    Check Please – The Rangers Season is Over

    After yesterday's dismal loss to the Bruins it's safe to say that the Rangers season is officially over. For the mathematical pundits and coach John Tortorella, they are still in it but for any fan, it's painfully obvious that the end is here. While the final autopsy may be three weeks away, its not too early to ask, what's next.

    With ten games left in the season, its time to see what the kids can do. Bench Redden, Rozsival and 'The Joker' Jokinen and bring up Sauer, Potter, Sanguinetti, Grachev, Heikkinen, Newbury, Byers and anyone else who might make an impact next year. Let's see how they fare with more than 8 minutes of ice time and start getting a picture of who fits into the future plans. If nothing else, it will add a spark to a lifeless team and it will send a message to the overpriced veterans that nobody is safe.

    The 'Fire Sather' chants have become deafening and they're not about to abate any time soon. But the cries of, 'Fire Torts' will start joining them for equal time. This team has clearly quit on him and he has proven unable to manage this group of players. The constant line changes, the double standards over who is held accountable on the ice, the over-use of Lundqvist, the lack of leadership and the head games with the players via the media, has definitely worn out Tortorella's stay in the Big Apple. Some may say they players are at fault because first they couldn't play for Tom Renney and now they can't play for Torts. While this team wasn't built well, and is in need of massive housecleaning, the fact remains that Torts didn't get the most out of the talent he had on the ice. This team, even though lacking, is better than their record indicates.

    As far as the future, its a cloudy crystal ball. I don't believe that Messier, Keenan and Graves are the answer. It seems that every day I read another fan looking for some combination of the three to take over as GM and coach. If the idea is to move forward, then you can't do that trying to recapture the magic of a very special year. Mike Eurzione was a great leader on the 1980 USA Olympic team but nobody thought the US team would win a gold medal if Mike coached them or picked the squad in 2010. It just doesn't work that way. We may love Messier and Graves (and you would be hard pressed to find two more quality individuals) but it doesn't mean that they are the best people for the job. If anything, I have a huge fear that Messier wouldn't want to make wholesale changes based on his history and respect for Glen Sather.

    The Chris Drury situation is what it is. The Olympics showed that he's a solid player when he's used the right way. Given the right supporting cast, he can be a good defensive center that can work the penalty kill with the best of them. However, that skill set doesn't match his price tag; and it's impossible not to expect more from him and be disappointed given what he makes. Personally, I think Drury should lose the 'C' and see if the reduced responsibility improves his game. Its hard to use the two week Olympic competition as a microcosm of his career but it seemed that he played better when he wasn't asked to lead the team. (And if you look back to his days on the Avalanche, he was best when used behind Sakic and Forsberg).

    The final thing to remember is that the Rangers may not be good for a few years. Derek Stepan and Chris Kreider electrified crowds during the World Juniors but they're a few years away from being ready for Prime Time. Add that to the fact that bad contracts have handcuffed the Rangers up against the salary cap and you have a recipe for mediocrity. Thankfully, Jokinen has played badly enough that even the Rangers won't be tempted to re-sign him and his salary comes off the books at the end of the season. I would say, 'we'll get 'em next year' but after the last week I can't quite muster the conviction to make it sound believable.

• MSG Network MSG Network

  • From: richterforever
  • Description:

    Can someone out there please explain to me how MSG Network works? I live in upstate NY close to Utica. I have Time Warner crap. If the Sabres, who play at HSBC arena are on I don't see the Rangers. If the Sabres are not on and the Knicks and Islanders or Devils are on I dont see the Rangers. They will show the Devils or Islanders on MSG + and not the Rangers. The only hockey team mentioned above that plays at MSG is the Rangers. However there the last team showed on MSG. I dont get it. I'm forced to watch The Sabres and listen to the most obnoxious announcer in all of sports in Jenneret. I know there are a lot of people out there that like this guy. Personally i cant wait until he retires. With his constant screaming he just gives me a headache. On another note, why is it so far out of the realm of possibility that Messier be offered the coaching position. Does he not want it? The greatest natural leader and motivator in sports?! Someone said he has no experience. The guy has 30 years of experience in being a leader.

• Rangers play with no passion o Rangers play with no passion or pride

  • From: HarleyD99
  • Description:
    Last night I attended the debacle of a game versus the Penquins. I love the NY Rangers although sometimes I wonder why. Lately their play has been anything but inspiring. Obviously, they have forgotten the code of being a Ranger. Mark Messier helped revive that message years ago, resulting in the team's first championship in 54 years. However, the new kids on the block need a refresher course, PRONTO!! We fans are die-hard, loyal, never say die, hockey extremist who want nothing more than for our team to play as hard as it is for us to succeed in New York. DAMN HARD, but WORTH IT! We and our beloved historic franchise deserved no less. The Rangers need more WILL than skill. They are currently not a team full of skillful talent. A few players like Drury, Redden and Brashear had it years ago, but not lately. So in essence, they need to play like construction workers with a deadline. Gritty, sweaty, feel no pain, get it done, no one is gonna beat us kind of hockey!
    Sadly, this problem starts at the top. GM Glen Sather (God love him for his Oiler days) needs to help this team develop an identity. HIS new coach, Tortorella, still can't find a number one line! The season is half over Torts! The players don't know their role on the ice. Complete confusion and utter chaos was all I saw. The way Torts wants them to play, his "system", isn't working because it can't with the current players on the roster. Gaborik and Lundquist are the only legit World-class players he has, yet they're out there trying drop-passes every time they enter the offensive zone. I think he might want them to be a dump and chase team that grinds it out in the corners, but they're not gritty enough. The best asset Torts has is the one he praises the least: SEAN AVERY!

    He's the smallest guy on the team, listed at 5'10". Yet he's the most physical Ranger in years! Avery is the Rangers' emotional leader, enforcer, agitator and sports writers' favorite target. Why? Sean gets it: he wants to win and plays like he does, period! In my humble (yeah right) opinion, Tortorella should use Sean as the mold for his team. Did I mention the guy has great hockey-sense and can score too. Sure, Avery takes a penalty once in a while, mostly because the refs are LOOKING to give him one. Not out of spite per say, just because Sean's style is pesty to everyone. But he's effective, just like another historic pest named Claude Lemieux who happens to have FOUR STANLEY CUPS with three teams. Rangers fans hate Lemieux, but he won. Lemieux won with Montreal in 1986, New Jersey in 1995, Colorado in 1996 and again in NJ in 2000!! He was also voted as the Conn Smyth Trophy winner as playoff MVP in 1995 with NJ. So, if Avery plays like him then let him.

    Once they regain their identity and remember the proud heritage of the Rangers, the team should swell with pride causing them the play their little hearts out. Winning the Cup, not making the playoffs, is what it's all about. This team should do an analysis everyday to determine whether they're getting closer to that goal or not. Sounds simple, but they are playing like they forgot the mission. Slogans in the dressing room are cute, but real passion and pride is tatooed or your soul. Ranger fans know exactly what I mean. We bleed blue because Ranger blue pumps through our hearts. This current roster needs to fall in love with the franchise they play for before they can give it everything they have to give. When that moment happens, the Garden will rock like...well 1994!!

     

    Favorite moment from last night: Singing the Rangers chant after they score a goal! HEY, HEY, HEY-HEY-HEY-HEY!! Doing it twice was oh so nice! But win the next one guys! Let's go Rangers!
