Well I like Neil Smith and thinks he's been treated unfairly for a long time while Keenan who gave up on them I really could care less for, Espo was a terrible GM and the only other coach I really liked in my lifetime is probably Renney, he was the first coach after the lockout

Sather talked a lot and if it wasn't for he cap we'd be doing the same thing year after year, trying to buy a Cup

I will weigh on this. What they have done and doing to Neil Smith is criminal. He is the only GM to have brought the Cup to NY since 1940 and he is treated horrifically by this organization.

Sorry I can't make easy excuses like most, that's me and I don't give a (frank) but go ahead and complain, where's Tom when I need him?

If it wasn't the Isles I wouldn't still be as pissed as I was 19 hours ago

You take these rivalry games way to seriously. They beat the bluejackets twice in their building recently, did that at least impress you at all? Just trying to give you perspective. Why are the isles games more important to you? I don't get it

Who is making excuses? Pretty sure I call out bad play and decisions when warranted. But cognizant that no term is perfect, even though I wish they were

I think the majority of us feel that way, he's never been brought back, his mother in law lives in my town and I've run into his wife before, told her how the fans hate how he's treated

Did you not hit the ceiling when step scored the OT winner game 7 vs the caps? I know I did. Do you just forget that happen forever?

It's one loss, they won 6, the Isles are desperate, there's plenty there but god forbid I call them out for losing to a non playoff team who got blown out 7-1 just 2 days prior, it's not like the Isles beat us on talent last night, wish I saw a Ranger give the effort against the Isles that I see Tavares gives against us, it's will, it's desire and it's pride

TJ we gotta stop living off that goal like MSG had to stop living off of 94, he earned his deal with that goal, so because of that it means he can be unproductive without being asked to do more? It happened but he didn't raise a Cup so unfortunately I have to want more

Vin be honest, 98 and 0 is the only way you'll be happy all year. No losses whatsoever is good enough.

Effort was there last night, watch the game again

I think at times will and desire are overplayed but on that goal, he and Kuleimin outworked the Rangers. The Blueshirts carried play the last 12-15 minutes of the third but two horrific defensive mistakes resulted in the loss. Unsure that's all will and desire, it's execution

the point is, when he scores a big playoff goal this year...beg and plead with us for an apology. Just saying

It's as close to a playoff game as you're gonna get in the regular season, it sucks that they just don't play with the same intensity as the Isles do ever, I want to see more pride, Messier, Graves, Leetch, Richter, Beukeboom, those guys played with the pride I want to see more of from this group, maybe that's part of what's keeping us from getting the job done?

I will when it's a Stanley Cup winning goal

Meh the Isles sat back more than we carried the play, Tavares also was relentless until the final buzzer, the shorty was a perfect metaphor for the entire game and it's the same results now for most games against them especially in Brooklyn

I will when it's a Stanley Cup winning goal

Come up with something new, I'm not going to be shamed into feeling as if I'm irrational all the time

Cool, you've been back for what 3 days? Glad to see you again

You should be on twitter, there's far worse

You're just so predictable dude I'm the one with balls to say it

Ok effort was there but it was outmatched by the Isles, that a little bit fairer?

I guess I'm the one with the balls to call the Rangers out then?

And you know I do my fair share of defending the wall, sometimes I just question what am I getting out of it?

Just came out of left field it seems like to me with Stepan. There always has to be whipping boy and it's ridiculous
