After getting off to a 12 and 5 start, the Rangers have lost 5 of their last 6, and GM Lawrence Linke ain't happy. After a beating by the Red Wings, Linke was quoted as saying "I don't mind losing to a team that is playing like that, but I will not accept anything less tha 100%. We didn't show up. I don't know if it is the coaches fault or the players fault but I need some leadership and I need it now".  He also muttered I wish I could send some of  these fuc#$$%Y^ to Hartord. When asked if any moves were in the planning stages Linke retorted "you can bet your last dollar on that".

At this morning's pre-game skate Anders Lee was moved to the 1st line with Sean Couturier and Cam Atkinson. Rick Nash was on the second line with Kevin Hayes and J T Miller. Jesper Fast moved up to the 3rd line with Artem Anisimov and Brandon Saad while Josh Anderson was dropped to the 4th line.

On defense Ryan Ellis moved up to the 1st pair while Kris Letang skated on the 2nd pair. Frederick Anderson was the first goalie  off the ice.

While walking away and on his phone Linke was overheard speaking with what I assume was another GM saying "I'll send him to fuc$%^& Boston and he can play for that guy"
