I'm not firing a coach to have veteran players step the (frank) up and start playing better.

I'm not advocating for that (yet) but it has been done by other clubs to salvage a season. I doubt the Rangers are thinking that way or if they ever will for this season.

Ya know what’s frustrating is that play cross ice is open all day and they have whiffed on it 90% of the time so far this season. Those went in last year. Every time you saw that puck go cross ice to Panarin or Zibanejad you know that was hitting the open net. Those 2 aren’t playing to the level I’m expecting. Need more from them plain and simple

My thoughts exactly. And thats not the coaches fault

Yeah, just ride this season out and if they want to make a change do it over the summer

Quinn isn’t going anywhere. Got to get the entire top 6 going, until that happens the team will keep losing

The drop a few more in a row and the season is over. They won't recover if this continues.

They are tied for last place if you throw out Dallas.

If the top 6 was producing at all the Rangers are probably 3-2

Yep they are digging themselves a huge hole early

Also now we get to experience the post Hank era. A lot of these games in the past he wins for us.

He would have definitely won this game for use as 2 of those goals were stoppable.

Yep all of them are bad right now. Usually they do it at different times. But this is the first time all of them suck at the same time , why they are losing.

Not having a real training camp and preseason is really looking like is crippling us.

I just wanted to see .500

1-3-1 just seems so bad especially if it becomes 1-4-1 or worse.

Maybe, but Hank had a habit of letting in an odd softy also.

Buch has been the best out of all of them. He probably should have had a goal last game and this game

One big positive is Panarin looks lackluster and is still PPG.

And rather than dropping Kreider down from the Zib line, they drop Buch. Great decision there.

I thought buch was great the first 2 games but has kind of fallen back since. But yea I agree he is the best of the six. Although not sure how much that means. Right now we may be better than them lol

Depending on Chytil's injury, and if the top 6 doesn't get going it could be a lot worse than that

Well a top 3 pick will be fun again

True. But his mechanics were more sound. That goal Shesty let in between the legs was due to his legs dropping uneven and his stick as a ramp for the puck. That's just poor mechanics that will cost you.

Well I'm willing to bet they finish dead last and pick 4th.

He went from playing with his usual center, to playing with trash Strome. Kreider whos been trash hasnt seen any movement down the lineup.
