    I can't believe this team won't put Staal as their first line center. Makes no sense to me whatsoever.

    Staal as wing but taking most of the faceoffs, that's what I hear

    Do you think he's better than Brassard?

    Could be the system is different than what he is used to, break him in slowly as opposed to playing him at center and trying to absorb all the responsibility of new center position.

    It's the most demanding position to play in hockey as you know.

    Do you think that Stepan is better than he is? Stepan is the first line center.

    Which is a joke, because this team is fare more deficient at wing than it is at center.

    Yet statistically speaking, he excels at that challenging position far better than anyone else on this team.

    I agree with you, but he has played in the same system with Carolina for a long time, I don't think AV uses the same system as the Hurricanes.

    I'm sure once he gets the last 20 games of the season under his belt, he will be ready to play center in the Rangers offensive system.

    I'm looking forward to the game tonight, hope they put a hurting on Cindy.

    This team is going nowhere. 3 goals in 2 minutes? really?

    I'm not exaggerating here. Tanner Glass literally played 1:40 more than Eric Staal did at 5v5 in the third period.

    Dog shit Girardi also led the team in TOI again, of course.

    I'm starting to wonder if Vancouver sent AV here to sabotage the organization as payback for 1994.

    Lundqvist was pulled right? I expect him vs. Holtby tomorrow then.
