Jackets and my boy during vs our rangers

chuck, why do you keep judging Cam as a starter? Hank comes back and cam goes back where he belongs. Nobody will give him a job as starter. I don't know what pipe Cam is smoking if he wants to be a starter some day.

 

For sure Mess. It is weird because Cam has not played well, and honestly as a team we have been very up and down, but we are winning, and that is obviously the most important thing.

Sure we have played some lesser teams, but we beat Boston, we beat the Isles, we beat CBJ (who has won some tough games), we won at Colorado (who are decent).

So overall we are winning, and that is the key.

 

Because he is our starter now. He will be starting another 10 games +/-. He signed for one season only because he wants to be a starter. But if you want me to judge him as a backup, sure I do think he is a solid backup when played in the right spots.

 

Most likely he's not a starter but what do we care he gives us pretty much all we could want in a backup. Our defense isnt exactly the Hoover Dam bottling up people either.

 

Win the next two games against Calgary and Zona at home, then the tough streak starts. If we can win the next two, I will be very happy.

 

Sure, that was a bad bad goal no doubt. He does need to be a bit sharper. Some nights they'll have to score 4/5 for and others he'll save their bacon but overall i have little complaints with him.

 

He does need to be a bit sharper. That is the understatement of the century.

Considering he let's up soft goals every game, yeah he needs to be a bit sharper...LOL.

 

The team defense is a huge concern at this point. Talbot has given up a lot of soft goals but the d has been terrible for the most part, since hank's last game. It is strange to me because they usually play very good d in front of Talbot when he subs for Hank.

 

Yes! The points are what matters...but yeah, let's constantly post how we are so disappointed and have no faith in a goalie who (ideally) would start 15-20 games a year tops but is getting the starts now due to a bizarre injury to the Rangers unquestionable STARTING goalie... If you guys truly believed the points are all that matter (at this point, the points ARE all that matter) you wouldn't be posting the 'we have to win this in OT because there's no way we win in the shootout' garbage. The Rangers have earned 16 out of a possible 20 points since Henrik went down. SIXTEEN OUT OF TWENTY!!!!!! Yeah, it should be said that was done despite the goaltending but ITS YOUR FUCKING BACKUP GOALIE....just keep racking up the points and hope that Hank is his old self when he finally comes back.
2 points! Horray! On to the next game.

 

Why is it strange to you Step? Before he started all these games I said when he plays 1 game every 8 or 10 it is easy to step up on D and "protect" Cam. But being a starter that cannot happen, he actually needs to play well.

So this is no surprise to me.

 

We just view things differently grey, but you know what maybe you are right. I have to change my thinking, we all do. Cam is a backup who is starting. Need to stop treating him as a starter. I am good with that.

Like I said, just get points and move on with Cam in goal. My new mindset. Nothing else matters. Every point we get without Hank is a win.

 

Earn points, stay healthy.

 

At this point that does seem like a bigger need than a bottom 6 forward. Cannot argue with that now. We should focus on a dman to play with Boyle as the big add.

 

Perhaps Talbot will be a starter for someone for a few years, i don't know you can really conclude either way after 50 games.

 

Agree with that. Final chapter not written on his career. Right now he is nowhere close to being a starter though.

 

Chicken or egg.....
