Blown Away

The New York Rangers (15-10-2) were shutout tonight by the Carolina Hurricanes (15-10-3) 4-0. Cam Ward earned his second shutout of the season by stopping all 28 Ranger shots. Matt Cullen had two assists in his return to the Garden, while Cory Stillman scored his 14th and 15th of the season. For a full recap go to Yahoo! Sports.

...this was just an awful effort by the Rangers tonight. The players should have been at the exits after the game refunding everyone's money. I don't know how a team could come off such a great win against Ottawa and then just lay an egg at home.
...so much for the goaltending issues I mentioned in my pregame post. Cam Ward was solid but I don't think we ever really tested him.

...to really put a stamp on how much our offense has struggled this year Carolina has four players with double digit goals. The Rangers have none.

...lots of criticism to go around, but this falls on Renney for not having his guys ready to play against a team looking to redeem itself after a brutal 8-1 loss to the Buffalo Sabres.

...nothing else to do but forget this one and start thinking about Toronto on Thursday. I wonder if Renney will give Valiquette the start after his outstanding effort in Toronto a few weeks ago?
