Official fire AV thread

They just don't complete chances and think the game quick enough. On top of the many turnovers. Maybe they're just not as good as i thought going into the year. I still think they aren't playing with enough fire overall. Certainly a weak C spot isn't helping.
 
The funny thing is usually this team does play with heart and battles back. I'll give them that, and it also makes me think they haven't quit on the coach. With that said though they are always falling behind to need those big comebacks, and they cover no one in their own zone.

I still believe this team has the talent to be a good team, but they don't bring it consistently and don't commit to good structure. And of course they need another top 9 C.
 
Nice shift by J.T. Miller skating lazily to the bench when they still had the puck. He is the the other guy who plays whenever he feels like it.

It's not about the coach. They still have some pride as professional athletes and at least try to put some points for the next contract.
 
The first 5 and last 5 minutes are really their bane so far this year.
 
Saving AV's job...:).

One thing I really like about Ziban...the dude shoots the puck. That is rare on this team.
 
does Nieves actually know how to shoot the puck. I've never seen a worse NHL player at shooting than him.
 
So frustrating though. They can play so well, and then be a no show for long stretches and play zero D. They do it in games also. Look at Toronto and at Montreal. No consistency. All teams have ups and downs, but it is extreme with this team.
 
Well, give them some credit for a great 3rd period. Maybe this will be a turning point. Saved AV's job for a couple of games at least you'd think.

If history this season is any guide they'll get rolled with defensive lapses all over the ice at high powered TB on Thursday, but we'll see.
 
Buchnevich is having an excellent start, now guys like Vesey and Skjei need to get going. It would be nice if Smith could get it together.
 
We shall see. They obviously need to start putting wins together.
 
Time to bring this back up. This assclown needs to go already. Enough is enough with this trash coaching. Buch gets demoted as soon as he is not having a good game but all the rest of trash like Hayes and Vesey continue getting icetime.

Nice turnover there by Hayes which led to second goal but yeah Vintalaugh continues giving him icetime.
 
Have no opinion as who stays and who goes with this team. But to watch a two line team which lacks
top center men with fill in subordinates just will not cut it in this league. I do not know if management
is satisfied with their game, but as a fan I am not. Of the three teams in this area, it looks like the
Rangers shit the bed more often and tell their fan base “we are really trying....………”
Bottom line: Rangers do not look like a playoff team!
 
Kinda sad to listen to Lvndquist where he did everything but stand on his head and lost to Columbus, 2-0.
Cannot listen to AV’s analysis of the game. Keeps saying the same things over and over. Dullsville!
 
The Rangers clearly sent a message that they are doing a quick rebuild with the Stepan trade. Nash will be dealt at the deadline for a couple of two's or a two and a three. If Smith gets his act together I think he goes for a 3 and a good, NHL ready role player prospect. I think they will throw McDonagh out there and listen to offers. I would also think they throw Hayes out there as well Zucc to see what teams offer.
 
Apparently Zucc was worried he was going to be traded recently. I can only hope that explains his lackluster start. He just dosen't seem himself. That goes for a few people.
 
He should be for many reasons. Honestly, I expect him to get dealt. He's a perfect target for a lot of teams. He can play both wings. His contract is friendly through this and next year. He's going to be 31 when his contract is up. He's going to ask for Stepan money which he deserves and he won't get it from the Rangers so they will lose him for nothing. Oilers are dying for a wing who can play the right side if you listen to all their fans. I would think you have to get at least Puljujuarvi and a first from the Oilers. The Oilers can't miss the playoffs. If they do, everybody over there including the GM has to be fired. They have to make the playoffs. Desperate team whom our moron GM could take advantage of if he had a clue.
