good penalty killer and the only one on the team that throws the body, that being said I'd rather see Miller play

    Glad that the All-Star break is over. The Rangers can now resume their season. Do you guys think the game on Tuesday will be cancelled because of the upcoming snowstorm?

    The Allstar Game, no checking, back, body or fore is not real hockey, I think its an embarassment to the league...

    Same can be said of the Pro Bowl, yet this one is more entertaining

    Fun watching Allstar Marc Andre Fleury give up a seven spot in one period!

    Long Island wearing their cheesy-looking getups this evening.

    It's obvious who the better team is at this juncture...

    hardly - it's about matchups and we don't match up well against Tampa or the fish sticks right now. AV has to find a way to adjust. Remember when the pens and habs owned us? He sure turned that around

    Can someone please explain to me why Brassard was dressed last night? He missed another wide open net (but at least the goaltender was actually in the crease), had at lease a half-dozen turn overs, and lost the face off to a winger (After the Isles center was tossed from the crease) which lead to the third Islanders goal.

    God, please, get him off this team. We don't have a first line center. We have, at best, a second line center in Stepan, and three fourth liners.

    Re-signing Staal was a huge mistake. He could have been bundled with Talbot and traded for a STUD center.

    I think we will be active before the trade deadline

    we're still pretty gay up front and we cannot win a face off and we're still a score short. I agree that we will be active before the deadline.

    Kreider Zucc and Hagelin are under-performing---especially zucc...I thought after the way he finished last year that he would be a major contributor this year-he has not been to say the least. Hagelin we know smells so 10 goals out of him isn't bad at all.......Kreider? I'd love to hear from the guys who told me this guy was a cant miss stud....HACK? MR? Are we still using the " Torts fucked him up excuse'? Some of you guys said he would be a premiere power forward in this leage. Jury is still out but I am assuming some of you are getting a little worried at this point? I just don't see ANY consistency obviously, still makes bonehead plays in his own zone, still takes lazy penalties in the offensive zone and he doesn't score.

    And as fast as Kreider is, hes not a great skater by any means.

    Zucc is having a subpar year, Kreider and Hags go in and out, very inconsistent...at this point Tanner Glass is our only toughness, Kevin Klein has had a very good year...still no panic, we have won 16 out of 20, we need a few tweeks...but Isles definitely have our number

    If McDonagh continues to play with his head up his ass, and Vigneault continues to bench superior players for Tanner Glass, it doesn't really matter what happens with anyone else because the team will be on the golf course before May 1st. Of course the year we finally get top production from the center position, the usually rock solid parts of the team are inconsistent.

    McD must have some lingering injury, he's not himself

    AV: Glass still not 100 percent with "upper-body" injury---not long-term---but has played physically last 3 games, element that team needs.
