Glad I missed the game as it sounds like (from the in game comments on the blog last night and Jan's write-up) a good group of players had games that were very frustrating to watch given what we know they can do when they play to their potential.
With that being said the only thing I can comment on is Jan's assertion about coaches and making adjustments. When I played in college we had 5+ different breakouts, a bunch of offensive zone entry plays and 3 separate power plays that were designed to combat what our opponents were doing. The players and coaches were able to determine the effective plays in game and between periods once we recognized what teams were doing.
I find it absolutely amazing that with a full coaching staff, video in the locker room, and on the actual bench IN GAME that they are not making adjustments. This has been the most frustrating part of the games lately.

At least for you guys, it's only been lately. It's been years for us.

Reading their woes of high scoring games and then being shut down with the center ice trap... its like the Disco Dan era with the Pens and his heavy reliance on that stretch pass and dump and chase

Yeh sorry about that. When I look at our coach I see a professional and expect certain things from him. When I look at your coach I expect him to scream"Yabba Dabba dooooo" and slide down a Brontosaurus Tail into a car with cement pillars for wheels... and that's it

Sadly, so do I. My belief right now, since they won their last 3, is that there was a mutiny in the locker room and JT took over. Flintstone is just a suit behind the bench and all line-up and in-game decisions go through JT.
There were a good amount of Rangers fans in the stands last night, which i had never really noticed. Pretty good atmosphere. Do Rangers fans travel pretty well?

I have made it to almost all games when the Blueshirts come our way (but not last night, thankfully!!) and the last time (Feb. 2015) I remember commenting to my wife that there were more Rangers fans than we usually see.
I remember that game - most of the stadium dome was covered in ice!!!
[quote=RangerFan1110]Good article Jan after 43 years of being a Ranger fan and only winning one Stanley Cup its sad to say how much easier it is getting not to win it all since you just don't expect it, you hope and pray for it. - gravyboy33
Clendening is getting the McIlrath treatment this season; though, McI was far more productive than this guy. Poor kid...
Team just needs to wake up some. Zucc has been visible, but little or no productivity. If he struggles, then team struggles. However, Nash has been friggin awesome lately.

So are we gunna talk about how many games AV has won as coach of the Rangers or can we say how big of a facking moron he's being with this lineup?
Let's give clendening one game a month the rest of the year sounds good, should be nice and sharp - mrn22
AV has facked up the lines thing, but I'm not on the "Coach is a total sham & needs to go" kick some Ranger fans are onto either. Talk to islander fans how quick they would snatch up AV if they could for Coach Yabba dabba doo over there.

That's the thing tho whenever someone criticizse AV it turns into some strawman argument like "what? Would you rather have Capuano??"
Literally nothing to do with the argument and I'm not even saying we should fire bike but he literally takes zero tough questions from media or has to answer to anyone for blantanly stupid decisions.
