You know there are serious problems when Hagelin is the best player consistently every game. I don't understand why Richards was allowed to play in the OT if he was benched in the 3rd. Doesn't make any sense at all. What is the message being sent to him or the team???
Exactly. It's easier to single out the goalie though.
Guys stop blaming Marty. He played a good game. He only had one bad goal. He made VERY key saves to keep us in the game.
We got a point.
if it wasnt for Biron it would have been 6 or 7-3.. i mean how many times Islanders were left in front of the net waiting for a pass... Rangers need to get tougher. i guess they lost they when they traded Dubinsky Prust

Islanders have one ****ing key player and that he remains not getting rocked by a hit is an anomaly.
Actually, it isn't.
They also play soft against Crosby and Malkin, hence why they have their way with us.
Don't even know what to say about this game. Putrid.
Against a bottom feeder. Blowing a 2 goal lead.
Tortorella again with no substantial answer. Juggle lines. Shorten bench. No adaptation to the game situation. Just grab names out of a hat, throw them on the ice, shorten the bench and wear out guys in the process.
Asham less than 3 minutes. So worth it to scratch Kreider.
Miller, benched after a mistake? What a shock. Great for his confidence. Don't let a young player play through it. Bench his ass! That's the answer!
Don't try to use your head and put players that may actually work well together based on each players skill sets. Instead throw darts at a wall.
Gaborik scored. Now he can go back to hibernating for weeks at a time.

Miller goes back to Hartford I'd guess.
can the Rangers send Richards on a conditioning stint??

I would put Richards on the third line for 2 reasons. It would mtoivate him and it will actually help kreider and have someone who can set him up at the net

Last year, Richards went into a funk. Tortorella demoted Richards to the third line. I don't recall for how long.
Eventually, Callahan assisted him in coming out of the funk. If I recall correctly.
give it a rest with Gaborik already, isn't it enough he scores 40g, and score again tonight.
It seems like he only creates one scoring chance and then disappears. I'm not expecting him to score night in and night out but he doesn't turn it up a notch.
Nash, now, he isn't putting pucks in the net but he's definitely giving the opposing team fits.
Rangers need to get tougher. i guess they lost they when they traded Dubinsky Prust
