But I didn't lose many. robix, I agree the D is soft, and certainly could be stronger. I just think there's no great team in the East and if you have the goalie and the system, why not? It's kind of like the Giants in that great NFC this year. great points, Peter. This is the kind of analysis I truly miss from Rangers fans. Reg, I did only win once as coach. But I didn’t lose many.

We've got once of the softest D corps in the league. Florida walked all over the D tonight, still lost, even though Lundqvist was fantastic. Backman was not the answer to our questions on D.

That was your ONE coaching victory wasn't it??? Therefore wouldnt that rank you right up there with Kotite and Trottier???? Hey Carp,

Problem is that it's really difficult to draw these types of conclusions and comparisons because of a variation on an old physics law: The act of observing something changes that which you are observing. Similarly, the actual existence of the "Bettman point" (henceforth known here as the "Zippy Point" for undisclosed reasons)changes the way coaches play with an eye towards overtime and ties and shootouts. I think. Honestly, points streak aside, I just don't like the Rangers' game right now. I could very easily see them getting completely thumped this weekend. No PP to speak of, making terrible decisions wit the puck including ridiculous east/west passes across their own zone and the neutral zone resulting in odd-man rushes. That's just not good puck support, it's not tidy, and it's not how you continue winning. It sounds as though they're aware of the fact that they seem to be winning these last few in spite of themselves, but we won't know until these next two games are done.
