Rangers 10-1 in last 11 meetings. Absolutely ridiculous

And 0-6 vs. Devils in last 6 meetings.

1 and (frank)ing 16.

Your personal idea of what a better coached team is related to your personal belief that a defensive minded system is better.

We have gone through that as well, and you have admitted which you prefer.

Jesus couldnt fix the stupid on this team.

They simply arent good enough, thats what it ends.

No it's not related at all to my personal belief that a defensive minded system is better. It's tied to my belief that you have to play well both ways, and in all 3 zones.
This Coach and his style of play, is a huge contributor to why they aren't good enough. It has always been this way with Laviolette's teams. And I've talked about it since the day he was hired.

To be fair we can both agree that Henks would've looked much better against those chances no?

they're a .500 team at the very best at this point. Every loss proves that, and every win makes you forget that.
- the deaninator


Exactly right.

They defense sucks ass in terms of transition and you have them continously exposed against tight checking teams. Why is that?

I think blaming the system is far too short sighted. They lose because they get outworked along the boards in the gritty game. They lost this game in the trenches as far as I am concerned. That falls on hard work.

The other reason they lose against such teams? Goaltending and stupidity are absolutely huge. If Bryzgalov makes a big save like Henrik did throughout the game they could still be in it. If the horrific line changes dont happen because of individual stupid mistakes.

Jesus Murray Christ could come in here and make them a defensive minded team. Still doesnt change the fact that they are poop, simply because they are poop. They need better players, especially on that horrific back end.

Welp, that was pathetic. I'm really starting to think Lavy's days are numbered. Too damn many of the mistakes being made time and time again are looking more and more like bad coaching.

Not all, but an alarming percentage. One or two more games like this and he's toast.

What's your prediction for next 2 games against Pens, and Bruins with Foster entering the lineup for Grossmann?

Have to play defense well to transition the puck. Have to create turnover and have a neutral zone presence and layers to their checking. Hasn't been there all year. Beat the Flyers forecheck deep in your end, and you've got clear entry in the Flyers end. Cut pucks and challenge the Flyers at the blueline, and you've got odd man rushes against. It was only a matter of time until this Coach tried to unleash the hounds. This team isn't good defensively because the Coach doesn't demand it. It's all go, go, go.
- MJL


Its not "go, go, go" at all.

It would be if they had a D-core that was NHL caliber. As of right now it is not, and the forwards are getting ass-(frank)ed along the boards every damn time.

Murray can come in here and demand good defensive play. I hope he has a cure for the stupidity on the team.

Don't know that Grossmann isn't going to play. I don't look at every injury as if its the end of the World.
