You realize Torts had a .558 win percentage with the Rangers, right? He also led the Rangers to an ECF, won a President's trophy and should have won a coach of the year with the Rangers (DID win one with TB though). So everything you are sayig about AV could be said for Torts. But yet we all...

Boyle nor Stepan will answer this teams lack of physicality. They're more of what we have already. Soft, offensive minded players. Things aren't going to change simply because we have more offensive minded players.

I would love to be wrong, but this is AV's system guys. Look at his track record in Vancouver. He doesn't know what to do with defense and just wants small fast guys. He believes that speed equals skill and will guarantee success instead of realizing you need to be sound in all phases of the...

Four games in, but concern NEEDS to be there as this team just isn't defensively sound, and we can't blame learning the system now. It's coaching. Look at AVs record in Vancouver. Guy had NO clue about defense. He's brought that philosophy here now.

He obviously has no idea that a team needs defense. He showed this in Vancouver, and he's proving it again here. Guy simply doesn't believe in defense. He's a hack. He's bascially Jon Gruden, minus winning the championship. He's an offensive guy that took a team that was defensively sound to the...

I'm about to cancel my center ice package from directv so I don't have to deal with this shit.

Also need a PHYSICAL fucking player. I don't care if it's a dman, center or a winger. We need a player who will throw his body around and actually be able to lay out an opposing player and not just bounce off of him.

Two dmen for the Rangers against one Islander in the corner and the Islanders player wins the puck. Laughable.

This team is a fucking joke. AV is now showing his true colors. Great offensive coach, shitty defensive coach. This is why he got relieved of duty in Vancouver. Can't just play offense you fucking moron. You need defense and a defensive system. The system can't simply be just offense. This was...

Kostka is awful. Wow. If McIlrath isn't better than this garbage then we might as well give up on him already. Our defense doesn't handle forehecks well. They get nervous, move the puck too quickly and fuck up. We continue to simply reach and poke for the puck instead of hitting the puck...

Too much reaching for the puck and not skating for it nor hitting the opposing player with the puck. They just stop skating, start reaching and are constantly out of position because of it. Also, why do we seem to always suck so much on key faceoffs???

Do we ever score a ENG? God. Always gotta be nervous til the final horn. Ughhhh

Who is this guy wearing 61 and where is the real Nash? lol

From what I've seen already, once again this team is afraid to use the body and check, but instead continues to try and reach for the puck with their sticks, losing a majority of the battles. Need to be physical boys! Can't win puck battles when you stop moving your skates and start reaching for...
