Why is Madison Square Garden like a bordello? Because the Rangers can’t score in a whorehouse.

Why are Ranger fans like codfish? Because we let this team just keep reeling us in and letting us out again.

Why do both Glen Sather and John Tortorella need to be fired? If you don’t know the answer to this question you weren’t watching tonight’s game.

One hundred and twenty five minutes of hockey and a shoot out and not one goal scored by the Rangers. That’s some achievement. Not.  The Rangers play one of their finest games in recent memory against Marty Brodeur and the Devils and then turn around and lose one of their worst games to AHL goaltender Mike Brodeur and the Ottawa Senators.

Tortorella’s answer to the shoot out loss against the Devils and the lack of goal scoring was to have his team practice the shoot out and the powerplay. That would have been fine if the Rangers were able to get to a shoot out or work hard enough in the offensive zone to draw a powerplay. Tonight they didn’t and weren’t. Torts has them practicing the shoot out and the powerplay? Please.  How about teaching these morons how to make and receive a pass? Just a thought.  I’ve seen the Little Rangers play better fundamental hockey then the Rangers did tonight.

Tortorella should bag skate these guys every practice until they bleed. They’ll continue losing and then we can all call it a season. The faster they are out of playoff contention and a new fire sale begins, the happier I’ll be. Sather should already be gone and maybe he should take Tortorella with him. Tort’s time out tonight certainly wasn’t the answer to the Ranger’s lackluster start to this game. In fact, it turned out to hurt the team at the end of the game when it should have been called.  

If I were Lundqvist I’d beg to be traded rather then spend the best years of my career on a team with Brashear, Drury, Rozsival and Redden. Henrik can get up and talk in the lockerroom until he’s blue in the face and it won’t make a damn bit of difference. This team has no heart, no guts and little skill. Lose those four wastes of cap space and the other underachievers like Boyle, Higgins and Voros. Bring up the youth and let them mature.

I would gladly sell all my remaining tickets at face value and donate the money to a worthy cause like Haitian Earthquake Relief then to have to sit and watch any more of the dreck the Rangers tried to pass off as professional hockey tonight. Right now they are a disgraceful excuse for a team.

Is it the trade deadline yet?
