Be that as it may, a little bird outside my window tonight told me that if (when) the team loses to the Islanders, our largest trouble will be gone. <BR/>The bird was like an oracle, it was so hard to know what it meant, it was so cryptic.

Get this problem cleared up and then take a good hard look at what players can do, when they are operating at a decent level of intensity.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6784571.post-56907581795913425542009-02-16T17:18:00.000-05:002009-02-16T17:18:00.000-05:00Just a few thoughts on all your comments.

I wanted a cruncher defenceman too, but that took back seat to a guy up front who scared other teams. It would have made the rest of the forwards better. That's on Sather, not sure how much Renney was involved in player selection and I will not pretend to know. <BR/>The roster management (Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6784571.post-31716617420732700472009-02-16T11:02:00.000-05:002009-02-16T11:02:00.000-05:00Same Sh*t.

The Mets, Jets, and now the Rangers are all establishing a sad New York legacy of late season collapses. <BR/><BR/>The debate about whether Renney has lost the team or not is over. He has. These guys are not playing for him. They can't hold the line any more and keep their games to 2-1 affairs. Especially with Lundqvist cracking. jbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16530893892145351006noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6784571.post-87000021767546192842009-02-15T17:34:00.000-05:002009-02-15T17:34:00.000-05:00You are right on- "the garden faithful" deserves...You are right on- "the garden faithful" deserves this team-just for the way jagr was booed last year.
