Rangers Tonight

The Rangers will try to re-discover themselves against the Islanders tonight.  Because AV always makes changes after losses, Malone is in and Miller and Fast are out.  Kostka is also in for Hunwick.  Of course, blaming kids and replacing bad with worse on D doesn't really address what went wrong the past two games -- it's called effort.

In general, after playing good team D in game one, they've played horrible team D in the 6 periods since.   D is all about positioning and moving your feet.  And that's all about wanting to.   Until they want to again, and get their compete level back where it should be, the bad hockey will continue.

They'll be bigger but slower tonight.  We'll see if that works better than it sounds like it should work.
