His reputation is going to follow him around but I hope he never changes his on ice rep.<BR/><BR/>If the NHL doesn't like it, too bad!Kotsy's Kornerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16450255858469964123noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3968760202711798607.post-55007690761545146642009-03-10T18:17:00.000-04:002009-03-10T18:17:00.000-04:00I think Avery played better than he did on Sunday ...I think Avery played better than he did on Sunday against the Bruins. Of course he took those two penalties that negated two Rangers PPs, but he looked more comfortable. The first penalty he took was awful. But the second one on Corvo I think was based more on reputation. I honestly do think he was trying to trip him up, but if it's another player besides Avery I'm not so sure it gets called.<BR/><BR/>Your blog is great btw. It's invaluable to get perspective from a Pro.

Carolina looked like they had rockets on their skates going by, pretty much all of our d-men.<BR/><BR/>They need to rebound against Nashville, because right now we still hold our own destiny (more points than buffalo and a game at hand & 1 pt behind Carolina). We gotta take one game at a time, try not to look at the home and home against Philly just yet.Wrath of Sanityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04550273768030515133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3968760202711798607.post-89063316751119891582009-03-10T10:17:00.000-04:002009-03-10T10:17:00.000-04:00Jack McDonald: Thank you for the kind words.

Canes goaltender Cam Ward really had few difficult shots to handle.<BR/><BR/>Unfortunately for the Rangers games are dwindling down. Every game has Playoff implications written all over it and last night was a dud.<BR/><BR/>Being aggressive is good as long as you don't forget your end of the ice. <BR/><BR/>A good example was The Canes first goal. Corvo beat Dubinsky and Zherdev back in to the defensive zone and he's a D-man. That's Unacceptable.Kotsy's Kornerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16450255858469964123noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3968760202711798607.post-26474590131881690002009-03-10T09:59:00.000-04:002009-03-10T09:59:00.000-04:00Kotsy,Nice blog!

The ...You don't stand a chance if you do not score. The Rangers went to Carolina for the opportunity to win 2 points. They did not. The team had problems finding the net. The Canes blocked many many shots from the points and face off circles. 28 shots on goal these days by the Tortarella Rangers suggests the opponents played superior defense. The Canes did just that. What the Rangers were forced to do by Carolina was to try to generate chances from behind the goal and along the walls. The Rangers were ok with that part. But they failed in getting the rest of the players to the front of the goal. This game needed a lot of slot pinching by the defense. They did not do it enough. Stall was the only defensemen who drove the slot. Michael Roszival needs to go. He is the worst passer in the history of the Ny Rangers in my opinion. Roszival's inability to process information on the fly is down right criminal. The amount of time it takes him to make a move is amateur in caliber. It must be fixed. He plays too much.JohnMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16516036351741409622noreply@blogger.com
