Can we stop calling him the King? I mean, seriously folks ... Ever since he took that first game off against Toronto, he has been more pauper than prince. I like him, don't get me wrong, but more and more he is beginning to look like a Steve Penney, Jim Carey, or Roman Turek. Something needs to happen before he fades back into obscurity like those other guys.

As for the rest, as I said on my blog, leadership is what keeps a team poised - the Rangers lost all poise and control last night. Its time for a change - captain, coach, something ...

Do the Rangers have enough youth to pry away Sundin from Toronto?
Say goodbye to Jagr, Straka and company at the end of this season as a new generation takes charge led by the King, Gomez, Drury and Stall. My concern is that this group isn't as well positioned as the 2008 Rangers with a trade or two for a run at Lord Stanley.

And you guys think I am too negative. The entire structure collapsed last night and did you see the look behind the bench.

Deal. e-mail me and we'll set up some games to watch. (jibblescribbits@gmail.com)

And deal we can both change coaching staffs to shake things up.. we want to keep Hackett though, you can keep your goalie coach.

anonymous...ah, you have exposed them once again. the defense -- and I agree with Pucks On Broadway -- Hank was terrible: my earlier declaration of play Stephen Valiquette every other game stands -- we all love the guy, but here we go again.

jibble...i'll take it. even swap coaching. anything to shake things up. how about i just become an avs fan and we swap loyalties -- I'd be happy to cover a colorado game on your blog -- a fresh perspective and I'll let you do the same here in Dark-ness. Oy.

FOPPA!!!!! FOPPA!!!!! HOW YOU WOULD HAVE SAVED THE WORLD IF IT WEREN'T FOR THAT DAMN TOENAIL!!!!

Hmm, My offer to trade coaches is still on the table.

I was flipping channels and instinctively went to this game. Then I saw it was 5-2 and I said "Eh i'll watch Minnesota/Vancouver it's only 1-0."

My question is, where was Henrik Lundqvist? Yes I understand all of the hoopla about systems and Renney, but the King has been less than royalty lately and a big save there would have turned the tide. This just illustrates that this is not a team that is ready to win, but maybe this will be the lesson.

Once again Tom Renney and his defensive system failed. All teams playing the Rangers this season watch the tapes and look for those open opportunities and capitalize on it. Against Buffalo and San jose they were lucky because the defense allowed holes and weaknessesbut both teams didn't take advantage of those flaws. Montreal was a great example of studying your opponent and never giving up. The impossible was made possible because they saw the defensive weakness. The Rangers don't belong in the playoffs. And the off season they need to dumpo everyone except Staal, Girardi and Tyutin, though they all sucked yesterday. Even Renny contines to play Malik in the final minutes of the disaster Montreal debacle. No one knows what to expect of this team because the players don't know what to expect from themselves AND their coach. Whatever Sather has up his sleeve in possible trades will not be good enough. So disappointing.
