You are right, they should of but it's not the end of the world, they lose two straight in January, big deal, so what every team does. They are obviously doing something right as their record shows but as soon as they give up a goal or lose a game in here it's trade everyone, this team sucks, blah blah blah
- Rangers99

Well this a slight exaggeration....

Meh. Hrivik is a Lindberg/Fast etc type player. No reason he needs to be here. He is a 4th line player who isn't terribly important to the Rangers success.

I was being sarcastic, come on Matt

Tell me a team that isn't flawed please.
- Rangers99

Most teams are. The Rangers flaws are evident. They play lousy in the defensive zone, they have zero confidence in their starting goalie. Which results in the goalie having zero confidence in himself. They also had 2 instances this year in which they earned a 5 minor major power play, they didn't score on either one of them. Good teams make opposing teams on the scoreboard when that happens.

Well, besides you. Although we agree Fast is an excellent 4th liner for his salary.

Ok I guess all these wins they have are lucky and should be in last. Are they he most flawed team in the league? Also, playing two months without their #1 center doesn't mean anything either

The part that bugs me about Hank is after a d-man screws up or deflects one in Hank gives him the death stare . But when a soft one goes in on him the d-men don't turn around and stare him down .. Would get old playing in front of a guy doing this over and over
- way out west

i HATE when he does that sh!t!

Guy has been great for us for a long time so he deserves some time to figure this out but... 5 years left on the deal is scray

Jesper Fast last night had 3 blocks, he & Grabner both played the most on the pk, and he wasn't a minus. 9 other guys that skated last night finished with a minus.
- tomburton99

I don't care what he does, Fast sucks. U can say he plays the most on the PK but he's terrible. U know who our best PKers are? Miller and Hayes. U know how I know that? Because I have eyes.

Not the most flawed. Most puzzling for sure. Losses to the Wings, Panther and Sabres(x2) support that claim. They also lost 7 games in which they've scored first.

Jesper Fast doesn't get scored on when he's out there. That's just a fact.

Listen ..... mr all world price looked like garbage last nite too. At this point I would rather coast the rest of the season and get Montreal in the first round instead of Pitt or caps. Having said that I agree with brooks hank has to play ALOT down the stretch I'd rather he have problems now. And don't trade a top six forward for the defenseman we all know we need play it out and sign shattenkirk in July when it only costs money

Hank will recover, It's just amazing at this point in his career he seems to have become a head case. I am really tired of hearing how the team plays lousy in front of him and much better in front of Raanta. Maybe thats because they play the same but Raanta hasnt been letting in a ton of stoppage shots. Hank played many years for this team when we were not nearly as good as we are now, and he made the saves. Is he older now, of course, so maybe now we need to split the goaltending duties between them. Love the guy, but we need to WIN games

They do play differently in front of Lundqvist then they do Raanta.

At least I have the Cowboys to cheer me up when they win tonight.. Not like you Jets/Giants fans.

Yeah let's leave quickie out of this, ya malaka! poor guy gets an average 10-11 minutes a night, & half that time it's probably spent killing off TPC's 6'3" 230lb sugar daddy
