Of course they let Ottawa get well. And another blown game in hand that looks like no points. Not good.
I thought Smith had his stick slashed out of his hands but their problem is bigger than Smith, Staal and Holden are no better and Shatt is a defensive nightmare. It's amazing how often a Rangers dman opts to try his hand at goaltending rather than skate up and shove the guy trying to shoot the puck.
Amazing, teams use a lot worse than Smith and he can be traded. This team is ehhhh. That's the way I would sum them up. Need to add some young D guys like Graves. They need to get Zborovskiy out of the ECHL which is moronic and put him on the Pack. Some of the defenseman they are using there are crap.
I would also call up the kid Lettieri, scratch Carey and demote Miller to the 4th line where he can contemplate how he has had his head up his ass almost all season. Lettieri is a right handed shot. It might also be nice if the dumb fucks running our team actually start drafting talented right handed forwards with our higher picks instead of drafting a fucking lefty every time.
I don't know if they both play the same side but it's a bit mindboggling why they wouldn't give a solid prospect like Graves a look over Holden right now. I can see not sitting Smith because you want to justify his salary, but come on, something needs to be done back there.
Miller and McDonagh both are not helping this team enough. And Shattenkirk with the sloppy turnovers. Bad enough we have to watch that with the other D men. They need another top 6 forward badly. Wonder if they bring Brassard back?
Vesey and Hayes should be used in package deal to bring in a center and d-men. Hayes plays like a pussy 90% of the time.
LA and Boston this weekend, both physical teams who will camp out in front of Hank, then Anaheim, NJ & Toronto next week. The Rangers will be earning their points.
