CCCP, these losses aren’t on Antti. The team is playing like crap offensively and defensively. That is how they were playing in front of Hank in December and January when his struggles peaked. A goalie can only do so much and outside of Zuuc I thought Antti was the best Ranger on the ice last night. Reminded me of the game Hank played against the Caps a few weeks ago. He gave up 4 goals but was the only guy putting any effort into the game. Our goalies aren’t the problem. The rest of the team taking off entire periods every game is the problem.

I’m not surprised because I knew it would take Gorton time to get this team headed in the right direction to be a contender again and right now the rangers are stuck on neutral. This year is a replay of last year where they get off to a fast start and than slowly come down to earth and by the last month of season play mediocre hockey right into the playoffs where they get knocked out in the first round. The one thing that concerns me is the only thing that has stayed the same is the coach.

Old Ranger Fan is correct to point out that expectations have changed greatly for this team since last summer. Unfortunately, desires often are conflated into expectations, as seems to be the case now. Nine months ago giving NYR fans a gift box and inside was a paper guaranty of 100 pts this season.. well people would have been doing cartwheels while not mocking it as crazy. Barring a complete collapse, it looks like 98-100 pts is in the cards.
So it is my hope and desire that this team will realize they can only win at the next level by playing hard for a full 60, but it is not my expectation. Not yet at least.

Nash doesn’t pass the puck, takes horrible angle shots and mostly puts his head down and bull rushes the net which ends with a save, shot wide or him on his arse.

Betcha the Rangers don’t get another power play because the refs are too busy counting the Rangers on the ice.

No loss there. Nash has been invisible in this one.

Is Nash a “high scoring forward”?

It’s one thing to take a too many men penalty. Taking 2 of them when there are 6 guys from the red line in has to be some kind of NHL record.
LikeLike
No, 411 goals make you a low-scoring forward.

Unbearable! Seriously, I’m turning off sound every faceoff break. Am I too sensitive? Or a local DJ is just a cretin?

The rangers need to hire a practice squad so they can safely practice hitting. Cuz they suuuuuuuuuck at it.

Every team knows the only thing the Rangers do on the pp is take the Ovechkin shot that only Ovechkin puts in. Just like everyone knows what Kreider is going to do on a breakaway.

Nash shooting to cause rebounds, following the adage: putting the puck on net is never a bad idea. An occasional pass, though, would be nice.

Fancy-boy passing the culprit at home? Maybe, but not on the strength of these two games. 3 goals scored in each. I nominate better ice, better defending, and four hockey lines ahead of of fancy-boy. In no particular order.

Norm, Nash’s bad angle shots rarely result in rebound shots. And not good ones at that. Her usually takes that shot when no teammates are even near the net.
