When Will It End?

That’s a question without an answer and for the New York Rangers, that’s not a good thing.
They lost another tough game last night to the Buffalo Sabres at the Garden by a score of 3-2. The team may have had 38 shots on goal but for that number, they were an inconsistent bunch.
More importantly, and perhaps worse, the Blueshirts allowed Sabres’ fourth liner Patrick Kaleta to score two goals and that was pretty much the hockey game. What does this team need to do?
That’s another question without an answer. There has been a lot of finger pointing lately whether it’s at Henrik Lundqvist, captain Chris Drury or John Tortorella. Right now, however, this team needs to take along, hard look in the mirror and decide what kind of hockey club they are going to be going forward.
Unfortunately, they’ll really only get one day to do that as they have a busy schedule this week:
- Atlanta Thrashers at home tomorrow night
- New York Islanders at home on Wednesday night
- New York Islanders on the road at Nassau Coliseum on Thursday night
- Philadelphia Flyers in Philly on Saturday night
- Carolina Hurricanes in Carolina on Monday, December 21
Looking at the schedule, it would appear that these are games that the Rangers can win, especially against the Flyers and Hurricanes. However, we’ve all been guilty of thinking that before and where has it gotten us?
So again, I ask, what does this team need to do to turn it around?
