Tanner "The Rangers' Class Pet Rock" Glass

[Radek27]

I'm not gonna come in here and say Glass is a great hockey player but you guys are getting a little too carried away with this. The guy is an enforcer and is not expected to score. If you don't like his contact blame the GM who apparently can't go a summer without giving some 4th line goon an overpay.

I think come playoff time Glass will become a little more appreciated around here

^ Why would an "enforcer" that can hardly play at an AHL level, if that, be appreciated even a little bit during the playoffs when the games are tighter, faster and nobody fights? That makes no sense.

He'll definitely be appreciated fully if he's benched for good in the playoffs.

Why? If he's a goon, as you say, recent history would suggest he'd play even less and have an even smaller role than he does now. In the playoffs, there are very, very few fights and the enforcer types generally find themselves glued to the bench.

You're absolutely correct in that Sather/Vigneault deserve the blame for this situation, but that doesn't change the fact that Glass is having a historically awful season. I'm rooting for him to succeed, but he's quite likely the worst player making regular appearances in the entirety of the NHL.

If Glass is dressing for playoff games this team is ****ed with a capital F.

I'm a little surprised by the posters in the last page stating that Tanner Glass "tries." Watching him the past few games it really seems like he is just out there pretending to play hockey. He doesn't really try to do anything.

He skates around, he turns and changes speed here and there, but it always seems like he doesn't know what to do so as long as he stays busy maybe he thinks no one will notice. I notice. When he hits its late and pointless. When he fights it's meaningless and he kind of just holds on so he doesn't get beaten up.

The guy is probably one of those funny people person kind of guys that has AV fooled. I know lots of guys like that. Phonies. But somehow they manage to fool so many people.

He's not even an enforcer, he's a waste of a roster spot and does nothing besides drag his linemates down. Great guy to have a beer with? Sure. But he's the worst ****ing hockey player I've ever seen in the NHL. I seriously think there's posters on here who could do better.

It's interesting. Last year we finally had a great fourth line and we got all the way to the finals. The previous two years our hopes were dashed by teams with better fourth lines than ours.

So if TG is still out there doing his thing (whatever it is) come playoff time we'll be at a disadvantage. The fourth line stinks with him on it. It's like a free-fire zone in our end when they're out there.

He was benched last year in the playoffs by Pittsburgh btw.

I think most of them would die.

If someone starts taking liberties with some of our smaller guys in the PO Glass will dress and you will want him to. You really think this small team will not need some protection if it comes to that?

I'm not saying he will dress every game but I can see some situations happening where we may dress him for a game or two per series.

He dressed for two games in our series with Pittsburgh (out of seven). His team lost both.

Yeah, that is unlikely

Right because we haven't beaten the Pens with him in the lineup, oh wait we have.

Here are the facts of the case:

- A hockey game is won by whichever team has more goals than the other.
- When Tanner Glass is on the ice, the Rangers have scored 1 goal and allowed 18.
- ONE and EIGHTEEN.

There's not scoring goals and then there's that.

Yeah, because he will be in the MINORS where he belongs, not taking up the space of far, far better players.

There's not scoring goals and then there's that.

When Glass is on the ice, 94.7% of the goals scored are going into the Rangers' net

Glass isnt even a 4th line goon.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

I think some people can't let go of the fact that neanderthal hockey of the past is going the way of a dodo. Most teams try to have a guy that knows how to play even if he can drop the gloves.

 

[bmoak]

Tanner Glass was never a good hockey player or a smart one, but I can't believe he's always been as awful as he has been this season. Three years ago in Winnipeg, he scored 5G9A-14pts while playing on the 4th line. I can't see how this year's Glass could possibly score that much. Even all all five of those goals in 'Peg bounced in off his butt, it would at least show that his line was keeping the puck in the offensive zone and getting chances and that he was going to the net and making things happen, neither of which you really see now.

Winnipeg fans say that he's decent. Pens fans and to a smaller extent Canucks fans hate him.

Im not sure I've encountered one Ranger fan who likes Glass.

But its a fun little narrative to make you feel smarter I guess.

Don't insult goons like that.. This guy sucks

A significant portion of fans at MSG buy into the whole "Glass is a tuff guy who sticks up for his teammates thing."

No one on HF or any other rangers discussion board likes him because casual fans don't discuss the team on internet message boards. But they certainly go to the games.

I once posted something about Glass on facebook and my friend chimed in agreeing with me. Then another friend who played hockey and I used to respect his opinion responded "you guys probably like Zuccarello". I'm sure there are a ton of fans at the garden that like him because he's supposedly a blue collar player. A lot of the crowd that goes to Rangers games and thankfully doesn't post here are the type of anti-intellectual buffoons that I wouldn't associate myself in real life.
