Post-Mortem

Over at The Ranger Report, Sam Weinman offers some quotes after last night's 6-2 drubbing...

"...Note that even Tom Renney is acknowledging the season is slipping away.

'The games are starting to diminish. They start to fade away pretty fast,' Tom Renney said. 'So we can not sit here and feel sorry for ourselves. I’m not happy with our play. I’m not happy with the way we’ve been unable to deal with this. But clearly I’ve got to do a better job, too. It’s time for me to step up. What we’ve got to do is recognize this is a situation that is staring us right in the face. Our season is probably somewhere in the next couple of weeks.'

'Obviously we’re a fragile team, and that’s a bad thing,' said Scott Gomez. 'As an older guy, that’s letting the younger guys down.'

'It’s always frustrating when you’re not there for the team, to make that extra save when you get a chance,' Henrik Lundqvist said. 'The only thing I can do is work harder in practice than I did before. But somehow the puck finds a way to go in. It’s not good.'"

...pretty scary when your coach is saying the season is slipping away in early January.

...while my rant last night might have been over the top, after checking out a few Ranger Message Boards this morning at least I know I'm not the only one who feels that its time to push the panic button. Check out MSGNetwork Ranger Message Board and New York Rangers Bulletin Board.
