FINAL: Vancouver 3 Rangers 0
Posted On Friday, January 4, 2008 at at 12:38 AM by Pucks on BroadwayA lot to discuss that I will leave until the morning, but a few notes to consider going forward.
- Can the Rangers rebound against Edmonton? Yes. But will they is the real question.
- Where is the sacrifice? The Rangers need to do something to shake up the chemistry, ala Sean Avery last season. Who is the lamb? Callahan, Prucha, Straka? Something needs to be addressed.
- Officiating: I am not citing biased, but I am citing reputations and inconsistencies. If the NHL allows the officiating to become like the NFL, MLB, or NBA where refs are dictating the games, the hope for the sport is lost. Refs also need to grow up and start looking beyond the name on the back of the jerseys for penalties.
- Special teams: The Rangers need to address this on both ends. How do you fix it?
1) Agreed that a shake up may be necessary. With limited cap space as well as limited options from outside the organization the options may be to promote/play the younger guys more and/or replace Renney.
2) Being that Isaiah Thomas is still employed, it appears the Garden is reluctant to fire even the most incompetent coach so Tom may be safe for a while.
Good point faux. Who do you think will sit though in order to promote from within? Also, do you think Renney has done a poor enough job to warrant being fired?
faux/scotty...Isaiah has some private and confidential tape version of "2 Girls, 1 Cup" starring the Cablevision Owners -- I am convinced of it.
Tom Renney doesn't have such a tape.
;)

just finished writing mine, so freaking long I think i need some gatorade just to recover from the freaking thing lol.
