I hate the rangers as much as any other isles fan, but I was hoping that after the disaster in San Jose, I could sit back and watch the rags come out with a fire under their ass and put forth a competitive game... But Christ, the effort is just not there...would the owners even consider firing AV??? I know it's early...laviolette is available if anything...

Why stop with those two? Hrivik and Allen, come on down. Getting fed up with Del Zotto, seriously fed up.

Allen was very good in the preseason, he should get a chance

This is worse than any start even in the seven year playoff drought era. I am not panicking but this is disgusting to watch.

I just hated the whole idea of changing the system from the word go....its still early and I hope they fix this, but my god, Slats wants them to play uptempo and fast when they don't have those type of players...

It gets so much easier on Saturday...we get the 3-0 Blues who have outscored their opponents 14-4 so far this year

How sad is it that Joe and Sam classified that as a good shift, just because you kept the puck in for more than 3 seconds doesn't make it good.

At his rate AV might not make it back for his garden debut

Why do Ranger coaches like Torts have to take the fall while Sather has a job for life?

Was about to write something but really al a loss of words

They look lethargic and flat out lost in all ones these last almost five periods now.

Most teams, even really bad ones, come out with a fire lit under them after getting blasted in their previous game. These guys are just skating around like it's all good.

Crazy Uncle that reminds me of TJ just posted... "This is what the Rangers get for not letting Messier coach" and there is that chatter we just spoke of

I had to mute the tv....Sam and joe are the worst (frank)in announcers...they have no (frank)in clue what's going on

Missing the strike shortened season right about now

3 guys just standing near the crease....no one even touches Penner

The more I watch this, the more I am believing it was Sather's unilateral decision to let Torts go.....

If anyone's keeping count, that's 15-2 in their last five periods.

I think Dolan needs his head examined then. 9 game road trip to start off a season is ridiculous. Talk about being behind the 8-ball.

But, gee, just in time for Knicks basketball though...*shakes head*

How do you think Grundwald feels? He gets fired after a very good Knicks year and Sather is still GM of the Rangers.

Guys... wtf is wrong with Girardi

6-0

All we need is someone on the ducks to pull some nhl 14 poop and we can put this one in the books.

Outmuscled again, no fkn team toughness, disgrace

I think you all forgot the season we led the East. Started off in Europe and then the long road trip. I think we were 1-3-1 to start. Then lost 1 game in November and that was it, led the East basically the rest of the year.

If anyone's keeping count, that's 15-2 in their last five periods.

I'm not even mad I'm laughing. And did I miss it or is Hank STILL IN THE (frank)ING NET?!

He isn't doing himself any favors in his walk year...

It's crazy how many of these owners fall in love with their GM's and will not let them go for nothing. I'm shocked Milbury is still not the Islander's GM.

It MUST be done by Silferberg for a hat trick too. Don't forget about the signature hat trick!
