    Dolan really needs to stop putting the Rangers on MSG 2 and put the loser Knicks there. The Knicks are a disgrace and let's face it. Most of their fans have no jobs and are probably protesting criminals being shot by cops. Time for Dolan to get his head out of his ass and make the Rangers first on his network.

    I agree dump, but it is about $$$. As bad as the Knicks are they are still the bigger draw in NY...and it isn't close...sadly.

    I am so tired of pucks across the goal line being
    waved off.

    Dumb Knicks replay on MSG and a live hockey game on MSG 2. Makes sense as the Knicks head to 5-30.

    Ranger inability to fill the net on their PP is
    ridiculous. Apathetic performers.

    Their powerplay is awful. Just a bunch of passing and weak 40 foot shots.

    Who thought Rangers were going to fill the net
    tonight? LOL In your dreams.....

    They play this way vs Washington.
    Put it in the "L" column.

    I have been very positive about this team overall, but even I admit the one thing that concerns me is the PP. It has to get better if we want to really be a contender. We'll struggle to beat top teams if we have an awful PP. How we won all those games in the playoffs last year with the PP literally not scoring at all is not easy to do again. We need to get this PP to at least be mid pack.

    Klein should be getting time on the PP. Boyle is just a waste out there right now.

    Zero shots on goal for Rangers this 3rd period.
    8 minutes in.

    Not the way to play this game.

    Snooze and you lose.

    Staal looks out of it. He's fumbling passes.
    Falling down with no one near him.
    What is going on?

    Glass makes more passes to the opposition
    than his line mates. Awful player.

    I don't think we really played that well tonight outside of the first 10-15 minutes of the game, but a W is a W so I won't get that upset. No O in the 3rd was frustrating, and we'll need to play MUCH better to beat the Caps on Tuesday night, but we won and we move on.

    BTW...Cam with 3 SO's in his last 4 starts I believe. Pretty impressive despite the fact that he didn't have a lot of work or need to make any really tough saves.

    Canes don't play to win games. They play to keep games close. Their coach should be immediately fired for his incompetence.

    Bottom line is the Rangers swept a series they were expected to sweep and have won 6 in a row. The PP is sucking right now but the flip side is every player being criticized a week ago has contributed offensively. This team is better than last year's talent wise, even with 3 rookies finding their way and injuries to top players the Rangers are 8th in the NHL in Goals per Game. Nash is having the epic year he was paid for with 33 points in 31 games, Stepan back with 10 points in 11 games and Brassard & MSL are off to great starts. The Rangers have the opportunity to make up ground against most teams ahead of them with games in hand. Right now the key issues are Glass, the PP and face offs. If AV can figure out two of the three this team will be fine.
