Overpaid-Completely-Sucking-O-Meter
Glen Sather: He put this mess together, and mysteriously seems to have his job for life. It looks like he’d have to kill somebody to get fired.
Wade Redden: A disaster. He’s -10 for the year, and only five more seasons to go.
Scott Gomez: -11, 1 power play goal
Chris Drury: What leadership? -10
Michal Rozsival: -13
Tom Renney: The players are mostly to blame, but Renney keeps putting the same players on the power play and does nothing to motivate this bunch of deadbeats. Unfortunately, you can’t fire all the players, so it’s time for a new coach.
Dmitri Kalinin: Another free agent blunder by Sather. -9

The-Few-Guys-Actually-Doing-Their-Jobs-O-Meter
Henrik Lundqvist: Single-handedly won a number of games. The Rangers would be out of the playoff picture without him (and may soon be out of it with him).
Marc Staal: The team’s best player besides Lundqvist.
Blair Betts: Second best PK in the league, and he’s a big reason why.
Ryan Callahan: 13 goals and always finishes his checks.
Paul Mara: -2, which for this defense is second best to Staal.

Ryan Callahan: 3
Dan Girardi: 2
Erik Reitz: 2
Marc Staal: 2
Nigel Dawes: 1
Petr Prucha: 1
Wade Redden: 1
Nikolai Zherdev: 1

I think I heard a fire Sather chant today. I think your criticism of Renney is fair, but what is he supposed to do with this group of hacks. There is probably no chance he gets fired either. There is no accountability in the Garden as it took them years to fire Isiah who was 10times worse than Sather.
I doubt this team is ever going to win as long as Sahter is running it and Redden, Gomez and Drury’s contracts are weighing this team down. I actually like Gomez and Drury, but they are overpaid to the point where they are hamstringing this team.
After Todays effort You would think that Sather and Renney would both be fired. But knowing ownership they will allow the rangers to be a last place team for 3 to 4 years before a change is made.
