Well, well - Are you listening, Ross McKeon? This is from the New York Post's Rangers blog, and I think it's worth a read. Come along, read we?
"Second, The King has looked less than regal for a while now. It’s tough to point to any one thing that he’s doing resulting in his decline, but there is a decline nonetheless. His catching glove looks slow (always a death sentence for a butterfly goalie), he is making some rather less than stellar decisions out of the goal and he seems to have lost some focus. When he came out of the net tonight in an attempt to play that puck behind in that atrocious second period, only to see it slow and stop before the trapezoid, it was dumbfounding. He never made mental mistakes like this before. He has never been DiPietro trying to be a hero with the stick, and I don’t think in this situation he was doing that, but his over-eagerness to play the puck cost the Rangers the tying goal. Of course, that was followed by another terrible-angle shot that went in off of Lundqvist’s leg - a sight becoming all too familiar - and poof, they're now down 3-2."
Oooh..."decline," "less-than-stellar," "DiPietro"? Those are harsh words, indeed. Could it be that a Ranger is...shudder...more hype than substance? Naaaawwww...
