jjp wrote: “There’s no amount of coaching that can compensate for stupid plays on the ice or lack of effort.”
there it is in a nutshell, sports fans. It’s all random. Doesn’t matter who’s behind the bench. Who can teach, who can motivate, who can withhold ice time. Who can establish a demand for excellence and hard work. Nope.
But then it gets better. because JJP then goes on to cite Claude Julien as supporting evidence for his argument … when in fact Claude Julien (replacing Dave Lewis and Mike Sullivan, who couldn’t coach the likes of JOE THORNTON successfully) is exactly the example that negates his whole argument! A coach who knows what he’s doing, getting performance from players who floundered under two guys who lacked Julien’s skills.
the cherry on top? Prucha or Potter in or out of the lineup has no importance “at the end of the day.” Wrong in and of itself, but the phraseology: At the end of the day! Quite honestly! Let’s identify the culture! Any other rennyisms you wanna throw in there?
you can’t make this stuff up.

thank God the world is coming round. Think there is any other coach in the NHL with the positive record the Rangers have who would get a C at mid-season? if that doesn’t tell you how little respect Renny commands (and deserves…) nothing will.

wd40December 29th, 2008 at 11:37 pm
what is truly terrifying? it’s that a slob like me who has called for Prucha to play regularly from day one might just have a better sense of what a valuable hockey player he is than the coaches he plays for (sits out for!), skates with, eats with, flies with, hotels with and busses with all season long.
Renny is so far over his head it is comical.
wd40December 29th, 2008 at 11:44 pm
“Playing in the NHL is an EARNED PRIVILEGE” “Why did [Prucha] deserve [ice time?]”To look out of it and scared”!! These nuggets were just written not about Redden or Roszival or Kalinin or any other of the abject failures on this roster this year like Voros or Drury—————- none of whom have missed a shift all year and almost of all of whom have consistently shied away from physical contact—————- but about Prucha. Laughable.

ok, renny droolers, time to weigh in on how there is no way to play an upbeat game.
wd40December 29th, 2008 at 9:44 pm
lobster, you fraud, this is exactly the type of game:
1) that your hero Renny hates
2) that he lost control of
3) which is why the NYR won
If you and all your other Renny droolers still believe that the go-for-it ethic you saw tonight has ANYTHING to do with the tyoe of “Patient” game the boob wants to play, you are as lost as he is.
wd40December 29th, 2008 at 9:52 pm
allow me to repeat it, this was the ultimate ANTIDOTE to the “patient” game that Renny told a national audience tonite that he wants to play.
How do the Renny Droolers remain Droolers? The evidence keeps pouring in to slice and dice every argument they have!
wd40December 29th, 2008 at 10:31 pm

Happy new year to you as well
wd40December 28th, 2008 at 9:01 pm
hey loneranger you wrote ” All you guys want an up tempo offensive style? Fine. See how many goals this team gives up…”
did you see the third period against SJ?? That was up tempo for almost the entire last ten minutes and NOT one scoring chance was registered by the sharks. the idea that up tempo means a million scoring chances is simply untrue.
and when you’re defending a guy whose supposed defensive bias leads to 23 scoring chances against WITHOUT an up tempo forecheck, you should realize your argument is, ahem, faulty in its reasoning power.
wd40December 27th, 2008 at 11:55 pm
somebody wake me when this thirs-rate used-car salesman takes responsibility for the slop he shoves onto the ice night after night. i have never seen a team with less of a clue when they do not possess the puck. it is EMBARRASING.
This is not about personnel. this is about players having no incentive to perform the most basic of duties on the ice, duties you are taught when you are SIX years old.
Why? because they have no respect for this wimp.
wd40December 28th, 2008 at 12:01 am
“omg seriously guys.. u’ve been begging for renney to take account for the play.. he has… and yet u still crtisize him”
Clueless. Because as long as Redden takes a regular shift, or Voros dresses, or Kalinin shies from contact, Renny is not “taking account.”
I hope are you joking? you think this a-hole acknowledging the shit play he is getting from this team that an infant can see is shit is taking responsibility???
wd40December 27th, 2008 at 7:52 pm
jjp, fine. Now let me know when you understand who’s responsible for the defenseman’s position when he rushes the puck deep in the zone.
wd40December 27th, 2008 at 7:53 pm
if the Rangers continue not to hit in their own end of the ice, they will lose this game going away
wd40December 27th, 2008 at 8:00 pm
jjp, okay then by that rationale, i’m gonna point out that you have it wrong on the quality of this coaching staff! :)
I’ll take your word on the two different plays….
wd40December 27th, 2008 at 8:15 pm
18 shots against, with scoring chances way over 50%, is simply unacceptable.

possible that MGS is tilting against Renny? because Trautwig just asked Maloney how the Rangers could start such a big game so flat. unusual for this joke of a network.

Why is it that no Renny droolers are ever around post game to discuss? I know some of them will claim thet were at the game, but gimme a break.
This was an effing disgrace. a four goal lead at home with less than half a game to play against an injury-riddled team with a pathetic goalie…..and this Ranger team finds a way to blow the two points.

Prediction tonight (which I hope doesn’t come true):
Rangers come out as usual, slow, “feeling out” Caps who play hard from opening faceoff and build good lead. Rangers try to crawl back but too little too late.
again I hope I’m wrong. But why is it so hard to imagine thgis team jumping on the opposition at home early and often and demoralizing them and winning the game in the first twenty minutes? why does this never happen? Oh yeah now I remember, they’re coached not to play that way until they are way behind.
wd40December 21st, 2008 at 9:26 pm

who is going to establish a physical presence on this roster?? The play without the puck is still scary, like as if Beer Me is coaching.

at least the pre-game outed Redden and Roszi and Kalinin as the horrid slackers they have been …. of course Maloney drove the discussion, and Micheletti looked sick in having to agree, but it is probably noteworthy that even a tepid critisicm got on the air.

JJP, if prucha was the “high forward on the strong side’ as you say, that means he was the forward closest to the puck carrier Girardi, which means Prucha is supposed to support that man. the forward furthest from the puck (Gomez) and from the play then has the responsibility to cover for Girardi. if we’re talking about the same play you’ll see Gomez behind the net, far from either the puck or the point!

wd40 sorry guys, to explain edward fraser is the guy on the Hockey News who put Renny in top three coaches. happy to give Tom credit for the PK, he deserves mention there without a doubt, but no way has he hd to go thru anything like therien and sutter w/injuries
wd40December 4th, 2008 at 9:45 pm
not a well-coached team, is all you can say. maybe not the worst coached team in the history of the NHL. but not a well-coached team.
wd40December 4th, 2008 at 9:59 pm
Sam and Joe can suck my youknowwhat, Baghdad Bobs is all they are. “physically worn down!,” yeah that’s a championship motto to hang your hat on. two games back to back, oh the horror
the rangers are fundamentally UNSOUND and won’t hit won’t hit, did i mention they won’t hit, in order to slow down a fast but skinny & beatable canadien team
wd40December 4th, 2008 at 10:57 pm
to all the knuckleheads who think the press is tough on this team——has there been ONE article written by any one on the beat (or Brooks or Greenberg or Staple in a column) that has adressed the Roszishit and Reddencrap signings this team made?
if the press was tough on this team those guys would have targets painted on their forehead and esp. on sather’s!
but the fact is that Glen sh!ts all over the reporters, refusing even to take their calls or be interviewed, and they lap it up and keep kissing Ranger brass ass and not telling the true story of this team and its lazy, passive, loser management and coaches. pathetic.
wd40December 4th, 2008 at 11:12 am
JJP you’re dead wrong, the player who didn’t cover for Girardi on that rush was Gomez. try again with your bitter prucha jones.
wd40December 3rd, 2008 at 6:37 pm
at least Maurice took his team to the finals in ‘02, has to count for something among people around here who jump up and down at getting to the second round
d40December 3rd, 2008 at 7:52 pm
therien is definitely the man on top AC to Renny’s on all fours DC in that one
wd40December 3rd, 2008 at 8:15 pm
4th line on ice for another goal against, shit
wd40December 3rd, 2008 at 8:32 pm
Almost another shortie——wtf
wd40December 3rd, 2008 at 10:14 pm
shesends, wanna revise your pregame Prucha prediction?
billy dee, i think the negative people you mntion are actually positive people, who would like to see this team use the energy the MSG crowd can provide by attacking and not playing anal-retentive Renny hockey
wd40December 3rd, 2008 at 10:53 pm
renny didn’t laugh at therien, he ran to the other end of the bench, scared and shakey with a messy diaper!
wd40December 4th, 2008 at 10:12 am
duh, Dan, the “complaining after a win” you cite is wrong. the back-and-forth on Renney and Therrien started when the game was still in the first period, dolt.
wd40December 3rd, 2008 at 3:55 pm
i hope Prucha plays well, i know he’ll play hard, but i also know he won’t get power play minutes that matter from Renny. what would be nice is for the whole team to play in waves, with emotion that lights MSG up, the place has been a morgue too much this season
wd40December 3rd, 2008 at 12:11 am
travis, you are looking for reason where there is none, Renny is grasping at every straw just like you and me, there is no plan just a hope and a prayer. part of this is on Sather who is unbelievably lazy and checked out but a lot is on renny who literally is picking names out of a hat because he has no sense of what works, he lacks that hockey intuition that no coach who lacks it can win jacksquat!
wd40December 3rd, 2008 at 12:18 am
To Beer Me and Staal Wart and all the others who have cried about the supposed degradation (?) of the talk on this site i think today shows there is a lot of reaaly interesting back and forth
of course if you want to hear nonstop Renny is the greatest thing since sliced bread you might go elsewhere but no one today has gone after the coach too bad. so I am certain now that those guys have taken their ball and gone home NOT because the back-and-forth got monotonous (sp?) but because in fact the level of dialogue got BETTER and LESS kiss-ass of the status quo …. and when that happened, Beer Me and Wart and the rest had no answer! because they were wrong, and they were too small to admit it. pretty sad and small when you come down to it
wd40December 3rd, 2008 at 1:13 am
LI Joe—get off your high horse, do you not remember the crap that Beer Me poured on anyone who dared question Renny last year, last playoffs. gimme a BREAK!
and love the way you left out Staal Wart’s “morons” and “assholes.” hard to respect you when you choose your targets the way you do.
wd40December 3rd, 2008 at 1:30 am
LI Joe— since when what does the timing of Staal Wart’s “morons” and “assholes” comments which you obviously saw mean they can’t be sited by you when attacking other who don;t agree with you! amazing how selective you are, when the worst words were used by SW and no one else

Let’s Go Rangers! because that’s the bottom line, isn’t it?
wd40December 1st, 2008 at 1:48 pm
Joe from LI, tell me that you find Renny’s comments about the press making the PP worse acceptable, tell me that you find that even close to professional from a caoch.
wd40December 1st, 2008 at 1:49 pm
BeerMe, hah, the facts went against you and you bailed rather than admit you’re defense of Renny was wrong, open and shut, when it gets too hot the kitchen gets left.
wd40December 1st, 2008 at 2:04 pm
Joe from LI, again I ask a very simple question of you. Do you find that Renny’s quote about the press being to blame for the PP is professional/acceptable?
wd40December 1st, 2008 at 2:09 pm
Joe You can’t answer a direct question!LOL
wd40December 1st, 2008 at 2:14 pm
OK Joe from LI, the bonus round where you get ANOTHER chance to answer a simple question that has nothign to do with renny getting fired but about his behavior today.
Do you find that Renny’s quote about the press being to blame for the PP is professional/acceptable?
wd40December 1st, 2008 at 2:34 pm
Joe, well I guess you HAVE stuck your head in the ground if you refuse to even read a quote from the head coach! talk about denial. LOL
wd40December 1st, 2008 at 2:45 pm
just hard for me to stomack how people get offended by posts here and on other blogs but do not show the same disgust for when the coach blames the press for his PP, that to me is way more offensive than anything i read from people here, even the ones who hate me!
wd40December 1st, 2008 at 8:12 pm
great post czech, i think you nailed the big points, especially the way the guy slimes Staal and whines about the VERY friendly press. the more I think about him bringing Staal into the question on Redden the more it gives me the creeps, not the act of a man whose honorable.
wd40December 1st, 2008 at 10:19 pm
Stall Wart’s idea of the way the blog should be:
“Lousy effort? No way. Tom prepares his players great. The Panthers were too good.”
“I agree. Anyone who thinks players on this team aren’t improving every day must be stupid.”
“Why are people complaining? The Rangers win a playoff round, before losing their asses in the next round. That’s a whole lot better than it used to be!”
“Yeah, what’s all this whining, can’t people see that the PP is the media’s fault?”
LOL
wd40November 30th, 2008 at 5:53 pm
come on Renny backers, we need to hear what you think will make this team play hard, play with heart and guts that is not there now for a month! that;s the first thing, play hard evry shift and then worry about whsoe roster is better, wash (? really? with Poti and that goaltending?) or anyone else
wd40November 30th, 2008 at 3:37 pm
ok what else do people need to see that this team is held to no standards, they don’t hit they don’t hit and then they don’t hit and renny doesn’t even seem to know thats a part of the game. the safest plkace on earth is the front of the Ranger net LOL
wd40November 29th, 2008 at 5:39 pm
gresch—bada-bing, amen. and like you said what kills me is how Renny’s posse on this board keeps showing there ignorance with each word they write, especially becuase they’re trying to look like they know what they’re talking about. it is insane! lol
wd40November 29th, 2008 at 6:02 pm
LI Joe, please, come on. i don’t want to bully anyone i just think people who try to “explain” this game to others shoudl know what they don;t know. and with friends like these, renny doesn’t need enemies becuase their lack of hockey knowledge hurts thier defense of him
wd40November 28th, 2008 at 9:42 pm
ha, will Renny sell out Betts for that lazy penalty the way he sold out Mara to the press for going after Ruutuu?? I think we know the asnwer
wd40November 28th, 2008 at 9:57 pm
Dubi – You are 110% correct. Orr can’t skate well enough to be on the ice in the last few minutes of a one-goal game, Renny the dope!
wd40November 28th, 2008 at 10:23 pm
Joe LI—does that sound like a guy who believes in the guys in front of him can contend for anything close to a long playoff run? not to me. LOL
wd40November 28th, 2008 at 10:48 pm
i just wish there was a Messier in the lockerroom to get up in Reddenrap’s face and shame him to play harder/tougher/with even a drop of pride!
Renny will never call Reddenshit out. So when this team in a coupla months in the playoffs loses in 5 games to a team they coulda beat, there is part of your asnwer why!
wd40November 25th, 2008 at 6:54 pm
Good Times: great, Renny for Pres in 2016, because you like playoff hockey? yeah but you clearly don’t like too much playoff hockey. like a couple rounds max, right? Win one, lose one, get the clubs out. wonderful
wd40November 25th, 2008 at 10:15 pm
Rob L.: amen, brother, Im on your side of that one. Free Peter Prucha and put him on the power play point like Emile the Cat used to play Bobby Rousseau. So sit down Roszibust and Reddenshit. how can it be worse than what it is with those two buzzkillerz?
wd40November 24th, 2008 at 9:55 pm
very happy to get the win, didn’t look too great at the start but credit where its due. Hank is an island too often, and Renny ain’t no savior, but anytime this team wins I’m glad.
wd40November 24th, 2008 at 11:49 pm
now can we please put soemthing together against good teams that hit and compete and won’t allow the soft plays to pass without hurting the NYR when they commit them? because they have to beat the Pitts and Monts and PhilFlys and even the Bruins to make a mark this season.
I am really glad for the win, it feels good. And I just want them to beat the good teams too, because they are coming up on the shedule soon!
wd40November 23rd, 2008 at 1:42 pm
incredible that the Renny chorus is still nowhere to be found, where are you cowards anyyhow?
wd40November 23rd, 2008 at 10:26 pm
When is the Renny chorus line of Brandon & Dude& Beer Me and the others you know who you are gonna show their faces? Buncha pussies f you ask me, LOL.
wd40November 23rd, 2008 at 10:47 pm
LIJoker—- yeah right the weekend that must be it! you think those guys would not be hawking their usual crap if the team played even close to a honorable game in Ott yesterday? they are too afraid to face the music and you and I know it.
loneranger—- wrong. The veterans on this team who with a good coach would be ashamed to play this bad are NOT young. Drury, Naslund, Rozsicrap Reddenshit, Kalinin, that is a solid vet core group and to make excuses like that is stupid.
They’re in a slump?? They’ve been in a slump for more than half the games they’ve won, wins they only got because HL stood on his dome! Wake up
wd40November 23rd, 2008 at 11:18 pm
Joe from Islanderville—- I guarantee I have rooted for the Rangers longer than you have, and I don;t live in enemy territory like you.
I want a coach that demands accountability (sp?) and wants to win as much as I do! every young player on this team has gone south since the beginning of the year, why is it a crime to point this out and ask where are all the losers who told everone who thinks renny can;t do they are idiots, I repeat where are they??
You have excuses and alibis—- are you telling me that none of them have been near a computer since Fri? Hahaha
wd40November 23rd, 2008 at 11:31 pm
Joe LI—- Whoa, you called me a name “class act” and not being a Ranger fan, and then you turn around and you got the balls to call someone ELSE out for name-calling?
Up your meds, bro
wd40November 23rd, 2008 at 11:33 pm

Where is Beer me, & Brandon & BillyDee, adn Dude1994? Where are the guys who have been telling everyone this crap has nothig to do with bad coaching. it’s a fricking joke

Torts, maybe Marc Crawford. Two Cup winners wathcing from the sidelines right now. Pat Burns, another one with a Cup if he’s healthy enough i know he had cancer.
wd40November 22nd, 2008 at 10:46 pm
Staal Wart
Are you deaf dumb blind?
yeah he calls out Voros Dubi Z, but what about guys who have played so much worse, don;t you get that you make the arguement for the other side without even knowing it, he won’t call out Rozsicrap or Reddenshit, so what does it matter, the players know he’s a wimp he craps on players who were never counted on the be the rocks of this team and completly excuse the guys who were supposed to be solid and try hard!
Ignore the evidence all you want, in the last few days Renny’s told you he coaches fine they don’t follow his wonderful instructions, then he says he doesn’t even teach in practice. He is clueless and you don’t even see it

November 22nd, 2008 at 12:48 pm
Did anyone else notice this quote from the coach following the Vancouver game? I just found it this am at Blueshirt Bulletin and my jaw is still on the floor.
“Asked why the players were falling back into a passive 1-2-2 defense instead of forechecking Vancouver, Tom Renney said, ‘That was their choice, not mine.’”
!!!!!
Somebody, anybody from the Renney fan brigade wanna address this and spin it as a positive?
wd40November 23rd, 2008 at 12:34 am
dr house it’s not of question of players ‘bringing it’ it’s a question of who’s in charge. It’s like Coughlin telling the Giant defense to safety blitz, then watching all 11 guys fall back into pass coverage, hell with the pass rush!
What makes it worse is that Renny didn’t even call a timeout to demand the game be played the way he wanted it to. like he’s totally irrevelant.
wd40November 23rd, 2008 at 12:57 am
Yeah, right, the head coach of a football team has no responsibility for the play of his team. If Coughlin isn;t the defensive coordinator, he gets a pass on anything that happens on that side of the ball! LOL. Just like Renny gets a pass on the PP. It’s Pearn’s fault! LOL
Renny body-snatchers got another one. Zombies unite!
