Boyle with horrendous turnover and hank saves his ass again. Zucc the only one seemingly pissed at gudas going right after him
It's a broken record when it comes to this guy but Nash should've went hard to the net instead of taking the usual lazy wrist shot from the outside.
Yep. Dominick moore takes the 3rd shot on shootout and the 7.8 million man rots on the bench. WTF AV.
I've given up with him. We should've traded him in the offseason. Everyone was all concerned about how we would replace his goals, but how many of them were actually important and not goals against subpar teams?
Almost 50 shots allowed and a third period where they were outplayed. They were lucky to get a point. Take it and run.
When the refs refuse to make these 'obvious' calls, Ranger players must give it back in spades.........the refs will penalize a Ranger player. Ya gotta give the cheap shot artists a power shot right back. Cannot believe these refs are missing the head shots! NHL cannot let this crap continue.
Nash is still with zero goals (empty net goal does not count) and plays like a soft, big pansy ass. Looks like he is going to suck this year. They need to start thinking about how to ship his candy ass out here before the trading deadline.
Think harder Al. Because his alternative is sitting on the bench 85% of the time for the rest of the year. Pretty simple to figure out.
Then he gets paid for doing nothing. There's no leverage for the Rangers there. Plus, the obvious and common sense question that goes unanswered it who is taking him in a trade? You guys think the Rangers play in some bubble where nobody else can see what players are doing.
My biggest concern about this Rangers team after their first game against Columbus was how they responded to a team that gooned it up against them. Aside from Kevin Kline there is no player in last night's lineup that can drop the gloves and defend himself, that's why you need a guy like Tanner Glass in the lineup against teams like Philly. NHL refs will always look the other way when Rangers get hit illegally, has been that way for decades. I've always felt it was because most refs are Canadian and harbor an inherent dislike for American teams especially original 6 since they grew up as kids hating them. Unfortunately AV plays right into the hands of these teams with his disdain of this type of play and reluctance to respond to it, that was the knock against him in Vancouver and why the Canucks let him walk despite his success there. If he continues to be so stubborn with McIlrath the same thing will happen here in NY, Rangers players will not be content to see their teammates getting knocked out of games by cheap shots while AV does nothing. While you can't force Boyle to accept a trade you can certainly park his ass in the press box, the Rangers are not a step from the poor house so his $4 mil salary is irrelevant. The leverage the Rangers hold is in the fact that Boyle has limited time left, does Dan want to finish his career as a spectator or a player? That is the choice he should be given. It's a crime that McIlrath has only played one game thus far.
Someone should have went after Gudas. Next time that rat will do that to Nash, Zucc, Brass, etc. this is why they need to demand Boyle accepts a trade. Tired of this pansy shit with AVs team. It was a deliberate head shot and nobody does shit
I think we should repeat it 30 times. Yes, force somebody to accept a trade to some phantom team who's just itching to help out the Rangers and take on Boyle and his cap hit.
Boyle's cap hit is a total non factor. He's in the last year of his deal and he's still better than what a ton of teams use on defense out there. Starting with Philly, Columbus, NJ, the Islanders to name just a few.
Its time for Big Mac to get some action. The kid also has a big shot from the point and if given some games he will also contribute a little offensively. And whenever the next game is that he plays in he needs to be out there on the PK
If it is true, and everything points it out, that AV's teams play a pacifist style game........and the game itself dictates that hockey is a survivor's sport, no wonder his teams are injured come playoff time. I'm tired of Ranger teams not standing up to goon tactics. Hockey is not a pacifist game!
