Steve Zipay at Blue Notes has some next day reaction to last night's embarrassment..."...Among the surgical options at Dr. Tom Renney's disposal tonight:
1. Leaving Chris Drury between Jagr and Straka, as he did in the third period against the Leafs and moving Brandon Dubinsky between Prucha and Callahan.
2. Getting D Paul Mara back in the lineup to move bodies in front and provide another look on the power-play point.
3. Battle all out for a lead in the first, or come out tied. The Rangers are 12-3-1 when scoring first, but 3-8-1 when allowing the opener.
4. See 3 above. And move the puck out of the defensive zone with one pass if possible.
A loss here would really tighten up the team even further, and could be devastating, especially when the sizzling Devils come to town Sunday at 5 p.m. A four-game losing streak could be in the wings.
Henrik Lundqvist needs to be sharper, much as he did when the offense was in a funk in October. Limiting rebounds is key..."
...I would absolutely love to see Drury continue to play on the first line with Jagr and Straka for the next two weeks. I also like the idea of a kid line with Prucha-Dubinsky-Callahan.
...Renney would be out of his mind not to return Staal with Rozsival and put either Malik or Strudwick with Mara.
...will the real Henrik Lundqvist please stand up.

Everytinh sounds good to me. Except Maliek being in the lineup. That should never happen again this year
Was Dunham in net or was that Muzzatti in net last night?
