After he put the team on the PK after going down by a goal in the middle of the 3rd.

That was just (frank)ing dumb.

Right now I'm most worried about a wasted season due to a horrendous start. They need to fix this tonight. Hank can still be lights out, I'm not writing him off yet. They can't squander this season.

I'm worried too but it has been ONLY 2 losses. Someone said it last night that the 2013-14 season started awfully too, I think a good 2/3 weeks in they were brutal & look how that season turned out. Too early to panic but they need a win tonight bad.

I think we have a cushion here. I will give it 10 games. Need to be at least 5-5

That's pretty reasonable. I'm just sick of wasting Hanks time here. I know he's not completely devoid of blame but if there's anyone I'm giving the benefit of the doubt to it's him.

I honestly did forget how that season started. That's when Biron got shelled and retired. That was a bad time too.

I've made my opinion known on it, coupled with the unused timeout he doesn't help his players

I definitely give AV more leeway than some on here but that was just dumb.

Also needs to really make a decision on Chytil. Get some set lines and roll all 4. Right now they are playing 3 lines 75% of the game, and lines are changing in game. No structure right now.

I'm an idiot because I should have known what was coming. PP in pre-season looked good. Filip Chytil was a part of .it. Now, not so much. The d-coverage, as 5 man unit, stinks. The Pk isn't that good and Filip Chytil plays less than Paul Carey. Really just par for the course with the Rangers. Send Chytil back, sign Andrew Desjardins and let's just get this over with.

PP has been the lone bright spot, AV did lie his ass off about Chytil, Fast would have played 20 minutes last night if he were healthy and be on the 2nd line tonight, he's just a predictable coach

I may just thunder into this blog randomly, saying "Talent has no age."

Holy Crap! I knew they lost when I refreshed the thread from page 36 to 51. Just read the Post article, 5 goals on 17 shots? Ouch. Sounds like the 2nd period is when they woke up but went back to sleep in the 3rd. How did Pavelec look?

Like up a backup. Made some good saves early. Then was left out to dry and couldn't recover.

Blog up in a bit, catching up on all the comments plus re-reading all the info from the first two games. Not yet ready to panic. Concerning signs for sure, but it's just two games.

How this group of veterans let that happen last night, why is it aside from last year a struggle for hockey players to go and play half decent hockey? I'm convinced AV isn't long for this job, the leash better grow tight cause he should have been fired in May

I've said the same last year and year before. I am on board with you, maaannnnnn. AV's history is that his teams erode year after year. I think bringing in Ruff was a foreshadowing move.

Lindy Ruff and AV are one in the same to me. Great coaches who can have team get wins in the regular season and then come up short in the playoffs. Idk what the answer is.
