1 Blind Mouse-Rangers@Senators Post Game Thoughts…

Posted by inferno272 on December 29th, 2006

Ugh, my long post game wrapup didnt go through when I hit publish, and I forgot to copy it to the clipboard before sending it (like I usually do) blech!!!!

heres a more abbreviated writeup since my fingers are now hurting:

Not much Renney could do, I dont see him as an offensive mastermind as it is.
Rangers showed a tremendous lack of heart for most of this game.

Fire Renney

The MSG feed dropped most of the 3rd, so I really couldnt come up with an opinion on what happened.

Washington should be where the streak ends.

Carbonation-Rangers@Senators Second Period Thoughts…

Posted by inferno272 on December 29th, 2006

The Rangers brought a bit more life into that period.? While not spectacular, they certainly looked more into the game.? Though they still struggled to put QUALITY shots on net, at least the quantity was far better than the first.

Is it just me or is Matt Cullen hockeys weakest player on his skates?? Either the guy dives like nobody’s business (not convinced about that) or the guy just cant stay on his skates when he takes even the slightest of hits.? Its simply amazing that guy is on his ass for a good 2-3 minutes a game.? Comon dude, learn to stay on your skates already!

At least the Rangers brought a bit more of an edge to their game into the 2nd. ? They certainly gave some good hits, though they probably took a bit more than they gave.

Henrik was solid in the second as well, hes definitely keeping the team in it, lets just hope the now 131 minutes of ranger offensive ineptitude ends soon so as to not waste a fine performance by Henrik.

Flat-Rangers@Senators First Period Thoughts…

Posted by inferno272 on December 29th, 2006

It is unfathomable, and deplorable that coming in with a 6 game losing streak the Rangers were that flat.? They were sluggish, almost uncaring.? They just didnt show up for that period, except for Henrik who made at least 3 SPECTACULAR saves, 2 on Alfredson on the same play off of a turnover on the PP, and one on Heatley who was wide open for a slam dunk that Henrik (flashing his ungodly lateral movement) got to.? The goal that the Rangers did give up was pretty suspect.? I know it was tipped, but it didnt look like much of a tip, so I really think Henrik should have had it, but with that said, Henrik more than redeemed himself with some superb play in that period.? But the team around him was awful, hes keeping them in it.

Renney BETTER be reading them the riot act in between periods.
