Zach6668 513 Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 i dont think there is any chance there is a trade made here..Why give up something, when you can get him at a lesser salary..IMOThis has happened a thousand times this year already. Teams won't take on salary without giving away their useless salary in return.Look at the Jokinen trade. Tampa takes a bunch of guys who sit in the pressbox all year.

Whiter Sr 0 Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 What a freefall from the top.This team (I believe) was 1st in the East after the first 20 games or so.Reminds me of the Sens last year.They just haven't been able to score lately and Henrik can only stop sop many.

Also, some of their players like Dubinsky and Voros who came out of the gate on fire aren't even smoldering now. Link to post Share on other sites

Also, some of their players like Dubinsky and Voros who came out of the gate on fire aren't even smoldering now.True. Renny out, John Tortorella in. What do people think of this move? He's obviously of a very different breed than Tom. Will his more aggressive style and more manic personality be a welcome change from Tom's reserved personality and defensive emphasis?It's hard to say right now. But certainly the Rangers have a lot of offensive talent that is horribly under preforming. Gomez and Drury need to be revitalized, and Zherdev needs to start scoring more goals instead of only putting on a show with some fancy moves. Dubinsky needs to wake up. Our strongest players through this drought have been our young and speedy players, such as Dawes, Callahan, and Prucha. Hopefully our new coach's style will emphasize their skills and will allow our more veteran players to get some room, play their game, and score some goals (for once).We'll see. I'm sad that Renny's gone because he's a great guy and brought us to the playoffs three times after a long drought. But our team needs a jolt. Link to post Share on other sites

I'm sad that Renny's gone because he's a great guy and brought us to the playoffs three times after a long drought. But our team needs a jolt.It had to come. I have never seen the power play worse. Redden is abysmal. Bench minors are happening all over the place. I thought that a Renny team was always prepared and would not be out worked but that was certainly not true in the past few months and especially not true against Toronto. With the play of Betts, Callahan, Dawes and Prucha there is some hope. Hopefully Tortorella can light a fire under Zherdev, Gomez, Drury and Naslund. If he can do that and Lundqvist can get hot, there is still time to save this season. The move had to be made. Link to post Share on other sites

He was the Rangers best player the first half and now he is non-existent. Link to post Share on other sites

He takes no shit from anyone no matter who you are. Perform or be prepared to pay the consequences.I think he was great on TSN this year too.I saw Naslund's name in a posts and I had totally forgotten he was even in New York. I haven't seen him in a highlight all year long. Link to post Share on other sites

Dropped the gloves with Ian White in Tottorella's first game behind the bench. He locked on the seatbelt like his life depended on it but what do you expect he's european. I would be more embarressed to be Ian White. Link to post Share on other sites
LongLiveYorke 38 Posted March 1, 2009 Author Share Posted March 1, 2009 So, does a 6-1 victory mean that the new system is working and we are able to score?I don't know. We were playing the Avalanche, a very weak team, so it's not surprising that we won. But we've played weak teams before and never scored 6 goals. So, I'm not going to start jumping for joy and claiming victory, but I think last night's victory is a good sign. We have a few days off to rest and practice, so hopefully that will do the team a lot of good. But we don't play many games this week and it gives a lot of teams that have games in hand a chance to catch up and potentially put us out of the playoffs. So, we're going to need to be at our very best when we play again. Pretty much every game is a must win from here on in. Link to post Share on other sites
