rangers will come back in this 1

 

refs haven't missed a thing the rangers have not done, these guys r dirty and gettin away with it , zooks just took a hit no call he'll be out a month now too

 

can the rangers play any worse? st louis, that shot was pitiful! worst performance ever by talbot...... nash terribe, only standouts stepniak and duclair, duclair could be black great 1!!!!!

 

staal and or girardi or both bgone by years end

 

staal most likely. girardi is not going anywhere.

 

Can't trade either one of them as klein, moore and hunswick all suck. Need big mac up here now so teams like columbus arent running us all night. And when he plays a few games he'll be as good as any of the bottom 2 we have now.

 

They better resign Staal during the season otherwise he is going to carolina to play with his bros.

 

if they cant resign him then move Staal during this season.

 

Hunwick is 5'11" and 190 giving the Rangers zero physical presence. Klein looks worse than last year, any offensive contribution by this bum is pure luck and he avoids contact at all cost. Staal continues to tend the grill with his ineffective poke checking and flopping to the ice for no reason. Moore is still young so I can give him the benefit of the doubt and at least he took the body a few times. Girardi seems to bounce off every player he checks but he is still relatively reliable. There is no reason McIlrath should be down in Hartford, he needs to be up here developing. Just as AV was wrong about CK at the beginning of last year he's wrong about McIlrath this year.

The officiating was horrible last night as well. The elbowing call on Hagelin was totally embellished. The call on Stempniak was also embellished to Artempussinov who seemed to miraculously recover and the no call on Fartsmell was even more inept. The fact that the ref told AV Stemp was playing the puck when his stick had been broken on the initial penalty was ludicrous. No call on a BJ player dropping his gloves after a cheap shot on Zuccarello but a misconduct for CK. Terrible job, wish the NHL would crack down on incompetent officiating the way the three more popular sports than hockey does.

 

I know you're the lone spokesman/water carrier for the NHL refs 31 and you probably saw nothing wrong with the way last night's game was called. Got it dude you're a referee cheerleader and probably wear zebra stripes to the games you attend.
