Gotta love Mess: Pat Leonard @PLeonardNYDN 2h2 hours ago Mark Messier : Rangers no underdogs in chase for Stanley Cup
Blueshirt Faithful @blueshirts_ny Mar 1 Henrik Lundqvist Career Stats: 672 Games Played, 370-224-69, 18,938 Shots Against, 1498 Goals Allowed, .921 SV%, 2.26 GAA, 59 Shutouts.
I can't believe this team won't put Staal as their first line center. Makes no sense to me whatsoever.
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.
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.
Adam Herman @AdamZHerman 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.
AM, whats he going to do when Nash comes back, Glass obviously should sit, he'll probably sit Lindbergh for Glass...uggghhh!
