We need a new coach. The rangers? Nah. I think our top six is pretty good. Like I said they are underperforming. Being misused imo. Not playing consistently or to their ability. They aren't playing good agreed but with a better coach they would imo
- Cptmjl

i take nash and cally over any of your wingers and and kreider over any not named vanek.

JT is obviously far and away the best center on either team, but as a unit, i'd rather have richards - stepan - brassard - moore over JT - nielsen - regin - cizikas.

speaking of JT...when does his leadership come in question for not getting his teammates ready to play their hardest?

maloney, over and out.

I don't disgree but if its going to happen snow needs to do it now to see what he has with him. Of changes need to be done after his inevitable hire he can then do it in the offseason. This has gotten to the point of stupidity. Snow needs to wake the fack up.

Cptmjl, the only thing I can think of is Garth does not want to have to explain why he fired another coach. Garth does not seem comfortable speaking to the press as it is. I'm sure the press might ask why does he get to hire another coach? If Weight gets the job, they may ask why not an outside coach? Garth will give Cappy every chance to turn it around.

Honestly who really cares about your opinions. JT is far and away the best over-all player between the 2 teams. If not for the Rags D & all-world G, the team has been the biggest disappointment every year in the NHL

Take it for what its worth, but if the Rags played in the coliseum there is no way they could assemble a competitive team and should be thankful they play in a money factory called the Garden. With the ability to spend as much, the lonely Rags should have won a lot more cups possibly instead of being the biggest joke in a major market......

weren't you the one that said you'd take the rangers top 6 over the islanders?

yea JT is the best forward, but nash is a great player too. they're both players you can build around.

you have a lot of ifs. IF the rangers didn't have good defense...IF the rangers didn't have good goaltending...IF the rangers didn't have money...IF the rangers didn't play in MSG...IF the rangers didn't have good coaching...etc. etc. etc. then the rangers would be terrible. well duh. if the bruins didn't have any of that, they'd be pretty terrible too. and guess what...the rangers have all that

should the rangers have won more cups in their history? yea sure. but should the islanders be a more competitive team now than they are with all those great draft picks they have? you could argue yea for that too.

Yes I did say that about the Rags top 6, but don't need a Rags troll to point out

On your IF department, don't compare the Rags to the Bruins bc the Bruins IF's have won them 1 or 2 cups recently and continuing to be a dominant team. The Rags IF's are just that......IF's because they haven't won shat with all their resources..

Have a nice day......

Well of course you would. Regin shouldn't even be brought into this conversation. Just because Capuano is a moron and has inexplicable line combinations doesn't give your point merit. Brassard sucks, if you haven't figured out that he's never going to be the player he was supposed to be I don't know what to tell you. I'd take JT, Okposo, Bailey, Grabner, Nielsen, Vanek over Richards, Hagelin, Stepan, Brassard, Zuccarello, Nas all day long and any day of the week and I'm not being a homer like yourself.

I'm still shocked you'd take the rags top 6 over ours? I think that's their biggest weakness as do most of their fans. Just go on their thread and read. Rangerdanger doesn't count of course the kid is enamored with anyone wearing a rags jersey.

I'm going to the game, geez I think I am in for a nightmare ......The team probably ate so much turkey that their excuse for losing will be to much tryphopane (how ever you spell it)


How is dopey, I don't speak to him anymore, he's to much of a mess and irresponsible....long story for another day...

Hows mom & family?? did they come down to visit..

- rangerdanger94

to what? Same problem for how long now? Can't score. If Sather fixed that you'd be on the right path till then you're a team with good defense(which has been questionable lately)and a good goaltender (who hasn't been playing all that great). Nothing special and I'm not trying to be insulting.

I actually can't be defensive by what you say about JT...I just don't see him as a stand in the room and rally the troops type of captain.... he leads by example but the other players have their blinders on and have no fear from the coach (or respect for that matter). Cappy is not the coach that will lead this team to better days...he makes poor decisions, as if he doesn't even know the team at times). On top of that the GM leaves him juggling the same inconsistent type players from line to line or press box to line up......but i can see why you ask the question for sure about JT, but he really isn't the problem.

as far as the lines we have a good top 3, that's it. 2nd line just isn't playing, whether its lack of effort or ''battle level'', skill we know can be there but as long as they play like this they simply suck! If these players were on any other team we would say they suck from the outside looking in....

part of our defensive success comes from the defensive play of our top 6 forwards. guys like stepan, callahan, hagelin, kreider, and even nash (although less so him i suppose) are all excellent defensively and they play a big part defensively in our wins.

and they play a huge part in your losses when you can't score. Same olde story. you guys are on the path to another playoff berth(maybe)and first round exit. You won't even sniff the second round, you don't have the horses.

Poulin and grabner to be more specific. Definitely not Capuano's fault. What does he do again?

to the cup, as evidenced by our recent playoff history where we make it out of the 1st round.

it's hard to "fix" a team's issues without creating other holes. if you do it via trade, you give up a valuable defender and all of a sudden, you're a key defender away from winning the cup. you sign a scorer through free agency, and then all of a sudden we don't have enough money to re-sign stepan next summer and we're a top 6 center away from winning the cup.

sather saw the lack of scoring, which wasn't that much of an issue from our top 6. it's the lack of scoring from the bottom 6 which has been the real problem recently. but sather saw it, and he went out and signed d. moore and pouliot to add some depth to the bottom 6. pouliot has been disappointing, but the talent is there and he already has more goals and points than half our bottom 6 from all of last year.

delusional. If you even make it to the first round which I have my doubts and you should too division or no division your team will not make it out of it. You're just not that good. it's crazy that as a fan you can't have a more objective opinion on your own team? Do you actually look at the Rangers and think they'll make some noise in the PO's?

We probably watch a lot of hockey games to see what the talent is on the ice.
even tho JT is the best of the bunch, I give just a slight edge only bc they have learned how to play the D side of the game from Torts which has made their F's a little better over-all as a hockey player.

I know that's their biggest weakness but it may also be the system or chemistry that they have not formed yet.

yea yea i guess we'll have to wait and see. the rangers are built like some of the recent cup winners and the offense is coming around. the rangers are a BETTER team than the one that made it to the 2nd round last year, so there's a chance we can make a run if we make the playoffs.

we'll see though. both our teams have holes, obviously.

I'd take Vanek, JT, Nielsen, Okposo, Bailey, Grabner over Richards, Nash, Brassard, Hageling, Zuccarello, Stepan. I'm not even being a homer but I think you're completely off base with that one. Are they the best top 6 aound hell nobut they are better than that. Underperforming or not. Wow
